Only in Oklahoma...

I've got enough frequent flier miles, so I'm going to be there come gameday... One thing I noticed is if you look for a hotel on travel sites, most say they're sold out for the weekend, but if you call you can still find rooms. I was able to book a room at a reasonable rate, close to the action without being stuck out by the airport or I-80.

Not sure if this is a repost, but it's pretty funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYs0BRHDuV4 I got me a new word! "Wipey Box" They're back in Manhattan, I mean Wichita again on COPS tonight.

While we're talking about driver's licenses can I get one in case I need to bounce some checks?

Welcome to my world.

They just call me "Nebraska" for short. (I take it as a compliment. There are wose names than that)

Don't let the door hit her too hard on the way out! When she saw my house she said, "You're not a fan. You're a fanatic!" On a related subject... I got an email today from a classmate that I really don't know that I have to work on a group project with. He started the email with "Hi Nebraska-Man,"

This post sure went in a different direction quite fast. We've been visiting LA (visiting family and doing the theme parks) every 5 years for my life and the last time we were there (spring 2004) we were shocked by the culture difference. This was not the LA we remembered... This was when some Spanish TV station was putting up billboards saying "LA, Mexico" and we were just as disgusted by them as the local residents were. I had to ask myself a couple of times we were there, "This is America?"

oh, yes, it's a very big deal........ they clearly dont know anything. Will you marry me? Awww beat me to it! The weird part... the Journal Star is Lincoln's paper, have these 'catty girls' been living in a cave with no outside world contact?

It sounds like my girlfriend has been writing into the paper for relationship advice... http://www.journalstar.com/blog/catty_girls.php Catty Girls Advise Dear Catty Girls, I just started dating a guy who is waaay into Husker sports. I’m not at all. I really like him, and I’m trying to act interested, but I also don’t want to pretend to be something I’m not. From what I know, he’s always dated girls who were also very into Husker sports. Is this relationship doomed? Cara: Most likely, this relationship is not doomed. But be advised: If this relationship become serious, it may be filled with cold Saturdays at Husker games, vacations planned around Husker games, and, if you two decide to get married and have a fall or winter wedding, possibly a television broadcasting the Husker game at the reception. If you find any of these things unbearable to even think about, then perhaps you should look for a boyfriend who is not obsessed with sports. But if you don’t mind those ideas, or think you could develop a genuine affection for the Huskers, or would be OK just hanging out with other non-fans on football Saturdays, then you can make this work. Brigitte: I think you can make this work, too. But don’t go trying to live up to some big “Husker fan” image by pretending you’ve always been that way. Let him know that you haven’t been very involved in the whole Husker scene in the past, but you’re up for getting more involved, with him. Also, don’t worry if his ex-girlfriends have all been Husker fanatics. Comparing yourself to a relationship that didn’t work out will get you nowhere. In fact, he might really appreciate being the indisputable Husker expert in your relationship. Cara: And remember that sports, even Husker sports, aren’t really that big of a deal. Do you expect your boyfriend to share your deep, deep love for “Sex and the City”? Of course not. Therefore, you don’t need to develop a deep, deep love for the Huskers; you just need to be supportive of his obsession. Bonus: It’s easy to buy presents for guys who are big sports fans. Brigitte: Good point. Too many people feel that having differences means incompatibility, which isn’t true at all. You may find yourself falling in love with the Huskers as you fall in love with your guy as sort of a package deal, or you may not. There were obviously reasons other than the love of Huskers that brought the two of you together in the first place, so concentrate on those things and the rest will work itself out. But of course I'd know better than to have my wedding on a Saturday during fooball season

Apparently dyslexia has swept Boulder. They're going to win the North? I could help but burst out laughing at that.

Anyone know how good Sirius' coverage is for college football (especially the Huskers)? I didn't get mine until the end of the season and figured out how to really use it after the Cotton Bowl.

Not sure if it's too late but check out the band page. I also own the Tunnel Vision CD and have it ripped to my computer.

Why oh why did I have to open that when I'm sitting front row center in this class? You'd have thought that I've learned my lesson by now.

That would be me!

I ought to send that to my friend who hates the sooners more than anything I can think of. But I still get a kick out of sending him boomer sooner disgusied as a different song title.

That's what I was going to post.

Same goes for me, but it was the opposite. I was there for the grand opening of the Wynn at midnight. The only part that sucked was you had to be 21 to go in that night (my younger brother and sister ruined it so we had to come back the next day) but I'm sure I could have passed for 21. When I was there I was proudly wearing my red and the street vendors were getting my attention by yelling "Hey Nebraska!"

Sorry, just venting a little... Just when we thought we saw the light at the end of the 4 month long tunnel with the average of 5ºF. We wake up to 6" of winter wonderland So you'll have to excuse me if I'm a little upset if I have to go through another month of wool socks and heavy coats. Thank God this will be my last winter in Calgary.

I like Minnesota. Except up here, we say "We took Minnesota and made it a country."

I thought off colors were reserved for Texas or USC or whoever the flavor of the month is. Even though St. Patty's Day is coming up, I don't own a single piece of green clothing. Today a co-worker made a comment about me always wearing red, fortunately I was wearing my "Real Fans Wear Red" tshirt.

One important thing if you need cash. Don't use the ATMs in the casinos (they're owned by the casino and the surcharges posted on them are outrageous!). When I asked the desk clerk where the closest Bank of America ATM was, she looked at me and said, "Do you have a car?" Anyways, there's a Walgreens right on the strip, so if you need cash go buy a pack of gum or something small and use your debit card for cash back. Convenient and cheap.

I know I want to the next bowl game for my 21st, I don't care where it is or who we play.

"que"? English words only por favor. Also Nicole was able to make it 4 days without a tumble/accident?
