Anyone Notice the Nebraska pennant ...
At the Big Ten track championships? That race took place about 50 years before Nebraska joined the B1G ... more so the colors (red & yellow) where wrong. I know it sounds trite but I am a B1G fan.
shareNebraska's official colors are scarlet and cream, so maybe that's what you saw? Maybe cream was more yellowish then than it is now a days.
As for why it was even there? Beats me. While it does not mean the movie is portraying that Nebraska was competing, I admit it is odd.
Also, it was way more than 50 years that Nebraska joined the B10. It was 76.
