Want to say thanks, for the game day suggestions. (UCLA game).

I had posted , that I needed some help, and suggestions for my first game ever to see the huskers play in Lincoln. I absolutely loved it. I took a couple of suggestions, and a couple I kinda winged it. Turns out I wound up going to Misty's, on Havelock for the Friday band pep rally stuff. Was so awesome. I frickin loved it. Wound up going to cultiva coffee for brkfst in Saturday morning. Someone suggested to make some friends. Me and the wife did that. Had some good conversation, and hung out for a few. Wasn't able to make it to any tailgate stuff, BUT instead chose to go into the stadium early to take in all the pre game stuff, take pics, etc. After the game, we picked another suggested place, single barrel for one of their steaks. Was really, really good. I really liked Lincoln. We got in on Thursday so we took some night pics at the stadium. Had coffee at The Mill. Friday morning it was brkfst at Virginia's cafe. Neat place , good food. Went to the capitol...governors house. Just enjoyed all of it. Thanks a bunch y'all. I appreciate it.

Ps. I would have loved a win too, lol.

SIAP: Pyle driver

Dumb and dangerous and I in no way condone, but something to consider ...
Before the Mad Mothers succeeded in getting the threshold lowered, the magic line for DUI was .10, not .08. He tested nine one-thousanths of a millimeter over the old threshold. In my days as a prosecutor I would have automatically lowered his charge to Careless Driving, as the machine measuring BAC has a margin of error that his test would have fallen into. In other words, I could not have elicited sworn testimony that he was actually OVER the .10 requirement. He was right on the line, so likely not falling down shitfaced.

On the other hand ... Remember when the Brass Rail installed a BAC machine? The theory was that you could blow a sample to see if you were OK to drive. The reality was you'd spend the night pounding drinks to see how high you could test. It took a couple of hours to get above that .10 threshold, so he definitely had more than a few. Not good right before a game, but hardly shocking for a college kid.

Make him run stadium steps until he pukes and call it good. He'll get probation in county court
