Questions From the Big Ten Network For Husker Fans

Maybe not the gameday bar recommendation most are looking for, but I would recommend staying an extra day after the game and heading over to the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha. It’s a good drive away, but it’s an all-day event and worth the money.

Though super plain, I like the PSU unis. It’s classic and screams defensive football.

Given the opportunity, I would love to be able to visit the horseshoe for an evening game. That Texas game looked awesome.

The Brass Rail! No but seriously, the sunken gardens is beautiful when in bloom. (There is a brick there dedicated to my mom.)

Nebraska has some iconic uniforms of its own — but which Big Ten team has the best uniform, and why?

I like the Hawkeyes uniforms. Simple but cool.

Ohio State would be cool to witness…. as would Penn St. Lots of history.

Try the best steak in town at Misty’s. And I agree about the Henry Doorly Zoo if you’re in Omaha.

I’d say it’s a toss-up between Michigan and Penn State. They’re both classic, have simple helmet designs, and look crisp.

Camp Randall. But the Big House, Columbus, and Happy Valley aren’t far behind.

Penn State, Call me a traditionalist

What Big Ten stadium/road trip are a majority of Nebraska fans most excited about visiting?

The Horseshoe, although, The Big House will be fun, as well as, Happy Valley. I also expect the post game partying to be exceptional in Ann Arbor, Iowa City, Columbus, and College Town.

I wanna see how much Red can get in a White out @ Penn St.
Or manybe start a new tradition @ Whisky since they do the all red thing as well maybe we go Black for the Blackshirts @ Camp Randall

I would say Misty’s for a steak and The Sidetrack on Friday night.

Penn State has a classic uniform. You also have to respect the Michigan helmet and the buckeye leafs on Ohio State’s helmet.

The Horseshoe #1, The Big House #2, Happy Valley #3, Camp Randal #4

not that we have great uni’s…because we don’t, but The Bank is a beatiful stadium…even if our team sucks right now. I wasn’t going to say anything so long as the big house, the shoe and happy valley were the stadiums mentioned…but had to say something once camp randall and kinnick came up.

#1-Eats For eats, I know alot will say Misty’s. Fine for steak/prime rib, but its not in downtown (where the stadium is) and there are probably a ton of steak places at Big Ten locals. I would say hit up a Runza place. Its a Nebraska chain based off of some German food. Its cheap, kinda greasy, uniquely Nebraskan (as a normal food item) and if you like cabbage and meat, it will hit the spot. Also, Lincoln has a ton a Greek food places downtown, good stuff too.

BUT, in the stadium, get the Wimmer’s hotdogs. They use so much red dye that it will stain your bun red. But hey, they are awesome.

#1-Drinks To go drunk crazy, Barry’s or Sidetracks. If you are a Cub’s fan, there is a Cubs themed bar on O street as well. Can’t remember the name. To have some decor, goto Barrymore’s. The bar is the backstage of the old Lincoln Opera house. Cool Venue.

1. Nebraskan preferences are inline with Girls Generation. So its the Hawkeyes

1. I hear that Camp Randall is bad ass. I hear that Penn State has good ice cream. I will go with Wisconsin.

Prime rib on Friday night at Misty’s when the band plays, followed by a trip to The Sidetrack.

It’s still Michigan for me – no one mistakes them for anybody else.

What Big Ten stadium/road trip are a majority of Nebraska fans most excited about visiting?
1. The Big House 2. Beaver Stadium 3. The Horseshoe. Since none of those are a reality for me, however (travel costs too much), I’m very much looking forward to Nebraska’s first game at Minnesota, as I hear their new stadium is really nice. No offense, Goldy, but if y’all don’t get better I fully expect Minneapolis to become the new Lawrence, KS for Nebraska fans – as in, “easy road trip, lots of tickets available.”

Must be a lot of Omaha homers here, because I don’t see the HDZ as a highlight of a football trip to Lincoln. My vote begins at Misty’s (yes, the Havelock location) on Friday night, followed by O Street. The bars on the night before a game are loaded with both home & away fans. Great way to get to know real Husker fans of all ages (above 21). Then on gameday, grab a slice of Val’s at the game, and a Runza on the way out of town. Btw, they’re not wimmer’s hotdogs, they are fairbury all beef franks!

I have always liked Michigan’s uni’s. Two of the three primary colors makes for a powerful match. Plus the wolverine antlers (is that what they’re called?) on the helmet are cool.

What Big Ten stadium/road trip are a majority of Nebraska fans most excited about visiting?
The Big House and the Horseshoe. Two of the largest collegiate stadiums, plus the marching bands (don’t forget the bands!).

If the Sidetrack is what it once was, that is a must stop for any out of town fan on Friday night. Barry’s is close to the stadium and a lot of fun on Saturday morning.

I have always like Ohio State’s uniforms. They are a unique look and a little flashier than most.

Without question the history and mystique surrounding the Big House and the Horseshoe make them must see places. However, my Hawkeye friends assure me that no place is crazier on game day than Camp Randall. My worry is that I don’t rebound like I once did and the after effects of a Saturday in Wisconsin my be difficult to overcome!

I’m 27, so I’m unlike most traditionalists.

1). Arturo’s Restaurant and Cantina is a must-have.

2). Illinois unis are awesome!

3). The Big House.

The Watering Hole- Get the grilled wings.
Cliff’s on O-Street- Order a shark water (or 3)
Sandy’s Order the Elk Creek Water
Lazlo’s Brewery and Grill in the Haymarket Under-rated burgers, very good beers, all the food is good, service excellent.
After the bars hit Lazzari’s Pizza on O Street. Get the spicy chicken, and look at the jersey’s on the wall.

Tastee In and Out and Valentino’s

Great places to get somthng to eat.

Iowa

What Big Ten stadium/road trip are a majority of Nebraska fans most excited about visiting?

The Horseshoe

Just to add to that….if you are gonna stop at the zoo in Omaha, make sure you dedicate an entire day. It’s not a casual “run through before lunch” type of place. Plus, you’d be wasting an opportunity if you didn’t see everything….which takes all day. Wonderful zoo.

Lincolnites, is King’s still open on Cornhusker Hwy? If so, that’s a fun little place to go. Think ’50s diner/drive-in stuff: cheese frenchies and the works. Great malts, too.

It’s really too bad Rock & Roll Runza couldn’t stay in business – that was another neat downtown dining experience.

When Big Ten fans make their first trip to Lincoln in 2011, what is the one place they must go to and one thing they must do?
-Non-food/drink: trophy rooms, etc. in the stadium, state capitol building (both for its outstanding design and for lewd photo opps), SAC museum (not in Lincoln, I know).
-Food: I know it’s kind of froofy, but the Green Gateau has a breakfast that is god-damned delicious.
-Drinks: Barrymore’s or Cliff’s (does Cliff’s still exist?).

-Penn State. No names, no logos, no stickers, no b.s.

-Kinnick Stadium. Hayden Fry was a weasel, but I look forward to Nebraska trading body blows with the Hawkeyes. Let the hate begin.

—The Haymarket District in downtown Lincoln (Brewsky’s, Barry’s, Old Chicago)
—Misty’s in Havelock . Awesome prime rib. Todd Blackledge raved about the place on ABC.

—In no particular order: Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan (for obvious reasons)

—The Huskers have been to Happy Valley and Iowa in recent years, but it’s been a long, long time since they’ve been to either The Big House or The Horseshoe.

 When Big Ten fans make their first trip to Lincoln in 2011, what is the one place they must go to and one thing they must do?

I agree with Misty’s they have one of the best prime ribs I’ve ever ate! Also as it has been said more than a few times now, the Henry Doorly Zoo is the best Zoo I’ve ever been too and is a must see while in Nebraska. I was born and rasied in Nebraska but am now active duty Army and don’t get to go back very often so when I do I make sure I go to those two places as well as Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shop because there is not one within 500 miles of where I am at.

I would have to say my favorite is Penn State just becasue they are plain and simple, they look old school. I also like Minnesotas uniforms, I dont really know why, I just do lol.

What Big Ten stadium/road trip are a majority of Nebraska fans most excited about visiting?

Well since im active duty Army like I said and im stationed in far west Texas I don’t even get to go to memorial stadium anymore but if I were to be able to make it to a big 10 stadium I would have to say Penn State. Once again I just love the history there. I would like to make it to the horseshoe sometime too just cuz that place is huge and crazy on game day and I despise Ohio State so I would LOVE to see my Huskers beat them down on their turf!
