Just because they don't think it makes sense doesn't necessarily mean they're right. Just because the road has a jog in it doesn't make it wrong either. Road design, or really any public infrastructure project is all about balance. Finding a good middle ground between perfect design and cost. I sup...

There's plenty of traffic in that area. And it's not all east-west.

mrsticka

Hmmm... Well, at least it has Giles as one stretch of road together. But can't they find a way to straighten 132nd? Not a ton of north south traffic in that area. Maybe not, but it doesn't seem feasible to keep it like that. Not feasible? There is no reason to spend any money to improve 132nd stree...

If Douglas and Sarpy merged together, then Nebraska would have 92 counties.

mrsticka

What exactly is the plan for 132nd and Giles anyway?

mrsticka

Well, apparently that plan never came to fruition.

mrsticka

A couple of months? It isn't that long.

Frances Sternhagen, 93. She was perhaps best known for playing Cliff's mom Esther on "Cheers".

Then, you will start a new thread called "What if Omaha could annex across county lines and took over Sarpy County?"

No, I won't.

Have its 2 largest cities within 50 miles apart and half the population living in them? I believe Massachusetts fits that criteria. Boston and Worcester are the two largest cities (45 miles apart) and then many of the larger cities are Boston Suburbs. I'm assuming you are counting Pappillion, LaVis...

I guess I can't feel too bad. Colorado's record this year is worse than Nebraska's and they ain't going bowling either. I guess Deion was all hype and no substance. I thought we played Iowa about as good as we could. The two blocked kicks and the 66 yard touchdown pass made the game close, but in t...

When they originally built the Giles/Harrison exit back in the early 90's, they should've redone 132nd and Giles, too. Here are a couple of ideas of how I think they should've done it: Idea #1: https://cdn-thumbs.imagevenue.com/d1/ac/d5/ME150DXH_t.png Idea #2: https://cdn-thumbs.imagevenue.com/33/c1...

According to Google Maps, it looks the same as it did 5 years ago.

mrsticka

Well, Michigan beat Ohio State earlier today to clinch the Big Ten East. So they'll face Iowa in the Big Ten Championship game next week.

Let's see. Nebraska finished the season 5-7. Their 7th straight losing season and no bowl game. It's hard for me to put a positive spin on the season.

mrsticka

10 years ago, winning 9 games a year and going to a bowl game was considered not good enough. Now many Husker fans long for those days.

mrsticka

It happened again. Nebraska lost 13-10 on a last-second field goal. How many more times are they going to have to go through this?

That whole area is like one big city altogether.

That would be unusual.

mrsticka

I never saw a crash there before it was turned into a roundabout.

mrsticka

14th Street is kind of a secondary way in and out of Lincoln on the north. 56th is obviously the main route.

mrsticka

What if a minute was 100 seconds instead of only 60? What if an hour was 100 minutes instead of only 60? If that were the case, then maybe clocks would count up to 20 instead of only 12. So what if a whole day was 40 hours? 20:00 PM being noon and 20:00 AM being midnight? What if months were much lo...

Merle Hay Mall in Des Moines seems to have fallen on hard times, too.

What if in 2011-2012, 14th and Superior was not turned into a roundabout? -Instead, the intersection is left the way that it had been for years; As a traditional intersection with traffic lights. The horizontal lights are swapped out for the more common vertical ones. -14th Street itself is widened ...

I preferred Daylight Savings Time they way it was before 2007 when it was only from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. They should've just kept it that way.

mrsticka

Nebraska left the Big 12 because of Texas. And now in the Big Ten, Wisconsin is the new Texas. It's like they traded one evil for another.

mrsticka

Game's over. Nebraska lost 24-17 in overtime. Stagburn it! But at least it went into overtime.

Here's a hypothetical scenario: It's 1994-95 and plans for a mall in northwest Lincoln are made. Yes, there are houses in that area now. But there weren't back then. It was still technically the boonies. So what if in 1994-95 a mall had gone in on 1st Street and Purple Heart Highway where I-180 end...

Penalties seem to be rearing their ugly head against Wisconsin. Usually, it's Nebraska who has that problem.

Wow! It's early in the first quarter and already Nebraska's leading 14-0. Impressive. I certainly didn't expect that.
