Nebraska superfan and lead actress from BET's Being Mary Jane, Gabrielle Union has never been one to hide her love for the Huskers. Earlier this fall Union managed to recruit her husband and Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade into the Nebraska family. Tuesday morning Union took her affection for the Huskers to another, very public level while at the LAX Airport.
To the man at LAX in the #NebraskaBasketball gear, sorry about mildly tackling you... I see a fellow Cornhusker & i gotta hit ya with #GBR

Husker fan sightings are very common coast-to-coast, however this wasn't your average run in.
I'm pretty sure it was my Asst @PhilBeckner ... He already texted to tell me!!!! #GBR https://t.co/sGHRn7qAM6

@itsgabrielleu haha! I thought that was you! Thanks for all the support. Out on the recruiting trail trying to find future Huskers!!! #GBR

Coach Beckner did have one follow-up request though.
@itsgabrielleu @CoachMiles I should at least get a follow back now...

Seems reasonable, but Portland Trailblazer guard Damian Lillard couldn't resist the opportunity to give Coach Beckner, his former coach at Weber State, a hard time for it.

You win some you lose some.

There's a lesson here for Husker fans. It's a good idea to represent the N while on the road. You never know who you might run into, or who might run into you.
