[Husker] Alternative ways to see the Nebraska football games

[Steven]

Man...this entire thread is crazy and out of control.  I was a TV 
producer for 23 years and managed a Cox system that did live 
news/sports, etc.  I have been a vice president of a large bank (over 
725 branches) for the last 8 years...don't ask me how...but I have only 
grown my media and communication addictions.  I have full blown 
cable/internet and home phone.
  I also have 5 kids still at home...3 I-pods...2 net books...2 PC's...1 
laptop...all internet connected.  My two teenage girls have cell phones 
with unlimited talk/text/web...My wife and I both have smart phones with 
unlimited everything...  I also live in Okla-where????  So I installed 
Direct TV in my bedroom for Husker games.  I also travel back and forth 
455 miles each way to Omaha to see my  oldest daughter and grand-kids 
and attend 3-4 Husker games live... This year, Washington, Michigan 
State and Iowa.
I love Husker football... I had tickets since I was 10 (1970)  then 
season tickets from 1985-2008. I have attended 183 of the 311 
sell-outs...plus nearly 80 away games and bowl games.  I also attend 
Husker baseball/volleyball and basketball games.

I guess we all have our price...and my wife never questions my Husker 
addiction....

GO BIG RED!!!!!!
