Oh come on now, we don't need this devolving to the level of the "stop the steal" and "this election was stolen" nonsense. If Copps is the winner then Copps is the winner. We don't need any protesters running around with their confederate flags out at the Copps in Shadow Lake. Re...

Ernie Goss is a shill. His gig in this town is and always has been to help the scammers and the wheelers and the dealers sell lines of total B.S to the public. What an insult to intelligent thinking to believe they are going to have a big money making College World Series in just 90 days. Shame on E...

Creighton was luckier then lucky to draw those two lame opponents for their first two games but the luck has run out. Oddsmakers have Gonzaga as a 13 1/2 point favorite in Sundays noon game against Creighton. Gonzaga looked good today against Oklahoma. Oklahoma played pretty good but Gonzaga was a m...

These people might even be your neighbor. Unprecedented stupidity is circulating though every community. Unfortunately it appears they may also have the loudest voices in real life and in internet life. Dam shame. These Omaha World Herald posters might even include a couple of clowns who have often...

Creighton is a 5 point favorite over Ohio tomorrow. This Covid version of the tourney being held in one place with no fans isn't quite right but its better then nothing. It is going pretty good considering that so far we have only had one team that had to forfeit the tourney due to the "V."...

It was suddenly very obvious that Creighton was going to be in for a rough ride this tournament by the second half of the Colorado vs Georgetown game. The same team that just beat Creighton for the BIg East Championship was getting out classed in skill and talent by Colorado. You knew right then tha...

This does not even come close to passing the transparency test. In essence it would appear that we have an attempt by the paper to bury this story for the past 10 days. The story is sketchy and filled with holes and missing important details. It is also interesting that the paper appears to have shu...

And 4 Big10 schools in the Top 10? Really?? I hope that conference falls flat on their face in the Tournament because I think they’re overrated..and have been pretty much all season...

Looks like some Huskers are jumping ship- https://huskers.com/news/2021/3/15/mens-basketball-nebraska-basketball-roster-update.aspx Best of luck to you boys not going to lie and say were going to miss you. They are no good to us and Nebraska sure is not good for them. I wish them luck. We played a l...

The OWH report said the shooter-theif had no connections to Omaha. I wonder if he was just passing through, and if his get-away BMW was stolen from somewhere. If he could afford a BMW, it surely seems like he wouldn’t need to steal some t-shirts at JCP. He’s in deep $hit shooting a cop, or anybody ...

Creighton is a 7 point favorite over California Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara who? Can't get no easier first game then that. What a gift that is.

15 minutes left and Creighton is down 25. The odds makers now have Georgetown as a 20 point favorite. Somebody call a priest this games is dead and done.

Halftime and Creighton is shooting like a high school girls basketball team with a half time total of only 18 points. At half time the points spread has drastically shifted with Georgetown now a 10 point favorite. We know this Creighton team could easily come back but it ain't looking promising. Jus...

Creighton is an 8 1/2 point favorite today. After beating UConn yesterday the tournament was all but won. Creighton will cover and win comfortably.

Cop got shot around 4pm at Westroads today trying to take in a shoplifter and the suspect got away. I saw about 20 cop cars racing down I-80 chasing someone about 5:30 pm out by the Walmart in Gretna. They caught him a few miles down the highway. Don't know if it was him or not but it sounds like he...

Oklahoma is the reported suspected source of the leak. They were disgusted that we were trying to back out of a contract with them so they leaked it out to show the rest of the world how shady the Huskers are these days.

This sounds like premature reporting to me. Like if someone walked down your suburban street and overheard you say "Maybe we'll just paint the house safety orange" and runs to your HOA to tell on you even though they failed to hear you continue, saying "LOL JK that would be crazy&quo...

Creighton is a 10 point favorite over Butler today. Creighton might win by 20 or they might just get beat. I would take Creighton but its not a safe bet by no means.

Penn State is a 7 1/2 point favorite over Nebraska on Wednesday night. Nebraska has covered 4 out of the last 6 games. I would take Nebraska getting 7 1/2 points. Penn State has looked bad at times including losing to the lowly Huskers so yeah we got a chance of winning this game.

Miles left Nebraska with absolutely nothing in the pantry. After 2 years of Hoiberg's expert recruiting we still have absolutely nothing in the pantry. Hoiberg has bombed bad in the recruiting department. If Hoiberg's recruiting skills don't get a whole lot better fast he is going to get blown off t...

Oh wow. That’s heartbreaking. I wonder if she’ll end up dropping out of the race, that’s just fundamentally life altering. I was thinking the exact same thing., It’ll be interesting to hear additional detail as this tragic event unfolds. Joseph Stothert, from what I understand..was a prominent, res...

Creighton is a 12 1/2 point favorite playing at home against Butler today. That is a lot of points for a team that has been having issues. If I had to bet I would take Butler and the points. I don't think it will hurt Creighton much not having their coach so I think its pretty much a lock that they ...

What this is looking like now is that we have received a sugared down version of the story. Where there is smoke there is fire and we can be almost certain there is more to this then just the "plantation" comment. The players must of complained or have been complaining about racial insensi...

Bet Nebraska to cover the +16.5 spread at -110 odds. Pretttty confident but we’ll see. That definitely makes the game interesting for you. You might be watching to the final seconds to find out.

Nebraska will be going for 3 wins in a row over in Iowa tonight. Iowa is a 17 1/2 point favorite. Got to love Nebraska getting 17 1/2 points. A $10 dollar bet on Nebraska to actually win the game gets you $100. A $10 dollar bet on Iowa just to win gets you 00.40 cents! I am assuming the $10 getting...

When you win as often as McDermott does you can get by with just about anything. If Omaha can easily forgive an armed white man for shooting an unarmed black man in the street down in the Old Market they sure are not going to care about a few racist words uttered by an emotional coach. Seriously thi...

Villanova is the favorite to win the Big East Tourney with Creighton close behind. $10 on Creighton to win the Big East Tourney gets you just $20. $10 on Creighton to make the Final 4 in the big dance wins you just $50. I don't think any of those bets pay you enough for the risk but their odds show ...

Huskers have now won 2 in a row. $10 dollar bet right now for the Huskers to win the Big 10 Tourney will get you $10,000.

Rutgers is a 8 point favorite in Lincoln tonight. The points started out at 6 and then jumped to 8. Tough bet as always but I would take Nebraska getting 8 points.

Might consider starting my own pizzeria with abundant, sustainable, cheap, and local North Omaha ingredients such as Squirrel, Opossum, and Racoon. You could make a sausage out of 'em.

Nebraska has won 2 Big10 games here at the end of the season. If they could win a game in the Big 10 tourney they could back out of this season with a half ounce of dignity!

Nebraska goes down to Penn State 83 to 86. Nebraska was behind most of the game and often by more then 10 points but at least they fought back to make it look respectable at the end.

DePaul has only won 4 games all season and they come into Omaha tonight as a 15 point underdog. Creighton is a lock to win it but covering that 15 point spread is not guaranteed at all. I would bet on DePaul getting 15 points.

Penn State comes to Lincoln tonight as a 6 1/2 point favorite. The only BIg10 team Nebraska has beat in the past year is now favored? Yes the Huskers are a stink fest of a team but Penn State is pretty ugly as well. I would bet on Nebraska getting those 6 1/2 points.

The biggest concern I have, is poor voter turnout.. and then voter apathy- which will lead much of the suburban west Omaha vote to not “upset the Apple cart” and vote for Stothert..without giving one iota of consideration to any other candidate(s)... The primary is only 6 weeks from tomorrow and we...

A few weeks ago it was announced that the Millard Branch of Security National Bank will close for good in a couple of months. Pandemic casualty I don't know but it sure did not help.
