Mazzy's: Headquarters of Husker Nation
The first year at Mazzy's was without a doubt a huge success. The community at Mazzy's is very friendly and welcoming to all guests. From the time the game starts to when the clock hits zero, these fans show great emotion during the game and create a great atmosphere.
Raffle items will be available to raise money for the scholarship funds. Georgians for Nebraska will be run by a committee this year, and we are proud to announce that there are still positions available to head up this great organization. If you want to volunteer to help in any way, please contact Athene Tenney atathene.tenney@comcast.net, Jackie Maggi at JackieMaggi@bellsouth.net, or Patty Prester at psprester@bellsouth.net. We look forward to join with all Huskers from the Atlanta each and every week!

Just in case you weren't aware, Nebraska Football's first game will kick off @ 8:00ET Sep 1st at home against Akron. Come on down to Mazzy's (2217 Roswell Rd NE Marietta, GA 30062) and support Scott Frost and your football team. Make sure to arrive early, as seating fills very quickly :) And as always... GBR!!! Spring Game Update:Hey Husker fans! As you may already know, the spring football game will take place April 21st @ 12 PM ET. However, make sure you get here early, as doors will open @ 11:30 AM. Since the Alabama spring game starts at the same time, you will want to come early for seating.
As for additional news, not only will there be great raffles, but there will also be a contest to determine what our official slogan will be. Once all of you vote on a slogan, it will be put on a magnetized decal. It's about 5.50" in diameter and it sure would look nice on your car (or refrigerator)! Can't wait to see all of you at Mazzy's for the spring game, and as always... GBR!!! Spring Game @ Mazzy's!:
Hey Husker fans! If you're interested in viewing this year's spring football game, come on down to Mazzy's on Roswell Road. Doors open 11:30 AM April 21st. There's something special about this spring game, especially since Memorial Stadium will be completely full, the first time ever for a spring game.
While Husker fans have been suffering for nearly 20 years, the appearance of Scott Frost as the head coach of Nebraska has most of the Nebraska fan-base relieved, hoping that the former UCF coach can bring his home-town Huskers back to national relevancy. While this won't be a quick re-build, perhaps in the coming years we could have a taste of the experiences that we once had in old days. While we're hoping for our home-town hero to find success, we're just glad to have him on our team. Can't wait to see all of you at Mazzy's for the spring game, and as always... GO BIG RED!!! Nebrasketball Reaches 4th Seed in Big Ten Tournament:
Hey Husker fans! The Big Ten Tournament starts this Wednesday, with the first game (Illinois vs. Iowa) at 5:30 ET. Since our Huskers clinched the 4th seed, we have earned a double-game bye and will play this Friday at 2:25 ET. The winner of the Michigan- Illinois/Iowa will play us. Most likely Michigan will play us Friday. If the Huskers could get a win over 5th seed Michigan, according to several sources, Nebrasketball could be looking at an NCAA Tournament bid. If the Huskers win Friday, they will go on to play in the semi-finals the day after at 2 ET. If the Huskers happen to make it to the championship, they will play this Sunday at 4:30 ET. Wish the Huskers best of luck in their Tournament(s) and as always...
GBR!!! 
Big Ten Basketball Tournament:
Calling all husker fans! It is confirmed that on March 2nd, the Hudson Grille on Sandy Springs will be hosting a Big Ten Tournament watch site! We will have games on the big screens in the main room with sound. They are promoting our event on yelp. As for drink and food specials, they are TBD. Here is a schedule for the games on March 2nd:
12:00 PM: #1 seed vs. #8/ #9 seed 2:30 PM: #4 seed vs. #5/ #12/ #13 seed 6:30 PM: #2 seed vs. #7/ #10 seed 9:00 PM: #3 seed vs. #6/ #11/ #14 seed Location: Hudson Grille Sandy Springs 6317 Roswell Road Sandy Springs, GA 30328 Now you're probably wondering where Nebraska stands in terms of its place in the tournament. As of right now, the Huskers are the #4 seed in the Big Ten Conference. However, Michigan (#5 seed) is currently tied with us in the standings, even though we have the tie-breaker. Both Nebraska and Michigan have 2 more regular season games. To put it simply, Michigan cannot win more than Nebraska in the final stretch of the regular season if the Huskers wish to keep the #4 seed. It's important to stay in the top 4 seeds because those teams are awarded a 2 game bye in the tournament. Should Nebraska drop to a 5th seed, they would have only a 1 game bye. The Huskers play at home against Indiana today 9:00 PM ET. It's a must win scenario if the Huskers want a more realistic chance at the NCAA Tournament. Following, the Huskers will then play this Sunday at home against Penn State 6:15 PM ET in a very important regular season finale. All games in the tournament will be on BTN, with the exception of the Championship which is TBD. Wish the Huskers best of luck in the tournament, and as always, GBR!!!

We would simply love to see you Sunday at 1PM, game over at 2:30PM Admission is just $5 for Adults to the national championship game. We would love to show all our fans back home on WEB Stream TV, THE RED SEA Of Husker Fans. The Address to the rugby field is Marietta GA, Life University 1269 Barclay Circle SE We promise to MAKE YOU PROUD of your Nebraska Pride Cheers Coach Barner NEBRASKA @ PURDUE GAME MOVED!Yes, it has been moved from Marietta Mazzy’s to the Kennesaw Mazzy’s due to a scheduling problem. Once every season, Mazzy’s in Marietta hosts a fight night. No problem if we have a day game, but if we have a night game, then it is a problem.
This year, we have had a multitude of night games and this Saturday is no exception! Sooo..we will use Mazzy’s in Kennesaw and it is very nice and new. The address is 3940 Cherokee St. NW, Kennesaw, 30141. Phone number is 770-693-9918. Game time is 7:30pm, but come and eat with us. Please come out and join us. This is a make or break game for the Huskers (and possibly for Mike Riley); it is the second half of our season and we need to win at least 3 games to be bowl-eligible. Come cheer loud and strong for our Huskers! And as always……………… GO BIG RED! HUSKERS HAVE BYE WEEKNo game this Saturday, October 21, 2017. We will resume play against Purdue on Saturday, October 28 at 7:30pm. Plan on attending the game and cheering the boys on to multiple victories in the second half of the season.
Wisconsin WoesYes, Wisconsin was the cause of our woes last Saturday night. The Huskers hung with them for 2 ½ quarters, but superior size and talent won out. Give credit to the Badgers; they have a very, very good team.
However…we cannot give up on our Huskers. Most fans knew this was a rebuilding year and that is what it has proven to be so far. Hopefully, the boys will continue to make progress and next year will be better. Since Coach Osborne retired, they have had four head coaches and a transition from the Big 12 to the B1G 10. We need some stability in the program and the athletic department. Whatever changes are made, let’s hope they are made with wise, long lasting choices and an eye to the future. We are NEBRASKA!! We had a sparse turnout for the Wisconsin game. Thanks to Shannon Best and the Lautenschlager family for helping out with the many things that happen during a Husker game. Plan to come to the Ohio State-Nebraska game this Saturday. We need to support the Huskers as the boys are giving 110%, but are we? Hope to see you Saturday in scarlet and cream; game starts at 7:30pm, but come early and have a tasty dinner at Mazzy’s. And, as always…. GO BIG RED!! Wisconsin @ NebraskaBLACK-OUT THE BADGERS!
Hey Huskers! This is the week we find out if the team is for real or at least improving by quite a bit. We play Wisconsin at 8pm on Saturday October 7, 2017. Nebraska has designated this “Black-Out” day, so the stadium should look very dark indeed. If you have a black shirt of any kind, plan to wear it to Mazzy’s on Saturday evening. We are also going to have some awesome raffle prizes. Big games deserve big prizes, right? Come see what a raffle ticket could win! Last year we almost beat the Badgers and no one was expecting it; perhaps karma will be in our favor this year and we will really confound the experts! The team showed a lot of improvement against Illinois; hopefully, we will show even more against Wisconsin. The big concern seems to be Wisky’s fine defense and the fact that Tanner Lee is not the most mobile of quarterbacks. (Roller skates anyone?) See you at Mazzy’s on Saturday. As usual, come early for a good seat and… GO BIG RED! FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTSA REMINDER THAT THE GAME THIS WEEK IS ON FRIDAY NIGHT, AT 8PM, WITH ILLINOIS THE HOME TEAM. COME ON OUT TO MAZZY’S AND SUPPORT THE HUSKERS!
It was nice to have a W last week; Illinois will probably be a tougher foe, but if our defense can start in the first quarter, instead of the third, we have a good chance for another W. And…..if we can stop throwing interceptions! What do you think about the AD situation? Will Trev Alberts be named AD? Lots to talk about. Come early and we will have a gab fest!! See you there! GO BIG RED! 
Oregon Road Trip
When the schedule came out a few years back announcing the Huskers home and away series with Oregon, we knew we would make the trip. At that point, Jeff had been to 49 of 50 states, and the only one he was missing…Oregon. So we put it on our calendar and off we went.
We flew in to Portland on Thursday and spent the night there. With the wildfires in the area and thick smoke in the air early in the week we weren’t even sure that the game would be played. On Thursday it was a little smoky, but the worst was gone thanks to a rain storm the day before and some favorable winds. We stayed in downtown Portland and saw lots of red (and maroon and gold, too, since the Gophers were playing at Oregon State). We were up early on Friday for a little walk around downtown and the riverfront, but we were anxious to get on the road to Eugene, a two-hour drive. The Alumni Association hosted a Football Friday at Rock Bottom Brewery in Portland that night, but we’d made our plans before the weekend schedule came out, so we stayed in Eugene on Friday night. After the drive through very heavy traffic nearly the entire way, we could only imagine what the traffic would be like on game day (and it’s the same route to Corvallis, where they also had a home game). It was still a little hazy, so we couldn’t see much of the mountains, and it was unseasonably warm for Oregon. We stayed at the Hilton right in the middle of Eugene and it was full of both Huskers and Ducks. It’s always strange to be the “visitors” but the people in Oregon were, without exception, very nice and friendly. We took off on foot to find someplace to have a drink, and within a block encountered a guy coming out of a print shop. He told us that he was born and raised in Eugene, and his son was a dental student at Creighton and he came to the game in Lincoln last year and had a great time. We asked him for a recommendation for a good bar and he gave us directions…then said, “I’m going that way anyway, do you want a ride?” So we hopped in his Suburban and he dropped us off. After a couple of drinks and a snack, we walked down the block to another of his recommendations, Steelhead Brewery, where we met a guy from Kimball who lives in Oregon and was getting good natured grief from a table full of his Duck loving friends. Good craft beer, Oregon Pinot Noir and melt in your mouth trout were consumed, and by the time we left the place was full of both Husker and Duck fans. Since there were some good football games on that someone didn’t want to miss, we passed on revisiting our former party animal selves and retired to our room. Game day was beautiful and sunny and we mingled with Huskers and Ducks in the super-secret Hilton Honors room for breakfast. Everyone was friendly, hoping for a good game and figured that whoever had the ball last would probably win given the defensive woes on both sides. A couple of people asked us what people thought about Mike Riley and agreed he’s a heck of a nice guy. We walked to the stadium on a beautiful trail through the woods and attended the Husker Huddle that was held at the baseball field next door. On our way to the stadium, a 20something Duck fan was handing out beers to people passing by, didn’t matter if you were in red or green and yellow. We made our way to our seats in the end zone and the crowd was mixed, with most of us still commiserating about our lack of defense. The stadium was mostly yellow with some big patches of red, as you could probably see on TV. The stadium was full by kickoff, with only one section of students trickling in during the first quarter. We’ve seen the Ramblin’ Wreck, the Sooner Schooner, Ralphie the Buffalo and Uga…and now we’ve seen a Duck on a Harley bringing the team out on to the field. For a small stadium, it was LOUD! Between the first and second quarters, the crowd sings “Coming Home” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K3w7CKkeOQ and between the third and fourth, they get crazy and everybody dances to “Shout” from Animal House (the movie was filmed on the U of O campus) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtFw3tADh3c. The game didn’t end the way we wanted, but it was a great experience on a beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest. The people were probably the most like Nebraska fans than any place we’ve ever been. When we were leaving the hotel, an elevator full of fans told us “if you’d had five more minutes, we would’ve been in trouble” and “boy, that could’ve gone either way.” People on the street told us “Welcome to Eugene” and “Thanks for coming.” It was a great weekend (with one minor blip, the game) and hopefully someday the Ducks will be on our schedule again. It will be worth a return visit. OUCH!What can you say when you are down 42-14 at halftime? As ex-Coach Gerry DiNardo (LSU & Vanderbilt) said on the B1G Ten Network, it is either the scheme or the players. Happily, the defense was adjusted and rallied in the second half. They held the Oregon Ducks to zero points after halftime and the offense scored 21 points to make the final score a more palatable 42-35 (Oregon winning). Still, the Huskers cannot continue to be a third and fourth quarter team; they dig a hole for themselves that is just too hard to climb out from. Hopefully, the defense has turned the corner and the offense will limit their turnovers; this team can be very good. You might like to read the weekly Carriker Chronicles on HuskerMax each week. Adam Carriker was a star player for Nebraska and offers some good insight.
The crowd at Mazzy’s was once again great. We had a lot of visitors from other states, some of which came to Atlanta to get away from Hurricane Irma. No matter what state a Husker comes from, you can always count on enthusiasm and good sportsmanship. The game next Saturday, September 16th, is at 12noon and we play Northern Illinois. The Huskies of Northern Illinois are in the MAC (Mid-American Conference) and are Division 1. Their starting QB, Ryan Graham, is out for several weeks with a sprained right elbow, but is ably replaced by backup Daniel Santacaterino. Mazzy’s opens at 11:00am, so come early for a good seat. Hope to see all of you there!! GO BIG RED! Don’t forget the Braves game on the 24th of September. The Atlanta Big Ten Alumni is sponsoring it and is always a fun time. For more info, go to Braves@BigTenAtlanta.org. You can purchase tickets at http://2017BigTenBraves.eventbrite.com . Also, the Big Ten Golf outing is on October 2nd. This is a great time for all alumni and friends. Get up a group and plan to play. All information will be coming under separate cover within the week. FIRST GAME WIN!A win is a win over a surprising Arkansas State team. We were warned they were good and they lived up to their billing. However, the Huskers prevailed and the best team won. A lot will be learned watching tape this week…
The turnout at Mazzy’s was fantastic! We had about 140 folks show up and they were all enthusiastic about their Huskers. Our volunteers were wonderful; they helped out in all areas and we count on them this coming Saturday. The specials in both food and drink were awesome and I am sure there will be more drink specials this week. Note: they have Dorothy Lynch Salad Dressing on hand, so you can order it with any of your salads. This Saturday we play Oregon on their home field. Last year it was a really close game at Memorial Stadium; we are going to need you Husker fans to show up and cheer them on to victory this week. Mazzy’s is the best place, other than Memorial Stadium, to watch our Huskers play football, so plan to spend Saturday afternoon with us. Game time is 4:30pm, but come early for good seating. GO BIG RED!! The B1G Ten Braves Game is Sunday, September 24th at 1:35pm. The Board has purchased limited tickets, so be sure to purchase them quickly.

If you can’t be in Memorial Stadium, Mazzy’s is the next best place to watch Husker Football, GO BIG RED!! COUNTDOWN:OK!, 9 days, but who’s counting? What will this year look like for the Huskers? I turned to a very loyal (rabid?) and knowledgeable fan who has been dissecting the Big Red games for over 50 years and here is his analysis:
Nebraska football in 2017 is the great unknown. HC Mike Riley will finally be able to implement his brand of offense in the pro-attack (equal portions run/pass) and implement his style of defense that DC Diaco will use with a combination 3-4 and 4-3, planning to play each style during the game depending upon the situation. Quick pass routes down field, screens, and dump off to RB can be expected mixed in with a pro-style power run game. The big question is the OL offensively and if they can stay healthy; however, the OL is nine players deep this year, so rotation can be expected. The second question is WR experience. With the loss of K. Johnson, (expected to return in January), McQuitty (ACL) and Miles (broken hand), the ranks are somewhat thin. There are quality backups, but these losses hurt. Early projections have Nebraska with a 7-5 record, but we are all hoping for better. The Huskers play 3 of the top 10 preseason picks and a total of 5 preseason picks in the top 30. Nebraska fields eight returning offensive starters and seven returning defensive starters, assuming that CB Jones is out for the year. The Arkansas State Red Wolves are a fundamentally sound football team, going to six straight bowls and winning the Sun Belt Conference 5 of the last 6 years. And they did this with four different coaching staffs! Do not under estimate this teams ability to play ball! Their QB yards per completion rate last year was 21st in the nation and he is back again this year. However, their running attack was anemic. The Red Wolves will field one of the best DL in the nation, regardless of conference, ( last year they were 8th nationally in sacks and 2nd nationally in tackles for a loss). You beat the Red Wolves by stopping their run game and forcing them to pass and play catch up. Defensively the Red Wolves are fairly sound overall; however, if a weak slot does exist, it is in the secondary. The Red Wolves are generally considered the favorite to win the Sun Belt Conference in 2017, returning five offensive starters and six defensive starters. GOOD TIMES! On a different note, you can always look forward to fun times at Mazzy’s. We will have some Husker drink specials and possibly a favorite Nebraska addition to a salad. Chris, Mazzy’s manager, is busy working on these items and will make our kickoff game special for all of us. We will tell you all about them next week. Next week, a listing of all volunteers and officers for GA4NE will be published also. We still need a few key positions filled, so please think about stepping up! And as always……GO BIG RED!! 2017 Kickoff Game:HELLO HUSKERS!
What a great turnout for the organizational/volunteers meeting on Sunday! The enthusiasm was wonderful, as were the suggestions. This year is going to be an awesome year for GA4NE, if that meeting is an indication of things to come. Once again, we are not going to charge dues this year; however, donations are always welcome! As you know, the proceeds from the raffles and the Big Board go to our scholarship fund and this year a young man from the Atlanta area will be receiving our support. More information will come in the future about this aspiring baseball player. September 2nd at 8:00pm is the magic hour for the start of the 2017 season! Come early to snag a seat; the first game of the season is always extremely well attended. Mazzy's is going to have some drink and food specials, and they never disappoint. Wear your red, get ready for some Husker music and catch up with your football buddies; it is HuskerTime! Check out our new Webpage. Aaron and Austin Lautenschlager are in charge and they are doing some exciting things. We now have a podcast called Corn-on-the-Cobcast and it is not only catchy, it is full of information. More innovative, good things are coming! See you on Saturday, September 2nd…..GO BIG RED! 2017: A NEW SEASONIt's only a matter of time before Husker fans across the nation will have the opportunity to watch their team. Some aspects of their schedule are certainly new. Dreams at a national championship have been met by a grueling schedule for the Huskers, even harder than last year. Can Coach Riley lead the Huskers to glory and shock the world of college football? Only time will tell. Here is next year's schedule:
