Nebraska Tailgate Party Gets Wild, Fans Throw Beer Cans at Police, Over a Dozen Arrested

Nebraska fans got a little extra rowdy before Saturday’s game against Miami. Police had to break up a crowd of about 3,000 people at the Indian Center, a popular tailgating spot, and between 13 and 17 people were arrested. A police officer was hospitalized after she was hit in the head with a full beer can. Via JournalStar:

"About 4 p.m., witnesses said, three Windstar buses with HereForBeer.com tried to make their way to a spot they’d reserved on the northwest side of the property. But the tailgaters who were already packed into that area didn’t like it. The crowd began throwing beer cans and bottles, many of which were full, at the buses, climbing on the buses, kicking them, denting them and ripping off the license plates. Witnesses said some in the crowd were chanting, “Flip the bus! Flip the bus!” “We were afraid to get off the bus,” said Mike Woodson, who came with his wife and kids and HereForBeer.com from Omaha."

That’s where it might get interesting. Another online party site, “I’M SCHMACKED,” was on campus filming a gratuitous party video which made the tailgate “a little crazier than most gamedays.” You won’t believe how cool throwing beers at strangers looks with some quick editing cuts and some house music in the background.
