This episode centers around Nebraska Cornhusker football. The Nebraska Cornhuskers have an ongoing stadium sellout streak for home football games dating back to November 1962.
The Lucky Pig Race was started "several years ago" and the Nebraska Cornhuskers won the national championship in college football that year. Nebraska has won five national championships in college football (1970, 1971, 1994 1995, and 1997), but it is not specified in this episode which championship they are talking about.
A Nebraska Cornhusker (the college football team for the University of Nebraska) themed episode is very appropriate for a series set in Nebraska . The Nebraska Cornhuskers have won 900 college football games (as of 09-21-2019) making them the 5th winningest program in the NCAA history.
