Plans for Game One?

[BTF69]

What do you guys have going on?

Right now me and some friends are planning to leave Omaha around 8:30am and hit up the bars in Lincoln. Maybe stop by one tailgate.

Each year the Rail Yard has been opened I have noticed less traffic at the bars on O street.

Any of you guys going to Lincoln?

Sports bar?

Watch Party?

[RealTucoSalamanca]

Mancave - potentially with my son-in-law, more than likely alone.

 

[bmb81664]

I prefer to watch alone these days. No one wants to be around me when we are losing.

 

[c3o]

The neighborhood dads come to my basement - theater, pool table with another TV. The wives are drinking high noons upstairs at the kitchen bar and all the kids are in the den playing fornite.

Crazy that I look forward to this considering I spent my 20s and 30s drunk AF.

Don't drink anymore but I'll probably have a couple cigarettes and pick up trash as it goes so I don't have a monumental job the next day or even worse, that evening.

 

[GBRforLife1]

I won't be in Lincoln.

Crush some heaters outside the mancave...nice!!!

Time for the annual boys golf trip. Will be finishing the round as quickly as possible, to go sit and watch the big screen at the new outdoor pool area at firekeeper/prairieband casino.

 

[Pennsyhusker_rivals246774]

In my study in northeast PA, getting drunk on bourbon and texting my sister about how bad we are while throwing things around the room in a rage. Hopefully that latter reality changes this year.

You guys might crucify me for this, but not sure I'll watch. Forgot about this until today, but I think we're going to Minnesota for the weekend and to see my son at college. I think (and this is the crucify part) we might be at the Minnesota state fair on Saturday. Hey, it's UTEP - and I'll watch it later.

[BTF69]

Hahaha!

While I totally get that things come up, family stuff, weddings, stuff like that.

We get 12 of these a year and you pretty much know the time and date well in advance.

I will never be a "OH MY GOD, you have your wedding during a Husker game!" If anything, that can sometimes add a lot of fun to it.

But to not even know if you are going to get to watch it??? Ouchers

 

[SeaOfRed75]

Ribs. Possibly some pork belly burnt ends. A couple mojitos? First season with the 77" OLED in the basement.

Found a pack of American Spirits in the tool box out in the garage. Still in the plastic

Nah, this is just me deciding to do something else on Labor Day weekend. I decided 4-5 years ago I wasn't going to live my life pissed off every Saturday in the fall. I obviously watch every game, but if I have an opportunity to do something fun I'm not going to sit at home screaming at the TV. I wouldn't do this if it was a bigger game.

 

[litespeedhuskerfan_rivals19671]

I am so jealous of everyone who gets to watch the dawn of tbe DR era in the comfiness of your own home....in fact i'm jealous of everyone who's neighbor didn't set their home on fire

 

[realHuskerDrew]

Actually going to Santa Barbara for the weekend so have to find a place there to watch the game… but should be fun

Oh my god...Those are only 3.50 a pack NOW...when you got them they must have been like 43 cents a pack.

I get that...

I stopped getting as worked up over the games awhile ago. Now it is more of just a chance to hangout with friends, rip on each other, drink beers, tell stories. Walk around campus if we are down in Lincoln. Basically just a day to act young again.

I'll be high in the East Stadium with a Runza in one hand and a tube of sunscreen in the other. That is assuming the concourse wifi works so I can make the cashless Runza purchase. If the wifi works this will be my first cashless purchase in Memorial Stadium. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Ugggg, I am so hoping that it is way cooler. 87 sounds horrible right.

What do you expect in the end of August? At least it won’t be like yesterday and today..

You better figure a way out to sprain an ankle in the next 4 days, good sir.

Not sure if getting high is the best approach with all the people could make for a bad trip

 

[HUSKERFAN66]

I'll be at the game with my family

Like high up in the stands of the stadium or high in the stadium?

 

[inthedeed]

atlanta. watching tv ga/clem first game then huskers second game. mix of ga and husker fans. could be fireworks

 

[Bremser_rivals74172]

Yes.

 

[HUSKERFAN66]

I moved back home to Florida. I lived down here when the college football universe bowed down to Nebraska. So I proclaim the curse to be over.

For game day, I will be 3 to 5 miles off shore hunting bugs in the morning. Then we will move around looking for Yellowtail and Mangrove Snapper. Back in time to clean & cook during pre-game.

Do you use the bugs for bait

 

[Scat_Back]

The boys are coming over to watch on my patio. Grilling, liquor, beers, CFB 25 on Xbox after

 

[PeliniTheCrutch_rivals294365]

I’ll be going hair-of-the-dog after getting a huge W Friday night with a computer in my lap breaking down film and passing out sometime during the game.

Then I’ll wake up at like 3am the next morning to gameplan and read some great things about our Huskers.

That course is a treat. Don’t rush through your round for football. Enjoy the scenery and watch the repeat of the game, if it’s worth watching.

I just got a 77” OLED two weeks ago myself.

I won’t be watching any games this year, so your situation is minor. String me up!!!

 

[Champs 70-71-94-95-97]

20hr brisket, outdoor TV by the pool, variety of mixed drinks.

Spoken like a true HS FB coach!

I can remember coaching Saturday morning games, which of course meant, happy hour on Friday which of course meant going out Friday night, showing up to school hungover but like, that fun hungover, coaching the game and then heading out with a few coaches to get drinks at 11am.


Do you coach at a school where you pretty much know which games you will win and lose right when you see your schedule?

I've played there several times. It's been a bad last couple of weeks. I'm ready to relax by the pool and watch some husker football.

I’ll be flying in from Arizona and bringing my wife and kids to their 1st Husker game. This game has special meaning for me, as I grew up in Nebraska, went to college at UTEP, married my wife in El Paso, and my oldest son was born in El Paso. It will be nice to see the start of the DR era and witness the turnaround of Husker Football. Go Big Red!
