A fan dresses up in a storm trooper costume as Nebraska takes on Northwestern
The Nebraska Cornhuskers beat the Northwestern Wildcats, 76-60. The Cornhuskers were up by only 2 points at half time, but ultimately pulled away in the second half for a very comfortable win.
This was a game that Nebraska really needed to win after dropping two in a row to Michigan and Minnesota. Even with the extra motivation, it was the type of game that fans could sit back, relax and casually wear a storm trooper costume to.

Wait, what?
That’s right, one crazy fan felt the need to show his appreciation for the Empire’s most abundant soldier during a Tuesday night college basketball game.
This is not to be confused with Star Wars night, as the University of Detroit did back in 2012 to help with ticket sales. Nope, this fan just thought it would be a good idea to go to the game dressed as a storm trooper.
Sports make fans do bizarre things. Whether it is the New York Jets super fan,”Fireman Ed” or the Utah State basketball team’s own Wild Bill, fans will always dress up and support their favorite team in unique ways. Now, the Nebraska Cornhuskers have a storm trooper who nonchalantly sits in on their men’s college basketball games.
May the force be with you, Cornhuskers.
