Popular Post Mikeddfw Posted September 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2019 Just wanted to introduce myself to this board. I’m Michael and been following this board for 20 years. Decided to finally start an account to share one of the greatest moments of our lives. This past Saturday, I had my official grand opening at my sports bar in North Dallas. I decided to DM 2 former Husker football players to see if they can make it and watch the start of the season at my bar. Didn’t hear back until the night before our grand opening but got some great news, that they will come out to watch the game. To my surprise, him and his gf were the first to walk through our bar and I immediately introduced myself. I immediately seated them in the area I dedicated for Husker fans. Well the game wasn’t going exactly how we thought it should and by half time there was hardly any customers. I called up some Husker fans in the area to leave the other watch site and help me change the mood at my place. The former Husker player was really anxious and nervous at the same time, during the whole first half. I wanted to lighten/change his mood so I ordered us a round of shots and wings. After they were done eating, another round of shots. By this time, a group of Husker fans showed up and got to meet him. We barely payed attention to the 2nd half of the game and got to banter/get to know him better. After the game, we still had to wait about 45 more mins to find out some important news. If he got a phone call, that would of meant he did not make the cut. We knew he was the last borderline player to make the team. Long story short, no phone call was made and us fans got to share one of the greatest accomplishments in this young mans life. Almost teared up myself, knowing his career during his time as a Husker didn’t go as scripted, being hit with the injury bug and multiple coaching changes. I couldn’t ask for a better grand opening moment and hope this is a start of a friendship as well. Congratulations Luke Gifford on making the Dallas Cowboys and hope you have a long and successful career with dem boyz!!!! 15 2 Quote Link to comment

I’ve actually explored the idea with the former president or vice president of the North Texas Nebraskans chapter (seen in the last photo far left). He mentioned it might not be a family friendly enough, with the employees attire, being a breastarant and all. Still, I will push for it, since we have a better atmosphere and way better food. I am setting up a meeting with the chapter president to show her that the perceptions is not what it’s made out to be. Check out the photo of how it looks like. Yes, we do have the biggest bar you have ever seen! Edited September 2, 2019 by Mikeddfw Better photo Quote Link to comment

My local watch site in New Orleans is Tracy’s and we do not have a charter in Louisiana but they are listed as an official watch site. They are also a watch site for Wisconsin and Michigan Quote Link to comment

They are also a watch site for Wisconsin and Michigan I’m not quite sure but they have the pull on getting the following to come to the ones they choose. I was going to make it an official BIG bar and unofficial Husker watch site. We have quite a big OSU and MSU following up in North Dallas Quote Link to comment
