Husker blackout?

Just got a chain email about doing a blackout at Saturdays game. Seems like a pretty sweet way to redeem the booing, I guess.

I'm in. Thoughts?

Jose Gonzalez - In Our Nature (A Review)

Jose Gonzalez, an Argentina-born Swedish folk musician who mixes some mad classical guitar picking with an eerie, yet soothing voice. Listen for just a couple minutes. Take note as your muscles lose tension and you sink into your chair...completely chilled the F out.

I first heard of Jose Gonzalez on Zero7's album, the Garden. I was immediately intrigued. Anyway, before I accidentally reveal my music ignorance, I'll stop.

I highly recommend you check him out... IF you're in the need for a good chill.

Oh my Ball State!!???

Don't think we're not ready.

Shameless Plug

Check out our newest creation over at HeavySoul, The Tunnel Walk. Brainchild of myself and GA Hill over there. We are planning on publishing every Thursday night/Friday morning before gamedays.

Also, since you fellow NP guys are so creative, I would love any submissions you might have once you see the style. Profanity is okay, always use "The Tunnel Walk" and "we" instead of "me" or "I", and length is not an issue. Let me know if you are interested, we want it to be as long and as irreverent as possible.

Let me know what you guys think and if you want to help out.

fyi, this isn't the work of the Onion. Although it could be. Easily.

From the NP blotter

No one ever saw Key Estates as a hotbed for intelligence, but this is ridiculous.

Did anyone realize that Hirschfeld's has been in business for 90 years?

Former NPHS Teacher Makes Triumphant Return

North Platte, NE (AP) Former North Platte High School teaching legend Pat Butera made a magnificent return to school grounds today. The long-time educator was spotted substitute teaching at a local middle school. Butera spent the day with local Madison Middle School 6th graders, filling in for absent teacher Dave Burns. TheRealNP was able to grab a quick 30 seconds with the rotund educator. "I just love teaching, "Butera explained between bites of his peanut-butter ritz cracker/kosher-dill pickle sandwitch. I'm excited to fill in here at Madison Middle school. It's been a while since I broke out the old pleated-front dress pants and plaid button up shirt." The day seemed go to pretty well, but Butera found himself slightly disappointed with Madison hospitality as the day ended. "I assumed that securing a substitute teaching gig meant that I could spend the night in the room on my portable mattress. But apparently they have regulations against that these days. They didn't even have a mini-fridge in the room. I had no place to store my 2-liter bottles of diet-caffeine-free coke and jars of Jiffy Peanut Butter." It is unclear whether Butera has come out of retirement for good, or if this is just a temporary break from his position at the front desk of local hotel/Ultimate Fighting sponsor--The Royal Colonial Inn.

(Butera would not agree to a photo for this story, citing "disappointment with not being at playing weight," as an excuse)

Here we go!

I'm speechless with excitement. Predictions, go.

Good Ad.

This is one of the more creatively written ads I've seen.

How good does this look?

Best moments in Schmigos History

I feel it is only fair to have a compilation of the best moments in Amigos history, since it has been a staple in many of our college (possibly daily) lives.

Allow me to start:
When Danny Whitney jumped on the counter at the one in Lincoln and claimed in his BEST BRAVEHEART voice:

"you may take my order, but you may never take... my freedom"

The Onion Radio News = hysterical

Kids, I've been subscribing to the Onion Podcast lately, or technically termed Onion Radio News. And let me tell you, they have led me to laugh hysterically at least once a day. I highly recommend you check some of them out. Here's one of my favorites:

New Cliff's -- A Review

The masses run from the shark infested water. Or shark waters, if you will.

If you have or haven't heard, the notorious Cliff's Lounge has moved locations and "upgraded" its digs. It's now located right next door to the watering hole. Well during my trip to Lincoln on Saturday, I had to see it for myself, and boy was I disappointed.

First of all, new Cliff's is nothing like the old. There's a dance floor with stripper pole right in the middle, the lighting is dark and "clubby," the TVs are way too fancy, etc. Basically, if you've ever been to Barker's Club 3 in Kearney, it's similar. But it's Cliff's, so it's a crock of sh** (not saying Barker's place is a POS, I actually think it's pretty nice, again, not Cliff's).

You have your textbook Cliffisms: the green balls, Kamakazes, Detco, but overall New Cliff's has completely disregarded the character of old. They're like Bob Dylan selling out to pop music. Crock.

There are two redeeming things about the new Cliff's. One awesome thing is that it's next door to the Watering Hole, and the Hole will deliver wings over to Cliff's. THAT is pretty awesome. And as always, a list of over 30 Kamakazees. That hasn't changed, and they still rock your balls off.

If anyone else has visited new Cliff's, I'd like to hear your thoughts. Or, if you have questions, please ask.

Joba Cements Role as Yank' in Near Beheading of Red Sock

Joba has been throwing some scorching heat up in the Big Apple and has earned himself a spot in the lineup and hearts of New York fans by nearly killing himself a Red Sock in his most recent outing. I think that the umpire probably had it right, that he was throwing at the guy. I've seen and heard him throw in many many college games and never has he gone at a guy's head twice in a row. I like the play though. It casts him well at his new club. I'm just glad that he didn't actually hit the guy, then he would have been an asshole. Now he's a victim and a hero.

NEW YORK -- Yankees rookie sensation Joba Chamberlain was suspended for two games and fined $1,000 Friday, a day after he threw two 98-99 mph pitches over the head of Boston's Kevin Youkilis.
