Had they torn down Wrigley in the 60's and moved out to the suburbs or to a multi use facility with the Bears, as so many did during that time frame (Philly, St. Louis, Cincy, Pittsburgh), the cultural significance of that facility that mostly hit its stride in the WGN era of the 1980's would never...

The existing stores might get the Casey's treatment too where they'll remodel some sites and turn them into Cadillacs, and the others will just get new signage and otherwise be left to disintegrate. That is so true. There are some of them that only had the name change but the store operates just as...

Didn't know where to put this, but has CHI ever inquired about hosting the Big 10 conference basketball tournament or the women's regional? They have hosted the men's 5 times, including the regional once. The Big 10 seems to rotate between Chicago, Indianapolis, and Minneapolis, but Omaha would be ...

I always thought that the land just to the north would be first in line for expansion. It could be an easy over 50,000 square foot expansion not counting a second floor. https://i.postimg.cc/w1ZPh2pk/questexparea.jpg Not sure if it's still the case but originally that land was reserved for adding o...

Jamarques Lawrence is probably my most surprising entrance to the portal from Nebraska:

I don't see the Trop as one of the ones that will be missed. Would have loved to have seen the Sands kept.

This site is being cleared for the new ballpark for the A's.

Now CJ Wilcher has become the fourth Husker to be headed to the Portal. Little supprised with this one. Wilcher has one season of eligibility remaining. The 6-foot-5, 214-pound Wilcher spent the past three seasons at Nebraska, where he played in 96 career games with 28 starts. He spent his first se...

For reference. These are the last 5 MLB relocations. Please tell me how easy it will be for KC to make this happen beyond saber rattling... 1. Montreal Expos>>> Washington Nationals (2004) 2. Washington Senators >>> Texas Rangers (1971) 3. Seattle Pilots >>> Milwaukee Brewers (1969) 4. KC Athletics...

It’s only $5 but since when did they start charging to park in the gravel lot at Werner park? The other lots had a fee but that was the benefit to park on gravel was it being free. If they are going to charge the same amt, they should probably pave it. I completely agree. I think it's been at least...

It seems like top 100 high school recruits are losing some of their value in the NIL era.

Gizmo's at Westroads is where I used to eat wtih friends when we'd go in the early and mid 80's. They didn't have a food court but there was a Little Kings in Gizmo's. Wasn't there also bumper cars in there for a time?

It is a step backward, especially since Shell has it.

Yeah I agree.

Greg S

In order to align their program with Maverik (per their app update description), Kum & Go has removed the feature from the app that allows you to activate pump/pay from your phone. Obviously not a major thing, but still disappointing as I quite liked that feature. Yeah it looks like their rewar...

Was this the original location, or had they moved to the new one mentioned earlier?

They were talking on the radio last week or the week before that maybe there is a growing push from fans/season ticket holders for a completely new stadium and not another remodel? I have heard that mentioned too, but I thought it was more of a "what if" If they were to build now, I can o...

I believe all three goals UNO gave up were off turnovers. The last one with about 4 minutes to go was rough. UNO had possession was skating out of the zone when the puck carrier fell. Minnesota quickly pounced and scored. I took my son up to the game on Thursday. It was a really odd game as far as ...

Just got an email, the Rally House in Lincoln is now open.

Incredibly surprised that the Big 10 has 2 of the elite 8 this year. And that Nebraska beat one and took the other to OT on the road.

A pretty funny follow up to Keisei getting the invite to the Final Four 3 point contest. Definitely worth watching the video:

Thanks for the update. Seems like everything is still good under the new owners.

I don’t mean to high jack the thread with Iowa talk so to get it back on track…I hope this isn’t an ill-timed extension that Hoiberg just got. I know transfers are all the rage right now but these for Nebraska seem a little concerning especially after such a great run this year and the growth and s...

I immediately thought the same thing when I saw this yesterday. Also, his youngest son, who’s a senior, has no intention of playing for his dad. So, maybe we will be getting a changing of the guard! That would be a great thing for that program. Fran has said that he is reluctant regarding NIL, and ...

I'd say it's mildly surprising after all of the stuff she went through early in this term, but good for her. As I said before, even as a pretty firm progressive, I'd vote for her if I lived in Omaha. Same. The amount that has happened under her watch that has been beneficial for urban Omaha has bee...
