Gee whiz... Creighton needs a nice relaxing blowout one of these nights... these nail biters are driving me nuts. Â It really looked like MSU had the inside track to a win, until they lost the ball out of bounds.

The only thing legendary here is, Mike's hatred of the Knights.

The Bombers? Â Sounds like a women's roller derby team or something. I liked the 'Spikes' (drop the 'Golden')... or at least having SOME original name, differentiating us from KC. Â With the exception of Iowa... I think Omaha is about the only minor league club which has opted to retain the parent ...

Carol seems like a natural... Carlo... not so much.

Berkshire doesn't own Coca Cola Brad... it just has a stake in it (and Warren used to sit on the board).

Stargazer

Does ANYONE use actual numbers ? (the Lancers/Mavericks included) Â Heck, even in the CU games... you can see all sorts of open seats in the lower bowl, where season ticket holders are no shows.

Stargazer

It's times like these... I'm glad I'm no longer part of the 'inner circle'.

Pathetic.

Where's Brad when we need him??

My wife and I went to Crossroads for the first time in ages over the weekend (to go to Dillards) Â It appears to me that Simon is virtually giving up on the mall. Â We found it rather intimidating, walking through the parking garage, which had only about 1 in 8 lights working... it was incredibly da...

We really need to start seeing crowds of 3,000+ during the week to keep this rise in attendance going. Â The last few week night games have seen as few as 1,800 or so.

Stargazer

Watch this one during rush hour... Phoenix's Papago Tunnel on I-10 (this is just the westbound tunnel)... the stretch between downtown and 'uptown' overhead.

Stargazer

An NU sidenote... the women will likely break into the top 25 this week with a 10th straight road win at Missouri. Â This team is on fire! Â They go to highly ranked Texas A&M next.

:D ... you guys are starting to sound like NU football fans after a loss. Give SIU some credit... they came into perhaps the toughest atmosphere a valley game has ever seen (last night I saw a quote from the Saluki's coach to that effect as well, but I can't find it now) and found a way to win. Â Wh...

D'Shawn will love this... the new 'University of Omaha' Maverick football helmet...

Please write the Mayor and tell him you want to see the Civic improved... not razed... so we can continue to have more entertainment choices in Omaha. mfahey@ci.omaha.ne.us I sent this to the Pulse (have to keep these short!): Incredibly, at the same time that there were over 17,000 fans watching ba...

Stargazer

Wow, even more impressive was another 5,000 showing up tonight, to watch a huge win over north division leading Rochester (which now puts Omaha ahead of Chicago in the west) ... at the same time over 17,000 were over at the Qwest Center! Mayor Fahey... if we're to study anything here... it should be...

Stargazer

A 20 point win over lowly CU, who just came off of a win over lowly ISU. Â I think Nebraska can probably finish at least in the middle of the Big 12 pack.

Big Texas game up next.

Stargazer

Damn, that hurts. Â SIU takes lead with 4 seconds left... and Funk's final shot ricochets off of the center of the rim.

Stargazer

You're kidding? Â Das Rheinland closed... and is now this?

I guess that great news for Council Bluffs... and just a little further I'll have to drive. Â It was only 2 minutes to get to the West Center location... what's next? Â Des Moines? :\

Stargazer

So what does it cost to get that chopper airborne? :) Perhaps if the price is right... the some members of the forum might be willing to pool their resources together to get a look at some new views around town (heck, perhaps you'd be willing to do a co-brand and mass replication to raise money for ...

Maybe Lincoln would have more success if they renamed their airport to 'Lincoln Municipal Airfield'

Knights outshine the Stars 3-1... in front of almost 5,000.

I'll never understand why the feeling isn't mutual for CU fans.

Nor will I.

Stargazer

Good point. Â Staying with the more direct comparison... series record... Creighton really owes EVERYTHING to Dana Altman for making the series a little more even, with an impressive streak while Nebraska has been down. Â But give Nebraska a little credit (for being at least as mediocre as Creighto...

Stargazer

Matt Perrault (Big Sports 590 AM) is guessing 17,600 or 17,700 including the standing room tickets.

That's getting into average NBA attendance territory.

Stargazer

Well I drive it 5 days a week as well... and it is 10000 times better than it was before... about 3 days of the week. Unfortunately, at least 2 days of the week, it is almost as bad as before. All I'm saying is... we just got done spending MILLIONS to build a solution, which appears to be very tem...

I think it's safe to assume... the Knights have won over a few Lancer fans.

Here's the kind of guy I am (as you all didn't already know)... if Wallstreet ALONE gets built. Â I'll be a 'WOOO HOOO!' from me.

I'm not holding my breathe on this rumor.

Stargazer

You're right... that's worse (although in this case, we didn't JUST complete a hundred+ million dollar 'solution'). You know what is compounding the problem there, don't you? It's that West Center exit which continues on to 680... idiots try to use that as a shortcut, and it ends up backing up tra...

On the other end of the pipeline... Â my nephew (who's grandfather, by the way, is former Millard superintendent, Donald Stroh)... is a star soccer player in Arizona, in his junior year at 'Cactus High School' (I love that, and there's only one in AZ)... and would love to play at Creighton.

Stargazer

From well before the expressway opened, I was worried about this... there should have been two dedicated lanes going onto the expressway here. Anyone else take this route every day? Â I do, and I've noticed it starting to look just like it did BEFORE the expressway opened, when everyone was backed u...

Stargazer

Yeah, while I'd rather see the Knights and Beef play at the Qwest Center... there's no denying that in doing so, it would significantly limit scheduling options. Â One of the big pluses which accompanied the opening of the Qwest and Holland Centers... has been in providing that many more venues for ...

Stargazer

So how long was that Kemp contract renewal for?

Stargazer

With help from Chicago... Omaha is now just 1 game and 2 points out of first in the West division... and about 20 people from becoming the -3rd- worst attendance team in the league.

Stargazer

I don't know how to feel about this.
HUH?

One man's Luis Palau Festival... is another man's Nebraska Pride Parade.

Stargazer

Well heck, we get that kind of service in our employee cafeteria... even Scooters in the morning.

Stargazer

Considering how many times they threw the ball away tonight, it's remarkable they were in it until the very end. Â Oh well, the win at UNI was good enough for this road trip.

Stargazer

This lady at work and I were talking about the Knights and she said that there's so much to do here anymore that people are probably doing other things. I could agree with that to an extent. I'd buy into that as a primary explanation, if it weren't for those nights when there are over 13,000 people...
