               (183 Anderson Mill Road Exit, Northbound Access Rd, in front of Main Event

Game Time:    8:00 PM
 
Date:     Saturday, September 27, 2014

Nebraska begins Big 10 play this weekend, hosting the University of Illinois to Memorial Stadium. The Fighting Ilini are 3-1 in 2014 with their lone loss to the Washington Huskies. The Huskers had a strong showing last week, coming back on the Miami Hurricanes and dominating in the fourth quarter. The Huskers running game is really clicking this year, ranked 7th nationally and averaging 329 yards per game.

We appreciate everyone who showed up at Third Base Northwest last weekend. We had a fine crowd cheering on the Huskers. This is another late game for Nebraska this Saturday, which seems to be the theme for this season.

It may not be too late to join a group out of the Dallas area chapter, the North Texas Nebraskans, who are planning a trip to Chicago for the October 18th Northwestern game in Evanston.  If you are interested, please contact Peter Marhoefer at peter.marhoefer@hilton.com.

We are looking for help at our Watch parties. We need fans willing to coordinate our activities at the South Park locations. It only takes a bit of effort during the Watch Party.  This includes Sign In, Raffle, Board Sign Up, and maybe Half Time announcements when required. We take care of everything else (sending newsletters, maintaining email list, etc.). It is a great way to meet your fellow fans and get in a bit of practice at addressing a crowd. Your help would really be appreciated and you will have the thanks of your fellow fans. Up North we can use help to fill in for core members who may be traveling on some weekends. We all have busy lives in addition to our loyalty to the Husker Nation.

Next week's game (October 4) is at 7:00 pm as the Huskers play at #9 Michigan State. The following week is a bye week for Nebraska. We had hoped to have our annual picnic that weekend, but schedules of some core members will not allow. We plan to reschedule this for sometime next spring while the weather is still very pleasant.

Husker logo'ed Texas License plates are available for purchase at MyPlates.com. A portion of the proceeds go to support our chapter.

To those of you who have paid your dues for 2014/1015 year, thanks. They are now due and are just $20 for the whole family for the year ($15 if your are an Nebraska Alumni Association member).  This really helps us continue to host the watch parties and provide assistance to local students attending the University of Nebraska through our scholarship program. Pay at the watch party, by mail or at  "www.cotn.me" via PayPal.

We accept Cash, Checks, or Credit Cards for Husker merchandise, raffle tickets, and other payments at our Watch Parties.

Come on out and support the Huskers this weekend. Third Base's great staff will see that our Nebraska fans are well taken care of. Thank you for your continuing support.

The Husker pre-season is over. The meat of the schedule begins this Saturday. Miami comes into the game at 2-1 losing to Louisville in their season opener. The Huskers, explosive last weekend, will need to have a good game in Memorial Stadium to stay unbeaten before beginning the Big 10 part of the schedule next week.

Thanks to everyone who showed up at our cancelled Watch Party at Third Base Northwest last weekend. Nice show of support for your Huskers.

HUSKER WATCH PARTIES CANCELLED! #Huskers #GBR #COTNgbr



I apologize for the late notice. Third Base South Park informed me that because they were showing the boxing match tonight, they would have a problem seating our fans and may not have video screens available for the game. They also indicated that they would be charging a cover due to the fight coverage.

I met with the manager at Third Base NW. He indicated that he could accommodate our group as planned but said crowding would be extra heavy due to the weather. The original plan was to place the fight fans outside with a projection screen. With the current wet weather, the outside parking lot area may not work.  We are also competing with Texas and Texas A&M games in the same time slot.

For both these reasons, I felt it was important to notify everyone as soon as I knew the situation, so you can adjust your plans. Locally, the game is being shown on CBS Sports Network. This is a cable network, so the coverage may not be available to all.  CBS Sports Network Channels available:

  AT&T Uverse   643,  1643(HD)
  Time Warner  315
  Direct TV       221
  Dish Network 158

You can likely catch the game on a screen at Third Base NW. Husker fans will not be charged a cover. No guarantees at Third Base South Park.

Again, I apologize for the late message. I don't want our fans to be disappointed if viewing conditions become very difficult. We will hold watch parties next week for the 7 pm game versus the University of Miami.

Thanks,      Wayne

We have a reserved area but it could be crowded. Please share tables if you have space available.

Hopefully the Huskers have learned from last weekend's close call. We can't count on Ameer Abdulah for last minute heroics every week. We lost a few positions in the polls this week due to the close call. Nebraska is currently a 10 point favorite.

Huskers Vs McNeese State Watch Parties - #Huskers #GBR #COTNgbr

Huskers Vs McNeese State Watch Parties

Where:
North:
Third Base Northwest, 13301 US 183, Bldg E, Austin, TX 78750
(183 Anderson Mill Road Exit, Northbound Access Rd, in front of Main Event


South:
Third Base South Park Meadows, 9600 S IH 35, Austin, TX 78748
(IH 35 Slaughter Lane Exit, Southbound Access Rd)

Game Time:    11:00 AM

Date:     Saturday, September 6, 2014

We plan to have our halftime raffle, the "Board", and Big Red merchandise available for sale.

The Nebraska season looked on solid footing during last week's game vs Florida Atlantic. The offense looked versatile, while the defense was quick to the ball giving up only one touchdown. Jordan Westerkamp once again provided an ESPN Highlight moment with his behind the back reception.  Injuries were minimal. Randy Gregory likely won't play this weekend, but could be available if needed. There currently is no line on the game.

We had great turnouts at both locations last weekend. Great enthusiasm up North and our best turnout ever down south (69 Husker Faithful). As we are really just cranking up the support down south, we could use some additional volunteers. We are bringing material in from Nebraska for the South location that may not be available this weekend. We will have the football pool for this game.

Please sign in at the parties so we can get your email address correct. You can always sign up or correct an email address by sending an email to cotn@me.com.

You can get your Husker logo'ed Texas License plates at MyPlates.com. A portion of the proceeds go to support our chapter.

Speaking of support please pay your dues for 2014/1015. They are just $20 for the whole family for the year ($15 if your are an Nebraska Alumni Association member).  This really helps us continue to host the watch parties and assist in our ability to provide scholarship money to the University of Nebraska. The scholarship money goes to deserving students from our area attending the University of Nebraska. You can also pay your dues via PayPal at "www.cotn.me".

This year we are running the "Squares" board at $2 per square. This allows winners to get a bigger payout.

We accept Cash, Check, or Credit Cards at our Watch Parties for your various purchases to make it easier to grab that great Husker merchandise, pay your dues or enter our halftime raffle.

A group out of the Dallas area chapter, the North Texas Nebraskans, are planning a trip to Chicago for the Northwestern game in Evanston.  If you are interested, please contact Peter Marhoefer at peter.marhoefer@hilton.com.

Next week's game vs Fresno State is a very late start, 9:30 pm.

Come on out and start your weekend with some great fun and cheer on the Huskers with your fellow fans. Third Base has a great food menu and always runs drink specials with the best service in town.
