I have a couple family members that want to bring their 40 foot RV down to the mizzou game, since I always park at the same spot on campus, can anyone lend any information about what lots allow RV's, the price, and whether or not they're prepay. Thanks.

Is there any spots close to the stadium in lots with a good atmosphere that can accommodate a 42" RV? Its sort of a big rig, but do I need to pay in advance / be a booster to get a spot for it? Or can it just show up early enough on game day / night before to be fine? Parents are neither boosters nor been to a game nor attended a university so this being their first husker game is pretty exciting for them. They decided to bring the big rig down for it and they're looking for a good first experience tailgating for the Mizzou game.

The intro music / tunnel walk from 2006, is the Theme Song to the Show The Contender. You can download it from Hans Zimmer's website. Hope that helps.

NU is going to play a close game to vtech, but I expect it to be close until the end of the 3rd, NU wins, Nebraska 38 Virginia Tech 28. Mizzou will be close the first quarter but expect Cheese Burger Daniels to light up our secondary and blow out the defense. The offense lead by Ganz will be stunted by a lack luster performance of Marlon Lucky. Expect big gains on plays from Helu Jr. late in the game. Nebraska 24 Mizzou 42

Why waste your money on a ticket then if you are going to wear headphones and zone out all the noise.. Might as well watch from home, atleast you'll get more angles of the field for your money, not to mention grilling an entire 5 pack of brats on the grill is less than a single one outside the stadium. To be honest, my opinion is take your headphones on, and get your butt off the bleacher and yell for OUR team.

I don't think we even have to beat mizzou to get into the polls, if we play a very close game to mizzou, within 7 point finish through out all 4 quarters and never fall behind or have a lead on them with them coming back, and we win against VTech we'll get in the polls. Not to mention you know that winning by 20 points or more against Vtech is going to put is atleast in the 22-25 range so that the mizzou game will draw more attention nationally....

Hopefully he can atleast be in good enough shape to make in impact during the Mizzou game, which would probably be the first possible game I could see him having play time.. if nothing else, I imagine he'll lend a hand in games against Ttech & kansas (both on the bubble winnable games IMO)

I showed up 2 hours before the game and was stuck in row 79 of the student section, it is just spiraling out of control worse and worse this year, to get decent seats I would have needed to be at the stadium at 8.. I mean I love the huskers, but I don't have time to tailgate or do anything else pregame now except sit outside memorial for 3-4 hours + the game, = 6 hours of standing in one day. Better wear my nikes.

How about we just bring back the Nebraska Option and leave it at that.

I watched both games, but I was just making a comment since last week the forum was alive with the Vtech is terribad threads, but realistically, I think Vtech is a better team than WVirginia's.. Atleast Vtech cost themselves the game, Wvirginia never had control of the game.

Totally agreed, south stadium section 12 here.. wasn't bad in my section (student section) but there were some baddies over to my left who didn't even get on their feet or make noise when the spartans had the ball on 6 yard line..

Was Vtech's game last week a true measure of their program or is East Carolina on the road for a Cinderella story this season? With their thumping of West Virginia, are the Hokies as bad as all the pundits are saying they are despite their close loss? East Carolina looks SHARP. Discuss.

Misty's downtown will have the best steaks, definitely order their namesake Prime Rib, before the game any bars close to the stadium will be packed / have a good atmosphere. I can't answer too many other questions than that.. hopefully another poster can. Hope you enjoy your stay in Husker Nation!

I'm almost certain if we are 4-0 headed into mizzou with a vtech win we will be 24-25 atleast. Given the other teams that moved up in the rankings and the guaranteed upsets that occur in college football.

Seeing as though I am a student at UNL I will correct a few former statements that are incorrect. The Athletic Director "TO" sent out an email just barely over a week before the game indicating to students to wear their black shirt for the game, and there were very very few current students who did not wear black. Those who wore red were primarily non current students who simply had purchased validated student tickets. I didn't see anyone come of my dorm not wearing black nor did I see any sororities / frats not forcing their members to wear black for the game. Was a failure on communication IMO since a fair number don't check their on campus email. On further note, some admin needs to bury this thread, enough about Blackouts. The one b******* for the year occurred, there will be no more.

I personally was very very disappointed with west's performance, he blew a lot of assignments, I was yelling about west half of the game to my gf with how pissed I was at times. He is a young buck, needs to get some experience // coaching before he will truly shine.

It was poor management as the cheer leaders were running down the sidelines with the big letters they hold up for the chant when the tunnel walk came on. The student husker power was interrupted though because it was occurring during the band's performance. Should see it this weekend though, anyone else notice how awesome the wave was this weekend?

Taken From ESPN: Doomed history no longer repeating itself at Missouri, Pat Forde, Aug 31 "ST. LOUIS -- The football world is officially and completely off its axis when the Missouri Tigers beat a ranked opponent and major rival by 10 points -- and are mad afterward. That's what happened here Saturday night. After America's most entertaining team outdazzled Illinois in a 52-42 track meet, coach Gary Pinkel went into his locker room and was greeted by widespread disappointment. "That upsets me a little bit," Pinkel said. "When you win, you enjoy it." Pinkel packs the perspective his young players lack. He remembers double-digit losses to Bowling Green and Troy and New Mexico. His first four years in Columbia, his record was 22-25 -- and that was pretty good compared to his predecessors. Missouri had just two winning seasons between 1984 and 2002. At Mizzou, enjoyment historically has been distributed with an eyedropper. But Missouri has won 13 of its past 15 games, and Sudden Entitlement Syndrome has afflicted much of the Show-Me State. After finishing 2007 in the top five and starting 2008 ranked sixth in the AP poll -- highest preseason ranking in school history -- the Tigers apparently now fancy themselves USC of the Midwest. From that warped new worldview, scoring the most points in school history against a ranked opponent elicits no giddiness. Hanging the most points on Illinois in its last 30 games -- three more than the Trojans scored in the Rose Bowl last January -- doesn't move the needle on the Joy-O-Meter. Watching your Heisman Trophy-candidate quarterback rack up 323 passing yards, 46 rushing yards and three passing touchdowns produces no overt fawning. Chase Daniel Illinois couldn't get a hold of Chase Daniel and Missouri's offense. "That just comes with the expectation level around here," QB Chase Daniel said. Those expectations made this the biggest season-opener in school history. And the current Tigers should know their history. Yo, guys: you're Missouri. Teams get five downs against you. Teams kick balls in the air and catch them for the winning touchdown against you. Your last conference championship was in 1969. So soak that up and celebrate for a minute. Of course, tempered enthusiasm is understandable for a couple of reasons: the Tigers nearly blew a 25-point second-half lead; they gave up 451 passing yards and five passing touchdowns to a quarterback who has never come close to producing numbers like that; and they lost crazy-fast receiver/return man Jeremy Maclin in the fourth quarter to a left ankle injury. That injury appeared especially grave when Maclin was carted to the locker room in tears midway through the final period. But X-rays were negative, and Maclin returned to the sideline with dry eyes, a pair of crutches and a bag of ice taped to the outside of the ankle. "I'm going to be all right," Maclin said. "I'm OK." Maclin's teammates went so far as to assert that he'll be on the practice field Tuesday, ready to go. That remains to be seen -- and truth be told, there is no reason to rush him back. Missouri's three September opponents are Southeast Missouri State, Nevada and Buffalo. Given what a lingering ankle sprain can do to a guy who relies heavily on speed and quickness, the prudent thing would be a patient rehab that has him 100 percent by the time the Tigers travel to Nebraska to open Big 12 play Oct. 4. And even with Maclin accumulating 234 all-purpose yards and returning a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown, it was clear Saturday how many other weapons Missouri possesses. In his first start, sophomore running back Derrick Washington ran for 130 yards and two touchdowns. Backup Jimmy Jackson added 46 yards on just five carries. Five Tigers besides Maclin caught passes -- including tight end Chase Coffman, a 255-pound stud who hurdled Illinois cornerback Dere Hicks on one eye-opening play. With this offense, it could be anybody's night. --Tommy Saunders It all revolves around Daniel, who has complete mastery of Missouri's no-huddle spread offense. When Daniel has the Tigers really stepping on it in their "Superfast Ball" offense, they're clicking off plays at an astonishing pace. Daniel said they want to be snapping the ball with 30 seconds on the play clock, which can result in eye-blink drives -- like when Mizzou squeezed off 10 plays in 2 minutes and 25 seconds late in the first half, covering 87 yards for a touchdown. "We need to do more of it," Daniel said. That pace is difficult for defenses to contend with. So are the variety of options at Daniel's disposal. "A lot of guys can make some plays," Pinkel said. "It's kind of fun to see it." Said receiver Tommy Saunders, whose two touchdown catches doubled his season output of '07: "With this offense, it could be anybody's night." Despite that, only a dimwit wouldn't do everything in his power to limit Maclin first and foremost. Which brings us to Illinois coach Ron Zook, who made the odd decision to repeatedly kicking the ball to Maclin. The sophomore left burn marks across the Edward Jones Dome turf on that kickoff return touchdown. From 1982 until last year, Missouri went a Buccaneers-ish 25 years without a kickoff return for a touchdown. Then Maclin put on a black-and-gold uniform, and now the Tigers have two kickoff TDs in their last five games. So that was just Zooker being Zooker by giving Maclin that chance to score. But coaching gaffe aside, Illinois has a pretty impressive team. Certainly more impressive and talented than the six FCS opponents who played Top 10 teams Saturday and were summarily pounded. There was much more to be learned from this game than from those seal clubbings. Jeremy Maclin Jeremy Maclin's 99-yard yard kickoff return gave Missouri the lead for good. "We didn't play some average team today," Pinkel said. "They're a real good football team." Illinois was good enough to expose the Missouri secondary, repeatedly getting receivers loose on deep routes. The Mizzou defense was billed as massively improved, but that looks a bit like false advertising today. What rings true at Mizzou is the ancient belief that if the Tigers can simply seal off their borders in recruiting, they should always be among the best teams in the Big 12. One of the most mysterious elements of Missouri's historic ineptitude has been the fact that it is the only FBS school in a state with major metropolitan anchors on the borders, Kansas City and St. Louis. Now we know what a roster laden with homeboys can do. Eight offensive starters are from Missouri, and every skill player who touched the ball besides Daniel and wideout Jared Perry are in-state products. You would think all those guys who grew up in Missouri would know their Tigers history. And if they know that bleak history, they're awfully happy to be 1-0 today."

anyone able to summarize what they had to say, I wanted to watch the segment but I got caught up with life and had to miss it.

well one thing about bo though, is he won't run the score on teams intentionally, I agree with you, our defense in the 2nd half was lack luster because the play calling for defense was stagnant. More about getting the new guys on defense play time to figure things out under the lights rather than stats or playing to be the most effective.

Much of the same from when you were last here, sea of red, great people, great football, great times. The stadium is a little updated, but Nebraska is still probably close to how you remember it.

you won't find any tickets for mizzouri below 130-140, your best bet is the baylor game, for that price. The best is probably ebay, or the ticket exchange forum, or an online ticket outlet.

You're right, the BlkOut being pushed by the Athletic department is completely asinine and stupid same with TO since he originally proposed it in the student ticket email sent out last March. I wish TO would grow up and starting thinking like the only real husker fans, (The Trolls on this board)

Well, I know we see b******* threads all the time, but how often are they blackouts sponsored by the university?

Although these threads get shut down immediately about the black outs etc, the university is sponsoring an official b******* this year for the first game. Taken Directly from the student ticket emails sent out this week to ticket holders on campus. "Countdown – Four Days until the Bo Pelini Era Kicks Off!
