Go Big Red

Drinking at football games seems like a trend for most. Most of the time people go to sports games simply for the drinking, even if they have no idea who is playing. Except for NCAA/college games. For example, Nebraska football games. People go tailgating outside of the games in parking lots, but no alcohol allowed in the stadium. Which is weird, because more than likely a person going to a game is already 10 sheets to the wind by the time the game starts, so basically, the game itself is just a ticket to being "cut off." I agree that alcohol should not be served at Husker football games because we all know how crazy they are already. People and Nebraska football are like anyone from Texas and the state alone. I remember one year listening to the radio about 4 or 5 different people calling in and complaining about weddings on Nebraska Husker Saturdays! Really? No one in Nebraska can get married from Sept. until Dec. because the Huskers play? Or are they just suppose to be sure if they do get married in these months it is between Sunday and Friday? Ridiculous.
Anyway, back to the drinking. April 23 marked the day when those privileged die-hard Husker fans that get to sit in the sky boxes can no longer drink in the boxes. According to an article in the Omaha World Herald, there was a case last season of alcohol poisoning, so Tom Osborne announced yesterday, that those in the boxes could no longer drink and officials would be more strict.
Thank you Tom Osborne. I mean really, these people have the cake and get to eat it too? They get the best seats in the house and get to drink while watching. More than likely half of them are too intoxicated to know what is going on anyway, so they may as well sit in the nose bleed sections, but hey, this is what money can do for you.
Go Big Red!
