Nebraska officials couldn't say no to the latest Jim Carrey movie filming in Memorial Stadium.

"Yes Man" opens Dec. 19, and some scenes were shot at Memorial Stadium during Nebraska's loss to Oklahoma State in October 2007.

Other scenes were recreated in California with Carrey.

UNL information director Dave Fitzgibbon says they made sure the university would be represented in a positive way.

In "Yes Man," a romantic comedy, Carrey plays a loser whose life takes a positive turn after he adopts a self-help program requiring him to say yes to everything.

The university got $10,000 for site location fees.

I'm sorry Lisa but your comment is way too general to even understand what you're talking about. Please elaborate if you're going to make such a comment directed towards UNL.
