 Merchandise

Looking for a size we are out of at a watch partner? The hope is that merchandise (lightweight hoodie, ladies v-neck shirt, state shirt) will be replenished for the game on Halloween at all of the locations.  The board wants to thank you for your patience as we await delivery!



 
Volunteers Needed

Are you looking for a way to help provide scholarships to Colorado High School Students attending University of Nebraska? Will you please consider volunteering for a watch partner location?  We will be working to staff with volunteers specific locations first to ensure resources are used the best way possible.  

Please email Rich at [email protected] with your availability for games and locations.

 Changing Your Email?

If your email address changes, on the bottom of each of these eNews is a link to allow you to update your information.  This allows the update to happen more quickly and you can make sure that the information is in our email service correctly and you don't miss any updates or activities.



 
 Where to Watch Games When Traveling

There are chapters of the Nebraska Alumni Association throughout the world.  There's a good possibility there may be a chapter or spirit group near your destination away from home so you can enjoy the game at another Sea of Red. 

To find watch locations, vist the Nebraska Alumni Site and choose the region you will be traveling too.  Chapters always enjoy out of town guests! 


And if your travels take you to Cheyenne, WY, or if you live in Cheyenne, Old Chicago at 1734 Meadowland Drive (307-634-3400) would be happy to be your watch location.   
Half-Time Prizes and Volunteer Staffed Locations 

The game for Saturday, October 24, 2015 has a 10:00 AM kickoff and will be airing on ESPN2.  We've asked our partners to open an hour before game time but please check with your location as they may be opening at 9:30. Please join us at one of our watch partner locations, listed below, to enjoy the game with other Huskers.  Those locations that have an * (asterisk) by them are known to have volunteers present, as of this email, for this game and will have memberships for sale, Coloradans for Nebraska merchandise, and half-time drawings.  Those first five watch partners listed below that don't have an * (asterisk) may still have volunteers but have not been confirmed as of this email.
