Count 'Bility Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 We beat the hell out of Ord for homecoming one year. Have no idea what a chanticleer even is. But I think it has something to do with birds. Cheerleaders put together this huge massive red chicken out of paper mache or whatever and someone got to drive through it with a truck. That was pretty neat. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Where the eff is Ord? I've heard of it, just no clue where it is. Kinda right in the middle of the state close to Calamus. It's not the end of the world, but you can see it from there. Close to Calamus? You just said it was near a town I have never heard of. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 SWAG: 1.) Since 2000 (including that season), how many wins does NU have through the Northwestern game? (2 pts) - 123 - 0 points 2.) In that same time frame, of all 65 CURRENT Power 5 programs, where does that number rank NU? (5 pts) - 10th - 0 points 3.) Who is the top 10 in wins in that time frame of the 65 CURRENT Power 5 programs? (2 pts each) - Texas, USC, Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, Oregon, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Nebraska, TCU - 14 points 4.) There are 5 programs who have yet to eclipse the 75 win mark in that time period, who are they? (2 pts each) - Syracuse, Purdue, Washington State, Colorado, Wake Forest - 0 points 5.) Which program is in first place with 167 wins? (2 pts) - Alabama - 0 points 6.) Which program is in last place with 56 wins? (2 pts) - Colorado - 0 points 7.) Which conference has the most programs UNDER 100 wins? (5 pts) - ACC - 0 points 8.) There is 1 program who has eclipsed their 100th win during this season, it occurred last week, who was it? (10 pts) - Indiana - 0 points 9.) Which conference has the most programs OVER 100 wins? (5 pts) - SEC - Trick question. I'm giving myself 5 points 10.) BONUS: How many schools in the nation (high school and college) have the mascot "CHANTICLEERS" and who are those schools? (5 pts) - Ord - 0 points Ouch. Only scored points on two questions. Not to shabby on the best programs. Sucked at the rest of the questions. Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Where the eff is Ord? I've heard of it, just no clue where it is. Ord is 63 miles North of Grand Island. About 72 miles North of Kearney. Being from there I obviously think it is the "jewel" of Nebraska. Scratchtown Brewing Company just got awarded for best beer in Nebraska with their "Sandhills Gold" We beat the hell out of Ord for homecoming one year. Have no idea what a chanticleer even is. But I think it has something to do with birds. Cheerleaders put together this huge massive red chicken out of paper mache or whatever and someone got to drive through it with a truck. That was pretty neat. It's essentially a gamecock. Interesting thing about Coastal Carolina and Ord's mascot is that CC pronounces it as "SHANTicleer" and Ord is "CHANTicleer" Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Thanks for telling me where Ord is in relation to Nebraska towns I know where they are. Yes, I'm the typical Omahan who doesn't know where any Nebraska city other than Omaha or Lincoln is. Growing up, I also knew where Friend was, as my dad was from there. I married a girl from Hastings, so I know that area pretty well now. I have also gotten to know where the small towns along I-80 in central/western Nebraska are as I drive when I make the drive from Colorado. Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 I didn't know this till 5 mins ago but I guess Rutgers used to be the Chanticleers before they changed to the scarlet knights Quote Link to comment

Well just like the other posts above said it's about 60 miles north of Grand Island. Right in the middle of the state pretty much. Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I had heard of Ord but didn't know where it was other I was pretty sure it was more or less in the middle of the state. Calamus was of zero help. What was the finally tally? Quote Link to comment

Because the shirts that say "I <3 c$%ks" is only for baseball and for a team in South Carolina. Quote Link to comment
