    Proposed: 2014 Skybox reunion

    We all know what brought us together...college football.

    On Saturday Sept 20th, Nebraska hosts the Crimicanes of Miami....enough said. Whereas tickets would be close to impossible, tailgating is not. LOTS of tailgating options...also the Haymarket area has a pick of about 60 bars that would accomodate any and all of us. They also have an area next to the stadium that they show the game on a huge jumbotron on the track.

    Fly in Friday night...experience one of the best game day atmospheres in college football on Saturday....together as the Skybox Clan....

    What say everybody?....whoever wants to can crash at my house, plenty of room.....someone's gonna have to share a bed with one of my weiners....probably Bobda since he's used to them....

    Plenty of time to plan folks....

    At a bare minimum, Ralph can go through Alabama, pick Corey up, then head to lincoln....

    Think about it....

    Great idea AJ!
    Would love to be there, but I think I have a wedding that weekend.
    Why can't friends understand you get married in the spring and summer, NOT DURING CF season?!?!?!
    :x

    AJ, as much as I would love to do this, I just do not see it as possible for us.

    A wedding, ****. I'm suppose to be having a kid around then. Man up Scott. :)

    let me work the angles, I might have an idea here. It involves getting king and queen JOCO to pull a road trip. The baby is the bait. There may be a trip to the liquor store that turns into a 3 day adventure in the heartland.

    It's possible. I gotta work out the details. Honestly, the women won't even know we're gone if the baby is here then.

    Mary is retiring at the end of the year and that weekend is the annual meeting of her society. They have some special events to honor her and I'm supposed to be there. I'm out of the box.

    I understand Bill.

    As a Miami Grad, do you have any connection to road game tickets?...Just asking....planning for that day.....it will be almost impossible to get more than 2 seats for that game from my end....

    You don't have to, but if you do, then swing by one of the southern suburbs of Canada and pick Bobda up!!

    Bobda can't drive without his navigator to screw him up.

    AJ, I have never been to Lincoln, and that trip would appeal to me. Unfortunately. my wife's twin sister, who has lived with us for a number of years, had a disabling stroke in March of 2009.

    We are her care-givers, and we are not willing to leave her in the care of others, for even a few days.

    Maybe one of these days I will be able to meet in person with some of you Skyboxers.

    I just do 1 football trip in the fall and I'm not really inclined to make the trip to Neb my trip over going to Notre Dame.

    I'd really like to have a get together some time but I really don't see me making that particular trip. Maybe a Cardinals game in the summer?
