  1. I was thinking that was odd too, I thought it might be grades but he has an offer from Stanford, last I checked that school is kind of known for having lots of smart kids.

     

    Could there be some kind of grudge with the high school coach and the Florida schools? I know that is probably not it but its really the only thing I could even kind of think of. Or maybe the kid just made it well known that he wants out of Florida or maybe he has some offers from those schools and it is just not listed.

  2. Well just like it says, were you in a frat?

     

    I was in Beta Theta Pi at UNL in the 90's. It was right about the time when the school cracked down hard on frats and decided that drinking and partying were no longer "okay" so basically it meant a freshmen year of fun and then after that, well, those frat basement parties that used to be 200 girls and 50 guys, turned into frat room parties with 20 guys and 5 girls.

     

    SOOOO LAME

  3. Historical significance?

     

    I would imagine you can go by the frats, greek row can look pretty nice. If you get there at a good time you can see tons of people walking over to the stadium all in red. That is pretty cool. That is on R street.

     

    I wonder if mentioning frats will start the "Frat guys are douches" posts

     

    Greek Row at nearly any other university - and especially in the Big Ten - is going to blow ours away. The closest thing we even have to a Greek Row is 16th from Vine to R, or maybe R from 14th to 17th. Neither is all that great. Anyone who's attended a Big Ten university has seen better. (nothing personal to our Greeks)

     

     

    well the word just came down from my boss we're not shooting at any bars so what other things are there around lincoln, touristy places, or things of historical significance

    Nebraska as a state has some historical things of significance, but the city of Lincoln doesn't have much I can think of.

     

    That's pat's quote, not mine, BTW.

     

     

    Thats true, Illinois is hard core greek!

  5. I might be in the minority but Sidetracks is brutal.

     

    Brothers is kind of fun because it seems to open early.

     

    I tend to stop in Cliffs and if its totally lame we leave, if its rocking we stay.

     

    Embassy Suites is pretty fun but you really need to be in the beer garden.

     

    The Rail is fun but looks way different then it did in the mid-late 90's!

     

    Champions Club really depends, sometimes its a blast and other times its just okay.

  6. Honestly, NU fans are just like every other fan base. You have some idiots, but NU idiots can be totally annoying as they try to "educate" other fans all the time. I see this while T-gating all the time, its terrible. Look, no other fan from another school wants/needs you to educate them on NU's history. I always feel sorry for the other schools fan that is getting "educated" by the NU fan while drinking some beers.

     

    Who has seen this happen besides me?

  7. Okay, so I will be desiging our teams football camp tshirts here in a few days. Feel free to give me some ideas for cool sayings, please! I am drawing a blank.

     

    The past two years were:

     

    STRONG START STRONG FINISH

     

    NO EXCUSES

     

     

    Now, our colors are red, white and black. Feel free to give me any ideas you have.

  8. Have any of you bought or tried to buy a house that was a short sale? If so, how did it go for you and what kind of deal were you able to get?

     

    I just missed out on one here in Omaha, listed at 166K 4 years ago, down to 129K as of last month, short sale home. It sold for under 100K. Very pissed I missed it. 3 bed, 3 bath, 2200 Sq Ft. Millard North area.

     

    I was just wondering if any of you had some experience with short sales, good or bad.

  9. Planking just hit Nebraska? You have got to be kidding me!

     

    :facepalm:

     

    This is the first time someone has posted a pic of one of our players planking. That doesn't mean that planking started in Nebraska today, any more than the fact that the pic of the player's BBQ that I just posted the other day means that was the first time anyone had BBQ'd in Nebraska.

     

    I think its clear to see that sarcasim just came to Nebraska. Were you really not picking that up in my post?

     

    That facepalm wasn't a "man I can't believe you said that," more of an over-the-top silliness kind of thing. I debated whether I should have left it in there, but I was in a hurry to get to the softball game and left it. Clearly it wasn't as funny as intended, and I apologize.

     

    No problem, I think I freaked out a bit for no reason. I feel like I planked up.

  10. I'm interested -- I would need two tickets. Im from Des Moines, so not as many tickets floating around over here. Do you think you will get some tickets for the season opener?

     

    Thanks & GBR!

     

    Yeah, I do think I will have some for the opener. I usually get them tossed my way for the non-conference games, especially if they are not big ones. I will let you know, it probably wont be until the week of the game.

  11. Okay, I usually get tickets for husker games and I usually get Champions Passes too.

     

    I dont make most of the games so I would be selling some of them. Any early games, which doesnt look like many this year, I would be getting rid of. Any game BEFORE the MSU game would also be more likely for me to get rid of. Usually tickets are in one of three spots. Skybox (no parking pass), 50 yardline side about 20 rows up (with parking pass) or endzone next to the aisle about half way up (no parking pass).

     

    Sometimes its just Champions passes sometimes its just tickets and sometimes its both. Usually tickets will be two or four, just depends. I offer these up to my friends first but if anyone is ever interested, please let me know. I am in Omaha.

     

    Problem is, sometimes I don't even know if I will be getting them until maybe Wednesday or Thursday of that week.

  13. It was because he had an uncompromising, brash personality. People love it when you're a winner, hate it when you're not.

    THIS. This irked many a person off. He had that kind of personality and hadn't done a thing yet on the field. The ASU game obviously didn't help his cause either.

     

    Also, many blamed him for the LP situation. Not knowing the mental headcase that LP was, they saw Frost as the guy that cost LP the season and probably the Heisman.

     

    I was in class with the girl that was beat up also LP was my Spanish partner, weird huh? His Spanish name was Lorenzo and I got stuck with Angel. We had to do a presentation for class where he was my father or I was the father, I can't remember. All I know is that he spoke fluent Spanish and I kept saying things like "Tocar la Guitara" Which I think means, play the guitar. Needless to say I do not teach that subject
