This season hasn’t been stellar for the Buffs — and the Cornhuskers haven’t exactly been tearing up the field in 2009, either.

It all adds up to a blowout bash for ticketless fans left out in the cold for the last Buffs home game of the year.

The party starts at 9:30 a.m., and the game will be televised on a fourteen-foot screen. But that’s not all you can watch while you snack and swig: This is also the final week of the Tecate Grill-Off Challenge, with open-air cooks vying for a trip to Mexico. The Harvest House is at 1345 28th Street in Boulder; game-day parking is $20. For more details, call 303-443-3850 or go to www.harvesthousesac.com.
