To follow up on my last post- Check page 4 of this thread- my fellow Moderator and friend Brad posted on 2/5/2019- it was discovered that Giordano’s Omaha FB page was a fake. Any info you pull from that page is phony and not coming from Giordano’s Here is the 2/6/2019 W-H story quote/link indicatin...

I thought I had read a couple years back, that the FB Giordano’s Omaha page was a phony and that Giordano’s had nothing to do with it… Ciao..LiO…Peace I don't remember reading that, but you're probably right about it being phony...the "job application" is probably just another clever tric...

$22-$28 per hour? That's roughly $44,000 to $56,000 per year to be the GM of a Giordano's? No way.

Just for fun, I clicked the apply button on the post, and they are claiming they will be at 1012 Douglas Street.

How about on the big patch of green space where the Omaha Civic Auditorium stood?

Just clarifying, I haven't seen any squawking about the Huskers' regional draw here. I'm mainly talking about Husker groups on Facebook and this beauty from Tom Shatel of the O W-H: https://omaha.com/sports/huskers/shatel/shatel-husker-baseball-got-robbed-on-monday-by-the-ncaa-baseball-committee/art...

NU opens against Northeastern tonight. I am hopeful with Bolt we get the win tonight. Nebraska being Nebraska, it would not be out of the question to lose to Northeastern after a week where our fans spent a big chunk of the week complaining about having to play Arkansas. Greg Yes, it would be prett...

jag42

Hilarious all the whining I'm seeing (not here, but on Facebook, and now Tom Shatel) about Nebraska being in the Arkansas regional. How about NU worries about Northeastern first. AND, it's astronomical odds, but Nebraska won't face Arkansas IF Nebraska wins every game AND IF somehow Arkansas astrono...

A couple St. Louisians on here to start things off! Blues fans by chance? So happy they won the Stanley Cup a couple years ago. I was born and raised in Omaha, and have lived in the area again since 1999. I became a Blues hockey fan during my time in Missouri from 1991-1999 while I was in college an...

I would've thought the Oklahoma game might be at 2:30 game, but I get that the TV execs think it'll be a slaughter on Oklahoma's part. Also, the Big 10 needs to get over their thing of not playing 7pm games in November. I know it's cold in Big 10 country at night in November but that's some good TV ...

Could you imagine if Cornell and Fry caught wind of this discussion.... "Due to swirling rumors on eomahaforums.com, and more specifically the "Hey, isn't that.....?" thread, we are making this joint statement at the top of this newscast, to state that we, Julie Cornell and Melissa Fr...

I know this is getting off topic, but the talk of Westroads of years ago made me remember that they have a gallery of 24 yesteryear photos on their Facebook page. I loved the old clock in the center court and the coin/stamp store. https://m.facebook.com/pg/WestroadsMall/photos/?tab=album&album_i...

jag42

speaking of the history of Westroads mall. I always found it odd that different areas had different mall names like Boston Mall and others I can't remember. Some of it, I can't imagine how it was laid out. I believe a second area was called....Westminster Mall? Yup, I remember some of corridors hav...

What a epic and embarrassing failure, especially after everything that happened with the Women's Basketball Tourney only a few weeks ago. I really hope this is an NCAA cause and not a MECA/Omaha/Local thing with them. Yup you're right, after the uproar with the women's basketball tournament, this i...

jag42

It IS nteresting that the NCAA basketball tournament was spread out over multiple venues in one metro area, but the NCAA volleyball tournament is confined to one venue, even though there are two other venues in Omaha that could be used concurrently This is a very good point.. 3 others in the Omaha ...

Eventually, the W-H Sunday edition may evolve into 8 1/2 by 11 standard notebook size sheets and be about 8 pages, minus the ads (which have more content these days than the actual newspaper)... Ciao..LiO...Peace Haha I get what you're saying, I'm just wondering how soon they stop putting out a pri...

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. I used to deliver papers from when I was a kid until about age 16 and today's paper was as thin as the daily paper used to be. The coverage with local high school sports was good, but not much else in it. Hey, I delivered the OW-H when I was a kid too. Mid 1980...

jag42

Today's Sunday OW-H is about as big as what a typical weekday paper used to be. I suppose the lack of ads has to do with today being Easter, though.

Lol, I totally forgot about the OW-H refusing to print the words "Qwest Center Omaha", but I never knew they were in the running for the naming rights. I thought it was just some stupid little hissy fit they were throwing. Something about a publicly funded venue should not have a corporate...

I for one, would love to see shots of the long vacant food court if they take the tents down first.

Maybe it's just me, but I found it very telling in the pregame video, no mention of forgiveness, or yeah, he made a stupid mistake, we accept his apology. None of that. I mean, Coach McD. owned it right away, and did NOT give the half hearted apology that is usually heard, "IF I offended anyone...

One of the strangest snow fall total maps I've ever seen. Usually the measurements go up gradually as you go from south to north or west to east, not into a rough "circle" as pictured here.

This graph shows that in an average winter, Omaha gets about 19 inches of snow. This winter is 40 inches so far. Just last winter we only got a foot.

I don't remember that. But that is funny as heck and not surprising.

Since we're talking local weather personalities, you have to give credit to WOWT-6's Mallory Schnell. For months now, just about every weekend, she has been doing the weather in the mornings, 5 pm, AND 10 pm. Can't anyone else at WOWT help her out just a little bit?

Soooo many penalties tonight. Gosh-damn.
