The 2026 Farmin’ & Football Tour kicks off in Lincoln, Nebraska!
Pat Spinosa and the Like A Farmer crew go behind the scenes with Matt Rhule and the Nebraska Cornhuskers for an all-access look at one of college football’s most storied programs. Coach Rhule sits down with Pat to talk about why farming represents the hard work America was built on, building genuine connection in today’s college football, adapting to NIL and the transfer portal, and why Year 4 at Nebraska is about taking the next step: “Now it’s time to go win.”
Pat also catches up with Nebraska defensive linemen Cameron Lenhardt and Riley Van Poppel to talk about their journeys to Lincoln, overcoming adversity, the culture surrounding Husker football, and what they’ve learned from the hardworking people of Nebraska. And it wouldn’t be Farmin’ & Football without feeding the boys.
Levrack’s Ol’ Bart fires up the Mill Scale smoker right on the Nebraska practice field before serving the Huskers a post-practice feast. From the farm to the football field, this is what Farmin’ & Football is all about: hard work, grit, community, and the people who keep showing up every day.
