Nebraska was supposed to play Missouri 108 years ago today. Mizzou cancelled the game on November 6 due to the Spanish Flu and Nebraska scheduled Balloon School on 3 days notice.
Unrelated to football but I think also noteworthy: William Unzicker of 2517 Leavenworth Street was still wearing a pair of 35 year old gloves. Credit to the Omaha Bee for breaking that story the day after the Balloon School game
The finale of the brilliant historical sitcom Blackadder left many of us in tears. It remains just as powerful today, and so it should. Lest we forget.
Nebraska voted to re-elect Jim Pillen and Republicans who got a budget surplus and are now faced with a deficit.

Nebraska is a wild case study.
Nebraska Dem Chair Jane Kleeb receives constant national recognition despite a consistent string of failures.
Key issues:
- Dems’ main pitch to rural Nebraska voters is, “VOTE BLUE OR YER A BIGOT!”
- Dem activists regularly disparage rural or moderate political figures with whom they disagree. Guess what? Those figures have lots of family and friends. Every time a Dem makes an ugly post about a rural Republican, they’ve alienated three generations and an entire town.
- Low-level Dem electeds (state senators on down) are expected to be in lockstep with the Dem platform or else they’re shunned from the party. This kneecaps talented potential statewide candidates and creates a reliance on unproven, never-elected candidates for higher-level offices. Dan Osborn showed, once again, why that’s a bad idea.
There’s many, many more facets to this, but the main takeaway is Jane Kleeb is laughably bad at her job and has been for more than a decade.
Nebraska is the FIRST STATE NATIONWIDE with a constitution that protects girls’ and women’s sports.
Boys are boys. Girls are girls. Now, girls’ sports are for…

I’m so thankful to be part of this trailblazing team and to the voters of Nebraska for their support.
We did it!
