Friday Night Open Thread

It's the Friday Night before the big game! 

BYU plays Utah State on ESPN at 7:00 pm

Probably not that interesting of a game, but only a few weeks ago we were all starving for college football. Hopefully by now I'll be in Madison, having a few brewskies with opposing fans as well as our own. 

Any final thoughts on the game before tomorrow, and you see College Gameday at Madison?

Meeting in Madison?

On a post a few days ago you said CN would be putting together a guide for fans making the trip to madison. I havent seen much other than members randomly saying they are going. I’ve seen a couple watch parties on huskerpedia but I’d be interested in meeting some people from the site. Anything coming?

Huskers (VB)

in a battle at Michigan State. Tied 2 sets each as we start the fifth.

They're 18 to 22...how perfect were you at that age?

Hiyas Red

how’s life? Did you see me wave Monday morning when I drove through Grand Island? I tried to honk the horn, but hubby wouldn’t let me.

Hey Jade!

I would have missed you Monday, but we were in GI thursday.

How’s life?

Good

had a nice vacation, trying to get caught up on football, I only got to watch 3/4 of one game last week. Only had a 3 day work week. :)

Glad

the vaca went went well. I know it had been a while since your last one.

I am absolutely psyched for tomorrow night’s game…already finding it hard to breathe, and it’s way too soon for that.

I asked hubby to get me

 a couple bottles of wine so I will be nice a mellow for the game. We may have company and I don’t want to be the “crazy Nebraskan”

So will you be joining

the rest of us, or will you have to play perfect hostess? : )

And, I hope they’re football fans.

They knew the rules when they were invited.

I’m going to watch the game you can do what ever you want. Don’t touch my alcohol, my TV, or my computer. And if you get too loud I will banish you to the basement. They aren’t college football fans.

Was hoping

our fearless leader or some of the CN members who are in Madison would report in tonight.

But, oh no, they’re all selfishly drinking themselves stupid tonight, forgetting about we who are left behind.

Ingrates, all of them.
