Abstract
This talk discusses a series of one-minute physics lectures given to the 9 x 10$^{\mathrm{4}}$ fans that attend the University of Nebraska home football games.~ The lecture topics range from gyroscopic motion to ionizing collisions between linebackers and I-backs. The problem of simultaneous edification and amusement of the fan in the stands is considered.
