Video summary
Press to jump
- 5:22The crew puts on shirts featuring an illustrated portrait of Compton before the campus show.
- 8:26Compton leads Nebraska chants, crowd-surfs and receives two historic game balls from an academic advisor.
- 13:42The shuttle ride becomes a word-puzzle session as the crew tries to uncover a double-letter rule.
- 17:54The group arrives at Scary Acres and heads into the haunted attraction.
The crew has brought shirts bearing an illustrated Will Compton, and the man himself has a crowd ready to chant with him. Before Nebraska's game against Indiana, Compton's return to Lincoln looks like a celebration.
The Bussin' With The Boys vlog follows that homecoming from backstage preparations to the stands, with Taylor Lewan and the crew making a detour through Scary Acres along the way. It has drawn about 26,000 views in ten hours, already several times the channel's usual full first-day audience for videos of this length.
Compton, who played his college football at Nebraska, leads the campus crowd in "Go Big Red" chants and goes crowd-surfing. An academic advisor presents him with two historic game balls, explaining that they previously had to be taken back because giving them to him broke a compliance rule. It's a more personal souvenir than the shirts.
Not everyone shares his confidence about the game. Former intern Danny Durkin predicts an Indiana win before the live show, earning some friendly mockery from Compton and Lewan. The title tells you whose optimism survives: "Curt Cignetti & The Indiana Hoosiers Break Will Compton's Heart In His Return To Nebraska."
Viewers are discussing Compton's attachment to his school, while an Indiana supporter singles out Nebraska's game-day atmosphere. Others have a separate concern about the weekend itinerary: whether a haunted house works quite the same in daylight.
