Nebraska Cornhuskers News: Matt Rhule crashed a wedding, more

Nebraska Cornhuskers head football coach Matt Rhule has had quite the month of December. It's been the kind of rollercoaster Husker fans haven't seen since ... forever. It's no wonder then, that the hard charging, hard working coach needed to blow off a little steam and party hard as well.

At least it looks like he was partying hard on Saturday night as Rhule sent out a series of tweets that made most of Husker Nation believe he was drunk tweeting while on a plane heading back from Lincoln after being in Ainsworth.

It turns out that Rhule and most of his staff took a trip to make sure that current top 2024 commit Carter Nelson was still solid for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. It appears they got some good news, considering the mood he was in on the return flight.

The fact that he got to partake in a wedding while he was in Ainsworth might have had something to do with his mood as well. According to one Husker fan, most of the town was at this wedding and after the coaching staff paid a visit, they signed some autographs as well. Needless to say that couple has a couple of different reasons to remember Saturday now.
