To attend the Purdue / Nebraska football game (2:30 Central ABC/ESPN2) on Saturday.
Son is going to have 11 fans in attendance, as this is the closest they come to Texas this year. And its Nebraska. Love 'em, hate 'em, this is the big time college football that son signed up for...
And I (wife, Gma & BIL) get to watch from the luxury suite of one of our vendors, who is based in Lincoln. I met the CEO at a users group last year; and he graciously invited me to watch the game with him on Purdue's next visit to Lincoln. I took him up on it; and had no idea it would be a suite. Will probably be first and last time. That is ok...
Anyway; it looks to be an exciting trip. We have warned the vendor that we are wearing Purdue colors; and wife will wear one of son's jerseys. Boiler Up!!!!

Hope y'all do well.

He is currently in a rotation at right OT; started the first five games at LT. He started last week at RT. When he rotates; he has been playing more snaps...
He has also played center this year; a first for him. And he backs up both guards.
They call him versatile....
And he is number 66.

I happened to be somewhere where the game was on last time you told us and saw him on TV for the last few minutes of the game.

Well, that was fun, even though we lost. Our defense played well; the Nebraska defense had answers for all of our options, so our offense wasn't very good. Our special teams were absolutely horrid; we had two punts blocked and one run back into the red zone...
Son played in a rotation; two series out; two series in. He played well, gave up only one hurry, no sacks. I have some pictures, but am having a devil of a time figuring out how to get them posted here.
The suite was fantastic!!! And we were invited back again in two years!
The Nebraska fans we met were so nice. I think it is because their program has been so good for so long. Personally, I wish they were annoyed because they got beat by Purdue....
