College GameDay reveals guest picker for Nebraska visit
Making the show’s first trip to Lincoln, Nebraska since 2007, ESPN’s College GameDay announced their celebrity guest picker on Thursday: Gabrielle Union.
An actress, model and wife of former NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade, Union was born in Omaha and has been a lifelong fan of the Cornhusker program.
Here’s what Union had to say on Twitter:

Hosting the No. 5 Ohio State Buckeyes (4-0), Nebraska if off to a 3-1 start.
Led by sophomore quarterback Justin Fields, junior running back J.K. Dobbins and senior wide receiver Binjimen Victor, the Buckeyes are averaging 53.5 points per game.
Opening their season with a 35-21 win over the South Alabama Jaguars, Nebraska fell to Colorado in Boulder on September 7, 34-31. They have since responded with back-to-back victories over Northern Illinois and the Illinois Fighting Illini.
