  1. Just for pure BA sound I always loved F-18s , nothing sounds as loud or pissed off to me. So the blue angles would be my #1 choice.

     

    What happened to the F-22s?

     

    The F22s are currently grounded by the AD due to malfunctions/problems with the oxygen supply units.

  2. I don't know for sure but the NE ANG unit is a refueling squadron so I don't know why they'd be using an advanced jet trainer...

     

    I'm guessing if it is T-38's they're probably from Randolph AFB near San Antonio or Sheppard AFB near some small town...

     

    And don't you mean the F-117 stealth? If so, unfortunately that plane has been retired.

    We are an air refueling unit, but they have these little dart-shaped planes like the T-38 as well. Not sure why we have them (maybe so we have planes to fly to help train the fueling unit?), but I know they're part of the local operation. They talked about them on a tour I took of the base a while back, but I can't remember for certain what the plane was called. Plus I see them flying around nearly every day. Some of those pilots like to open up the throttle on the way up and it makes a nice sound. And by nice I mean really, really loud.

    To my knowledge (being ANG - no not in nebraska), Nebraska doesn't have T-38s only the KC-135. The T-38 are used to train fighter pilots to assist with getting used to pulling high g's (major reason that NASA uses them as well). Granted, i haven't been there in a long while but the unit in Lincoln has no purpose for T-38s. They had to have come from out of state. The story about them coming from Texas makes since because our largest T-38 training unit is based in San Antonio with a few squadrons scattered around.

  3. As posted on the ESPN Big 12 blog by a Texas fan under the bcarter username. Just put a copy of McCoy's helmet on the trophy where the ball would be and give Suh the Heisman, the man deserves it because he's a beast.

     

    I laughed for a few minutes as I pictured the headlock when McCoy tried to sneak by Suh.

    They have now him number 2 about 3% behind Ingram!

  4. NBC Sports has OK State in the Holiday and Nebraska in the Cotton. (they have OK State as the Big 12 number 3 and Nebaska #2). Did that change with today's loss to Oklahama? How is the two and three spot determined since we hold the same record. My guess is since we lost to TT, Iowa State and Beat OK and OK State beat Iowa State and TT and lost to OK that they would still the hold the number two spot since they beat two teams we lost to. Is this correct?
