For those of you who are fortunate enough to frequent Husker games, what is the best spot for tailgating. Four of us will be making the trip to lincoln this weekend and want a good spot to hang and enjoy the atmosphere before the game. Last year I attended the CU game and through the acquaintance of a friend were invited to the tailgating party underneath the bridge. It was a great time, but it seemed as though that was highly patrolled and tix were needed to get in. Is this true?

I was looking for a little insight from people more familiar with Lincoln than myself. My brother, cousin and I are going to the NU vs ISU game. The last two times we have stayed at the Marriott which is perfect but i dont feel like shelling out $211.85 for a room agian. I was looking and saw the Holiday Inn Express is decently close. Getting to the game and back to the hotel wont be a problem as we will be tailgating and have a vehicle but for that evening when we go downtown is there are bus system that can get you from the Holiday Inn to the bars and back? I know in Ames they have the Moonlight Express aka Drunk bus that is a service provided by Cy-ride that you can call and they will have different pick up points to get you where you want, but does Lincoln have anything similar? Any help would be appreciated.

I've stayed at the Holiday Inn downtown a few times now. It is not bad at all. I have a room booked for the FAU game and it ran me about $150/night, minimum 2 night stay. The walk to the stadium isn't bad and there are plenty of bars to stop and rest at along the way. The restaurant there also serves a breakfast which is really convenient.

Correct me if I am wrong, but weren't here some untrue facts in the article. NU was not down by 4, but by 1. If we were down by 4 then why was it such a big kick? It gave us the lead. There were not 8 minutes left in the game, but less than 2.

 

You are correct.

 

This is why, on most important issues, I don't form my opinion based on Daily Nebraskan articles. Perhaps they thought a field goal was worth more points from a long ways out... sorta like basketball.

 

The Daily Nebraskan, and I don't mean to offend anyone associated with it, is the worst newspaper in the Omaha/Lincoln area. I know it's a student paper, but the kids writing articles want to be journalists someday, and errors like the 4 points just can't happen.

I thought their statistics were a little funny. I thought I was right, I was there for one of the most exciting moments of my life.

It seems like it would be pretty easy to do some simple research on the situation. Husker Extra has some great statistics. I believe they even give a play by play timeline of every game.

Gotlieb did make it a big deal. I thought Cookie was going to get that block. Wouldn't that have been something to shut his pie hole up. He almost got there, was high enough, just a little late.

What a tough loss. Up 18 and blow it. I agree with everyone the shell we went into the second have killed us. We only scored 18 points in the second half and the announcers said there was an 11 minute fg drought. Then Cookie misses the front end of a 1 and 1. Harley threw the ball out of bounds with a couple minutes left. You can point at several key plays that cost us. But 18 points in a half, come on.

I was in the south stands about 90 rows up. Couldn't tell if the kick went through till I saw the fans on the opposite side explode. I still didn't believe it went in. I had to ask to make sure. Started acting like a crazy man. That's the loudest I have ever heard that stadium, and it continued until the end of the game. What a memory. In fact I just found the LJS this morning that I picked up the day after the game with Alex's picture on it. Best game I have been to.

Yea whats with the hate on Ganz. If you can do better ill buy you a plane ticket to jacksonville right now.

Some losers who hardly ever post here taking pot shots at Ganz when it is clear as day the O'line hasn't been giving him any protection

 

 

His last pick he took a step back and threw a strike right to that DB. Hasn't really passed well all game. But, it is a team effort out there. It's taking all of the offense chipping in and sucking as a team to lose this one for us.

Its not all ganz fault. There have been a couple of drops. But his completion percentage is under 50% with a pick six and a stupid pitch.

The play calling has been bad. You can't beat speed with slower speed. You need power. Castille has been running well the few times he has got the ball. Use the passing game to open up the run. Quit running the ball out of the shotgun. Put in the fullback and play some power football.

So far its been nobody...hopefully that will change.

I agree, it cost us 7 against OU and helu isn't the same since it happened today. We don't have the speed for that play against this team.

Hey, I know usually we post fun stuff around here...but just thought I would encourage you to explore refinancing your mortgage if you haven't checked it out in the past few days. I just locked at a 4.75% 30 year fixed rate with a credit against the closing costs that covered all of the lender fees plus a few hundred dollars of the third party fees like the title policy.

 

Rates are now around a 37 year low. You might be able reduce your monthly mortgage payment significantly.

The word I am getting from a mortgage company is wait until Jan 20 (Obama's turn). Rates will fall to 4.5%.

I agree with AR, Gill's value may never be higher. What I find amazing is that it only takes 1 successful year to demonstrate you are a great coach and get that next big gig or contract extension (Weiss). Yet consistency over a period of time and one bad year will get you fired (Solich, Tuberville).

Would Gill be a good fit at Auburn...maybe so. But if he loses 4-5 games he may not have a job either. I didn't think Gill was ready for the NU job last year, but his performance this year has changed my mind. That is a moot point...we have our coach.

ISU is a bad program. I don't belive Gill is after the money. It is rumored that they were going to throw the coin at him. What is the best he will ever do there - 7-5? Maybe it is best to sit tight at Buffalo and see what firings are made next year.

I was jumping up and down screaming my head off in the stands in the CU section. It was a great kick, and it was great to see the look on the CU fan's faces. I have never heard Memorial stadium louder.

I was right there with you (section 20, row 94 - even with the lower press boxes). The FG was at the other end of the stadium, and I hadn't been able to judge any of the previous ones at that end. But for that one, I saw the fans behind the posts at the north end erupt when the ball reached the top of its arc and knew we had made it. The whole stadium went completely bonkers and I never did see the refs signal. I was screaming and high fiving everybody I could reach. Greatest moment and most exciting game I have ever been to in person.

 

I have to say the CU fans we sat with were good sports the whole game and very funny. That kick absolutely gutted every one of them. But I felt too good to feel bad for them.

I was in the row in front of you Sect 20 row 93 seats 8-13. The CU fans weren't too bad, except for that annoying self proclaimed Indian.

Nebraska’s Joe Ganz was more or less relegated to the back seat on preseason lists of the Big 12 Conference’s 10 returning starting quarterbacks. But Ganz has more than proven he belongs up front, as have the Cornhuskers in recent weeks.

CU fans might remember him best for throwing three interceptions in last season’s bizarre 65-51 Buffs win, but Ganz was otherwise prolific. He passed for 484 yards (31-of-58) and four touchdowns, and ran for 37 yards and two more scores.

In Nebraska’s 56-28 rout of Kansas State last weekend, Ganz accounted for 365 yards in total offense – including a career-high 95 rushing yards – and four touchdowns (two rushing, two passing), winning the league’s offensive player-of-the-week award.

His 3,351 yards in total offense make him the Cornhuskers’ single-season record holder in that category.

“He’s played really well (and) been consistent all year,” first-year Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said.

Ganz is even getting some recognition in Colorado. Good to see. Hope he puts up big numbers against CU too.
