Odd that they aren't doing the Banquet this year, was well attended last year.

I was hoping for the banquet as well. Really enjoyed the night out with the wife. Oddly enough we went as a kid free date night. Haha

The banquet used to be used as a fundraiser and really doesn't raise much money for them. Also, the Home Run Club used to put on the banquet every year and the HRC has basically been absorbed into the Husker Athletic Fund and really doesn't exist anymore, at least how we used to know it.

Does anyone know if they are doing the auction this year? Always enjoyed that too.
