  1. I would expect this from local media surrounding Cal, USC or any other liberal university; not Nebraska. I would hope the Daily Nebraskan's main objective is to support the university; not tear it down, especially when it comes to naming kids who haven't even been to court to hear the charges against them.

  2. Just to put a different spin on things - who will be your ISP? If Comcast, will they provide JUST Internet access without a cable package (I have Comcast, but I have both cable and Internet, so I don't know). I do know that Internet through a dish is crappy at best.

     

    right now I have internet and digital cable with Comcast. $100/month

  3. I can't believe no one's mentioned the 1995 tunnel walk. just knowing how great of a team they were and the smack they were gonna lay down on the opposition. no jumping around like little kids high on sugar. and coming off of Osborne's first championship...just saying

  4. After buying a new HDTV, I upgraded to Comcast's Digital Cable package so I could get channels in HD. But after seeing the huge increase in price and the numerous DirecTv commercials, I started to question whether I was getting the most for my money. I only get 15-20 channels in HD. The broadcats from ESPN HD OR FSN HD sometimes cut out. I often find I cannot see a game on FSN HD because Comcast isn't getting the right signal from FSN (this is what they tell me; not sure I believe it); so I have to end up watching it on SD FSN (which looks terrible on an HDTV).

     

    Do any of you have DirecTv? and if so, what kind of package? I am really interested in the quality of their HD channels and their ability to show local channels.

  5. Is it the down-to-earth graciousness Nebraskans possess? kindness? willingness to help others? Is it because they aren't about flash and pizazz, but dedication and hard work? Why do commentators like Kirk Herbstreit have such contempt for a state that has done nothing to them? I would love to know.

  6. I can understand the hatred for the U but have never understood the hatred of Nebraska fans towards the Gators. Other then losing to Nebraska by a large amount what have the Gators done to Nebraska fans to continue to bring up their hatred for them? Steve Spurrior because the way he looks in his visor? ( My brother ate with him and his wife said they got along great.)

     

    The media never gave Nebraska any credit leading up the 96 Fiesta Bowl. They didn't think Nebraska stood a chance against the Gators' 'Fun-N-Gun' offense. Florida was running their mouth, oh so confident. The look on Spurrier's face when he suffered the most humiliating defeat in a college football championship; I will never forget.
