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.

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!
