Lincoln, Nebraska – A Lincoln man who had emerged from a more than 7-year long slumber fell unconscious all over again after learning that his beloved Cornhuskers still weren’t bowl-eligible. The man, Tony Jenkins, had been in a coma since January of 2017.
“His first words after waking up this morning were, ‘How many bowl games did I miss?’” said Jenkins’ wife Leslie via Microsoft Teams early this morning. “We only had him for a few moments. Once he heard the answer, he got this shocked look on his face, and then…” tears welled in Leslie’s eyes as she struggled to find the words, “wham, went right back under.”
When asked what she believed it would take to bring back her husband for good, Mrs. Jenkins speculated.
“If you’d have asked me a couple of years ago? I would have said getting rid of Frost. Now? If Matt Rhule doesn’t have the answer, neither do I,” she concluded.
