And playing "war" and shooting each other with real BB guns like we used to do when we were kids! What a bunch of f'ing pansies are being raised nowadays!

So you don't remember when the Ramones first played in Omaha? Or do you remember when Stevie Ray died? Do you remember before we had Netscape for Internet browsing? How about before pagers and cellular phones?

Hey, see if you can get an interview with Hank III. He's about to start his tour.

Did you see the whole hour-long film on it, Ohio? I think it was from PBS. It was damn good. I read the book by Bob Greene too; it was hard to put down. My dad was from North Platte and my grandma helped out a bit with the Canteen. Thanks for posting!

Country CD Put On To Impress Repair Guy WILMETTE, IL—In an effort to impress repairman Jason Delmar, 29, whom he called to fix a malfunctioning dishwasher, local resident Brad Osterberg played Merle Haggard's 1968 album Mama Tried for the entire time Delmar was in his home, the 38-year-old intellectual property attorney told reporters Monday. "He didn't say much, but I think we really connected," said Osterberg, who later added that he always makes sure he has something by A Tribe Called Quest blaring when his usual pizza delivery guy comes. "I just wanted him to feel comfortable. After all, I have a pretty nice place." After leaving Osterberg's home, Delmar reportedly resumed listening to the audiobook of Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow on his repair truck's CD player in order to "get that hillbilly sh#t out of [his] head." Yes, it was from: http://www.theonion.com/content/news_brief...ntry_cd_put_on_

From the title to your thread I figured you were talking about Obama voters.

The one I just got done reading said "knee infection". I don't know how that can happen unless you've had surgery or something. If it was indeed an injury, he's a tough SOB to be out there getting pummelled like he did. Yeah, I wonder when that infection started. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/...cast_recap.html

From the Journal-Star:

Even if both of those young men get about the same number or carries of yards versus Clemson, I think Roy deserves to start just because he was much more valuable to the team the second half of this season. Sure, Marlon needs to shine for NFL scouts, but this is NCAA football - not NFL-prep school.

Didn't you catch the "On a completely unrelated note, I hear it is against the rules to sell your tickets?" Do you think the guy just went off on a tangent there? What he was saying is he (Cody) sold his tickets. Or did you just think we would catch your sarcasm? I thought that anybody who cared knew that Cody sold some of this free Husker football tickets. On a completely unrelated note, I hear that http://www.bighuskerfan.com/smf/?f=3 is a good place to find out Husker football news.

Glad you're happy, but....if you'd like to go to a place with virtually no censorship, come on over to the Cussin' Board - http://74.86.44.120/phpBB3/index.php - profanity not required. It has the best music and politics discussions on the Internet.

We agree.

Record FG lifts Huskers past Colorado Jake Wesch (37) Nebraska's Alex Henery (90) and Nebraska's T.J. O'Leary (82) celebrate Henery's record setting 57-yard field goal. BY BRIAN CHRISTOPHERSON / Lincoln Journal Star Friday, Nov 28, 2008 - 08:28:08 pm CST The Huskers pulled off one of the more amazing wins in the program’s history when sophomore kicker Alex Henery hit a 57-yard field goal with 1:43 left to give Nebraska the deciding points in a 40-31 win over Colorado on Friday. Had Henery missed the kick, the game for all intents and purposes would have gone Colorado’s way since NU had just one timeout remaining to stop the clock. When Henery’s kick made it over the crossbar by about a few feet, the stadium thundered. Two plays pervious, Husker quarterback Joe Ganz had been sacked for a 15-yard loss, taking NU from the 25 to the 40, seemingly out of field-goal range. After an incompletion, Husker head coach Bo Pelini burned a timeout with his team facing a fourth-and-25. Pelini chose to go with Henery. Henery answered with a field-goal kick that is probably unrivaled in Husker history. The stadium rocked again a few moments later when Zach Potter batted a ball at the line of scrimmage and Ndamukong Suh intercepted it, running it back 30 yards for a touchdown to make it 40-31 with 55 seconds left. The Husker overcame a poor start and a trick play that blew up in their faces to pull out the win The Buffs (5-7) came in an 18-point underdog but had Husker fans on edge all day, leading Nebraska 31-27 going into the game’s final 15 minutes. Nebraska seemed poised to take back the lead early in the fourth quarter, but on a third-and-goal from the four, Ganz fumbled the ball away while backing away from center. Again, NU had a golden chance to take a lead on its next possession, starting it on the CU 26, but the Huskers didn’t net a first down and had to settle for a 37-yard field goal by Henery to close the gap to 31-30 with 8:09 left. Little could have anyone anticipated what still awaited Henery. If it wasn’t a pretty win for NU, it still was effective in positioning the now 8-4 Huskers as a lead candidate for the Gator Bowl on Jan. 1. The Huskers couldn’t have started much worse. Colorado scored two touchdowns on its first four offensive plays, taking a 14-0 lead before the game was five minutes old. The first touchdown came on a 68-yard pass from Cody Hawkins to Riar Greer, who was wide open across the middle. He was so open it made it tough to tell even who blew the assignment, though Pelini provided a clue when he gave an earful to safety Lance Thorell on the sideline. That touchdown was followed by a 36-yard misdirection run by Demettriu Sumler, who scooted down the east sideline without anyone touching him. This time, linebackers coach Mike Ekeler was on the other end of Pelini’s bark. Nebraska regrouped in a hurry, going 64 yards in nine plays to cut it to 14-7, the drive featuring a heavy dose of running back Roy Helu, who got his first career start. Senior Marlon Lucky did not play in the game, though it was not immediately clear why. It could have been injury-related. Lucky has been nagged by a toe injury. The Husker defense began to figure things out, a sack by Rickey Thenarse on a double safety blitz energizing the crowd. More noise came from the red patrons a moment later when the Huskers took just one play to score on a 53-yard touchdown pass from Joe Ganz to Mike McNeill. That tied it at 14 with 4:04 left. NU looked in control most of the rest of the first half, taking a 24-17 lead with 2:03 left before halftime on a one-yard Quentin Castille plunge. http://huskerextra.com/articles/2008/11/28...64364305199.txt

Published Wednesday November 5, 2008 Nebraska voters back affirmative action ban BY MATTHEW HANSEN WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER The voters have spoken, banning affirmative action in Nebraska. Now the Nebraska Supreme Court might get its say. With legal uncertainty over the petition drive that pushed Initiative 424 onto the ballot, the vote signifies the middle — not the end — of the fight to bar minority scholarships and other traditional race- and gender-based affirmative action programs. Nebraska voters approved the constitutional amendment by a comfortable margin, sending California businessman Ward Connerly and the amendment's other backers into celebration mode shortly after polls closed. The constitutional amendment bars public agencies such as universities and city governments from considering race, gender and ethnicity when handing out contracts, hiring employees and awarding scholarships. Doug Tietz, director of the Connerly-backed Nebraska Civil Rights Initiative, said the victory proved that Nebraskans want to judge people on their merits, not on their skin color. "Democrats, Republicans, independents — they can agree that the government shouldn't be playing politics based on race and gender," Tietz said. "That's the message of tonight. Nebraska believes that equality before the law is not only the state motto, it should also be enshrined in the state's constitution." Initiative 424's opponents think the vote could harm university attempts to lure minority students and might end a City of Omaha program that pushes some subcontracting work to small female-owned and minority-owned businesses. They also think it sends a bad message — that Nebraska isn't a welcoming place for minorities. But David Kramer, the director for Nebraskans United, which opposed the ballot measure, said he holds out hope that a Lancaster County District Court judge soon will declare the petition drive — and therefore Tuesday's vote — invalid. "I still think it's a very significant likelihood that tomorrow or the next day, we're going to get a ruling in our favor," he said. At issue is whether fraud allegedly committed during the petition drive is enough to render Tuesday's results moot. Connerly and his supporters contend that any fraud was isolated and shouldn't affect the vote. They point out that the Secretary of State's Office deemed 136,589 petition signatures valid, some 24,000 more than needed to put the measure on the ballot. Kramer believes he has ample evidence of petition gatherers misleading signers about what Initiative 424 would do. If a petition gatherer committed some of those illegal acts, then all the signatures he or she gathered should be thrown out, he argues. Judge Karen Flowers is expected to rule on the case soon. Either side could appeal to the state's highest court. Kramer acknowledged that some voters would be frustrated if the courts invalidated the election results. "But if people want to amend the State Constitution, they should follow the laws," he said. Meanwhile, the University of Nebraska will start reviewing its programs that might violate the ban, said NU President J.B. Milliken. University leaders and lawyers will soon decide: Is a University of Nebraska-Lincoln girls math camp now illegal? Is a Cultural Day at the University of Nebraska at Kearney OK because it lets white students attend? Is a black leadership conference at the University of Nebraska at Omaha doomed? NU also must delete references to race, ethnicity and gender in its scholarships. "What's going to change is some of the tools we have to promote diversity," Milliken said. "What's not going to change is our commitment. . . . We think diversity is important to prepare our students . . . and it's incumbent upon us to provide educational opportunity to as many Nebraskans as possible. That doesn't change." What might change is the legality of Initiative 424. Its supporters vow to continue fighting to ensure it becomes Nebraska law. "The people have spoken," Tietz said. "That's what America is about. Now it's time to put this into the Constitution."

And now if we can just keep killing the radical Islamofacists and not have certain Democrats f*ck with our Second Amendment rights, I'll be reasonably happy. And wins over Kansas State and Colorado would help too!

I like those, Rob, except that this one's racist: 2. He is not a 'BAD DANCER' - He is ' OVERLY CAUCASIAN.'

Yeah, since we match up pretty much evenly, I think our chances of winning are about 60% since it's in Lincoln and it's much more cool to be a Husker than a Jawhawk fukkr anyway. http://huskerpedia.com/games/2008/files/10...s_nu_stats.html

Dear Abby, I am a crack dealer in Beaumont, Texas, who has recently been diagnosed as a carrier of HIV virus. My parents live in Fort Worth. One of my sisters lives in Pflugerville and is married to a transvestite. My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana. They are financially dependent on my other two sisters, who are prostitutes in Dallas. I have two brothers: one is currently serving a life sentence at Huntsville for the murder of a teenage boy in 1994. My other brother is currently in jail awaiting charges of sexual misconduct with his three children. I have recently become engaged to marry a former prostitute who lives in Longview. She is a part time "working girl." All things considered, my problem is this. I love my fiancé and look forward to bringing her into the family. I certainly want to be totally open and honest with her. Should I tell her about my cousin who supports Barack Obama for President? Signed, Worried About My Reputation

Shoot, Ganz was 37 of 45 (that's 82%) for 3576 yards. I don't think that's bad. Would you rather have him playing for Eastern Michigan or Northwestern? I'm glad he's at Nebraska and some of you need to give the coaches some slack and have faith that recruiting and winning will be better in the years to come.

I would have stopped by, but my sister had a party for us. But that was very generous for one guy to offer to feed that many people. Go Big Red!
