My 1st game at Memorial Stadium Thread!

This post is long as it’s as much for me to recall the days events as to let everyone know how it went. Here is a recap of our day.

We’re staying with one of my cousins and we had breakfast together. We then met another cousin and my brother at 11:00 AM at the Walmart in Hastings. We got into my cousin’s car and drove to Lincoln. Once we got off on “O” St. we stopped at the Big Red Restaurant and Sports Bar for lunch and a beer.

We then proceeded to park near the Haymarket and walk over to a Tailgate where my cousin knew the people. We only hung there for a short time as we had already eaten and didn’t want to drink more at that time.

We then proceeded to walk over a large bridge to Pinnacle Bank Arena and the Haymarket. We proceeded to Longwell’s and watched some of the volleyball game. Once we had watched the end of the 2nd set we walked over to the stadium.

We walked around the stadium over to the new Osborne Legacy Complex and waited (approx. 30 minutes) for the band and players to arrive. After the players walked by we walked around the stadium again to the front area near our gate. We waited again until they opened the gates and proceed inside. We rented the seat backs and found our seats. (Section 22, row 17, seats 1 - 4)

We now went and purchased some Runzas and some drinks. We ate and then waited until the game started. (approx. 60 minutes)

The game was a great experience and the sound was near deafening when we were on defense. It’s a good thing we don’t make as much noise while on offense as I would not have a voice today.

All in all it was a great experience and I’ll never forget.

Thanks for reading.

Recruiting Quick note on a Nebraska commit making a weekend visit elsewhere

2025 Murray (Kent.) three-star athlete Jeremiah Jones was back at Nebraska for the Colorado game last weekend, which was important considering Missouri's pushing hard for a flip. Jones visited Missouri this past weekend for their win over Boston College and has plans to return later this season when the Tigers host Auburn.

Nebraska would like to hold on, but the Tigers are making it a real battle. Mizzou likes him at TE while Nebraska has him tagged as an athlete that can play either side of the ball. That might end up making a difference, as the latest we'd heard is the three-star likes the idea of getting developed at a few different positions and figure out what his best fit at the college level is.

Northern Iowa Coach

Meant to post this Sunday morning, as we’re all on to Illinois, but his post-game press conference was slightly weird. Was convinced that if they didn’t have the penalties they did they could have won the game. They ran the ball well but our depth and over all talent was far superior than UNI’s obviously. Didn’t sound disrespectful or anything as much as he sounded delusional. Was asked about Raiola and basically said he wasn’t bad but “our running back that was catching the ball out of the backfield hurt them the most.” Talked about 3-4 plays that could have gone differently including DR avoiding the sack and hitting Neyor for the deep ball.

Probably a sign of a winning program, but wasn’t an ounce of humility in that press conference. Watching the presser you would assume it was a 7 point game. Oh well.
