khaake is 100% on topic. You just disagree with his/her point of view.

Yes, the stadium was originally named to honor Nebraskans who fought in the Civil War, the Spanish-Americans wars, and World War One, but perhaps the theme is growing a little old. In any case, I wish UNL would not deliberately inject more militarism into football games.
Just a thought experiment, but what would have happened if the colonies did not revolt, if the United States was never anything but a British colony? Would we be free?I always thank the OG soldiers who faught in the revolutionary war. I think about those guys while they play the national anthem. I think people always bring up WW11 or Vietnam but literally without the minutemen there would not be freedom or football. There would only be soccer. The

I think it's a cool gesture if you just take it for what it is.
Maybe there's some evil conspiracy behind it. Probably not though.
Doubt it... or it would have taken a lot longer. India gained their independence in 1947!!. France probably wouldn't be free because they jumped on the revolution train we started (yes I know they weren't under British rule). I think the Monarchy changed once all these other countries gained their independence. Capitalism and democracy changed the game.Just a thought experiment, but what would have happened if the colonies did not revolt, if the United States was never anything but a British colony?

Yes, it's a nice gesture, but when added to an already large list, it is just too much.
I agree it would have taken a lot longer, but I do think it would have happened. Democracy was a concept whose time had come.Doubt it... or it would have taken a lot longer.

Oh man...could you imagine how much more lame the PR forums would be if we were still a British colony?Doubt it... or it would have taken a lot longer. India gained their independence in 1947!!.

Yep, there are just too many nice gestures in the world.
God forbid someone should have to stop eating nachos for a minute or pause from drinking a beer on a cfb Saturday.
Again, the problem as I see it is that is this isn't in isolation. There are multiple events throughout the game, on the network, etc., every week. It's just too much, and a strange pairing. Let the game be the game.
