In most cases, KC will get people where they want to go, at least domestically, and I'm sure plenty of central Nebraska movers/shakers would like flights into Omaha.

Once upon a time, highly ranked Nebraska was beaten by an average Colorado team, 62-36. Shortly after, they were clobbered by Miami 37-14 in the Rose Bowl. While there is little in common between that team and this one, there may be one thing: both hadn't been tested by a strong opponent. Go Big Red!
