  1. I plan on bringing the wife and daughter up from San Diego day of the game. Would love to hang out with HuskerBoard members...especially any who read/liked my book "No Place Like Nebraska: Anatomy of an Era" from last year. GBR!!
  2. If Nebraska wants Sanders & we can't beat out a high school team for his services, then there's a serious problem. There is a certain quality of life that Marvin may enjoy in California. There is a reason 8 kajillion people live there. No so fast, my friend. It ain't all it's made out to be...people are leaving as fast as the illegals are coming across the border
  3. Thanks VA Husker Fan! If you could....if EVERYBODY who has the book could... please give the book a rating on Amazon.com, will you? I'd appreciate having all of you guys's opinions and comments and ratings up there on the site. Right now there are a measly 3, but at least they are all 5 star ratings. It looks like I put my mom, my wife and little sister up to it. LOL The more ratings the better. Thanks so much...keep the comments and reactions coming...I have a few surprises scattered throughout the book.
  4. Anyone do anymore reading lately? I'd love to hear your thoughts and comments.
  5. When you guys get into the book, will you please give me some feedback? Many thanks!
  6. knapplc, I went to the page from when I last ordered and there was a button to check on shipping status...hopefully you can do the same. GBR!
  7. Hi knapplc, I've got Createspace handling all the handling (pardon the pun) so you'll probably get the fastest solution by contacting them directly. You ordered both and only Volume 1 showed up? That ain't right! Let me know if you hit a wall and don't get your questions answered, will you? Thanks. And I'm the same as you...I like the old-school version the best.
  8. The KINDLE Edition has arrived and is available! Below are the links...as they are not hooked up with the hard copy on the website yet. ***And if you are a Huskerboard member you will receive the special Huskerboard Discount of 40% off the Kindle edition. To get the discount code simply message me on Huskerboard here and I will pass along the discount code to you. (Please keep this info to yourself though, as I don't want my publishing house's account to go negative. LOL) "No Place Like Nebraska: Anatomy of an Era" Kindle edition links: Vol 1. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EJT8MSA Vol 2. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EJWCYDQ
  9. The interviews took place primarily between January 2009 & September 2011. I had over 150 hours worth of interviews that I had to transcribe...but they were all worth it, in my opinion.
  10. Great to hear that you are enjoying it Mr. Accountability...keep your comments flowing. They serve to inspire me and remind me why I wrote it in the first place. Thanks for your service bleedNUred. I hope it takes you back to the dirt and grass of Nebraska while you bounce around the seaways. FYI: Kindle edition may be out in a day or so. GBR!
  11. You guys have no idea how important it is for me to read your feedback as you delve into the book. Keep the conversation rolling... many thanks. The kindle version might be out in the next 24 hours...might not be absolutely perfect, but it will achieve the desired entertainment I strove for nonetheless. Please feel free to like my "No Place Like Nebraska: Anatomy of an Era Vols 1 & 2" facebook page..and share with everyone you know. GBR! By the way, it took me 4 years to write it.
  12. I'm tweaking the kindle version now. It has to be converted to a MOBI file after InDesign software is used..a real pain in the rear but hopefully worth the effort. For some reason photos and text were overlapping. As for dimensions, both volumes are 7.44" w x 9.69" h x2.5" thick and about 3.6 lbs. LOL
  13. That's very generous of you okaive. I and Team Jack thank you. Funny story, but when I first talked to Jack's father Andy we both came to realize that his boyhood neighbor was my big brother's college roommate at NU in the early 80's. And they still hunt turkey's together every year. Small world, huh? As for the paperback/hard copy thing...I would have loved some hard copy covers but the cost would have been driven up dramatically to do so...and I wanted to keep the volumes as affordable as I possibly could so everyone could enjoy them without having to bust the bank or have the old lady/old man complain that they spent too much on books LOL **Plus, I'm thinking that many people will be giving them as gifts this coming Christmas and the $24.98 price range is just about the gift giving cost that many find acceptable.....I'd love to hear yours and anybody else's comments after you get the book and would LOVE if y'all could give them a favorable review on Amazon. **By the way, just wait to you get Volume 2...it has a photo in there that only four people in the world had seen until this publishing....a little inside-the-team joke that involves a dirty little prank and the University of Oklahoma Sooners' end zone. LOL GBR!!!
  14. The Kindle edition is still working through a few kinks but I hope to have that out in the next week. As for either version, they will both be exactly the same so there are no hard choices to make. BOJ: There are over 100 chapters. Too many coaches and players and staffers to name here...but you know most of the usual suspects. Moirane: LOL Don't I wish! Okaive: I was just glad to finally finish the version I ended up with. Landloard: Let me see what I can do about a Huskerboard discount for the Kindle when it comes out. I'm trying to figure out how to do that now. Knapplc: thanks bud. You may be the first person in history to order! All Hail Knapplc!!! Just make sure you ordered both Volume 1 AND Volume 2. (They sell seperately, unfortunately)
