Hey Husker Fans, Let’s not mope..let’s bounce back from that stinging loss we felt last week and trounce the Rutgers Scarlet Knights this Saturday at 12:30 p.m. AZ time. It’s our first Big Ten Conference game of the season! Our featured watch-site this week is Bleachers Sports Grill in Ahwatukee.
As always, if traveling to Bleachers Sports Grill doesn’t work for you, support your closest official HNA watch-site.
It’s your choice of two watch-sites for Huskers N Arizona’s “Game Day” for September 9th. Our newest watch-site is Connolly’s Grill at 2605 Carefree Highway,
along with our west location, Whiskey Rose, at the Westgate Entertainment District. Both have great food and lots of TV’s for your viewing pleasure.
As always, if neither of those work for you, support your closest official HNA watch-site..
Huskers N Arizona’s “Game Day” for September 2nd is at Max Sports Grille in Scottsdale. (Our “Game Day’ is when we feature specific watch-site(s) to encourage a really big turnout at the featured site(s) of the week. Duke Nguyen, the owner of Max is fired up for the first game of the season and plans some exciting give-aways!
“David Slattery, a fellow Husker who attended the HNA membership meeting is preparing to build a large hotel in the block just south of the Tap House. He has an outdoor parking lot with 32 parking slots and said we could use it for game days. I would like to offer it to HNA members as a perk at no cost for watching the game @ the Tap House. We will have signs posted on the lot entrances. It’s less than a block walk to the Tap House.”
Recently our club president, Roger Lindstrom* (owner of Moon Valley Grill) was contacted by members of a Huskers-oriented non-profit organization called “Nebraska Greats Foundation.” The are coming to Phoenix and one of their stops will be to have a Meet ‘n’ Greet with our members at Moon Valley Grill on September 6th at 5:30 p.m. Eric Crouch, Jerry Murtaugh, Bruce Mathison, and some other former players will be there to visit, sign autographs, take pictures and promote awareness of their foundation. “Nebraska Greats Foundation provides financial assistance to former Nebraska collegiate athletes who, as a result of a medical challenge, have exhausted both their insurance and personal resources.”
Our Board talked it over and felt their mission is a worthy one, and voted to award them a donation of $1000, which was presented to Bruce Mathison at our annual membership meeting Saturday, August 5. Now that’s Nebraska spirit!
*Maybe some of our younger members don’t know that Roger Lindstrom played wingback at UNL during 1983-1985
