Akron may not get their money

What I told people that babbled this type of nonsense, was “would you be fine with NU sleeping on cots or in dorm rooms in Ann Arbor??”   Usually ended the conversation quickly.

And my god the excuses and bitching from some of NU got four hours of sleep before a road game would’ve been comedy gold for years

I would be.  but it needs to be a whole facility like three floors and its own cafeteria.  Could be done if planned in advance.  The other team pays you something to stay there its not free.  But it is available, clean, safe, comfortable and you get your game in. 

Gdam, people, ever spend 18 nights in a tent fighting a mountain wildfire?  Or a whole summer in a barn loft bunkhouse in the sandhills putting up hay?  Afraid of a new dorm in Lincoln?  wow.  The only thing in Lincoln that scares me is the lack of red blooded republicans ( and traffic)

I haven’t done any of those things but have  I ever told you about the time I went horseback riding with a guy named Bill Brasky but there weren’t any horses around? Well, Brasky throws a saddle on my back and rides me around Wyoming for three days. Well wouldn’t you know it my stamina increases with each day and I develop tremendous leg muscles. So anyway, Brasky decides to enter me in the Breeders Cup, right? Under the name Turkish Delight. And I’m running in second place, and I’m running and I break my ankle! They’re about to shoot me, when someone from the crowd yells out, God bless him, ‘Don’t shoot him, he’s a human!'

So I guess what I’m saying is I’m glad we didn’t play under weird conditions because we are pretty thin and we can’t afford injuries.

"That's when dorm rooms became an option. Nebraska, which stays at the Cornhusker Marriott the night before home games, had secured vacant dorm rooms on the UNL campus for its players Saturday night. When it became clear that Akron couldn't find hotel rooms, Nebraska officials offered those dorm rooms to the Zips, Moos said. It appeared there would be hotel ballroom space available to provide a pregame meal for Akron players in the morning."

I met a smoking hot girl at Pershing once. It was a Golden Gloves Smoker where you pay five bucks to get in. You couldn’t smoke there though.

I've spent 20 nights without a tent, simultaneously fighting wildfires and wolverines. I dreamed of spending a whole summer in a barn loft bunkhouse putting up hay, because I was busy spending an arctic winter artificially inseminating narwhals. I never complained.  Just kept my head down and did the tough jobs that needed doing. That's what being a Democrat is all about. 

 
What if we made the Akron players bale hay?  I bet they’d fight the Buffs tonight for the right to play today. 

Frankly, I think we need that advantage.

Maybe if we promised Akron a 10pt lead and we would play without pads or helmets.  I mean we need that hard nose approach anyway right?

This is the most off-seasony topic we’ve ever head. I mean, it’s topical, but people are saying crazy things ‘cause the cancelled game affected their psyche.

The most awesome thing would have been the game being on Sunday at 10:30am

Could you imagine the students and how much fun they would have with that?  The bars, my god, that would be an extra home game for them.

Sorry, I didn't see this previously.

What makes you think ANY of these things you listed wouldn't have been taken care of by the athletic department? And if you want to know what the Marriott may have catered, call them. I have enough faith in our athletic department to trust that every one of these issues would have been handled properly.

There are people debating if they even handled the game itself properly due to the weather when they knew it was coming.  Yet you think they can just whip up some lodging and sufficient food for over a hundred people out of nowhere?  Okay....

And again.  Believe what you want.  Think how you want.  Akron did what they thought was best and don't owe you a thing
