Over the last couple months, Sears has been quietly reopening stores they closed around the country. Maybe they'll reopen their former Oak View location? Or at Gateway Mall in Lincoln? Maybe even Conestoga Mall in Grand Island? Probably not. But I wouldn't be surprised if that actually happened.

I'll take good ol' American food any day. Hot dogs, burgers, chicken strips, fries, nachos, peanuts and a soda. That's usually what I get when I go to a ballpark. You're talking about baseball right? This is soccer. I kid. Actually, looking at what some international fans eat at soccer matches, ie....

Why is that?

It's got a big baseball culture. Especially with the College World Series.

Omaha has a better chance of getting an MLB team.

Or a carnival/amusement park.

Mr. Nuke, the airport man.

So is this supposed to be a pro-soccer team? There's already a soccer stadium downtown by the I-480 viaduct.

Anybody remember when Target had automatic doors for only their exits, but not their entrances? This was back in the 70's and 80's. When I lived in Omaha in the 80's, my mom would go to Target frequently. The one on 132nd and West Center. We'd go with her. But anyway, I remember back then that they...

I guess that makes sense. Now regarding my picture, I basically took the current plan to expand Eppley and tried to build and/or expand on it . I guess I didn't do a very good job, did I? For the record, I wasn't trying to make Eppley like Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP) or O'Hare (ORD). Omaha's not even...

mrsticka

I wouldn't be surprised if Eppley got expanded again years from now. Maybe something like this? I know it's stupid and unrealistic and more than likely won't ever happen, but I thought I'd try it anyway. If they were to do it, they'd have to close up a couple of runways and build new ones several f...

I hope they can keep up this momentum going into February. If so, they'll more than likely make the NCAA Tournament.

Nebraska won 83-69! Incredible. Nebraska's doing something right this season. I don't know what it is, but keep it up.

When Crossroads underwent its extension in the mid-to-late 80's, they added that north wing leading to Dillard's. It was 2 floors. But the original east-west wing remained only 1. So if they had indeed extended the second floor above the original ground level between Sears and Brandeis, later Younke...

mrsticka

But how did you get into the mall itself? Through one of the stores?

mrsticka

Nebraska lost 94-76. Stagburn it!

mrsticka

That was unique giving it a zigzag roof. It's not something you see very often.

mrsticka

I'm amazed Nebraska actually pulled off such an upset. They're now 13-3. I hope they can keep this momentum up for the rest of the season. If so, they'll have a very real chance of getting invited to the Big Dance in March.

Michigan beat Washington for the national championship last night. This is Michigan's first national title since 1997.

mrsticka

It's going to be Michigan and Washington playing for the national championship next week.

Unfortunately, Nebraska just got swept by Texas for the national championship. Stagburn it!

For the old big 8!

Sorry, I barely remember the Big 8.

Was it just joking around? If so, I didn't know. Like I've said many times before, on the net, it's hard to tell whether someone's joking or not. I would say it was just jokingly pointing out that we've noticed you really like malls. Nothing negative intended. I'm sorry if you took it that way. Got...

Texas just beat Wisconsin and will advance to the national championship game and face Nebraska. So there you have it. It'll be Texas and Nebraska playing for the national championship.

mrsticka

But perhaps I did take it too far. I'm sorry. I never meant to pi $$ anyone off. Please don't take the joking around as indication of annoyance or making anyone upset. You just post a lot of mall what-ifs; nothing wrong with that. Seeing this new post had me thinking about this fact, so I thought i...

Yeah, okay, I guess I have gotten a little carried away with this whole mall thing. It's just that I have these thoughts and ideas in my head and I can't keep them bottled up or they'll drive me crazy.

Okay, here's a wild thought. Let's say that Crossroads Mall never gets built. Instead, something else goes in at 72nd and Dodge. So because there's no Crossroads, there's no Sears there. But then in 1967-68 when Westroads is built, Sears goes there instead? This also affects Dillard's. In the late 8...

Oh, boy. This whole conference realignment is getting ridiculous.

Norman Lear created a lot of shows. "All In The Family", "Maude", "The Jeffersons", "One Day At A Time". He also produced "Sanford And Son".

How is the conference going to be split then if no East and West Divisions?

Michigan just shut Iowa out 26-0 to win their third consecutive Big Ten Championship. Jim Harbaugh has done what no CFB coach has ever done before; Won 3 outright consecutive conference championships.
