      @ZRod No one is denying it’s not about slavery, but I don’t suggest omitting timelines to make this war about nobility of the north in regard to slavery,  when the first and foremost cause of the war was to preserve the Union. 

      https://www.battlefields.org/learn/articles/thenceforward-and-forever-free

      For as much bashing on the confederate states, the Union could have as easily freed the slaves prior to any secession or battle, instead they waited and used them as a political ally to win the war through recruitment with the promise of being freed. Does that not raise concern to you that their freedom was contingent on winning the war? 

       

      @whateveritis1224 I have read that quote mentioned at the end of the article and I understand why people feel the way they do about Lee, then again, that sentiment was held by the majority of people at the time, even Lincoln didn’t think black people deserved the same rights as whites, ie. voting, serving as jurors, etc. So when do we cancel Lincoln?

      Lisa’s Radial is great too. I am big Shirley’s Diner fan though. Prior to moving into the Pizza Hut, their prices could not be beat, but it’s still my go-to.

      That place attracted almost every demographic of Omaha. Tattered clothes to Sunday best. Saw Houston Alexander in there one time, too.

      General Lee was the definition of a statesman. He was committed to fighting for whichever side his state of Virginia chose to align with, which was decided by a vote that he had nothing to do with. Unless informed of specific examples of racism, most evidence (from letters) would show he disagreed with slavery

  12. JC Penny closing another 30% of stores.  Sears stores are basically gone...I can still remember getting dragged off to those stores when I was a kid.

      @funhusker I hear ya and with that, to each their own, respectfully. I want the option to be available for those who want to dine-in and return to daily activities. I am not jumping at going out, but we needed it for our sanity, and I’ve been gauging my activities from there, still primarily just groceries and Lowe’s.

       

      There are things I agree with and things I disagree with and before I go political, I’ll leave it at that.

      Yeah I hope they can get back to normal soon and that more people start returning to old routines as it permits. Hopefully others overtip to help make up for the lack of volume

  16. Rewatching the 2014 miami game with my girlfriend as part of her introduction to Nebraska football (she's from Alabama).

     

    She's so into it and intimidated by the crowd and I'm almost crying thinking of how much I miss football, miss big primetime moments and love this program.

      That was a great game with a lively crowd that night, of course the fireworks on the field helped stir the fans. One of the best tailgates and games I’ve been to.

  17. Do you know anyone personally who has died from Covid-19?

    1. Savage Husker

      Savage Husker

      I don’t even know anyone that can confirm they’ve gotten it, only that in the last 2-3 months I know two people who have said they “had something that wasn’t the flu and not like a cold.”

  18. What is your basic sports skill fail?

     

    Mine is, despite watching football for forever, I cannot throw a spiral. Just utterly fail whenever I try.

      Whoa. I’ve never heard of that story before, I’m going to have to shame my dad for not relating the story. My arm was effed before and especially effed after but made due. Wish I had the x-ray though :/

      I was at a 5 day baseball camp in middle school and on opening night testing, I was at the speed gun and tried stopping my arm mid throw which resulted in a spiral fractured humerus. Snapped in half and sounded like the loudest cracked knuckle you could imagine. Ended up discovering a unicameral bone cyst.

      I make cappuccino daily and Green Beans espresso beans are my go to blend. I like the flavor and I like their business model, the franchise owner in Omaha is a good person and like to support his cause. If I add any sweetener to the cappuccino, then I like Monin’s dark chocolate syrup and their white chocolate powder, sometimes I’ll add cinnamon too...if I’m feeling really wild!!!

  23. Is Kurt Warner referencing NU?

     

     

  24. Alex Lewis and Maliek Collins both make the list for bargain signings. Was not expecting Lewis to be on this list, but really that’s what it seems it has come to, underachieving NU alum finding success in the NFL.

  25. Your best "quitting a job" story?  Mine...I worked for Lincoln Trap and Skeet...I think they hired me the same day I went in for the "interview" . I worked the entire day, a Saturday, I think.  I was supposed to come back the next day and just never did...It was HORRIBLE.  The shooters were dicks.
