Will Big Ten change logo for Nebraska?

kim — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 17:11:41 +0000

When the Big Ten union was founded in 1896, there was obviously ten universities involved. When Penn State was added in 1990 to make eleven teams involved, the Big Ten didn’t change their name, but instead changed their logo to include the number “11″. Now that Nebraska is officially part of the Big Ten, will they revamp their logo to include the number “12″? These are things that advertising/marketing people like me think about. Check out more logos with hidden messages. Interesting read.

Ndamukong Suh is Heisman finalist!

kim — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 03:12:25 +0000

I think my friend’s Facebook status sums up Saturday’s Big 12 championship game…

We had a lot of fun, even though the last second of the game was the worst second of the game. And the stadium was super awesome!

Facebook has been buzzing with angry Nebraska fans after Texas was awarded an extra second which won them the game, 13-12. But as my grandmother always says, we “can’t stay mad, gotta get glad” and the following announcement is having us all happy…

The Lincoln Journal Star reported today that Ndamukong Suh is a Heisman trophy finalist and invited to the Heisman presentation in New York. The other finalists are…

Toby Gerhart, Stanford running back
Mark Ingram, Alabama running back
Tim Tebow, Florida quarterback
Colt McCoy, Texas quarterback

Go SUUUUUUHHHHH!!!!!

Raise Kids Right Here in Nebraska

kim — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 23:57:45 +0000

I saw on the Today Show this morning that both Omaha and Lincoln ranked in the Top Ten of the 100 best (and worst) places to raise kids. Cool, eh? Why, maybe this video for kids explains it, ha…

Hitler Reacts To Virginia Tech Beating Nebraska

So, the #19 Huskers fell to the #13 Virginia Tech Hokies in the final seconds of Saturday’s game (9/19/09) losing by one point 16-15. Definitely not a laughing matter for football fans, but you may get a chuckle out from this YouTube video – a parody of Adolf Hitler’s reaction to Nebraska getting beat.

85,831 Facebook Fans For The Huskers

kim — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 16:44:03 +0000

Ethan Rowley (no relation) is a marketing associate for the Nebraska Athletic Department and would like assistance in helping connect all Husker fans…

We are currently in our second month of our “85,831 Facebook Fans For The Huskers” mission in which we are trying to gain that many fans for our official Facebook Fan Page by the first football game on September 5 vs. Florida Atlantic. Why 85,831? Because that is the Memorial Stadium attendance record set last year vs. Virginia Tech – so we know we have at least that many fans out there.

How can you show your support? Join the Official University of Nebraska Athletics Facebook Fan Page! I already did! Friend me up (Kim Rowley) while you’re there!

It’s A Smoke-Free Nebraska!

kim — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 21:52:15 +0000

Yesterday was World No Tobacco Day, and today Nebraska’s Clean Indoor Air Act goes into effect! The law bans smoking in all public places and businesses except cigar bars and 20% of hotel rooms. Yippee! Can you tell I’m a non-smoker? Sure the smokers are upset – I say it’s a good time for everyone to quit!

I posted on my Facebook page (are you my friend yet?) how excited I was for this day to come. Got some good commentary/feedback…

Kim: can’t wait until June 1st when Nebraska bars/restaurants will be smoke-free.

Mookie: Think of all the water people will save — no more post-bar showers to loufa the smoke off.

Christina: And there will be much rejoicing.

Amy: except for all the post- bar showers to loufa all the booze and sweat off!

Brent: They did that in Boston a bunch of years ago. It was the best thing that they could have done. No more going home stinking of cigarette smoke, and you can actually breath in the bar now.

Mookie: I don’t know Amy, I kinda like the booze-and-sweat combo. Sort of like a “marinade”.

Jay: But this may cause more people to quit smoking. Cigarette tax just went up by about a buck-and-a-half! Who’s gonna pay for the Economic Stimulus Package? Who’s gonna send all those bankers to Jamaica? Poor bankers.

Jay: I have an idea! Nebraska just implemented a new death penalty. Well, if second-hand smoke kills you, how about we put condemned criminals in little cages in bars, and let people smoke near them? Kill the convict, and entertainment for everyone, at no extra cost to the taxpayer! Jay for Governor!

Amy: LOL- Ewww!!! Marinade. Yuck. I’ll pass on being a sirloin thanks!

Jay: Plus all those unemployed loufas.

Amy: Poor loufas!

Kim: Wow, I finally go to take a shower for the day (yes I’ve been slacking off) so I can go out and get all smoky again tonight and come back to all these comments – you guys are too funny.

Dustie: dont like it… dont go!!!

Amy C: Emporia KS bars/restaurants went smoke-free a couple months ago….it is great!!!

Bonnie: Been smoke free here in MA for years, not too bad

What are your thoughts? Do you think smoking should be banned in all public places across the USA? Give your Opinion and you could win $400!

Shane Osborn’s Wife Alleges Physical Abuse

kim — Tue, 26 May 2009 22:24:53 +0000

Just heard on WOWT – Terry Osborn, wife of Shane Osborn, is alleging she’s been physically abused by Shane since they married in 2003. According court documents, nine days after Terry Osborn filed for divorce, she filed for a protection order saying she’s been the victim of physical and emotional abuse. Shane’s publicist said he is taking the higher road with no comment. And did they just say she’s already moved in with an old boyfriend? Hmmmm.

Shane Osborn, originally from Norfolk, Nebraska, gained recognition (along with heightening his arrogant ego) by being in the limelight when he was piloting the airplane in the Hainan Island incident. Shane is now Nebraska’s State Treasurer. Oh, and you may be owed money by the State of Nebraska - Search for Unclaimed Property. Damn, no moolah for me.

Nebraska No Longer Pwned

kim — Tue, 26 May 2009 13:28:10 +0000

Nebraska Motor Vehicles Director Beverly Neth now admits that the winning votes of the new Nebraska license plate were indeed hijacked. Investigation took place after the media asked for a review of the raw data of the survey. Turns out that CollegeHumor.com did the skew the results to make the black/white/red design the winner. After disqualifying the humor site votes, a new winner was announced – the even uglier meadowlark/goldenrod design won. The soap opera saga was fun while it lasted.
