I think it would be "Bad Business" for HyVee to put a store downtown anytime soon and I think they know it. There ain't no gold downtown. The gold is out there in those suburbs along 200th & something. Huge veins of gold are out there for the taking in West Omaha.

Its the same old story with this years version of the Huskers. Nebraska is the same unskilled, talent lacking poorly coached team we saw the past couple of years. The only clear advantage the Huskers have over Buffalo offensively is the running skills of Adrian Martinez. Nebraska will need Martinez ...

Like I always say I am just the village idiot here and I know I should not think but.....Considering the fact that we are still in the middle of the pandemic and hardly nobody is riding those Orbits it seems like a flawed plan to start charging fares now. Those lone and few riders that we see standi...

Oddsmakers have Nebraska as an 11 1/2 point favorite over Buffalo on Saturday. Buffalo thrashed their own cupcake team 69-7 this weekend. Yeah.... any plans to run out and bet on Nebraska giving away a touch down and a field goal sound risky. I think Buffalo should cover the point spread and they co...

We have Burger King on 138th & Q closing for the day at 1PM on both Saturday and Sunday this Labor Day weekend. The sign says they are still short of staff. I don't care what the sign says my eyes say that the minds of the people in charge must not be in a good place. https://i.ibb.co/dmBzVBw/01...

Nebraska is a 40 point favorite this Saturday. This might just be the worst cup cake team Nebraska has ever played. This might be one of the few games this season where Nebraska covers the spread.

Nebraska 56 Fordham 13

I don't mean to make grown men cry :( ......but rumors are flying that McDonalds is going to close up indoor dining again in Lincoln and Omaha. I think it sounds like a smart idea.

CoachsHotSeat.com just came out today with this seasons first edition of the list. That web site is a lot of fun unless you are Scott Frost who just made the top of the list. Quote from web site- "In 2021 we are going to do shorter blog posts on individual Head Coaches and their current situati...

I read all the local articles about the loss to Illinois today. It looks like most of the shill reporters have come to the realization that Frost is a dead man walking and they are ready to cut him loose and stop helping him hawk his kool aide. One thing the reporters got wrong showing their lack of...

Burger King on 138th & Q looks to be still sitting strong on the Restaurant Covid Casualty watch list. They were closed and down for the count today at 3:30 PM on a Sunday afternoon.

Muffed punt return for a safety and a missed extra point already and its still the first half of the first game of the season.....good thing Frost got the special teams problems fixed over the off season

I appreciate all the kind sentiment and enthusiasm from everyone. When I’m able to obtain intel from credible sources and I’m told I can share some of it, I place it on the forum. It’s a lot to digest, but we just need to be patient. I firmly believe what I’ve been told will be announced in the com...

Well it is almost the end of the 1rst quarter.......If you can't see that Illinois will win by more then 2 touchdowns yet you need to ban yourself from the Husker koolaide.

My opinion is that there is no way the top college teams could play the worst NBA teams and not get blown off the court by 20 or 30 points consistently. College Basketball is majorly watered down these days due to the fact that players go to the NBA the second they can to get some money in their poc...

To this general topic - does anybody know anything about the general plan for the stage? Is this something that will be relatively "available" for local performers, or is it only going to be used for bigger events or "Jazz On the Green" type of things where there is five or six ...

If it was coming up to the 4th game of the season against Oklahoma and Nebraska had lost 2 out of the first 3 games. Taking a Covid Forfeit might seem like a gift to a coach who never wanted to play the game in the first place.

I'm going to predict that I drive around this field of grass with a stage on it a hundred times but that I never go to see a performance on that stage even once in my lifetime. I bet I speak for the majority of people by far!

Something is "significantly broken" with the Burger Kings at 177th & Center, 144th & Center and the one in Millard at 138th & Q. There may be problems at other Burger Kings in town but these 3 are the ones I have noticed that seem to have operationally broken down. If I were to...

Better hope the NCAA does not check us for steroids er I mean Frostys hot seat just went up another notch. So now they are saying the idea to weasel out of the Oklahoma game was Scott Frost's and that Moos was against the idea. What a total lack of respect for Good Sportsmanship and contracts and ag...

Frost isn’t going to get fired as it would cost way too much to buy him out and put together a recruitment package for a new coaching staff. That supposition would make sense if those fools actually manged money sensibly. Problem is they never have and never will. If they were that worried about mo...

The main road through Heartwood Preserve is open now to the public it appears. I drove through there today and snapped this pic of what I believe is the Applied Underwriters building. They ain't setting any records putting this building up. It seems like those cranes have been there for at least a y...

With 10 says left until the first game I am ready to make my prediction. Final score is 38-23. Illinois wins by 2 touchdowns against an inept Nebraska team headed for a long year. The only thing that could save Scott Frost from getting cut loose now is the Covid! He could always just blame it on the...

Bennington would be a pretty bad idea considering its a town of less than 2000 and the store on 156th Maple is right down the road from them. I meant that as a more “tongue and cheek” comment.. But seriously, the way Bennington is growing right now, it’s future possibilities could include a full se...

Some city official was on the news saying the recent downtown flooding disaster was just a rare 100yr event ......and the city is not going to do nothing......and it would cost a bazillion dollars to fix anyway. That line don't sound like it is coming out of the same side of the mouth as the lines a...

I think the market might of blown out for the ticket scalpers on this Covid super spreader Garth Brooks concert. Looks like they are dumping off tickets for less then 20 bucks now. They might get stuck eating thousands of those tickets. Any fool with half a wit of common sense would stay out of that...

I was in the Millard HyVee today and a fight broke out at the exit of the store between a 70 year old man and a 35 yr old man. Surprisingly the old man was holding his own for a bit before the other guy got him in a full nelson and started dragging him into the store. The customers and staff were al...

My thought is that Omaha is already seeing that as indicated by Jay Noddle on Grow Omaha a couple weeks ago. He said the area from downtown to UNMC will be unrecognizable in 7 years. That "unrecognizable" factor is going to happen no matter what because things are always changing for bett...

The points have been lowered again and Nebraska is now a 7 point favorite at Illinois on August 28th. It is being reported that so far 65% of all the bets made have been on Illinois. Illinois is still a fabulous bet getting 7 points so the odds makers are still going to have to lower the points more...

There’s quite the Anti Police bias on here I noticed. First off I believe the Omaha Police and Fire HQ will be under one roof if they decide to build a new HQ. That HQ should be somewhere in downtown with enough space to put in a below ground evidence room and a dedicated Forensic Lab , indoor shoo...

I really thought theyd start with the 18, which was metro's second busiest route (TBH, might be the busiest now, even over ORBT) that serves Aksarben, 72nd street, and Ames. It was the one route throughout the pandemic that didnt retain any service reduction through the entire pandemic or "pos...
