December 3, 2011 Big Ten Championship

PressBox editor Kevin Heitz has put together 2011 season previews for his top 25 college football teams. See what ranking he gave the Nebraska Cornhuskers here.  Agree?

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.

12/04/10 – Big XII Championship Game

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!!!!!

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…

The String Beans, a childrens’ music band from Lincoln, Nebraska, teach you everything you need to know about their home state with this catchy tune. Although I think they forgot to mention the Nebraska Cornhuskers?

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.

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.

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.
