Re: No Nebraska State

As some others in this discussion have skirted, "State" universities are largely land grant universities. As per the Morrill Act (of 1862?) land grant universities are dedicated to the instruction of agriculture and engineering. The fact is that the University of Nebraska (it's original ti...

Re: UNO Soccer 2015

UNO finished their pre-Conference schedule with a 5-1 record, their lone loss at Big East Marquette (0-1). It will be interesting to see how they go through the Summit! I hate to nitpick, but 6-1. Wins: UMKC, Pacific, UC Irvine, Cal State Northridge, Depaul and Bradley. Don't want to short change t...

Re: Nebraska Basketball 2015-2016

To me anyway, this overseas trips have zero to do with wins and losses. Wins are nice but not important. These trips are all about building team chemistry and some extra practice time with the coaches. If you can win in the practice and chemistry areas that is a win, not the actual scores of the ga...

Anyone on the boards familiar with the parity in the various European basketball leagues? Bueller?

Re: Pacific Life HQ @ Aksarben Village

I think it fits the Aksarben theme very well. By the way was there an indoor stadium where Aksarben Village is now? It says Britney Spears had a concert in the Aksarben Stadium in 1999. The Aksarben Coliseum was in use till September of 2002. It held 7,200. Thanks! The old Omaha Racers minor league...

Re: Omaha Steel Castings Property

As a homeowner in the area I never minded the Steel Casting Plant. It was kind of a unique background. A little retail/restaurant area would be nice, though. Of course, the property value boost from further UNMC expansion is even nicer.

Re: 3802 Leavenworth (Down Under Lounge)

Re: NLL and MLS

I saw where the Chivas LA team folded. Sounds like they are trying to add a team again in a few years in LA. Trivia, when is the last time a team in the NHL, NBA, MLB or NFL folded? I assuming it was NHL. Maybe the Seals from San Fran/Oakland in the 70's? Greg Fold? Doesn't happen very often if you...

Right now all of the railroads are struggling with volume (especially BNSF). The explosion (pun not intended) of fracturing is mostly to blame. Somebody's got to ship that oil and natural gas, after all. It's going to take the railroads a while to catch up with the increase in demand but at least it...
