  1. So my cousin is getting married this coming weekend in Omaha. They cut back the number of attendees drastically even before the recent surge started getting bad, but they are still doing a reception for the attendees. I got a text from him today asking if I’d drive our 90 year old grandma and 60 year old mentally handicapped uncle with lung issues home from the reception. I told him no because I’ve been in the office with our college interns and younger coworkers that keep going to bars and such along with my fiancé working in the public school system. He said he strongly agreed with my decision not to drive them, which definitely reinforced my relief to be a long way from that wedding.
  2. So as a fun note here, 7 days after the first Nebraska football game, Lincoln shattered its prior daily record for positives by about 50%. Hospital space was already getting tight.
  3. Is there anything more tedious than listening to a person with plenty of money bitch that they might have to stump up a little more to keep the country that enabled their prosperity to keep going?
  4. Not actually a Texan but still chipped in
  5. I've always wondered how much of the last mile of the astroturfing is paid vs. volunteer carrying of disinfo from the first level websites.
  6. Point A: How bad of a spot do you need to be in your life that a two day notice game against FCS school is something that you will fill a hole in your lives? Point B: At some point, I’d like the Nebraska fans around me to ask if Nebraska is always the school voting by themselves that maybe their the assholes. Point C Blonde overall wearing Herbie Husker is the best Herbie Husker
  7. The recently built a cultural center at UNL that I can only assume is fuck you to Tom Osborn given his vocal gambling opposition
  8. Good ol’Carter Lake. Enough of a shit hole that Nebraska refused to take it when Iowa offered. It’s big claim to fame is the Gaughan family of Las Vegas game got there start running an illegal casino there since it was inaccessible to Iowa law enforcement and not in Nebraska. Still not as strange as the piece of land attached to Missouri now, accessible only from Iowa and legally part of Nebraska
  9. Yes. Omaha has went blue before, has a fair shot again. NE-1 would have a decent shot but they gerrymandered Offut into NE-1 to counterweight Lincoln.
  10. Larry’s from NE-1, Tom Osborn is NE-3’s favorite son.
  11. A lot of times the pining for amateur politicians strikes me as the same as the glorification of college athletics, and the old desire for militias instead of standing armies. Government is important but we often either try to staff it with hobbyists or become willing to tolerate useless non-entities to outright bad actors because we lie to ourselves about its value.
  12. The bright side is that by asking the COVID for an armistice now, it is believed that it will allow a rump state to be formed with the seat of government in Birmingham or some such
  13. Being on drugs seems like it would be the only way to make getting a foot job worthwhile
  14. You don’t file lawsuits to kick field goals
  15. The fuck it we’’ll just try to out score em strategy only works with mistake free offense and the other team occasionally shooting themselves in the foot or something
  16. You can’t hire Urban Meyer assistants and expect to have real success
  17. I’m pretty sure their mom was a track star, and their paternal grandfather was Olympic silver medalist in the 100
  18. Living next to an Air Guard/temporary AF base due to runway work at Offut has taken some of fun out of stadium flyovers for me, just because I see cool shit half the time when I got get my mail, and half because I get annoyed when they fuck around with C-130s all weekend
  19. Given that Texas already hired Tom Herman, I’m puzzled by the assertion that Urban would somehow be a turd too far
  20. Thanks to the Nebraska Democrats being the KU football of state level political parties, he doesn’t really have to worry. The guy that won the D primary got disavowed for sexual harassment, so while he’s on the ballot the party is pushing a write in.
  21. and they still managed to let Jim Fix it for years
  22. The science is that you don’t want to move air around in a poorly ventilated space, and it’s hard to heat buildings without doing that
  23. Also a big part of Hud was how to deal with a contagious disease that could screw your neighbors over too.
  24. Are you surprised he’s being dipshit with no god damn regard for anything but himself and his precious feelings?
