Considering going to Orlando for Thanksgiving. It appears tickets have to be purchased ahead of time as there will be no "on site" ticket sales and you have to buy for all 6 sessions($135 or $165). Anyone have or know of other ticket options.  TIA

Please don’t let us lose to Oklahoma TWICE in one year…

The Gundy brothers went 1-7 vs. Nebraska, with the sole exception being the game with the cheap shot on Mickey Joseph that cut his calf muscle in two.

 

Bonus question - who sang the national anthem before that game?

Was it Anthony “Slick” Steels or am I thinking of another game…?

The conversation in this thread has taken a really weird turn.

Wonder what would happen if someone committed a late hit that blatant the destroyed a QB's leg today.

I highly doubt this event will approach being sold out.  That gives you three options

 

1. Buy tickets for all the sessions and try to sell the ones you aren't going to attend

2. Try to buy tickets from someone selling single session tickets

3. Eat the games that you might not make

 

I think you'll be successful with #2 but it just depends on how comfortable you are buying tickets off of Stubhub, etc

I had NO idea she ever appeared at Memorial Stadium, but I was working that day. Steels would’ve been in 1980 then…

That game was in Norman. They have hilariously tiny sideline areas, which makes any late hit out of bounds there exceedingly dangerous

The debacle in 1990 was in Norman. It was also Husker Bob’s last road game, we saw him the next morning and rolled down the window to talk to him. He said only “going to McDonalds!”.  Ten months later he died inside Memorial Stadium, which I assume was the place he always wanted to go.
