11/25 Game Day is Friday at Clancy’s Pub in Scottsdale at 1:30 p.m. AZ Time

Huskers "N" Arizona

The #17 Huskers face another Big Ten West rival this Friday against the Iowa Hawkeyes in Iowa City at 1:30 p.m. AZ time at Clancy’s Pub in Scottsdale. On 11/12, Iowa upset No. 3 Michigan 14-13!

Clancy’s is a Midwest-oriented,  neighborhood sports bar, grill & pizza place.  The original Clancy’s Pub was established in Omaha in 1977. Clancy’s Scottsdale has been one of our core watch-sites since our club was launched.  Sometimes they make our beloved Nebraska Runza sandwiches, so ask if you love Runzas. While it gets pretty crowded on game days, they recently added 50+ more seats by opening Clancy’s Jack Room right next door.

11/19 Game Day is at Moon Valley Grill at 10:00 a.m. AZ Time

Huskers "N" Arizona

The #18 Huskers ended their two-game skid by defeating Minnesota 25-17 last week – Yay!   Now it’s on to a Big Ten opponent they’ve never played before. “Despite nearly 250 years of combined football history, Saturday’s matchup marks the first meeting in history between Maryland and Nebraska. It will also mark the first Maryland football game ever played in the state of Nebraska.” (from NCAA website).
Moon Valley Grill has been one of our core watch-sites since our club was launched. The owner, Roger Lindstrom, is from Oakland, NE and played WR at UNL ’83-’85. No wonder Husker Football is near and dear to his heart!

Get to Moon Valley Grill a little early to get a good parking place and your favorite seat or table. Go Big Red….

Come watch the Huskers, fresh off their win over the Oregon Ducks, tackle the Northwestern Wildcats in our first Big Ten conference game at 4:30 p.m. AZ time. The Wildcats won ltheir last game vs. Duke 24 to 13.

We went to Desert Rose on the 10th and found it to be a spacious, attractive and accommodating place to watch the game.  Desert Rose Pizza and GastroPub is in historic downtown Glendale, and opened in January as the reincarnation of the former Glendale Iron Works . (According to Wikipedia, the term “gastropub” was coined in 1991, when David Eyre and Mike Belben took over The Eagle pub in Clerkenwell, London. Traditionally, British pubs were drinking establishments and little emphasis was placed on the serving of food. There are at least 3 distinct venues at this address: 1)Desert Rose Steakhouse with live music on Saturday nights; 2)Desert Rose Pizza and Gastropub, and 3)Desert Rose cigar Lounge. Below are some pictures from the 10th.
