That could be an issue for the 500 people left in attendance once Doug finally enters the game.

The Wayne County Airport is around 30 minutes from downtown Ann Arbor (and a little over an hour by bus, something that doesn't exist between Omaha and Lincoln). Â That's closer than Eppley is to many in the Omaha area.

I think the ice sheet is pushed into one "endzone," not allowing the seating to reach down to the ice on all sides of the arena. Â The Barclay's Center in Brooklyn will have a similar issue when the Islanders begin playing there next year. Â However, I actually prefer this design for the ...

However, the committee expressed concern about the large amount of "dead space" on Q Street. It would create three parking garages in a row from 17th to 20th streets. I think it is a valid concern. True, this is a better use of the land than a surface parking lot but it doesn't really pr...

how so? with the amount of foot traffic shown in the pictures and its proximity to a b aseball stadium, as well as the developments that are now around the park, it reminded me of wrigleyville...only that there arent as many businesses or people (less dense). was it that i reported poeple i know ...

That is possibly the worst endorsement for a place one could give.

In the past she has posted these flyers around downtown Lincoln which, thankfully, someone has decided to preserve for those of us not in Lincoln.

Apparently she is also well-known on campus for standing outside of the union handing out flyers and enlightening passers-by with her many opinions.

Lincoln has a surprising amount of crazies.

The rumor is that A&M lawyers sent a request to join letter and every SEC institution passed it. It would pretty much put the nail in the Big 12 coffin.

And likely conferences (and maybe the NCAA) as we currently know them.

Yeah a swing set salesman is a great QB :roll: . If Lawrence Phillips was not in jail or homeless I'm sure people would want to sign him as well. heck Johnny Rodgers could still play probably, I heard the last time he robbed a gas station he still showed some speed. And I'll give you Purify becaus...

He wants a BCS school and he wants to go into engineering, take your pick. Creighton has neither. He listed Creighton for the same reason he lists unl, he likes the local attention. He won't be going to either. So there was another reason outside of Creighton not offering degrees in engineering - ...

Yes, I'm sure the only reason he dropped Creighton is because they don't offer an engineering major.

Sounds almost as annoying as softball but at least this is the fans and not the players doing the chanting.

How could they merge UNL and UNMC into one campus? if something like that ever happens UNO should splinter off and get UNMC, screw UNL. How is the College of Dentistry (a UNMC college) in Lincoln? Â Universities have satellite campuses located in different cities all of the time. Â It isn't that ma...

They won't regain admission anytime soon. Â The AAU has seemingly been wanting to do this for a while and I find it unlikely that they will reverse course in the near future. I understand that UNL was nowhere near the same level of prestige as many of the members but I do take issue with some of the...

I had heard some chatter that teams like the Brewers were looking into hosting a series or two in Omaha against their weaker, less attended opponents. Since Omaha is now home to our fancy TD Ameritrade Park, it seems like a win for any club that would bring a couple of games down. Funny, until I ju...

I know that one reason that has been mentioned is that Oregon requested to go on the road first so that the players would not miss as much class since this was the first week of their quarter and playing the second and third game in Omaha would result in them missing most of the first week. Â I'm no...

Burkehead came to UNL primarily because of Ron Brown and the religious environments that he and some of the players set. As an aside, anyone want to place over/unders on when UNL ends up having it's own Air Force Team Jesus moment? (Google it.) I wonder how Ron Brown feels about the commitment of ...

Idaho is in a completely separate division of football, it Boise, Nebraska are all FBS (formally referred to as I-A) schools. If Nebraska "had" to over pay and payout $800,000 you are essentially asking the Lincoln AD to subsidize the UNO athletic department. Typical FCS (formerly I-AA)...

Yeah Post and Nickel would never work in a downtown setting. Its not like their Lincoln store has been located downtown for decades or anything. How on Earth does downtown Lincoln have anything to do with downtown Omaha? Omaha is nearly 4 times the size of Lincoln, so Lincoln is a much more "...

Deciding to look at the 8th largest building in town and then not picking it because it's downtown when you know that's where it is in the first place sounds stupid to me. Then again I'm not part of the process but when considering an office site how is it not about location, location, location? Oh...

If you have seen a commercial in the past two years you have likely heard a song by the Black Keys. Â They have really exploded in marketability recently.

Yeah, no country. Wouldn't want to give the tolerant hipsters a coronary. Or, modern country is just some of the worst music available. Also, it seems as if hipsterdom is slowly migrating toward country music anyway, you know, because it is somehow ironic, or whatever. Â Lots of hipsters are curren...

Well, why would you expect them to have the money to pay for it? Â :lol:

They started demolition of the Chipotle/Coldstone Creamery/Quizno's strip today. Watched the demolition of it myself. So the project is moving along. I might have missed it in an earlier post, but are any of these tenants going to open in thew new building? Chipotle and Coldstone seem like a good ...

Surprising, I thought 1620 had a ban on talking about Creighton basketball, except for Bahe's one hour show on Monday night. They will tell you what Bo had for lunch the past 5 days though. There is no ban on talking Creighton basketball on 1620. It's just that, well, not many people who listen to ...

Conference expansion, along with most of the money in college athletics, is largely about football programs, for which Syracuse really provides nothing. Syracuse also doesn't bring a TV market (NYC doesn't care) which could help accommodate for the lack of a major football program. Wow so you are ...

And written into the redevelopment agreement is a bad bar exclusion: The retail space cannot be used for a bar or restaurant that serves alcohol if the business "in the opinion of the City, has an unreasonable pattern of unlawful disturbances or alcoholic beverage law violations." Is this...

I thought Omaha was racially divided (which it is). But look at Detroit. Its almost like there is a wall running east and west for part of the city. I'm pretty sure that is 8 Mile Road (in actuality, highway M-102). Â And yes, it does serve as the city limits between the mostly poor, black city an...

I'm not sure if I should even share this as I imagine it will just turn into a rehashing of a million previous debates on this forum but I thought that this map was a nice way to visualize what is pretty much already known.

I think I can sum this up by saying that what Oberst and all the other do good celebrity morons do by taking their celeb status platform and spewing their bullshyt to the general audience who already admire them for their work, not their political opinions, is TASTELESS.

Yeah a new guy at work before I moved was tellling me (or anyone that would listen) how Nebraska would own the Big 10. Every year. :roll: Anyone that actually believes this needs to put down the koolaide and/or be sterilized. My honest opinion is that they will fit in well, and yes be very competi...

Among the noticeable improvements: The speakers have been removed from the stage and hung (or "flown") from the ceiling, with one new additional speaker added to each array. A wall that divided the two rooms is gone, replaced with a wrought-iron railing, an area that Leibowitz said will n...

Furthermore, he has had one amazing season amongst many more of mediocrity at best. Sure this is improvement for Kansas, but I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't ready to head another direction after they tasted brief success and crave more of it.

I guess I just don't understand why people don't find it to be an issue. Â I know that coaches are verbally abusive to their players, and that's fine. Â But when you get personal to the extent of threatening to send someone back to "get shot with their homies if they don't perform" while t...

No kidding, Mangino has the best coaching record at KU in the last 60 years, and they want to can him now? That's true, but I think most of that record is built up from an easy non-conference.
