Re: Nebraska Football 2019

I've looked at everything I could to convince myself the Huskers will win this weekend, but there's just nothing there. Indiana is better in every statistical category and it isn't even very close. That will lead me to make the unfortunate prediction of a 30-20 Indiana win. The game of football has...

I’m going to give NU a slight edge in this one. It’s a must win if the Huskers have any hopes of gaining the 6 win, bowl eligibility level...

Re: Pepperjax Grill - Omaha/CB Metro Area

Pepperjax Grill ceased to get any more of my business after they bailed on Omaha, gave BS reasoning to do so, and moved their corporate HQ’s to Colorado a couple years back..

Frankly, it’s no big loss for me; because I always found their food to be mediocre anyway...
