A fun time was had ringing in the New Year in Jacksonville for the Konica Minolta Gator Bowl as Nebraska took on Clemson. Our events New Years Eve began at The Jacksonville Landing for a Nebraska pep rally and ended at the Wild Wings in Southside. It was not pretty.









Pregame was great as we partied with Lil Red prior to getting settled in for the game. Lincoln's Nebraska Dave was ready for game action, complete with his own head gear.











The Blackshirts kept the 'Huskers in it early as The Big Red made some critical errors. Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh owned the line of scrimmage. The Blackshirts were horrible in 2007, but under the Pelini brothers they were real strong down the stretch, including in the Gator Bowl, where they limited Clemson to 4 yards rushing.

Behind the strong running of Quentin Castille, the 'Huskers claimed the lead and held on to defeat Clemson 26-21. Quarterback Joe Ganz, pictured below directing the attack in the red zone early in the quarter 4, shook off a poor first half and lead Nebraska to victory.

Nebraska finished 9-4, faring much better than most thought. Congratulations to the 'Huskers and what a great job Coach Pelini and staff did this year. The future looks bright. Go Big Red!
