Savannah Bananas coach and director of Banana Ball, Adam Virant, is from Grand Island, Nebraska, and went to Papillion La Vista High School.
Now he’s coaching the Bananas inside the stadium he grew up going to. ❤️
WATCH: An emotional Joba Chamberlain takes the mound as the surprise Savannah Banana tonight. Chamberlain pointed to the sky in the honor of his late father.⚾️

This song - and now video, means more to me than most will ever know. There was no way to include everyone I love who has been so important in my life, so apologies in advance if anyone feels left out - just know I love you all and dearly miss all of you who are no longer with us. God Is Good. ✝️

HUSKERS ARE HOME!✈️🏀
Nebraska Men's Basketball arrives to @LNKairport greeted by a sea of #Huskers fans. A proper welcome home after making the Sweet 16.

The record books will state this NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament game between Nebraska and Vanderbilt occurred at a “neutral site.”
Tell that to the Commodores.
OKC: Enjoy this video of something you’ll rarely see… A full house in downtown OKC loudly united behind one team… that is not from Oklahoma.
Nebraska fans: Safe travels home Sunday. We are grateful to have been the home of your newest core memories.
And thanks to the NCAA, all eight teams and their fans, and everyone who made this weekend possible!

I was flying Southwest from Dallas to New York. Three rows ahead of me, there was a young soldier in uniform. He looked barely 18. He was staring straight ahead, gripping the armrests. He looked nervous. When the drink cart came around, the flight attendant asked him what he wanted. 'Coke, please,' he said. 'Heading home?' she asked kindly. 'No, ma'am,' he said. 'Deploying. First time.' The whole row went quiet. The flight attendant didn't say a word. she handed him his Coke. Then, she got on the PA system. 'Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very special guest in Row 8 today. Private Miller is on his first deployment to serve our country. Since I can't buy him a drink, I’m going to ask a favor. If you want to write him a note of encouragement, pass it forward.' I grabbed a napkin. I wrote: 'You got this. Stay safe. - A dad from Row 12.' I watched as napkins traveled up the aisle. Napkins, receipts, pages torn from books. By the time we landed, the soldier had a pile of paper on his tray table three inches high. He stood up to get his bag, and he was wiping his eyes. He carefully packed every single scrap of paper into his rucksack. 'Thank you,' he told the flight attendant. 'No,' she said. 'Thank you.' We all walked off that plane a little quieter, reminded that freedom is just a word until you meet the kid who is defending it.
