Nebraska fans, lend him your ears -- and more

[NUpolo8]

I'm pretty sure this tard calls DeKalb Ill, his hometown. I sense some serious self loathing from that worthless transplant.

 

This is why CA natives despise transplants like him. He acts like he is born and bred in California and does nothing but perpetuate stereotypes, and if youll excuse me I must go listen to my movie star governor

I would rather be a corn fed inbred than a "radio personality" serving the most fickle entertainment market in the world. 1000 bucks says this guy sucks **** to stay on the radio. Seriously.

[OmahaPoohBear]

We should be thankful that the majority of the fake boob, botox injected, 3 hour commuting, OJ/Britney Spears/Lindsey Lohan/Paris Hilton, worshipping douchebags think this way of our great state. If you don't like it, stay the f#*k out. We don't want your trash here. The last imports from SoCal to Nebraska were the Crips, Bloods, and Sorenos. What sucks is that they are of higher character and moral value than the majority of the SoCal scumbags.

[zoogs]

Way to generalize I don't think you'll find too many people in SoCal - or the world - who worship OJ and Paris Hilton. I don't think responding to tasteless comments with some tasteless comments of your own is the way to go, but anyway...

[tattooedhusker]

I'd like to donkey punch this guy.

 

Hell yes.....I have always wanted to uppercut a PUNK ASS, through a table!!!!! Lets send this to the football players and see if it doesn't get them fired up! Another California guy send the same type of letter to the rest of the U.S. I have it if anyone wants to see.

 

Doesn't Donkey Punching him imply the inevitable sodomy beforehand?

I was listening to the afternoon radio station in omaha today and apparently he was on yesterday and kevin kugler hung up on him in the middle of the interview

You have an amazing knack for removing the humor from a pretty funny line......keep your details to yourself!

[Huskerville]

Sounds to me like he's looking for a free ride on the Big Red Express. To bad for him though, we earn what we have and there are no hand outs. Get yourself a room, buy a ticket, show your face and anounce at the game your the guy that wrote the self invitation in the L.A.Times. If you don't get punched your in Nebraska, if you do you might be in for a fight of your life,Ha!

Oh hey look, it's Sime's brother who is a Nebraska fan.

 

 

Is it not possible for us to be ABOVE our competition? Sure we all say we are, but very, very few people in this thread are acting differently than the guy that wrote the article did.

Well, it's hard to argue with that...this dumbass is getting the response he wanted, after all...you all should appreciate that fact...look at this guy's history...he is notorious for this crap.

 

Sadly, if someone in Nebraska is willing to let this demented, sunburn-of-a-football journalist into their home, which horribly but proudly, many are probably willing to do, here is what he is planning on doing:

 

1) Getting out of the state with a big USC win

 

2) Getting a big, hick response he wants to complete his nasty response in the paper...after all, many in the People's Republic of Southern California will be interested in what it's like to venture to a remote village in North Platte (That's the Nebraski Republic that borders Somalia and Neptune, just so you know...thanks, Letterman).

 

3) Making Nebraskans look exactly, if not worse, than what he printed in this initial article.

 

Think I'm wrong? Why would he be so explicitly obnoxious if he really expected genuine Nebraska hospitality? If I'm planning on flying to Tel Aviv and interviewing Israeli diplomats, I'm not so sure I'm going to go flying the Palestinian flag and take crack-shots at the Israeli people. ..unless I think it's a pushover and an easy sell. Look at the reaction on this board. If he is really going to do this, which I doubt, you can bet he'll find someone that probably doesn't own an 'internet machine.' This is media-spin at its finest. I hope no one in Nebraska buys into it.

[cmb23]

Not that I think anyone should waste the time responding to this guy, again, because he wrote it for the specific fact of getting a rise out of people. But I think she does a pretty good job:

 

Dear Mr. Simers,

 

Wow...I must give you credit for writing that article bashing Nebraska. I can just picture you now, sitting in your tiny little cubicle with your feet up on your desk, smiling at every ding you hear indicating that you've received another hate email from a Nebraskan. Relishing in the uproar you've caused. But, if there's one thing you can say about Nebraskans, it's that we are very passionate people. We are passionate about our football, obviously, but we are also passionate about our cities, our state, our families, our neighbors...we are just all around good people with good hearts who are very happy and content living an often slower-paced, Midwestern lifestyle. We are very proud of who we are and where we live. We are very happy people who have chosen to live in the great state of Nebraska. I love it here and wouldn't move anywhere else for all the money in the world.

 

I must admit that I'm not a very big Husker football fan...but I still enjoy attending the games. Just like I'm not a real big baseball fan, but the College World Series (which takes place in Omaha every year) is incredibly exciting. People from all over the nation come to Omaha and everyone leaves happy to have been here, even if their team doesn't win. This year's attendance exceeded 310,600. And since teams from the Midwest rarely make it to the Series, those of us from here simply pick a favorite and become just as passionate about our new 'team' as we do our Huskers. This year UC-Irvine was probably the top pick among Nebraskans - although my team of choice was the Oregon State Beavers.

 

You see, the difference between those of us from Omaha (I can't really speak for the rest of the state since I've never lived in the rural areas) and people from cities like LA, NYC, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, etc. is that we appreciate what we have and don't take things for granted. We appreciate our land, because even if we are not farmers ourselves, we know people or have family members who are and we understand that that's how they make their living. Also because our land is the most valuable asset to our state.

 

There's a reason why the Qwest Center ranks 8th in the WORLD for ticket sales. It's because we appreciate what comes to Omaha - probably because we don't have a ton of events to choose from on a daily basis. We love our Huskers because we don't have a million teams to choose from like the Lakers, Dodgers, Raiders, not to mention the many different university teams in and around LA. That's why Memorial Stadium packs in over 81,000 fans for home games (which is more people than our 3rd largest city in the state) - and that doesn't even include the thousands of fans tail-gating outside of the stadium and in the surrounding bars downtown. The Qwest Center will be hosting American Idol auditions coming next week, Rounds 1 and 2 of the NCAA Men's basketball tournament in March (along with Anaheim, Denver, and DC), Olympic Tryouts and many other highly touted, national events coming to Omaha - and all are sold out.

 

Since we don't have an exhaustive list to choose from, we make the most of what we do have. For instance, last weekend was the Cox Classic Nationwide Golf Tournament which had an attendance of over 68,000; two weeks ago we had the Horse races which had over 50,000 in attendance; and the week before that we had Evangelist Luis Palau in town - an event which entertained over 200,000 people.

 

We may not have Rodeo Drive, but we have Village Pointe. We have tons of great restaurants, stores, bars, and clubs. We have everything that you have - just maybe not to the same extreme. We are not materialistic, gold-digging back-stabbers...nor do we have big butts. We love to go camping, club-hopping, partying, and even backyard BBQ-ing. We have good manners, strong morals and values, good work ethic, and, yes, an obsession for our largest Division I football team - the Nebraska Cornhuskers. At least Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't our governator. That's all I have to say about that.

 

So, Mr. Simers, I am personally extending an invitation to you to join my friends and I for what I assure you will change your perspective on Nebraska (well, Omaha at least). To be honest, I don't think you'll be able to hang...but I guarantee you'll have the time of your life. Or maybe you'd have more fun with my dad!! I just looked at your photo online and it literally made me spit out my Starbucks!!!! You've got to be kidding me...it's no wonder you wrote that article...look at you! I think I'll retract my invitation and extend it to a much younger, hotter USC fan! Perhaps I'll even buy him a red beer!!!

 

In the meantime, why don't you read why Money Magazine ranked Omaha the 7th best big city in the US to live it. Interesting....LA doesn't even rank on there (except for its crime statistics...) - http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bp.../PL3137000.html

 

Yours truly,

 

Sarah

[huskernation20]

I recieved this in an E-mail a couple of weeks ago:

 

Somebody from California apparently wrote the top part, but somebody from Texas came back and put them on their asses at the bottom. Someone from the great state of Nebraska should reply to this one!

 

 

CALIFORNIA:

- The drinking age is 21 but everyone starts at 14 (legally 18 if you live close enough to the border)

 

- My governor can kick your governors ass

 

- I can go out at midnight

 

-You judge people based on what area code they live in, and when asked where you're from, you give your area code

No cop no stop baby!

- I too can wear sandals all year long... plus I can put on boots to stomp your toes and I won't even stick out.

 

- You may be able to go to the "beach" instead of the "shore"... but can you go to the drive thru "Beer Barn?" What now surfer boy?

 

-Three words for you.... South Padre ISLAND..... Third Best Spring Break Location in the WORLD! 500,000 Plus people in ONE MONTH!!! Ooh wait...... Isn't that a Shore?

 

- You're chicks aren't way hotter than ours... they are almost equal... and thats only due to silicone, saline, botox, lasers and hair dye... We have the real ones and they can beat yours up.

 

- We're taught to say "Yes Sir" and "Yes Ma'am" and respect our elders because of it. We also say "Howdy" and "fixin" and "Yall" are pretty much recognized right away anywhere in the world We're famous

 

- You may know what real cheese and avocados taste like... but I know what 100% Grade A Angus Beef tastes like. Who wants avocados and cheese when you can have steak and potatoes?

 

- Haha... who do you think grows the weed and sells it to you?

 

- Why roll 40 deep when something goes down if 5 corn fed country boys can get the job done...

 

- I live next door to americans, but we call them mexicans

 

- About your Porn.... 3 words... "Debbie Does Dallas"... You can brag about it now, but we started it

 

- Why would you brag about not getting snow days off?

 

- We're smart enought to know 65mph means 65, but our speed limit is 70.

 

- - When someone cuts me off, they get run over by my big ass truck, then I give them the finger and tell them to go back to california.

 

- The drinking age is 21, but if you aren't chasin the beer by 1 yr old... you're behind.

 

- Yeah, Well my governor became the President of the United States... yours isn't even eligible.

 

- You can go out at midnight? Thats nice, I haven't even come home by then.

 

- Ok... you said,"You judge people based on what area code they live in, and when asked where you're from, you give your area code" and as hard as I try I have no idea what you're talking about... I think you're watching too much tv.

 

- Yeah, you'll definitely get looked at funny when you come to visit, but we have another name for you pretty boys, and its not greek, its french.

 

-When we go over there to visit your girls ask if we're from Texas b/c of our accent and we say "YES", then they ask if we wear cowboy hats and ride horses, again we say "YES" and then we ask would you like to wear my cowboy hat, save a horse, and ride a cowboy instead? and they say "YES!"

 

- Of course you don't stop at stop signs... none of you can drive.

 

- You can pick up Real mexican food 24 hours a day huh... well I can swing by home depot and pick up 24 Real mexicans anytime of day. Can you say catering?

 

- All the tv shows get filmed there... but where does your favorite poker game come from? Texas Hold'em anyone?

-Everything is bigger in TEXAS.

 

Though I could mention MICHAEL JOHNSON - Olympic Sprinter, World record holder in 200m and 400m, 5 Olympic Gold medals, 9 time World Champion (born Dallas, Tx)

 

Who won the National Championship between Texas and USC? ... Enough said.

 

- Football is a religion, not a sport.

 

- In Texas, football means football, not soccer.

 

- 90% of football "movies" you guys are making are about Texas Football.

 

-Varsity Blues, filmed in Georgetown, Tx - Friday Night Lights filmed in Odessa, Tx - Necessary Roughness filmed in Denton, Texas at the University Of North Texas

 

- Texas is the only state that can still separate to become its own country. The only way California's gonna accomplish that is if another earthquake comes along and you guys sink into the ocean. Can you say Atlantis.... hahaha
