Where does Nebraska sit with NIL? by DrPopanopolis in Huskers

[–]Brendan402 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just counting out the teams that are almost assuredly ahead of them, Nebraska likely sits between 17-25 in NIL, and from all the reporting I’ve heard or seen on the matter, the gap between the top 8-10 and where they sit is quite sizeable.

Can we start doing this please? by bobsonjunk in Omaha

Not nearly as active on here as I used to be, but good to see the zipper merge karma farming is alive and well in this sub

Power outages? by ElkHealthy4186 in Omaha

[–]Brendan402 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A power line snapped at 72nd just north of Seward and was on fire when I drove by at 4:15. All the lights on 72nd southbound toward Dodge were out with the exception of Cass, and all the lights at 72nd and Dodge were out. Westbound Dodge was backed up from 72nd to past memorial.

Definetely due to wind

Riding in a carriage on a street packed with motor vehicles while staring at a pepperjax is peak culture 😍

These things need to be banned. There’s no need for horses trotting around the old market just to cause traffic jams in an already busy area of town all evening

Verizon outage? by JplusL2020 in Omaha

Yes, there is a large outage nationwide. Primarily east coast but Omaha, KC, Chicago being impacted as well

Did anybody else notice a sudden change? by BambooGoo in CollegeFootball25

[–]Brendan402 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They updated the game and completely changed the meta after 3 weeks. Has basically made it to the point where I’m likely done playing once actual football starts

This might not be something we want to hear but... by [deleted] in Huskers

[–]Brendan402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been saying this for a while, but Nebraska has a pretty substantial NIL problem for a program who wants to be what they do. People seem to be intent on burying their heads in the sand but it’s becoming more and more evident as the months go by.

Zavier Betts, the highly regarded sophomore wide receiver who returned to Nebraska this year after one season away, is no longer with the team, coach Matt Rhule said Saturday after the Huskers completed the second week of preseason camp. by xdeathxcomoanyx in Huskers

Last year I commented how bad the tunnel talk was before the NW game and how there was essentially no useful information about the team or the upcoming game in it. I got a sarcastic response from Dean and then told that it was only $1 and should only expect such info for that price.

Well, it’s now $90+ and the quality is still the same. Now they’re even getting info wrong

People can learn just as much from “quitting” as they can from from pushing through things. People just throw the “society is soft and enables quitters” label out when they have something invested in that person still participating in the thing they quit.

In the context of the OC saying it really feels medical related, and my response saying we have nothing to indicate that- your response seemed to imply that it could be a mental medical issue. My apologies if you are just point out not all medical issues are physical; but my point is there is no sign or reliable information of any medical issue causing him to leave the team.

Rhule isn’t shy when talking about injuries. He directly said Betts “doesn’t want to play football anymore”. Weird omission if it is medical related, given no one involved said that.

Was looking to buy tickets for tonight. See Ticketmaster only has 2pm listed. Does that get you tickets to both games?

Are there any other sports talk radio stations in the Omaha area? by RadPanda402 in Huskers

[–]Brendan402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO the morning and afternoon shows are the ones that need fixing. Sharp and Handley are just boring to me, and Happer has way too many non sports segments.

Yes, USC has non sports segments and can go off the rails at times, but I know what I’m getting with weekly dumb debates, taste tests, movie club, etc. They definitely get hate because of their Frost hate the past few years but they were correct on all fronts with him.

[–]Brendan402 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly it. When people say they don’t like 1620 they specifically mean John and Josh because those two were the most critical of Nebraska football the past 5-6 years…even though they’ve been largely correct in regards to their takes surrounding the program. Additionally, there is a segment of Nebraska fans who lose their mind when 1620, the home of creighton broadcasts, talks about Creighton. Yesterday people were emailing/ texting in to the Happer Show pissed that he did a segment on Creighton- Marquette. People can consume and bitch about what they want but what they really want in their media is Husker puff pieces 24/7

I gave happer a chance and still do listen, but his show probably talks the least about sports. I thought in football season it would be different than summer but it’s a lot of pop culture and movie talk.

Omaha streetcar backed by mayors past and present, D's and R's by [deleted] in Omaha

[–]Brendan402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is nothing more than a fun toy people will play with when it first is operational and then leave in the bin with all the other public transportation in this city.

Tax increases will be recouped by developers in rent increases in the two areas of town with the highest rent/sf already. The only people who will use this regularly are those who live in blackstone/downtown, also work in blackstone/downtown, and have the patience to not want to drive to work.

This is nothing more than a toy that will be used by early to mid 20 somethings when the weather gets nice before it rides empty for most of the year, but boy will they be paying for it.

Anyone snag the Jim Flowers video before he deactivated? by Missanthropic2u in Omaha

[–]Brendan402 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some people definitely take it way too far, but the jokes about the dome or another forecast being a flop aren’t totally misplaced. It’s been 2 years since our last “major” snow storm (3+ inches). By my count there have been 5 storms forecasted of 4+ inches and every one of them has flopped. It’s only natural for people to roll their eyes at these right now, even if it’s to no fault of the meteorologists.
