This bar is tucked up next to the scenic Presidio. You should be able to find street parking near by. It's owned by a Nebraska native. You'll find lots of friendly faces there. Just eat before the game. They don't offer food except for frozen pizza.
RE: Beckett’s Public House•Sep 2nd, 2011
A classy joint with good bar food. There aren't a lot of good places to stand during the game, so get there early to find a table. It'll fill up.

A nice, newer bar in a nice Chicago neighborhood. They have good bar food and plenty of TVs. It gets packed on game days though, so plan to be there at least an hour before game time or be prepared to stand.

I'm having a little trouble getting excited as well. But once game time rolls around I'll be right there, in front of my TV. The weather is going to be another wild card in this game. The game day forecast calls for storms and high winds. Time to break out that …more »

RE: Weather Forecast for Nebraska vs Missouri•Oct 3rd, 2008
Looks like the TGIF happy hour started early this week. For the record, I screwed up the headline and put Colorado instead of Missou. I'm not sure what that says about my subconscious, but I'll discuss it with my alter-ego.
RE: The Big Picture: Nebraska vs Virginia Tech•Oct 3rd, 2008
Thanks Jon. I forgot to point out that you guys also have some good sideline photos at Corn Nation. Can't get enough of those photos!
RE: Huskers, Fans Should Not Concede Defeat•Oct 2nd, 2008
Steve, to your point, the home team has won in each of the last six meetings. So it appears home field counts for something. Let's hope it's enough.
RE: Game Day Pocket Guide for Missouri•Oct 1st, 2008
You are correct sir. Someone should call NU SID and let them know too, because they got it wrong in their game notes. (That's where I got my info.) My apologies. I made the correction. Good catch!
RE: Join us for a Virginia Tech pregame party•Sep 26th, 2008
OU, in fact we already donate 5% of our t-shirt proceeds to NU. But, you guys are going to have to step up and buy some more shirts if we're going to put a dent in those contract buy-outs. :) Thanks BNA. We'll throw one back for you.

RE: The Big Picture: Nebraska vs. Western Michigan Photos•Sep 5th, 2008
Good question Jeremy. No. 58 for WMU is their backup right guard on their o-line, so either they're both on special teams or Suh was just propping himself up at #58's expense. :) I guess I just got so excited to see what might be a real-live pancake after all these …more »
RE: Nebraska Big Plays Put Broncos Away•Sep 3rd, 2008

Nice data Tom. I'm a sucker for a good graph. OU7Times, don't expect the trend of non-conference cupcakes to end until strength of schedule is a meaningful component of the BCS.
RE: Nebraska Defeats Western Michigan, 47-24•Aug 31st, 2008

RE: Reality Check or Coach Speak?•Aug 27th, 2008
I agree Cal4Huskers. I listened to yesterday's press conference and Bo came across as a straight talker. One "journalist" asked him why he was wearing a blue shirt. Bo said, "I don't know. It's just a press conference. Didn't think it was a big deal."
RE: Reality Check or Coach Speak?•Aug 26th, 2008
OU7Times, I would guess that virtually every bar in downtown Lincoln will have the game on. Try Barry's near the stadium or Brewsky's in the Haymarket.
RE: Reality Check or Coach Speak?•Aug 26th, 2008
It is also interesting that Bo hasn't handed out Black Shirts yet. I think he's sending a message to the players about the importance of the Black Shirt tradition. It's not a right, but a privilege. And when he does give them out, they'll mean that much more. Should we start …more »
RE: Win a Major Award•Aug 19th, 2008

You're right Ty. NU has had more than their fair share of strong kickers. Look no further than ten year NFL veteran Kris Brown and Josh Brown, whose $14 million contract just made him the second highest paid kicker in the league.

RE: Dontrayevous Robinson Picks Nebraska•May 20th, 2008
For what it's worth, the Journal Star addressed recruiting for "concerned parties." "Husker head coach Bo Pelini has said he’s not interested in star rankings, just getting good football players.

RE: 2008 College Football Spring Game Attendance•Apr 29th, 2008
What's more absurd is that you had 29,000 people show up for a lacrosse game before the spring game. Were they giving away free hot dogs or something?
RE: 2008 College Football Spring Game Attendance•Apr 29th, 2008
Actually, Michigan doesn't have an official spring game for some reason. So, I guess 5500 people just jumped over the fence last year or something. :) Maybe a Michigan fan will jump in here and let us know what's up.
RE: 2008 College Football Spring Game Attendance•Apr 29th, 2008

Sorry that vulgar comment got through folks. That's the down side of allowing comments to post in real time. Sometimes garbage gets through our filters.
RE: Game Day Pocket Guide for Oklahoma State•Oct 12th, 2007
Whoa! You're absolutely right Chuck. I made the mistake of using the official game notes from the NU Sports Information Director. Looks like someone missed it over there too. :) I have made the necessary corrections. Thank you very much for pointing it out!

RE: A Husker Fan's Sunday Morning Thought Process•Oct 9th, 2007
Anyone notice the "Humor" label applied to this post? I don't disagree that the Huskers are bad this year. I was merely trying (apparently unsuccessfully) to make light of the knee jerk "FIRE [INSERT NAME]!" comments I have heard after the last four games. There will be plenty of time for …more »

RE: Add the 2007 Husker Football Schedule to your Calendar•Jul 19th, 2007
You're right Maury. I just updated the instructions and added a button to dynamically subscribe to the Husker schedule. If you use Google Calendar, your calendar will be automatically updated when future game times are announced. Not sure why I didn't do that to begin with. :)
RE: Add the 2007 Husker Football Schedule to your Calendar•Jul 19th, 2007
Hi Maury, Thanks! I'm glad you find this useful. The calendar is *not* dynamic, so unfortunately game times will not dynamically appear in your Outlook or iCal calendar.

RE: Oklahoma's Summer "Vacation"•Jul 12th, 2007
Do you think they "went easy on them" because it was a self reported violation? Also, Husker Mike makes a good point. This ruling should also "vacate" Callahan's gesture from the record. So, we don't have to bring that up ever again! :) Thanks NCAA!
RE: Corey Young’s Departure Hard to Gauge•Jun 19th, 2007
Don't take it so personally Allen. I don't think it is any secret that ISU has struggled recently on the recruiting front. But you've got a new coach now and reason to be optimistic. Why don't you go read Steve's review of ISU's recruiting class (which I think was quite balanced) …more »
RE: Quarterback Most Important Player•Jun 11th, 2007
I agree that success or failure for the Huskers this year hinges largely on how Keller performs. That's why I was encouraged to read that he's taking summer practice seriously.
