I posted this last year but sentiment holds true!!!!! Time to REFUSE to LOSE!!!!! Losing is a mindset... you can be defeated in a game but you NEVER lose if you always give your best! Its about Effort..its about unity and its about intensity... Bring on the Trojans My friends...the time has come..to raise the roof and have some fun..throw away the work to be done..let the football play... everybody sing everybody dance..lose your self in wild romance were going..win the game against the trojans, everybody sing along! My fellow Husker faithful..it is time that HERE AND NOW, Nebraska regains its respect in the National Media and we truly Restore the Order... We will show the nation this weekend what we all Nebraska people are truly made out of.. Heart, Determination and Pride. So, be anxious today, Be ever vigilant tomorrow and lets ALL CELEBRATE with Pride when Nebraska shows Everyone what we have in store for them this year. Restoring the Order isn't just a catchphrase..it has to be a frame of mind..it has to be the Eye of the Tiger that burning passion you feel for Nebraska. I am truly excited about this team... and even if we perchance happen to lose.. know that the effort made by our fine young men will relaunch Nebraska back into Dominance..

Deac/jason.. You guys were WONDERFUL hosts... i took great pleasure in emailing the Wake Forest president and alumni via the contact webpage and telling them how awesome we got treated by your students and fans... I must have had 50 people tell me good game or welcome to the campus... If you get a chance Jason, please pass on this sentiment from Husker Nation that we are greatful for how we were treated!! Awesome close game... you guys proved whyyou were the ACC champions and have nothing to be ashamed of.. Only thing i would question is your temperature It HAD to be 95 the temp after the game was 92 on campus GAWD IM STILL DEHYDRATED Stay in touch!!!!! if you ever need anything..let us know!!!!

will put pictures up this afternoon.. got about 20 of players, game etc.... im no photog but some of them turned out ok J

Hi All, Here is my WF trip report.. Started on Thur night 10 pm from nashville..pulled into a quality inn east in knoxville for a 2am stop... got going around 9 am on friday heading for asheville NC.. Pulled into one of the most awesome hotels in asheville.. Homewood Suites.. it was awesome room but ill get back to that.. Went to Biltmore hotel with my gf and saw 4 NU fans in the Organ room.. we chatted briefly and headed on with my tour. Winery on the property was awesome and i just cant comment on how HUGE the place is.... pisgah national forest use to be owned by the vanderbilts and they said mr. vanderbilt wanted property for as FAR as his eye can see.. which was around 900,000 acres .. sold about 895,000 acres to government to make that forest...fyi Now, onto game day. Left asheville at 6:30 am for the 2.5 hour road trip to winston-salem...the cops were OUT IN FORCE...saw at least 5 state troopers but i was moderate in my speeding and so they didn't mess with me... Saw SOOO many abandoned cars on the side of the road..didn't know what that was about (I-40 east). Scenery was AWESOME...saw the purples mountain majesty around daybreak and the winding roads on the mountains were challenging at that time of the morn. saw only 1 Nebraska car on the way to the game...started to get nervous that maybe we wouldn't "show out" during this game.. Pulled into W-S at 9 am and there was no traffic.. i mean i thought i was in the wrong place!!! We pulled to the front of the stadium and my GF said is that the stadium, its so small, not like lincoln! We found parking in the senior center and saw all of our Nebraska brothers and sisters tailgaiting near the auditorium. Saw the Nebraska alumni get together at Ernie Shore field. So i buzzed my new Nebraska friend that i met while selling my extra wake tickets on here in the blue lot.. Thanks Jamie D for meeting us and being so friendly.. Met one of his buddies back from Iraq/Afghanistan and thanked him so much for his service... On the way down the main parking lot drag and older Wake Forest Fan jumped out at us and said , THANK YOU FOR COMING!!!!! Hope you dont beat us too bad.. I assured him that we were glad to be here and game was gonna be close... Tried to hook up with another WF friend i met on here.. Jason C but couldn't get him.. So we wondered thru the red lot and caught the huskers coming off the team bus.. Cheered for them as they went into the stadium. Ok, at this time its Warm.. Ok, i lied its HOT..but we found the football center and decided to sit down and people watch.. Saw the WF football team file into there locker room.. WF players were on the small side... Sat for a couple hours in the AC till 11:30.. then made our way up to section 9 row YYY seats 23 and 24..... There was a TON of red in the stadium... I would say at least 10 to 15 thousand... We sat across from the band and was happy to hear Dear ole Nebraska U a couple of times... Game was hard!!!!! I mean Keller was staring down receivers and i commented that he is gonna get picked doing that...and so be it...it happened.. Cant give enough credit to WF mis-direction offense.. it was very hard to stop..they were quick, motivated by their fan base and just tough-nose guys..they didn't give us anything...we had to take that win. Ok, the officials were well.....bad... For both sides... the first pass interference call called on NU in late 4th quarter..the offical, at least 40 yards away and other side of the field and behind the play called it... he wasn't the person to make the call and looked like a bad call... The interception.. It looked like Eisenhart caught the ball and the replays were at BEST inconclusive but the ACC official in reviewers box gave them the ball. Thats right..it was a HODGE podge of officals, NOT just big-12.. the ACC was the tower reviewing plays... The last pass interference call.. ball was uncatchable so even if grixby gave him some loving at the end.. i think a no-call was fair. During the game WF ran out of ICE and Water.... GF commented that they were not used to thse huge crowds and maybe were not prepared for the day.. I think it was kind of a perfect storm.. HOT.. about 96..a HUGE thirsty cornfed crowd and the first game of the season... After the game... 99.9% of the WF fans were the best .. I mean they stopped us and thanked us for coming, said good game... Couldn't have been more nice! Only 1 bad apple in our section who was more than spirited..he was obnoxious but with 95% of our section husker fans, he didn't get much of a foothold. Met several parents of players after the game... Met Ben Martin's mother and father... I believe Ben is a 3rd string RFR Defensive Tackle... Saw Patrick Witts Grandpa and talked to him... Saw Quentin Castille uncle/aunt i believe.. Met the team bus after the game and hung out in that crowd..got some awesome pictures. Talked and shook hands with Ricky Thernase...told him to kick USC tail.. he said that there was no doubt they were ready for them.. Saw Marlon Lucky.. stood right next to Buddy Wyatt Dline coach and shook hands with Quentin Castille, DJ Jones... It was a husker fan dream... never got this close at a home game... Drive back to asheville was tough as dehydration was setting in and it was a good ride though cause we won.... i would have been hot and miserable if we lost.. but i was hot, miserable and a winner though Homewood suites in Asheville is awesome to stay in if you get the chance...HUGE rooms, great breakfast...highly recommend!!!!!! Any questions, feel free to buzz me.. i do have pics if u want them to be posted Jeff

True it hasn't formed YET..but some of my local forecasters are saying that by end of today/tomorrow it will be a TS and then a hurricane..and that the projected path was wilmington... but out of 10 models, i only saw 2 that hit landfall... just wondered if anyone here was a meterologist and could provide his input.. J

Hey yall, Coming to the game this weekend...YEAH HUSKERS. Do we have any weather people out there who can give us some opinions.. I have heard that there may be a Tropical Storm Gabriella or Hurricane Gabriella that may hit Wilmington NC this weekend.. Models are sketchy right now.. But was wondering will that affect Winston-Salem Weather for the game.. Bring a poncho.. ooor could there be a no impact whatsoever. Any amatuer or formal weather people would love to hear your opinions... Jeff

is anyone doing a Hq FOR WF? i mean would love to hang out with fellow huskers! Jeff

That's great, I did not mean for you to think I would believe you were a sellout. But I know there is so-called husker fans that are using there tickets for personal gain, because they know that real husker fans will do what it takes to be there on gameday. These NEB/usc tickets have got out of hand, sure I could use a thousand dollars or more but I would rather have my happy a$$ in my seat come gameday. i agree..i sold my extra tix to a husker fan (off husker list i think) in like 5 minutes after i posted....i could have gotten more via ebay.. was worried cause my main tix hadn't come in the mail yet..but i got them yesterday so now im happy!
