Deacon here. First, jauken - I'm sorry I missed you. I look forward to catching up on my next trip to Lincoln.
It was a great college football gameday. Very exciting for us to have Nebraska in town. Again, I salute WF and Nebraska for making this happen. Not many of the traditional powers would travel to Winston to play in a 32,000-seat stadium (ND has rebuffed us for decades now), but NU did it, and we appreciate it.
I enjoyed meeting a number of Husker fans on Friday and Saturday.
The crowd was great. Very spirited and excited, especially when all of us were wilting in 90-degree glaring heat. I wish it had been a night game! As Jauken said, it was "perfect storm" of having a big crowd, construction going on, and the heat . . .that made for a circus. The concession stuff was terrible, without question. We're used to that size crowd (we averaged 32,500 last year, just below what we had on Saturday), but it was just a mismanagement situation. Sorry to all those whose game experience was affected by that stuff.
Congrats to the Huskers for a hard-fought win. We've very disappointed here, but also know that we lost to a good team and that we still have an opportunity to have a great season.
Go Huskers the rest of the way! And join us again in Winston-Salem anytime you can.
