Taylor Swift joins fiancé Travis Kelce at Nebraska-Cincinnati game
SEASON AFTER THE PASSING OF ICONIC PLAY BY PLAY VOICE GREG SHARP, WHO DID BOTH FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL. WITH MORE ON THE NEW VOICE OF THE HUSKERS, LET’S REJOIN MATT SOTTILE IN THE STUDIO IN OMAHA. MAT BILL NEBRASKA WILL HAVE PLENTY OF NEW FACES ON THE FIELD. IT ALSO HAS A NEW PLAY BY PLAY VOICE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2008. KYLE CROOKS IS STEPPING INTO THE BOOTH FOLLOWING GREG SHARP’S PASSING. IT’S AN OPPORTUNITY CROOKS HAS BEEN WORKING FOR HIS ENTIRE LIFE. MEANS EVERYTHING YOU KNOW, IT’S EVERYTHING THAT I’VE WORKED FOR. IT’S, YOU KNOW, IT’S BEEN A LONG JOURNEY. GREW UP IN NEW JERSEY, SPENT THE LAST EIGHT YEARS IN THE SOUTHEASTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY AND THE SEC AT THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA TO HEAR VOICE OF OF HUSKER FOOTBALL. IT IT JUST I DON’T THINK IT’S NECESSARILY SUNK IN YET BECAUSE OF THE MAGNITUDE OF OF WHAT THAT MEANS. TAYLOR GETS THE SHOTGUN SET, GIVES IT TO JACK. HERE HE GOES. LISTEN TO THIS CROWD. HOW HAVE YOU FELT GREG’S IMPACT SINCE YOU’VE ARRIVED? I THINK GREG UNDERSTOOD WHAT BEING AN AMBASSADOR FOR A UNIVERSITY, FOR AN ATHLETIC PROGRAM MEANT TO THE COMMUNITY. WHEN I HAD MY INTERVIEW WITH TROY DANNEN, HE HAD MENTIONED THAT THE WAY GREG MADE PEOPLE FEEL WAS SPECIAL BECAUSE WHETHER IT WAS SOMEBODY WHO WAS A PART OF THE CLEANUP CREW OR WAS SOMEBODY WHO WAS A SENIOR ADMIN, HE MADE THEM FEEL LIKE THEY MATTERED. HOW ARE YOU LOOKING TO MAKE YOUR OWN MARK AND MAKE THIS ROLE YOUR OWN? I THINK THAT TAKES TIME. YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE’S GOING TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO LISTEN IN THAT FIRST GAME IN KANSAS CITY AGAINST CINCINNATI, AND AND THEY’RE GOING TO BE BUMMED. FANS AREN’T GOING TO JUST ASSOCIATE KYLE CROOKS WITH HUSKER FOOTBALL. AND THE ONE KEY ADVICE, THE THING OF ADVICE THAT I’VE GOTTEN FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE I’VE TALKED TO IS YOU HAVE TO BE YOURSELF. WHEN FANS ARE TUNING IN TO THAT FIRST GAME OR THROUGHOUT THIS FIRST SEASON, AND THEY HEAR KYLE CROOKS OVER THE AIRWAVES. YOU HOPE IS GOING TO HAVE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF IMPLICATIONS. WHAT DO YOU WANT THEM TO TAKE AWAY? YEAH, AND EXCITEMENT. UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE’S A PASSION TO WHAT I DO. I LOVE THIS CRAFT, THIS PLAY BY PLAY CRAFT. AND I’M A VERY LOYAL GUY IN THE SENSE THAT NEBRASKA GAVE ME MY SHOT, GAVE ME MY SHOT TO LIVE MY DREAM, TO BE AT A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CARE AND THAT I COULD BE HERE FOR A REALLY LONG TIME. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THE EXPERIENCES OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS THAT HAVE HELPED YOU GET TO THIS POINT, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT JOURNEY AND ULTIMATELY GETTING TO WHAT YOU’VE CALLED A DREAM VENUE? I THINK OF MY PARENTS. I THINK OF MY DAD, WHO SACRIFICED A LOT. MY FATHER’S NO LONGER WITH US, BUT HE PASSED IN 2023 AND HE WOULD DRIVE ME TO BROADCAST JUST TO MAKE SURE I GOT THERE SO I DIDN’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT DRIVING AND I COULD FOCUS ON THE NERVES THAT I HAD OF THE GAME. YOU WOULD SIT IN THE BLEACHERS OF A DIVISION THREE FOOTBALL GAME THAT HE DIDN’T NECESSARILY CARE ABOUT THE RESULT AND WOULDN’T EVEN BE ABLE TO LISTEN, BUT HE MADE SURE THAT HIS SON GOT THERE FOR HIS BROADCAST. YOU KNOW, MY MOM, WHAT SHE’S MEANT TO ME. I WORKED A LOT OF SIDE JOBS TO KEEP THIS DREAM ALIVE, AND THEY HAD EVERY REASON TO SAY, HEY, KYLE, WE NEED YOU TO GO OUT AND AND DO THIS. AND I DON’T THINK BROADCASTING IS GOING TO WORK, BUT THEY NEVER DID THAT. THEY PUT MY DREAMS FIRST. THEY SACRIFICED A LOT. AND MY MOM, MY DAD, MY FAMILY, THEY’RE THE REASON I’M HERE. CROOKS TELLS ME HE’S RECEIVED AN OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT SINCE HE TOOK THE JOB IN JUNE, AND IS EXCITED TO MAKE HUSKER FANS PART OF HIS FAMILY AS WELL. BILL. CHASING A DREAM AND NOW LIVING IT. MATT. VERY COOL. THANK YOU. LET’S TAKE ANOTHER LOOK INSIDE. MEMORIAL OR EXCUSE ME, ARROWHEAD STADIUM, WHERE HUSKER PLAYERS JUST WENT INSIDE THE LOCKER ROOM. WE ARE NOW LESS T
