Anybody remember when Burger King had Pepsi instead of Coke?

And now Dean Stockwell who played Al on "Quantum Leap" has died. He was 85.

Recruiting in Florida is easier. Did he ever play big games (the Gators or the Noles?).

Not that I know of.

I just don't get it. Scott Frost did so much better at UCF, but is failing miserably at Nebraska.

Who wants to go to Shreveport, Birmingham, Memphis or El Paso?

I take it you don't?

I know. that's why I put it in quotes.

I must've missed that. Sorry.

In college football's case, it's any given Saturday.

mrsticka

Another loss. Any hope of making a bowl game is officially gone.

mrsticka

You want Scott Frost gone? Fine. But if you're looking for the next Tom Osborne, forget it. He just isn't out there.

If Nebraska can't beat a team like Purdue, there's no way they'll be able to take on Ohio State.

mrsticka

What a train wreck.

mrsticka

Either Nebraska husks Purdue or Purdue boils Nebraska. Hard to say.

And there are no flyover ramps there. A flyover ramp is a ramp that goes over an interchange. Kind of like what's at the I-80/I-480/US 75 interchange and the I-480/US 75 (North Freeway) interchange downtown.

Another Top 10-ranked team went down today. Unranked Iowa State upset #8 Oklahoma State 24-21.

mrsticka

Illinois is 3-5 just like Nebraska whereas Penn State is 5-2. Illinois doesn't have much of a chance of making a bowl game. So how can they possibly be better than Nebraska or Penn State?

mrsticka

Illinois upset Penn State 20-18 in 9 overtimes! Yes, that's right, 9. That's a new NCAA record.

The built that several years ago.

Where is it? I'm not being a smart @$$. I just don't see it anywhere on that map.

mrsticka

This is what I meant. Here's the McDonald's at 77th and Dodge in 2011 before it was remodeled. It was one of the last locations in Omaha to have 3 flagpoles and now it doesn't have any.

Seattle has them, too, on I-5 and I-405.

Peter Scolari who was on "Bosom Buddies" with Tom Hanks in the early 80's, then "Newhart" after that. He was 66.

mrsticka

At least there's no game this week. So I guess we don't have to worry about the Huskers shooting themselves in the foot and finding ways to lose.

mrsticka

There was a time when going only 8-4 was considered disappointing. Now if it ever happens, it'll be a dream come true. Nebraska is now in danger of becoming like Kansas. A team that's more than perfectly okay with losing season after losing season and no bowl games.

As much as I'd love to see that happen, I don't think it will.

mrsticka

Game's over. Nebraska lost 30-23.

mrsticka

Did you know that it follows the path of the Oregon Trail? I'll bet you didn't know that. At least until the I-86 intersection, then it goes into Utah.

Cool pictures. They almost look like the Multnomah Falls along I-84 about 15 miles east of Portland. You've been there, haven't you? I mean the Multnomah Falls, not Portland.

mrsticka

Since there's no interstate route to connect Eugene, OR, and Boise, ID, what's the best route to take?

mrsticka

Scott Frost's record at Nebraska is worse than Bill Callahan's. If anyone else was the head coach for Nebraska right now, they'd be run right out of town.

mrsticka

At least they didn't get blown out. That's all I can say.

Try the 60’s for hey day.

Crossroads didn't have a food court then.

I wish I could travel back in time to the late 80's and early 90's and see Crossroads in its heyday.

If Crossroads hadn't gone into decline and still had their second floor open to the public including their food court, here's what I envision being in there: McDonald's, Taco Bell, A&W, Runza, Sbarro's, Subway, Orange Julius, Raising Cane's and probably some Chinese or Japanese food place like I...

mrsticka

I'd gone to Crossroads a few times when I lived in Omaha. Back then, the second floor wasn't sealed off. I don't recall ever going to their food court though. I went to Westroads' when they first opened it in 1991. I thought it was a really cool place.

When I lived in Omaha in the mid-to-late 80's and early 90's, I often wondered why there were 2 Burger Kings on West Center Road – One on 120th and the other on 144th. We went to the one on 144th and West Center a couple times, but not the one on 120th and West Center. On that subject, there used t...
