In looking at the chart I was amazed that LA was much more densely populated than NYC. I guess maybe Central Park plays a role in that. NYC (city only) is denser than LA (city only), but LA's urban area is denser than NYC because it is hemmed in by the Pacific Ocean and a number of moutain ranges,...

Wow. Great cast.

Does anybody feel like the 1950s and 60s are happening all over again for Nebraska football? Great recruiter, terrible coach Bill Jennings leads NU through its worst decade ever. In comes Bob Devaney who takes a team with obvious talent, ads some passion and fire and -- voila! Nebraska plays for (bu...

Keep it somewhere in Lancaster County, but move it away from the existing fair grounds so UNL can build that kick |expletive| research park they envision.

Looks great! Having the old train depot for a front door would be fantastic.

One question, though. Isn't the arena in this picture on top of some existing train tracks? And if so, are those tracks no longer in use?

edsas

Weird as it is to say, I'm rooting for Kansas to win out. Because that's just how weird this college football season has been.

edsas

Gotta love the enya music playing underneath.

I don't think it will necessarily take five years for Nebraska to make a come back. Get the right coach with a sensible plan and, with Osborn's help, I see three years as doable for NU to be a contender. Restoring the walk-on program will go a long way. The importance of having an entire state's bes...

My god, you have no idea what you are talking about. GI, Kearney and Hastings are probably the worst examples you can pick of DTs that are "drying up" because of the interstate. Kearney sits directly on the interstate and its downtown is doing just fine. G.I.'s DT is about 8 miles north of...

Boy, the Sam Keller story gets more and more gut-wrenching. He's a great athlete and he's got a heck of a lot of character. To see him go out with an injury 9 games into the worst Husker season in 40 years is hard to take. I wish him the best of luck and I hope he impresses the pros at the NFL combi...

I actually find that clip hard to watch because the keystone defense makes me think of the Blackshirts.

A better ending to the game would be if, on the 10th lateral, Terry Tate, office linebacker, came out of nowhere and dropped the ball carrier.

edsas

I hope it's true, but yeah, that rumor's been floating around Huskerpedia for a while now. BTW, this Simi Kuli guy is awesome! Â He's coming to Nebraska for all the right reasons considering the teams he turned down (LSU, USC, Oklahoma). It couldn't possibly be for self-interest (unlike Gray and Gab...

Hire Pelini TODAY. Then figure out how to pay off Callahan. I propose a 2% statewide entertainment tax, but just on Runzas and Valentino's. -Big E :lol: If we can guarantee Pelini as HC, I'd be happy to let Callahan go. But if it means another exhaustive and humbling search after the season, I'm n...

Thanks for the updates, Brad. The suspense was killing me.

edsas

I agree that the offense has "looked" mediocre. And I agree that there's been questionable play calling and that the running game is a pitiful, inexcusable shame. But I also think you guys underestimate the psychological damage that watching the defense set records for ineptitude does to t...

edsas

How can Callahan stay, but the rest go? That makes no sense to me. If a new AD comes in he is going to want his own guy. Besides that Callahan has done nothing to prove he's a competent coach...NOTHING. Name me his 3 biggest wins. Tell me who hired Cosgrove. Tell me who is in charge of this debacle...

edsas

I don't think Callahan is necessarily a dead man walking. If Pederson and Cosgrove have been kicked to the curb, that should be enough fallout for the time being. If NU goes 0-5 or even 1-4 the rest of the way, then he's probably done. 2-3 or better, plus a bowl victory, I see BC getting another yea...

Does anybody know what those slanty-roofed buildings are up by Harper-Schramm-Smith? Â I don't think they were there last time I was in Lincoln.

edsas

I hope they got their shots off before half time. Â I'm betting they didn't want a drained stadium for their picture. It's ironic that they chose to film at Nebraska because of "football tradition" only to arrive on they day that the program hit its rock bottom lowest point since the Bill ...

edsas

I'm speechless.

I don't think even Callahan's biggest critics would have predicted this before this season started.

My god.

edsas

No, they specifically wanted shots of a head coach who was good at crinkling his nose and scratching his head.

edsas

My jaw is on the floor.

Amazing, Brad!

I had given Callahan the benefit of the doubt for three seasons and five games. 2004? 5-6 is what happens when you throw in a new offense wholesale, using players that only know option football. Fine. 2005? We get a junior college QB who can pass the ball and has got a brain for picking up Callahan'...

I agree, Streets.

I don't think these NIMBYs will have much effect on this project.

Ooh. I didn't hear about that injury. I'm amending my prediction. Â WF (with home crowd advantage) makes it a game for 2 quarters. Then it'll be lights out.

edsas

Based on observations Saturday: 1) Wake is a non-issue. 2) USC has some SCARY talent, but it's not at QB. This is a winnable game, especially in Lincoln. Wake still worries me some. Â I'm wondering if they just had a flat game against BC. Add in homefield advantage and Nu looking ahead to SC and.....

Wags and Jeff, What makes you skeptical about this season? Â Granted, there are plenty of pitfalls in the schedule: Â @ WF - tough game. USC - overhyped, but talented nonetheless and capable of laying the wood to pretty much anybody -- or not. @ Mizzou -- Columbia is always tough, just ask the '97 ...

NU has a brutal schedule. A 7-5 finish would not surprise me one bit. Â But I think there's something special about this year's team for which Callahan has painstakenly laid a solid foundation.

Hey Jeff, The Harbor Freeway (110) is an absolute dream freeway. It's LA's best in my opinion. With the carpool lanes, you won't have to worry too much what the traffic's doing. Coming from Redondo Beach, you'll be at USC in 30 to 45 minutes, max. It may depend on how early you want to arrive for th...

Also JFK may have something to do with why a lot of Catholics vote Democrat. I know that's why my parents used to be Democrats.

If you want an example of what I think is a typical political Catholic, look no further than Martin Sheen.

Fair point about the history of organizations, Big E. RE: Catholics. Hispanics are a sizable Democrat block and overwhelmingly Catholic. But my Catholic relatives in Nebraska (who are Caucasian) also lean Democrat. It's not really that surprising when you look at the philosophies of Pope John Paul I...
