USA Jags

Good look inside the Jags stay in Lincoln. This was strange:

The Jags are scheduled to have a walk-through at a local high school – they've been told Memorial Stadium is unavailable – but head coach Joey Jones changes the itinerary. Instead of going to the high school, the team conducts its walk-through in an open field beside the hotel parking lot, a decision Jones later says was made due to the potential for espionage.

One other small thing I forgot to mention...Lolo's Flame Grilled outside the visitor entrance was really good. And the people working there were awesome. Is Lolo's a chain or do they just set up for game days?

 

 

I think it's pretty common place in sports now. I'm indifferent to it, but it probably would be good form to stop the music when they break huddle.

Yeah I have no problem with it pumping up the crowd before the play but it was blared almost up until the snap. For hurry up offenses it can be tough. Hope I'm not coming off as a complainer. It obviously didn't alter the outcome too much.

Looks like the conference sets the music rules? http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/02/26/sec-stadiums-to-turn-up-volume-drown-out-fans-and-bands/

 

 

Kevin Kugler: Nebraska 35 - USA 21

This sounds about right. I'm thinking 38-20 Huskers to the disappointment of Huskers44 and NUance . Go Jags!

On Saturday, his Jaguars will tangle with a team coached by someone who learned his craft from the same mentor. Nebraska's Mike Riley is the only other active head coach in college football to have played for Bryant.

I believe that there are usually around 8,000 people at the volleyball games, as it is usually packed or close to it.

That's unbelievable

Sorry for the double post.

Is the volleyball arena the same as basketball? How many fans usually come to volleyball matches?

Just bought two tickets off Stub Hub. We're in section A 11 row 5 so should be good seats. If you see two guys in South Alabama gear, come say hello and we'll talk some football before and after the match. We're looking forward to the trip

Hey guys, me and a buddy are flying in for the Nebraska - South Alabama football game this weekend. I've been to a handful of volleyball matches but none that rival Nebraska matches. From the looks of it you guys pack out the games.

I know this is probably a long shot, but does anyone have 2 floor or close to floor seats for Friday nights game against UC Davis?

If so, please send me a message. We get in late Thursday but can meet you anywhere around downtown or campus Friday. We'll be sightseeing then plan on heading to the arena.

Thank you and we're looking forward to our visit!

Which Lincoln brewery do you guys recommend for Friday? Any of them offer live music or a good atmosphere? Thanks

Thanks for the replies guys! I appreciate it

I think the rule is you must drink one drink for every section you are in...what section are you in again?

Section 21. Where's your tailgate?

We're in section 21 row 9 seats 25 and 26. I know not the best seats but being 9 rows up seems pretty good. It's our seat numbers I'm worries about.

In section 21, do you know if the seat numbers go from high to low or low to high from the aisle to the wall?

Thanks for your time and we're looking forward to heading up there in a few weeks

I like the food but I just can't imagine wasting your time there on Friday night.

Where would you eat on a Friday night that's got good atmosphere, cold beer and hot women? And preferably walking distance from the Courtyard? Thanks

Well, look here ColoradoHusker...our South Bama friend would like to see some beave...and not be sitting with old people and young kids!

 

I would hit the Rail Yard on Friday night for food. They have Gate 25 and a Mellow Mushroom and Wings and Rings (I think) much more sports, younger crowd, you can drink outside in the huge courtyard.

Haha thanks guys. All ideas are appreciated. Definitely not a shortage of things to do/see. Beave, history, steak, old people, college football it's all good!

Thanks again for your replies. I have a few more questions for you guys:

What time does the band play and cheerleaders come to Misty's Friday night?

Where is the main tailgating area around the stadium?

What's the open container law in Lincoln during game weekends?

Is the Champions Club open only to alums? It looks like a cool place to hang out before the game

Where do the students tailgate?

Do the fraternities host parties before the games? At Alabama the fraternity houses will have live music, bar and food before the games. Greek scene is huge at Bama

Being the Big Ten Network's Prime Time game, will the BTN have a "Game day" type set up on campus? Do any Lincoln news stations have any "Game day" type sets on campus?

We also switched our reservation to the Marriott Courtyard downtown to be closer to the stadium, bars, campus. etc. It looks like a great place to stay on game weekends.

Crotch shot for the South Alabama game... Thanks a lot Husker Tickets

Great stuff guys! Sounds like we'll have dinner at Misty's then head downtown.

Do you guys suggest eating at Misty's Friday night before the game? I hear it's a fun Nebraska tradition.

If so, which Misty's is better? Do I need to make reservations? Thanks for you help!

Thanks for the replies. Barry's roof top looks like a good spot to hangout

Can anyone suggest some good Friday afternoon downtown bars? Fun atmosphere, visitor friendly, happy hour...

I'm trying to find a place where a large group of South Alabama fans can hang out Friday afternoon and socialize with other Husker fans. Would like walking distance from Cornhusker Marriott

Any help would be appreciated

Great news. We're looking forward to a full day of tailgating. And seeing Memorial at night should be special. Go Jags!
