Quick Notes on Nebraska Tailgate

Those of us that made the Michigan trip had an awesome time notwithstanding our team's 4th-straight beating, and I'm sure you'll see some posts here in the near future recounting the expedition.
'15 Huskers certainly not
Tom Osborne vintage

In the meantime, please note that Chris and I will NOT take part in the pregame tailgate as we normally would, since we're coaching our boys' first CYO basketball game, which starts at 1:30 p.m. in Marlboro.  We'll meet y'all inside the stadium, hopefully by kickoff.

Some of you know my friend and Rutgers alum Andrew Kagan (Tom certainly will from the WRSU days), who would like to join the group for the pregame tailgate along with a few friends, including a Nebraska gal
who evidently plans on bringing wings, a tray of food and cupcakes, so whomever is organizing this week's shindig please update the group here.

I've directed Andrew to stay tuned here for details.

  1. I am looking for one extra ticket for this weekend, if someone has an extra.

  2. What is the consensus on a tailgate for Saturday? Weather is supposed to be fairly cold and windy, plus we already know Bill and Chris won't be there. Does anyone want to bring a grill so we can at least cook burgers and dogs? Or perhaps everyone just brings subs or other cold items for themselves and then we do an abbreviated tailgate. Or another alternative would be to just meet somewhere for lunch before the game and ditch the tailgate altogether.

  3. Basil/Scott: A few of us talked we'll bring the grill and grill stuff and BURGERS and DOGS. We can also bring a table and some chairs. We need a count for the number of people going and then we'll get the grill food and buns and burger toppings.

    TIME NOTE: Do to the cooler weather lets meet up 12:45 and plan to be on the way in to the black lot. 2.5+ hours should be fine. 3:30 is kick off.

    Who has the old box with the plates, gas, forks, and what not? (the one I usually bring)
    Who has the new box with the plates, forks, and what not?

  4. There will be 3 of us - me, Julie and her friend Julianna. I will bring Miller Lite, and also Elote (Mexican grilled corn) which will be pre-grilled so will just require some re-heating.
