rebdawg 5 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Folks, my company has me in Lincoln, NE this week. These people get college footbal, they actually get into it as much as we (Southerners) do. All I hear at cafes ad restauants is how they need to fire their coach, and find a real offense, and pull some scholarships. They all agree that we should have played USC instead of OU of course they aren't the biggest OU fans in the world so that may play a part in it. Their stadium is really nice, I have been by it twice. My experiences with other Big 12 stadiums hasn't been prticularly impressive but the big red bowl is a site to behold.

You'll see lots of pheasants in the day and huge deer early and late. There are little plum bushes beside the road next to the corn fields. Ride slow by them and you'll see plenty of pheasants. Mmmm, Lincoln, another place I have lived. LE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCWarEagle 0 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 You are lucky to live somewhere they love college football. Here in Washington, DC they just don't care (unless they happen to be from back home). I'm always trying to talk football or start rivalries with co-workers and others I meet up here and they look at me the way someone back home would look at a person trying to talk about hockey. The few people that do talk about football think that the Virginia Cavaliers and the Maryland Terps are good teams with proud history. That's why I make sure to make a pilgramage back to the loveliest village a few times every year. WDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegalEagle 22 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 When I was there, Tom Osborne was coach. When they'd win a game by less than 3 touchdowns, the "fans" would just diss CTO up and down for half a week. They'd welcome those close wins now! "What was Tom thinking, running the ball on first down?" "What was Tom thinking passing the ball on first down?" and on and on and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
