Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield

That is crazy, but if Allegiant were determined to offer the flights for Omaha why wouldn't they expand in the Omaha market more? I don't know a ton about airlines in this regard, is it b/c Southwest is more established and they would worry that their new route wouldn't benefit as much? Unfortunatel...

That would be a great thing for that program. Fran has said that he is reluctant regarding NIL, and ...

They are going to have to market well based on the location though. 100% agree. It really isn't that far of a drive, but if they can market it to out of town visitor at places like the zoo or children's museum, that will greatly enhance their chances of succeeding. I do think that this place could ...

It is now official, Zeke Mayo from South Dakota St has entered the NBA draft and transfer portal. There had been rumors that he might strongly look at transferring to Creighton similar to what Baylor did 2 years ago.

Obviously Creighton isn't done playing but something to look for.

Ashworth hit a three with one second left before half Creighton is up 36–34, feels like Creighton should be up 10 to 15 points with all the rebounds they’ve had but they keep jacking threes and missing.

Not to mention that every single game is televised. Back in the Valley maybe 5-6 per year were on tv and usually ESPN, which really sucks anymore. The amount of money that CU gets just from tv deals makes it worth it financially, but exposure to the eastern US is amazing as well.

Re: Creighton Basketball 2023-2024

Oregon is playing well and could be dangerous but for once Kalk is going up against a big guy and that can’t shoot outside so he will be anchored in the post like CU likes. Should help our guards out some as well since they can guard the 3 closer and let players drive knowing Kalk is back there.
