Nebraska Nice

My son will be going to college at UNO, so I have been making several trips to Nebraska and I assume will be making many more. But Omaha is as far as I have gone. I don't really plan to venture much further into Nebraska.

He will probably end up marrying a Cornhusker girl and live in Nebraska and I will have to go there to visit my grandkids.

How about the 1907 game that both teams think they won? Both schools still claim victory.

The most controversial game is at Nebraska on Nov. 2. The game comes down to an Iowa State drop kick that bounced once on the ground before clearing the cross bar of the goal posts. The referee rules it is not a goal and declares 10-9 Nebraska win. Iowa State appeals to the coach at Yale, rules guru Walter Camp. Camp rules the following March that the goal should have counted toward a 13-10 Iowa State victory. To this day, both teams count the game as a win.

A buddy of mine that moved to Nebraska said that you see a bunch of "10's" walking around. By that he means a skinny guy that is married to a large woman, which together, they form the number 10. I laughed about that for quite awhile!

If only they were more like fictional Penny from "Big Bang Theory".

I remember back in the early 80s when Iowa was looking for a slogan a state legislator suggested: "Iowa-A place E.T. would call home"
Pretty sure it didn't get a serious consideration....I hope....

I feel your pain. I already have to go there to visit some of my grandkids. Worse, I have to go to LINCOLN to visit them. Even WORSE...they live in Lincoln because one son went over to the dark side and is now employed by UN-L.
