I was following tweets from Kevin Coffey last night and he said they barely played any songs he recognized. That's coming from a music critic! Their new album isn't out yet and as far as I know hasn't been leaked yet either so the 470 at the show are in a very small group that have heard their new ...

I think he was a late 1st round early 2nd rounder. Â Why I said probable. Â I just can't agree that it isn't a big loss for the team to lose a starter. Â Especially on a defensive line that is struggling.

iamjacobm

I think we can all agree on one thing: Contemporary country music is the absolute worst thing on the planet. I would set a flock of polar bears on fire if it meant never having to listen to that |expletive| ever again. It seems you and I can't seem to agree on much of anything. Oh by the way - this...

Big E wrote:When was the last time you saw him playing a 1st round level?

Not trying to bash the guy, but he had already played himself out of that round of the draft.

Actually the mock drafts I looked at last week had him going in the top 15 picks.

Big E wrote:Oh no now the defensive line won't get any push into the backfield derp.

They just lose a probable 1st round draft pick as a starter for a guy that picks fights with paper towel dispensers.

Crick out for the season...

iamjacobm

It sold out and at $50 a pop. Â The OWH article said it took 30 seconds to sell out...holy |expletive|.

Anyways what a cool addition for the band to do. Â You don't see shows like this happen anywhere very often.

That area has become quite the little hot spot. Â It would be a great addition.

Here is the latest major expense I have heard about this. Millard built a bunch of open concept schools with their last few bonds. Â These large rooms house multiple classes. Â The same room would have a history class on one side math on another and english on another. Â Well the teachers tend to ha...

This creek/trail/greenbelt/parks is |expletive|.

This was my first time getting a good glimpse of much of the completely finished product. Â Lincoln killed it. Â I am impressed.

iamjacobm

Got a look at the progress this past weekend. Â It has to be close to topping out. Â This thing is going to be great for UNL and Lincoln. Â I would love to see a project similar to this in Omaha soon.

This is our first pedestrian bridge jumper isn't it?

Are you sure it wasn't just some coupons for a going out-of-business sale? Stupid rumors.

This one is official that the Big 12 offered TCU to join. Â No word on TCU's response yet though.

iamjacobm

TCU got a Big 12 invite.

There is a CenturyLink Sign up over the convention entrance facing 10th. Â It looks temporary(I really hope it is temporary)

ESPN has McDermott on their Wooden Award watch list, to be fair so are 49 other players.

Looks like that is exactly what it is.

Should be a great east/west addition.

iamjacobm

I think they are linking Keystone and Field Club. Â I assume this is part of that.

http://www.omaha.com/article/20111003/NEWS01/710039958#north-o-plan-backed-by-buffetts Nice article on the plan. Â It gives some great history about some of the groups involved with this project. Also: The first step, expected within 60 days, involves selecting north Omaha property for new mixed-in...

They had the AC units out when I was by there the other day. Â Too bad they punched holes in the original facade to put those in, hopefully the patching doesn't look too out of place.

iamjacobm

This area has been noticeably more lively since UNO classes have started. Â I never had as much trouble getting a shaded table when I went there for lunch this summer compared to this fall.

iamjacobm

^^ Yep. Â Right now there still isn't much residential in the area compared to the amount of retail and entertainment. Â North Downtown will be a long process though with maybe a building a year. Â Unless there is some big time developer looking into the area(which I doubt) we will probably see 1 ne...

iamjacobm

Will that large fenced area in front of the 2nd tower just be a lawn? Â It seems like an ideal spot for more row houses in the future.

iamjacobm

Here is the development companies site.

http://www.fielddaydev.com/

Still no content on it, but if they can keep doing projects like this they will be a welcome addition.

iamjacobm

Still think this place has loads of potential with a little care. Â All of the MTC perks at a lower cost.

iamjacobm

Not very good this season.

At least I know what to expect the rest of the season.

The BFC award recognizes Omaha’s ...

Nice find! Â That will look so much better than the parking lot does from Dodge street.

I love #2 and #4 will be a great before and after angle once the Hyatt gets built. Â Thanks!

iamjacobm

Yeah, I guess I don't see the point you're trying to make, omaja. Yes, that's still a small percentage of the overall population and is the result of many factors that far outweigh pure mode choice---i.e. the horrible transportation planning habits of about the last quarter of America's existence. ...

They'll be in my bedroom soon. Some might say they're there already. You really think conservatives are going to give that area up without a fight? I wonder if HuskerDave knows that conservatives have a pretty large hand in starting this "anti-car government environment thing" The '98 Tr...

It shows how better things can get with a decent front office is more like it.

Make jokes all you want, the whole idea of a full service hotel is convince. Â That is why there is a skywalk to the CenturyLink from the hotel that is why the hotel is located where it is that is. It isn't about fat Americans. Â It is about creating a positive environment for conventions and a long...

I tried to find the article I saw a while back but couldn't find it. According to it, every single aspect of Pawn Stars is 100% fake. The "people" who were coming in with, a Jimi Hendrix guitar, for example, were owners of a local vintage guitar store. Allegedly, the store never actual...

So this afternoon I was looking at the WOWT citycams & one of them showed north downtown with the Hilton. A couple of things struck me. 1) If you have a room on the west end of the building I hope they either put in a moving sidewalk from the lobby or have a shuttle to that end. 2) Stand it on...
