Last night was the First Annual Lincoln Berean Tailgate party. Bob Rice organized the whole thing. He brought in a helicopter from the National Guard, the Big Red Helicopter that flies around the stadium at games, 'Lil Red, Herbie Husker, NU Cheerleaders, football players, coaches, 3 different bands, an illusionist, a clown, tons of food, and a whole children's area with bouncy castles and slides. It was just amazing. Bryan played the gut-bucket in the Bluegrass Band. They were awesome and a huge hit. It is so funny to see people's reactions when they realize that it is Bryan up there in the cowboy hat.
Someone did some good artwork for this sign that they had up.
Ate some supper with Bobbi and Lindsey Adams. Then we enjoyed the music.
Saw Barry and the kids in the food line so I hung out with them while Bryan was busy being a star and helping with the other events of the night.
There were so many people there. It started at 5 and Bryan told me that by 6:10 they had gone through 1000 hamburgers. They also had brats and hotdogs so that is a lot of food. The lines stayed long for most of the night. At about 8 the players came to sign autographs. I think that there were 12 players there. The only ones that I knew were Roy Helu, Eric Hagg, Prince Amukamara and Will Henry and that is only because they are friends of Bobbi's. While I was talking to Roy, he signed his player card to me. It made me laugh. They are funny boys.
Bob Rice gets a ton of credit for all the work and energy he put into this huge event. I would say that about 5000 or so people were there through out the evening.
It was a very good night.
