Made the trek from Omaha. Maybe not my smartest decision, got on the interstate and saw a dozen or so vehicles in the ditch. Took almost 30 minutes to get to the Gretna exit from Sapp Bros. Roads got progressively better after the Platte River. Was extra motivated because I scored floor seats. What a great game! Physical, hard fought. Brice and Juwan are so important out there. Big guys did their job for the most part. Interesting that Cale played over Gavin. I suspected that may have been coming. 
Pretty dicey/icey coming back to Omaha, but worth it.

Dylan R, Emmet Johnson, Malcolm Hartzog, and Ceyair Wright sitting courtside - I was really close to them. Dylan was more than gracious as every timeout more and more kids/fans asked for selfies and autographs

Dylan and Connor sharing a moment after the game, talking for a few minutes. 
Also saw Connor and Emmet chatting for a bit. 
 

Hope they have fun in Hawaii!
