She's still living in the fairyland world of "Nebraskans are morally better than any other state in the union."
I'm still shocked that we now have casinos in Nebraska. So dumb to pour all that money into Iowa year after year.
But plenty of other "devils works." Not to mention extreme poverty and federal funding.
Alabama is considered one of the states that is most dependent on federal funding, with federal funding making up 27% of its state revenue. However, Alabama also holds onto millions of dollars in unspent federal funds that are meant to support low-income families.
Yes...It's the Nebraska way... In the meantime every landowner/homeowner are taking it in the shorts... But that's the public schools faults.
That state is the epitome of the dark ages and is a giant shit hole.
“Selling our soul” 🤣 GTFOH with your ridiculous hyperbole. People do far more harm to their cause when they’re dishonest or disingenuous about their reasons/motives. Did she also say it was a “threat to democracy”… lol
I didn't mean it as a positive - more of an oddity given they are surrounded by states with these things and lose revenue to all surrounding states.
I grew up in the Devaney years smelling cigars & whisky on every guy's breath.
It's baseball I'm most happy about. It's the American way!
⚾ + 🌭 + 🍺 = 😎

Tacos and Tequila!! Breakfast of champions!!

Back when coaches could act like coaches and not have to pretend like it was a 24/7 job where they were not able to have a beer or go have fun.
I look forward to watching the fights in the stands on YouTube 😂
Sounds like they are at least consistent. Allowing the lottery and pull tabs but not casinos doesn't make sense. Same for allowing alcohol and bars but not legalized weed. Be consistent.
So she is the Reagent attempting to cause a precipitate here?
I watched that live. God that got under my skin at the time. Now it's all just fond memories.
Barry is just a fun-loving good guy. He has nothing but love and respect for NU and T.O. His OU teams always had that Sooner Magic against T.O early in his career.
It took me a lot of years to be ok with Switzer. His remarks always got under my skin. It was even worse when he beat us, which was frequently.
Great. More drunken idiots. Glad I have no interest in attending any games.
To be open, I have been to one casino in my life and it was to attend a meeting of college leaders. Think I spent $10 on some kind of machine, a dime at a time as I recall. Found it terribly boring. Still have never purchased a lottery ticket. When they first were available in KS the college I was at gave them at at our annual Christmas party and I won $2.00 so I am way ahead.
All that said, knowing the odds are stacked way against anyone winning. You go against those odds and with the constant drumbeat beat of how inflation has ravaged the economy of many, it seems there is still room for gambling. I don’t knock those that enjoy those things, part of living in a free, for now, country.
I don’t know what schools receive in NE from gambling but when I got out several years it wasn’t much. It sure wasn’t even close to what the pro-gamblers promised. Gambling is a big business as is selling alcohol, the casinos I drive by all seem to have nice big buildings and lots of shiny stuff to offer on someone else’s dime, just not mine.

Serving alcohol actually reduces how drunk people get at games. They don't try to drink enough in the parking lot to get through games.
We all need to vote out Kathy Wilmot next time she's up for re-election. We cannot let these out of touch views have any affect on Nebraska athletics or revenue moving forward. This was the easiest decision ever. What else is she going to vote against that she thinks is the devil? Its a different era and we can't fall behind.
When are you going to get legal pot? I rarely notice it and Washington with Colorado was the first to legalize it. Pot is very low on the list. I think the dopers who are shooting up and leaving dirty needles laying around in public places are much more dangerous. I don't have any hard facts, but anecdotally I think the hardcore homeless, drug-crazed pain-in the- A$$ criminals are not smoking pot. They are doing much worse.
I don't know about the casinos in Nebraska. but the ones in Washington are not near as much fun as Vegas. I am not a big gambler, so I am no expert, but when I go to a casino here in Washington it feels kind of small time. The Indians, they are the only group that have casinos here, have built some really nice buildings, but I still think they are kind of hokey. I've been in Vegas 5 or 6 times in my life. I only go for a couple of days because it quickly becomes too much of too much for me.
Yep!
Back in the day and even now sometimes, I will happily do an extra shot or pound a beer before heading in and then of course, sneak in tons of shooters.
Now, I will just go in and buy a big beer for the first half and one for the second half.
And since I bought it in the stadium I will also start swearing and harassing women and kids.
Dude, Vegas is perfect for about 3 days, MAYBE 4...anything over that and it is just too much, I totally agree with you.
Now with that said, I have never done the pool stuff and drinking all day at a pool party, that could be different. I just go to gamble and dick around.
I’ve been to plenty of sporting events where there’s alcohol sales and they’re no worse than the driunks at Husker games. Multiple empty single shot empty Fireball bottles were getting kicked down the bleachers from above our seats at the last home game. Sell beer for heavens sake.

I've drank inside at every single Nebraska home game that I attended. Big deal.
