Something quick I threw together.

They are high! They aren't that high. They offer great views of watching the plays develop, probably have more legroom, and have easier access to concessions and restrooms. If I had access I would jump all over these tickets. You'd be surprised how far up there they are, probably about 135 feet above the field. I'm not saying it's not a good view, the seats are right on top of the field. But that's pretty far up there.

They are high!

How did I know? That would be a branch of science or art, however you view it, called philosophy my friend! Philosophy is not a branch of science - in fact, science could and would not exist without philosophical presuppositions with which to ground itself on. The point that I was making being that science is not the only and exhaustive source of truth, like BigRedBuster claims. I know exactly what your point was, it's been made before.

I'm going to miss that show.

That's an oversimplification of "science." Science doesn't claim to answer all things, or have the answer to all things that falls within its purview. It's a means to an end, and sometimes the end isn't known yet. I didn't say Science has all the answers. What I said was that is where we find facts and truth comes from facts. BUT......Scientifically, I have never seen anyone explain how space can never end. So, obviously, we don't have that answer. When I think of space, I feel like I'm from the 15th century and everyone thinks the world is flat until someone sailed a boat around the world and didn't fall off. What is space and what is beyond space? If nothing is beyond space, how is that possible? I think technically there could be an end to the universe, and I think there are theories out there that the universe is something like a bubble and there may be more just like it. But we can only see 13.7 billion light years, or the age of the universe, so we have no way of truly knowing if there is a brick wall somewhere out there or not. I think scientists just assume it's infinite for ease of calculations and because of the fact that the rate of expansion is increasing.

How does science go about providing us the facts-based truthful answer to "why did life begin?" as one example. If you looking for the "why" as in how that's a pretty good question. But if you watch the videos The Dude posted and think about the shear number of galaxies, stars, planets shown and the small fraction of the universe those images cover it was almost inevitable that life would happen and it seems just as inevitable that "we", life on earth, are not the only form. But that's a personal opinion.

If there's one thing I've learned as a student in high school and now as a teacher, it's that a large amount of Lincoln citizens are pretty short on common sense. There is no reason that the State Fair and every state athletic tournament isn't in Lincoln. But they've either bitched about the "inconvenience" that holding these events in Lincoln causes and made them move elsewhere, or they don't fight hard enough to keep these events because they aren't appreciated. I remember going to State FFA Convention in high school (If you don't know anything about this group, they are generally the more polite and courteous adolescents that you can find, with exceptions just like any group) and reading the whining and crying that followed on the internet and letters to the Journal Star. It just seems stupid to me, considering that 1) 90%+ of the students that attend are very well behaved, and 2) these groups bring a ton of money to the city between hotel, food, and entertainment expenses. I don't get it, honestly. 3) They also provide great entertainment when staring at buildings taller than 3 stories.

Actually I think it has more to do with the way the University throws it's weight around. i.e. buying up land, forcing people off their property, taking over the fair grounds, etc. Which I can understand, but the whole N thing is stupid. If it weren't for TO I think there is a pretty good chance we'd still be trying to get that thing built, not to mention Husker athletics is probably going to be it's main tenant.

I like Taylor and I'm rooting for him this season. It hasn't always been the case. I think he has showed dedication and a work effort. His will to win has earned him some respect in my book and the good things he has done at this University have been remarkable. Some of his highlight reels are just insane to watch. That said, that doesn't mean what huskerdude is saying isn't true. It is true. Taylor has some serious downside at times. His footwork and willingness to stand in the pocket fall short many times. He has fumbled the ball a lot, and his turnovers have seemed to come at some of the worst times. Yet, can't we acknowledge that and still acknowledge that he's one of the best in some other areas too. You don't see guys with his break away speed like that everyday. You don't always hear about guys taking time out of their summer to go work on their throwing motion for the good of the team. We've watched this kid grow up quite a bit, in the game and as a person. Maybe this year, we all take a step back, acknowledge this kid's effort, acknowledge he is a tough as nails Husker, and that he is out there giving his best for the team we all love quite a lot. Let's hope he wipes those mistakes off the board in a way that is so spectacular, the chalkboard of negatives in the past is wiped clean. The kid deserves our support. I hope he goes out a CHAMPION.

Wow.. You need to be more aggressive. Get in his face and tell him to stop the littering or he will receive a ticket. It's your property and investment He must respect your authoritah!!!

Earth from Saturn, hot off the press. http://www.nbcnews.com/science/did-you-smile-camera-earth-glitters-new-view-saturn-6C10700482 Earth and the moon

He was alright, but our D let you run all over us, so it didn't really matter. One thing we call all agree about in this thread is that Braxton Miller is a biotch. Hey, leave Braxton out of this. You can't call out a kid that doesn't get to trounce all over you just because all the Nebraska guys already filled you up on how Taylor is going to and you got nothing to fall back on, petty my friend, petty (and Taylor is going to run up some ridiculous numbers on those cowboys before he even takes his first water break, he will probably turn down the first offer when the water girls come out and he will just be like 'shrug' "I know, I feel like I should be thirsty, right? But I'm good, thanks"). It helps to imagine this with Taylor not even breathing heavy, more like sighing because he's bored. He's always bored, except for when he's playing against road games.He'd probably say something more like "Coach dad said water makes you weak. YOLO!"

Guilty as charg3ed!

Not possible. You can't see things moving that fast. I don't know. You're talking crazy speeds, but over distances of light years. It's like watching a jet from the ground, it's traveling 500mph but it doesn't look terribly fast from 6 miles away. Relativity! I found one of the crab nebula but it's not great quality so it's really not that cool to see... Instead here's a time lapse of the Earth from the ISS, I find it hard to believe it's not cgi, it's so beautiful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPj8D5KaPVU

Party all night - socializes with the ladies - excellent on field production - (Babe showed up to a game once drunk and hit a home run) The game was different then. Pitching was so primitive that they allowed pitchers to put spit on the ball to make it fair. Plus everyone was drunk. Are you trying to say Jesus Christ couldn't hit a curve ball? Ah hey-seus I like him very much!

Not going to lie I think those pictures with the dot are pretty badass from the cops perspective. I'm sure BRI or someone more knowledgeable can give you the actual reason, but from what I've heard and read in books the 5.56mm or .223 round doesn't really pack much of a punch. Quite a few accounts of soldiers shooting an enemy and they just keep on coming, so if they want to be sure they aim for the head first and go for the kill shot. Better safe than sorry that you or your buddy got shot/blown up.

Here's a few more pictures of Jack from twitter courtesy of BTN. I couldn't get them to imbed. http://btn.com/2013/...at-espy-awards/

I'd love to see a time lapse image of one of these nebulae. Something fluid so you get a sense of their speed and motion.
