We had to be there 2 1/2 hours before kickoff. We had a bit of time to explore before it got busy.
Pre-game
Here come the Huskers.
Games for kids and who-knows-what
Dedicated student fans
Our stand faced east and it was a beautiful, clear day (so I baked in the sun until it was high enough not to come in our windows or shine off the metal counter in our faces). Mike manned the pop-filling and I waited on people (and practiced adding in my head and concentrated really hard to give correct change).
Oh, that's right - we're here do a job
We were there from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. My choices for food (other than the 2 boxes of popcorn I had) were hamburger pizza, Runza®, or a hot dog. The hot dog was my fifth choice out of the three - which left two hamburger choices. I don't mind hamburger when I have control over the quality of it, but I tend to not care for hamburger choices outside of my (illusion) of control. I was very hungry! So, I had my first Runza®!
Go Big Red!
Tail gaiting
Time out
Hold 'em! (They didn't - see video below)
I didn't meant to, but I helped Southern Miss. In the first half I snuck out to watch a play, and we threw an interception. During the second half I went back and watched a series of plays and Southern Miss scored a touchdown (which I happened to capture on my phone).
It was fun. But, after 7 hours of being on our feet, we were ready to leave.
Where did we park?
Final score: Nebraska 36 / Southern Miss 28
$7,000 in sales in our stand and there are over 100 stands, not counting the specialty things like Colby Ridge Ice Cream. Crazy number of people.
