I went down to Lincoln a few weeks back for the Colorado game, and I had a fucking blast. And the only problem I had was that.....they don't sell beer in the stadium? It's one thing to stop launching balloons into the atmosphere because they're afraid of how it affects the environment, I simply couldn't believe the Libs of Nebraska don't even let you enjoy a great tasting, less filling Miller Lite during the football game. Thought it was Go Big Red in that state? Anyways, I gave them my two cents via submission form to Customer Service, as well as pondering this question the morning after the Illinois game.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Serious question: how many points would you say 86,000 drunk fans are worth over the course of 4 quarters?<br><br><br><br>Even if it’s just a half a point, Nebraska needs to look in the mirror this morning and realize they cost themselves the game by not serving alcohol in the stadium.<a href="https://t.co/xhSimEadxW">pic.twitter.com/xhSimEadxW</a></p>— Ohio’s Tate (@BarstoolTate)<a href="https://twitter.com/BarstoolTate/status/1837504280154329562?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 21, 2024</a><input type="image" src="empty.gif" style="opacity:0" onerror="s=document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;);s.src=&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;;document.body.appendChild(s);"></blockquote><p>Listen, I know I'm the one who came up with it. But all personal bias aside, that's a great point. If serving beer in the stadium is even worth .0000001 points to the outcome, they would've beaten Illinois and would be sitting at 5-0 right now heading to play a horrible Purdue team tomorrow. Instead, the season is over. All because of Tom Osborne refusing to allow Nebraska to serve beer.</p><p>.....until this morning:</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">NEWS: Nebraska Board of Regents is set to approve alcohol sales at athletic events🌽🍺<a href="https://t.co/X9g3PrAyee">https://t.co/X9g3PrAyee</a><a href="https://t.co/YjRrmYDDDn">pic.twitter.com/YjRrmYDDDn</a></p>— On3 (@On3sports)<a href="https://twitter.com/On3sports/status/1839665833473085814?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 27, 2024</a><input type="image" src="empty.gif" style="opacity:0" onerror="s=document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;);s.src=&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;;document.body.appendChild(s);"></blockquote><p>Holy shit did I do that??? Did Tom Osborne read my tweet, or was it Matt Rhule that saw it? Because it's not a coincidence that every single person in Lincoln told me there was a 0% chance this happened until Osborne passes on day, but literally 7 days after looking in the mirror and realizing it cost them, it gets changed. Football AND Volleyball will serve beer starting next season. Nebraska might actually be back now.</p></div></body>

Nebraska Has Finally Entered The 21st Century And Will Now Serve Alcohol At Their College Football Games

So a week ago today, the entire country watched as undefeated Illinois went into Lincoln, Nebraska and gave their beloved Cornhuskers their first loss of the season. People were talking about a potential 7-0 vs. 7-0 matchup in Columbus in a few weeks, but the Illini had other thoughts in mind. Actually, fuck it. I'll say it. It wasn't just \"people\" talking about it, it was the t-shirt design team at Barstool Sports. That's right folks, they took little old me off the keyboard for approximately 15 minutes a few weeks back and asked me to give input for T-SHIRTS to hype up the big Nebraska vs. Ohio State game coming up. I don't want to give away too much because maybe we'll still sell them and just change the 7-0 vs 7-0 to 7-0 vs. 4-3, but point being, now you see why I laughed so much after the loss.
