What did you end up doing pregame for Nebraska?

We hit Lot 37, went to the team walk from the bus, want to BBW for a bit, and then the game. Had a great time.

The Minnesota East River Flats Chapter of Tailgaters (commonly known as MERFCOT) will be at the Manning Lot at 8:00am. We'll have a full tailgate setup (Minnesota tent, Blackstone, etc) with breakfast and lunch. Expecting 40-50, so swing on by! We'll have some extra food for both meals until gone (french toast breakfast, taco feed for lunch are the current plans). Cash is king, and BYOB!

We also have seven extra tickets available in our group, so if you have any extra people that don't have tickets, let me know! We are adjacent to the Gopher section. $55 OBO, with the tailgate!

It's been years since I've been to North Carolina, but the Chapel Hill campus is beautiful as is the Duke campus. If you're just bouncing around, they are worth a walk-through.

Great food down there as well.

A lot of maroon and gold at the airport today.

I'm going to the game this weekend and wondering if anyone knows the spots to hit. Restaurants, attractions, landmarks, bars, etc.

I haven't been to Chapel Hill many times, but He's Not Here (named for Michael Jordan) is fun and Top of the Hill has good food. Campus is beautiful.

I'm flying in late tomorrow, coming from WA though so no idea if I'll see any Maroon and Gold on the way out.

Any anthracite?

 

[CoachBrewMotivator]

Any anthracite?

Probably not, but black could be in the cards

Great news! I'm flying from Vegas to Houston, and then on to RDU. Don't expect too much maroon and gold on the first leg, but hoping to see some on the second. Go Gophers!

I have been in sw Durham since yesterday and really like NC, a good place to live.

My big trip to the Wilmington beaches is pushed out to Friday, with a Franklin st visit maybe 8 pm tomorrow.

I think the NC fans are slowly realizing they might get into a slugfest in 19 hours

A chance to meet Beavcoon in person? That's very tempting....

Nice meeting you folks! I was introduced to "Stepper" and she was was a gracious hostess. Wish that the game had been better. Go Gophers!
