If the cost of the new police HQ is less than the profit of the development in downtown, the government actually would be making a profit, isn't it? No it would not somehow magically somehow cause the city to make money by building a new police station :lol: At the end of the day when you got your ...

Not only that, but if Texas and Oklahoma were to jump, there might not be a Big 12 to go back to, let alone any sort of attractive situation otherwise. . If you are a Nebraska coach and athletic administration who has no clue how to put a team on the field that can compete with most Big10 teams.......

Rumors are that Texas and Oklahoma are looking to jump to the SEC conference. You don't need a crystal ball to see Nebraska wanting to bail out of a highly competitive Big10 to a new watered down version of the Big 12.

I'm just not feeling it. What is so good and so great about yet another downtown project that is funded by the government? I'm not with Black Lives Matter on everything but yes lets do defund the police. We don't need a new police station coming out of the pandemic. I apologize for interrupting your...

What they need from the fans is an empty stadium. They need to get that there are a lot of alternatives in the fall and crappy football is not going to cut it. The scammers, coaches and the writers who shill for them apparently have come up with what they deem to be a reasonable way to prevent your...

For the past month Nebraska was a 9 1/2 point favorite over Illinois on August 28th. Last week Nebraska was lowered to an 8 point favorite. I think Moos getting fired er I mean retiring along with the bad publicity that went along with it caused the point spread to drop a point and a half. I would ...

Uhh, both cars likely flipped because they hit the curb, so isnt that a dangerous condition. The guy could have been killed before his car laid to rest at the foot of the ORBT station. Focusing on the ORBT station as the main problem in this accident is out there. The unfortunate reality here is th...

The driver who caused the accident was drunk. If he was sober, there wouldn't have been a fatality. Stay sober, stay alive. Not the fault of the station. I would have to assume you did not catch much of the news on this. The 63yr old man who was found in an upside down car hung up on the concrete w...

Driving past the East bound Orbit station on 90th & Dodge yesterday I couldn't help notice the memorial flowers placed on the station where a guy had died when his car struck it earlier in the week. Am I the only one that thought when I first saw one of those Orbit stations that it was a dangero...

So far Trev Alberts appears to be keeping a poker face and he has not shown any real tells or clues as to what he might do in regards to fixing the fall and decline of the Nebraska Football program. Let us hope he does not have puppet strings connected to rich and famous political folks here in the ...

I just read some of the comment sections on the news stories about tree debris removal that came out today and I was like "dang, you want the city to wipe yer azz too?" In the long run is it in our best interest to have crazy old people, women, and fools playing around with sharp saws and...

I was up at midnight watching utube and posting in this forum right when the storm hit. I was not paying the slightest attention to the weather forecasters or the radar or any of it.

We are going on our 3rd day without power at my house. Out here in Millard we almost never loose our electricity but back in the 80's when I lived in Benson I had a few painful little stints without electricity.

If so, there are a lot of delusional people in Lincoln. Some pretend that by throwing money at a problem, the CA/FL/TX pipeline will magically open again and we can party like it's 1967-1999...

60,000 households without electricity now. You boys wanted a good storm well you got one! We still got power in Millard because most of our power lines are buried.

Definitely some damage being done by the winds in Millard. I can hear trees snapping every now and then. Easily the strongest wind storm we have seen yet this season.

Interesting talk recently claiming what we just saw with Bill Moos was no retirement. They are saying that Nebraska paid Moos to go away now to set the stage for Scott Frost to be fired at the end of the season. I agree with the experts 100%, you would have to be blind not to see the writing on the ...

I have tried to stay out of this crazy discussion about the farce known as the Streetcar.

There has been a lot of talk the past few days about how Runza was going to pay up to 100 University of Nebraska players a one time fee if the player made a post or tweet to their followers promoting Runza. I was wondering how much they were going to get and finally I read or heard somewhere the fee...

Word is that the Mississippi State fans brought some of that racism their state is infamous for along with them.

Moos did his job, and did the big things just fine. Everybody wanted Frost (fans here as well as schools like Florida), and Moos delivered. He got an upgrade in the basketball coaching by getting Fred Hoiberg. Sure we all wanted him to hire Frost but we never ever once said that if Frost sucked to ...

And we don't even know if the positive tests came from vaccinated or unvaccinated players, and we don't even know if there's any unvaccinated staff or players on any of the teams.

You knew this was coming. Our crazy Governor was insulting the NCAA today saying they should of never threw North Carolina out of the College World Series for having players infected with the Covid.

Well they almost made it through the CWS without a Covid breakout. Almost. North Carolina had 4 players test positive today and their starting pitcher was not able to play.

Where is Paul Harvey when you need him? We need the rest of the story! The important thing is the trash has been taken out.

I was driving past a Orbit bus yesterday and it ran over a big white sheet of plywood and it churned it and blew it out from under it right in front of me and I ran it over. No damage but note to self to watch out for that a little closer when passing the Orbit.

The under/over came out last week for Nebraska for the number of games they will win this year. It is 6! Are those odds makers good or what? To win the over the Huskers have to win 7 games and that is just short of impossible to happen. The under is not a great bet but it is a good one! The under ov...
