New Coloradans for Nebraska Web site coming

We are in the process of creating a new look for the Coloradans for Nebraska web site.  With this new look, we will be able to post information for each site in one place under different categories.  To see what the new site will look like as we are building it out, please visit www.Co4NU.com

Have ideas or suggestions for the new site?  Let us know.

We will be rolling out the site with more details at Meet the Recruits currently planned for February 19, 2011.  We hope to see you at the Park Meadows Fox and Hound in Lone Tree on February 19th as we learn about the new football recruits for Nebraska and meet some of the past Nebraska football players.  We will post more information here as well as it becomes available.

Holiday Bowl 2010

The weather of Colorado is now acting like the weather people expect with the snow coming down.  The Fox and Hound will be welcoming Husker fans to watch the Holiday Bowl tonight even though the watch site will not be manned. 

We will be cheering on our Huskers at home because of the weather.  When the weather is nice, it is an hour drive for the Frenzel family to Colorado Springs.  When the weather is like this, we would be looking at 3 hours one way.  Being a watch site coordinator for 4 years (2 at Park Meadows and 2 in Colorado Springs) this is the first time we’ve missed a watch party because of the weather. 

We are looking forward to seeing you on February 12th at the Park Meadows Fox and Hound in Lone Tree for the “Meet the Recruits” party where you will have the opportunity to learn about the recruits for Nebraska, what the 2011 / 2012 season will look like, and meet some past Husker players.

Safe travels to all of our Husker Friends!  Go Big Red!  And Happy New Year!

Happenings for December 6th Colorado Springs Watch Site

First, I would like to thank everyone for helping at the watch site on the 26th while Jeff and I were in Lincoln working the Coloradans for Nebraska tailgate there.  It was greatly appreciated!  I’ll have information up next week from the tailgate as well as from the watch site.

This week the Colorado Springs Fox and Hound will have the Coloradans for Nebraska members in the main room only.  Please be ready for making new friends with the sharing of tables on Saturday night.  What a great time to make new friends as the Nebrasak Huskers play their last game of the Big 12 against OU.  Kickoff for the Big 12 Championship Game is 6:00 Mtn time. 

I came back from Lincoln with different prizes for our drawings (shirts and a sweatshirt), so please make sure you come to watch Nebraska Husker Football and enter into the drawings.  Extra tickets will be given out to those that donate a new, unwrapped toy to the Coloradans for Nebraska Toys for Tots drive.

See you on Saturday, November 6, 2010, for the 6:00 Mtn time kickoff of the Big 12 Championship game while we cheer on our Nebraska Husker Football team.
