You ever been to Lincoln? There is nothing there. It's really all they have Hey! Omaha is only an hour drive away. Des Moines is only an additional two hours. If you want to go north Sioux Falls is 3.5 hours. When you are feeling super cosmopolitan Denver is seven hours and Kansas City is three hours. Omaha is a dump. Love going out for the CWS, but it makes me appreciate the good ol PNW. Really the only reason I've even been to Lincoln was cuz my wife missed her flight in Denver coming to Omaha in '18. She flew into Lincoln and my dad and I went and picked her up. Memorial Stadium dominates the skyline when you roll into town.....its impressive, but also there's nothing else there.....it's flat, boring landscape. You couldn't pay me enough live in Nebraska. |

The most I've ever drank in 48 hours was my one weekend in Lincoln. Nebraska beat Iowa State on 11/7/87 (I just looked it up). I've never thought about going back.

Yeah except I’ve been to every state in the Midwest, they probably haven’t seen the Rockies. Yeah right. Nobody in Nebraska has ever traveled to a Bowl Game or "gone on the road." I also heard they don't have interstate highways, railroads, or airports in Nebraska, those things are for West Coast People. (Sarcasm) |

(Sarcasm) There’s all sorts of metrics but it’s pretty consistent that the Midwest has some of the least traveled populations. Per this site Kansas, South Dakota and Illinois (Midwest depending on who you ask) are the only states with populations that travel more than Oregon. Nebraska is pretty much on par with Oregon. Oregon is the least traveled population on the west coast. No surprise, Alabama and Mississippi are at the bottom of the pile. www.digitalthirdcoast.com/blog/most-and-least-well-traveled-states |

On the flat and boring thing... both of my parents were born in Nebraska and my grandparents resided in Nebraska most of their lives. Way back ago when I grew up in Grants Pass my Uncle/Aunt and cousins visited and the younger cousins (maybe 6-9 years old) were amazed by the "mountain" they had to drive up to get to our place. It probably was roughly a 65-80 foot elevation change to get to the house. I'm still fond of Nebraska even though I haven't been there in 35 years. The amount of support they had for Nebraska football in the 70's and early 80's was out of this world compared to what I've seen here... Don't know if that's still the case but it wouldn't surprise me. |
