Flat, wind-swept, desolate countryside with a weird Capitol building.

Heard this from a Nebraskan. "The p@nis in the prairie"

 

[60's Guy]

The absolutely humungous corn stalks. Coaching summer basketball around this time of year in Kearney Nebraska driving by corn stalks 12-15 feet tall all closely planted together for miles. Easily twice as big in circumference and height as Minnesota corn.
And Nice people.

 

[BleedGopher]

Go Gophers!!

84-13

 

[STPGopher]

84-13

Sadly, that was my first thought as well.

 

[STPGopher]

No Trees.

I think of the time they use to have championships with all the girlfriend beaters and thugs.

Boring

Frost after another loss to the Gophers.

 

[Iceland12]

Irrelevant in the Big Ten since 2012. Could explain their fans penchant for living in the past?

[A_Slab_of_Bacon]

Good fans.

 

[USAF]

Who?

 

[GopherVotary]

Good Springsteen album.

I'm way old and when I think of Nebraska--at least in a football sense--Johnny Rodgers' 71-yard punt return is the first thing that comes to mind. Big play in one of the greatest college football games ever.

 

[MplsGopher]

Omaha is an overgrown Fargo/SF, and Lincoln is an overgrown Bismarck/Pierre. Rest of the state is literally nothing to see. At least Dakotas have some interesting stuff in the west.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

one of the more boring stretches of highway in the world. may be more boring than I-90 in South Dakota - and that's saying something.

 

[Rescooter]

Lived there for an internship. This sums it up:


Honestly, it's not for everyone (or anyone)

Lived in Minnesota for the first 21 years and have lived in Nebraska since. Southern 2/3 of the state is flat and pretty boring, lots of corn fields as mentioned. The sandhills of Nebraska, northwestern 1/4 of the state are a whole different view. A lot like western SD. I think Lincoln has a lot to offer. It has been a great place raise a family. Still a loyal gopher fan that is enjoying the recent success against the Huskers.

Lets hope their football team is into tanking Thursday night.

Drove both routes this summer on a driving trip to Reno, Nevada, and back. The jog down from 90 to 80 in Wyoming and the stretch of 80 through Wyoming is no prize either. Torturous drives.
