"What Nebraska does is it sets the bar, and we're becoming a worldwide brand. There was some girl outside the vanity just today, and I was walking in and heard her parents run up, and she's like, 'I came all the way from Columbia, the country, not Columbia, Missouri to see you guys this weekend' and she just wanted a picture that's worldwide so pretty amazing what we're doing," she said.
