Penn State game

Hi WA Huskers,
 
After a letdown at home against Northwestern, the Huskers travel to face the Penn State Nittany Lions (whose fans and community have had a tumultuous week, to say the least) this Saturday Nov 12 with a 9am Pacific kickoff on ESPN.  (details here)
 
The game is still on, and nobody really knows what to expect in terms of atmosphere. At any rate, as we think first and foremost about the well-being of those affected, let’s also hope for a focused effort and a hard-fought Husker victory against a team that will take the field without Joe Paterno for the first time in decades.
 
Please join us bright-and-early at one of our fabulous watch sites, to gather with your fellow Big Red fans…

This is our long-standing “Husker Headquarters” flagship watch site, located northeast of Seattle.
As with every week at the Lucky 7, we’ll have a great time and a terrific halftime raffle. Please get there early, and try to keep the family dining area available for families with children.

NORTHWEST HARVEST FOOD DRIVE – NOV 12
Your Washington Cornhuskers, along with the other Big Ten Conference alumni chapters in the Seattle area, will be sponsoring a food drive at all of the Big Ten chapter game watch locations on Saturday, November 12 (the day of the Nebraska vs Penn State game).  All food contributions will benefit Northwest Harvest and help feed the many homeless people and families in the Puget Sound area. There will be a competition among the Big Ten alumni chapters as to which school donates the most food for NW Harvest.  Please bring your non-perishable food donation to any of our watch site locations on the 12th – thanks for your support!
