Nebraska is like Missouri. Flat and Farms.

[HuskerFever]

All the more reason to hate the Orange.

Kind of like that guys girlfriend!

So we are New York with better weather.

[jayschool]

Might be interesting to get them in the ACC Challenge next year, but we'd have to go to hell ... I mean, upstate New York.

[AuroranHusker]

The Omaha metro has over 900,000 people while the Syracuse area has roughly 660,000. Facts are hard for the Orange.

[Huskerpapa]

Well, Nebraska is rather flat and full of farms.  We can't change who we are.  When we can claim that the third largest city in Nebraska is Memorial Stadium during a Cornhusker football game, it also kind of tells us about our population base.  Just saying...

Official population is more like 440k for Omaha & 143k for Syracuse....

I really hope the local media challenges them on this topic during their press conferences.

Agree... I don't know why people are so offended by this. I don't know if the Cuse kid meant it as an insult... he may have simply stated what he thought about when he heard they were going to Nebraska. And for those that took it as an insult... if you're insecure about living in a state with a low population, why don't you leave?

Actually, most of Nebraska is far from flat.  Aside from river valleys (especially the Platte), the primary flat area is just west of Lancaster County.  Rural Nebraska is, in reality, a vast and beautiful area with lots of variety and great people.

And most city folk don’t distinguish between a farm and a ranch.

[Tallbaby21]

We are flat and full of farms no shame in that. The problem is comparing us to *shudder* Missouri. 

[AuroranHusker]

The Orange supporters will find out soon enough that there is, in fact, running water in the heartland. And even a skyscraper or two.

Just wait till dey get here and they have to eat dem dang gone taters with der hands.  That'll be right after we head out dat dere back door and cut the chickens head off fer supper.

Anybody that believes that Nebraska is nothing but flatland and farms has clearly never been to Nebraska.

OR Missouri regarding farms. Last time I was there it was littered with K-Mart sized stores that sold nothing but guns, fireworks, booze & porn.

I am sorry but this state is just beautiful.  Don't care what anybody says.

Remember when Lincoln hosted one of the regionals for the 1988 NCAA Tournament at the Bob?  The Xavier coach was not happy about being placed in the Lincoln regional where he said, "they don't have anything but corn fields and 7-11's."  

 

I went to that game, where they played Danny Manning's Kansas Jayhawks.  I remember the second the Xavier team set foot on the floor the Devaney Center erupted with a thunderous "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

[jimmykc]

Xavier practiced that year in the Pius gymn.

[Silverbacked1]

I was one of the ones booooooooooing.

 

Also remember was way up at the top for the first two games and this very drunk KU fan came straggering up the steps and kept shouting and pointing at everybody as he goes up the stairs "YOU A HAWKS FAN?  YOU FUCKING ARE NOW!" 

 

 

[Chad A]

Wait, Missouri is flat?

Yes, that's right!  Being a student there at the time, I got to watch them practice because there was a blood drive going on at that day and I was on the stage adjoining the basketball court giving blood.   I mean, whatever gets you out of class, right?

"Nebraskans backed KU that week partly because of Big Eight loyalty, partly because 11th-seeded Xavier thumbed its nose at the locals on Selection Sunday. “Where is Lincoln, Nebraska?” Musketeers guard Michael Davenport told reporters. “Is there anybody in Lincoln, Nebraska? Maybe they’re shipping people in.” A Cincinnati columnist doubled down, calling Lincoln “Siberia with 7-Elevens.” (Do your research: It’s Casey’s General Store.) No wonder Nebraskans booed Xavier from start to finish, even waving KU pompoms. The Jayhawks routed the Musketeers, 85-72."

An excited utterance from a college kid should not be a reason to get your panties in a bunch.

There a lots of legit reasons to not like Syracuse starting with their head coach JoePa Jim Boeheim.
