58. 31-14 OU vs. Neb. 10/28/2000 OU beats #1 ranked Neb. on their way to the National Championship
59. Anytime in the 70s when OU beat Neb.


Note - These are not reasons why Texas is better than Nebraska, simply reasons why Nebraska sucks.

Well.. I see it differently. While Texas has some thing, Nebraska has others.

While Texas has culture, people, great cities, things to do, Nebraska has... corn.

Things ya probably didn’t know about Nebraska

1) We're not all farmers just like Texans sure as hell aren't all cowboys
2) Traffic isn't nearly as bad (as Texas)
3) We don't have to carry guns around to prove a point' (like Texans)
4) We carry insurance on our cars (unlike Texans)
5) We are humble not cocky (case in point this thread).
6) We're family focused and offer many things for families to do together.
7) Our schools are top notch Schools in Nebraska
8) The whole state isn't corrupt with BIG CITY-ness
9) There is a LOT of history in Nebraska but yall probably never learned anything but Texas history in school.
a)Arbor Day was founded in Nebraska
b)The Underground Railroad
c)The Mormon Trail
d)Native American history
e)Oregon Trail
10) The College World Series
11) Omaha Henry Dorley Zoo
12) Lower cost of living
13) Low crime rate
14) Mahoney State Park (http://www.ngpc.state.ne.us/parks/etm/etm1.html)
15) Fame Notable Nebraskans
a)Fred Astair (Omaha)
b)Marlon Brando (Omaha)
c)Warren Buffett (Omaha
d)Dick Cavett (Omaha)
e)Henry Fonda (Grand Island)
f)Bob Gibson (Omaha)
g)Malcolm X (Omaha)
h)Nick Nolte (Omaha)
i)Red Cloud
j)Johnny Carson (Norfolk)
16) Conagra
17) Mutual of Omaha
18) And YES, our corn rocks (ask my ex-fiancee)
19) The VICE President is from Nebraska
20) Omaha, Lincoln, Valentine (which is where a lot of people send their mail through on Valentine's day to get a stamp from the city named Valentine), Hastings, Scottsbluff, Grand Island, Norfolk
21) Fishing off the Platte River or tubing on it
22) We have good Mexican food here too (in some places) because our Latino Population is growing.
23) We have more trees in Omaha than Austin
24) We've got lakes, forrests, the plains (which can be desert like), Chimney Rock, AWESOME golf courses...

I’m sure I’ll think of more. However before you start dogging on a place you’ve never even LIVED in, know your facts. I’m sure we could all agree that when you visit a state as a tourist you often don’t get the true feel of the state.

oooo, hootie's gettin a little defensive.

just for clarification, this entire thread is to benefit docetboy, who got a little out of control in the GC IM chat group last night and started talkin trash.

Although, 9(a) isn't tooo convincing. Arbor Day? Cmon. You can't expect us gas-guzzling, SUV driving, gun toting, no insurance-having, endangered species endangering Texans to be impressed by that

Could it be because Texans have cars?
3) We don't have to carry guns around to prove a point' (like Texans)
Don't hate.
4) We carry insurance on our cars (unlike Texans)
For the 10 of you who own them, Farmers thanks you
5) We are humble not cocky (case in point this thread).
Humble? Well, you kind of have to be standing next to Texas
6) We're family focused and offer many things for families to do together.
And that means what exactly?
7) Our schools are top notch Schools in Nebraska
Uh, ever heard of Baylor, SMU, Rice, UT, Texas Tech. . .even our magnet schools kick butt. . .just ask Norah Jones
8) The whole state isn't corrupt with BIG CITY-ness
have you ever been to mexia? that is not BIG CITY
9) There is a LOT of history in Nebraska but yall probably never learned anything but Texas history in school.
Hell yeah, 7th grade. Next to Texas and the US, what else matters?
12) Lower cost of living
why would youu WANT to live there?
13) Low crime rate
is there anybody out there?
15) Fame
Notable Texans
the list is too long. . .it would take up half the thread
19) The VICE President is from Nebraska
so, the president is from Texas
22) We have good Mexican food here too (in some places) because our Latino Population is growing.
We've had a Latin population. . .catch up!

Hootie Says: That's a low blow. No he didn't marry anyone from Texas but if you'd like I could hook you up with him. From what I can see you two would make a wonderful couple

I think you got your lists confused. Willie Nelson belongs on the "things to be embarrassed about" list.

That's low. Sure, fight about which state is better but personal attacks are uncalled for.
