  1. Have they started the next level yet? Best way I can describe where they're at is with a little diagram - they're up to the red line. Pics coming today soon. Another level? I didn't know that. I thought skelton structure was completed. Four decks.......whoa! Actually, this design is similar to Gaylord Stadium expansion (OU). Need to install oxygen tank ports for every seats and hand out free binoculars. Way to high IMO. Next time, I will produce several pictures in Gaylord Stadium. Again kinda similar. Gaylord Stadium
  2. This is a pic of the 1987 Husky Stadium collapse. yes, if I remember right, several non-threatening injuries. Actually second deck expansion (under construction).
  3. Hopefully different engineers who's responsible for 1993 collapse in south stadium. Luckily, there were no injuries. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1933&dat=19930517&id=2N4gAAAAIBAJ&sjid=JGsFAAAAIBAJ&pg=1490,2155188 Remember that? "ies" instead of "ers"
  4. My trip from Borman OK to dad's funeal (Sioux Falls). Briefly stopped by. July 4, very hot (temperature).
  5. Devil's Advocate: 1. Dinged up throughout the season (very possible) 2. Receiver's drop the ball especially critical plays (ala Kinnie, Paul) 3. Can't cure TFumble disease
  6. I noticed no lights. Better hurry up, the schedule will be 9/29 at night, or even earlier because pending on 9/22 (TBA). Or MUSCO rescue. BTW, what's the story with Cook building? Now Vacant? Demolished? If I remember right, full football field (120yds X 55 yds) inside Cook building.
  7. +10 The odor and stains. I love the smell of natural grass (napalm) in the morning. The smell, you know that real grass smell, the whole hill. Smelled like...........VICTORY! Muddy? Not any more because tricked out drainage plus heat pipes placed underground the turf (like Lambeau Field ). OU played natural grass field for the last 15 years .... no problem slipping and muddy enviornment.
  8. Bubba will join 2015 NU recruiting LOI. Just like Weeden and Florida State guy. Could be 2014. I predict.
  9. Somewhat confused. Just pretend 4-team playoff format was in place for 2011 (last year), who's in and who's out?
  10. what's the purpose for one crooked column? (north stand). Anyway, the north stand columns are kinda flimsy IMO.
  11. How about academic thing? If I remember right, Marlon achieved a 4 year degree. If right, what major? I hope no basket weaver major
  12. Daddy says, "He wants to get closer to home" Almost 500 miles away from San Antonio to Norman.
  13. cool pix! You know USPS chiefs wants to close down 236 mail processing plants and I think including Lincoln PO (adjacent to new arena - some people eyesore). If so, can easily tear that building down and put up a parking garage. USPS death wish includes Dallas and Ft. Worth (consolidate North Texas PO), Tulsa (consolidate OKC), Oakland CA (consolidate S.F.), etc. The only hold up, US congress and president.
  14. Pershing is still standing. The Haymarket Arena isn't so much to replace the Devaney as it is to replace Pershing. Both facilities are showing their age, and it's pretty hard to get major events like headlining bands to come to town with Pershing. I don't know if this is to do with facility conditions or politics but Lincoln also lost state wrestling a few years ago to Omaha because of the Century Link Center (former Qwest) there. All in all it's a great thing, this town might get some more excitement in it for the younger crowd other than O street. Last time was KISS concert @ Pershing, late '70s. Oh god, I'm old !
  15. I'm counting this as a win if Montee Ball will be injured or suspended
  16. Nice! Good pictures. I used to work at Lincoln post office plant 25 years ago (left side picture). I believe new arena was located across the Amtrac railroad track, right? Question: What's the purpose to replace arena? I thought Bob Deveney Center is (or was?) pretty much good facility. Oh BTW, Pershing Arena is still standing?
  17. That is why recruiting battles are BS........ well most of the time. I noticed Boise State got two 1st round NFL draftees (again) vs. Huskers, vaunted OU and Texass, added tOSU, got ZERO. In the past 10 years, Broncos never received 4 or 5 stars except one player (4-stars).
  18. Of course, ESPN story made first page headline news. As usual, ESPN geeks forgot EX-Husker player
  19. Not seeing the sarcasm here. You were dead serious, and that is a shame. In other words, I need to add numerous "insert sarcasm here" icons for every other word, one icon didn't cut it. How about this? Good enough? http://sports.omaha....for-sunday-too/ you believe it? And probably :sarcasmBo wanted :sarcasmto cancel tOSU, :sarcasmMichigan, MSU and :sarcasmWiscy for :sarcasmupcoming games ! Customers are NU fans , not dictator Bo, not spoiled players........academic and personal conflict? ..... BS refund ---- fire Bo! Bad move because I'd ventured Pontifical Committee meeting and apparently equivalent to HuskerBoard. No tongue in cheek here.
  20. Fair and good argument but most 60,000 fans "No harm no foul" was not true
  21. Geez la' weez.... settle down. My post was pure joke...... you noticed "insert sarcasm" ?? Obviously you guys are a member of Jim Jones and the People's Temple club.
  22. http://sports.omaha.com/2012/04/14/spring-game-off-for-sunday-too/ you believe it? And probably Bo wanted to cancel tOSU, Michigan, MSU and Wiscy for upcoming games ! Customers are NU fans, not dictator Bo, not spoiled players........academic and personal conflict? ..... BS refund ---- fire Bo!
  23. my guess, NCAA gods decision .... one more day in spring practices?........ probably denied
  24. I saw that too...... a tornado warning down there. On the weather channel they thought 45 minutes or less more rain would on the way. game cancelled just announced 10/11 cancelled or postponed?
