  1. It’s a bit different, as the huskers are basically everything to everyone. No pro sports teams. The only other reasonably competitive college sports programs are at Creighton, and that’s considered a rich kid school by most. Kansas has a bit more of a divide between the KU, KSU, and Wichita State devotees.
  2. Not actually serious. I just have a joking distaste for Nebraskans. It’s mainly due to the cult-like reverence for Nebraska football. Like it is everything there, and people are legit shocked when you say you’re not a fan. It’s pretty funny when it happens.
  3. In all sincerity, it’s a weird regional diction thing. Most Kansas people say Kerr-nee, most Nebraskans say Karr-nee. It’s an easy way to figure out where people out here are from. Sidenote: I lived on Kearney St through most of college. This was a frequent argument.
  4. They are very stupid people. You have to factor that in.
  5. I use the Cals pronunciation.
  6. It's pretty clearly this forum... all the time.
  7. It's mainly their decision to name their fast food business something that sounds like a disease you pick up from a congolese mosquito that makes me not trust them. Never even entertained the idea of eating anything from them.
  8. Runza? You're better than that.
  9. I've never been more disappointed.
  10. How did you pronounce that town’s name in your head? There’s a near constant and fierce debate here about that, and frankly all the Nebraskans are wrong.
  11. I've always joked that Nebraska is full of tax and spend Republicans. Basically people vote R because that's what their parents did, and that's what they think they should do, and of course the dems are evil socialists... but policy-wise, the state seems much more left-leaning than the other states around it in my experience. Well-funded schools, tons of public work projects going on, registering a car costs roughly a billion dollars, etc... All that said, I'm sure plenty there will hate him for this, for the exact reasons he mentioned.
  12. I get that take, but is it really an overpay? A toolsy semi-prospect that likely projects as a 4th OF for a #4-#3 (maybe if healthy) starter? Seems pretty ok to me. Like this move isn’t exciting at all, but I don’t hate it.
  13. I had to stop watching it because of the subtitles. I don’t hate subtitles, but for some reason the editors often wouldn’t leave them on screen long enough. Like a sentence that should take 3 or 4 seconds to read would flash on the screen for like a half second. Just freaking insane to me that it got released without anyone telling them to go back and fix that.
  14. Wow man. Great job on the podcast! Good questions and good production as well.
  15. Sounds lame. Women create a lot of stress and it's super easy to pan fry a ribeye. Follow up question: Did you go straight from your parents to getting married, or were there years in between where you wandered the land foraging for berries and stuff?
  16. Legit question here... does anyone with a better knowledge of the ME than myself think that this sort of stuff trickles down to more anti-US Sunni/Wahabbi extremism in the region at large? Like if we cut off the flow of weapons to the Saudis/Emiratis, they up the flow of money and motivation to anti-US groups throughout the region? Or are these things unrelated/way more complex?
