Hopefully it's not a bunch of Nubs crowding into The Buff for breakfast that weekend.

What Color To Wear at the Nebraska Game

Someone on here said: "That's an alley"
That sucks, dude. I'm really sorry. I stayed at the Harvest House for the UCLA game in 2016 and was stunned at how bad it had become.
Back in the day, the Millennium Harvest House, the Broker Inn, and the Hotel Boulderado were the 3 best places to stay for games. Only the Hotel Boulderado remains as a place where you don't feel like you need a tetanus shot after staying there.
Classic case of resting on your laurels and doing exactly zero to keep your maintenance & decor updated.
It terms of hotels, I ended up out in Interlocken for all games but one this fall because the prices were so crazy. When I went to book Friday night for the NU game after the 10am kickoff was announced, most everything was $500+/night. I ended up at the Towneplace Suites in Interlocken and then have to check out and throw my stuff in the car before heading up to the game in an Uber. You can still get a room there for $206 for Friday night. Hey - at least I'll be banking more Marriott points for the stay.
I'd guess that shopping for orange and maroon clothing presents a challenge unless you go straight to a VT gear site.
Or live in The Netherlands.
I‘m sure it was very, very hot, but 115 degrees at 100% humidity equals a heat index of 327 degrees. A human could not survive that.
At just 32 Celsius (about 90 Fahrenheit), you are in the extreme danger zone with 100% humidity.
All settled. Looks like their national reservations dont connect with their local reservations.
i agree, The Harvest House has gone down hill. I am only staying there because I need to be within walking distance of campus for the kids.
Don't try to lure kids into your hotel room, weirdo

I’m a huge fan of the Netherlands speed skaters in the Olympics, unless the US folks have a chance. Must be tons of Orange stuff to buy over there…BTW, cool fishing pics Ken.
I'll request some support from @CUAviator on this one.I‘m sure it was very, very hot, but 115 degrees at 100% humidity equals a heat index of 327 degrees. A human could not survive that.
At just 32 Celsius (about 90 Fahrenheit), you are in the extreme danger zone with 100% humidity.
Temperature: Our outside air temperature gauge in my airframe went up to 50 (Celsius). It was regularly above 45, and sometimes pegged at 50.
Remember, we're not only in the Gulf, we're on the black tarmac of the flight deck, which is considerably warmer than the outside air temperature.
Even in the hangar (out of the direct sun) the aircraft was often too hot to pre-flight without gloves.
Humidity: Part of our pre-flight brief is the meteorological report (so we can determine density altitude). Dew points were regularly at 95 degrees (Fahrenheit, obviously), and because the temperatures were above the dew point, moisture was released on the form of dense fog, which I believe only happens at 100% humidity (the air can no longer hold the moisture because it's saturated at its temperature.

why do you use science to dispute other people's facts?I‘m sure it was very, very hot, but 115 degrees at 100% humidity equals a heat index of 327 degrees. A human could not survive that.

I usually end up at the Omni At Interlocken. But the last time was 2008.
That’s facts. When I was an LSO waiting for the recovery, during the launch we used to stand in Tomcat exhaust to cool off. Hornet cans were too high and wouldn’t blow on your body; their exhaust would basically just mess up your hair.
The soles of my boots melted on the flight deck (which are supposed to handle 250 deg F in case you’re in a cockpit fire) and it was like stepping on the proverbial banana peel.
Black flight deck, 30 plane engines turning, zero wind, 100% humidity. Man, I don’t know science, but 327 degrees seems about right.

From Wikipedia:
And here is Bahrain (where the Navy spends a lot of time), specifically:
The average annual humidity in Bahrain is 73%. https://weather-and-climate.com/average-monthly-Humidity-perc,Bahrain,Bahrain
I would share that it's more humid over the water than it is on the coast, and again, the flight deck is hotter than the ambient air temperature.
But...just using a relatively mild 45 degrees C and average (but probably low when compared to over water) 73 percent humidity, we're looking at a heat index of 220. I get that it's not 327, but my estimates are conservative. Unless you have experienced it, it's difficult to fully appreciate.
If you want to help the fusker fans you would need to buy it in 5 gallons drums.
Total facts!! That **** is no joke…especially when the air conditioning breaks and the metal on the inside of the ship burns you.

HEY! That's my square building I designed in architecture class that I got a C on because it lacked "style and substance."
Stupid architecture profs. Wouldn't know practicality if it hit them between the eyes.
