Tell me how nebraska is more boring than any other big 10 school/state

Expand  

Well now ... given that I'm originally from out there in them parts (but not NE) I took the liberty to make a joke.  Personally I'd say NE fit the B12 better and its all those other B10 places that are boring. I've flown over NE both south to north and east to west and have to say the western sand hills are beautiful in the spring when there's ample rain.

Q: Nebraska A: its a big boring state in the middle of the country.

 

what did I win? 

Expand  

You certainly don't win any great Omaha steaks or fresh farm food.

Bighorn Sheep to Sage Grouse. Open space to roam with great hunting and fishing.

No cheezy East Coast types or Californicators needed.

Now North Dakota...

You probably have your own lab made steak

Don’t they also have some sandwich that starts with a R? I was in Lincoln recently and they acted like it was some local legend or something.

Runza. Its pretty damn good. Also host Cws, husker game days are one of a kind, fishing is great, hunting is on point and the beer is ice cold .  What else could you ask for

Just looked up runza. Looks great. The name? Not so much. Makes me think if I eat it I will get the....

Runza seems a bit like a Cornish Pasty 

[Scouts Honor]

.. but the hamburger and cabbage.. mmm   then add cheese... even better

 

homemade runza's are better... 

 

yes they are similar to cornish pastry

[Scouts Honor]

its the same idea... just what's in it.

i mean.. a midwest calzone maybe even

[Scouts Honor]

my bro in law lives in oklahoma. he is from northern kansas. my sister in law introduced him to runza's when she brought him home to mama in college.

 

now we take them runza's for him and valentino's pizza for her, every time we visit.

One of my favorites.  Especially since best man in my wedding (and all his college friends) from NE, so I get to use it on occasion.

Haven't spent enough time in either place but generally I think I'd enjoy.  

For outside the US, some good choices have been 

1. Amman, Jordan

2. Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

3. Sofia, Bulgaria

4. Thun, Switzerland

 

All are sizable towns in their own right but aren't generally targeted as a tourist destination.  I can go there, experience new culture without being ripped off and without being surrounded by imbeciles all the time (people on vacation)

The highest point in Nebraska is 5,429ft.

Therefore, no, fishing is not great in Nebraska.
