Surprising

There have been only 8 teams in major league history to have two ten or more game losing streaks. The 2006 Kansas City Royals have accomplished this before June 1st.

Michael Such, who is 6'3" and weighs 190 lbs, may be Nebraska's next punter. He will walk-on this fall from Allen High School in Texas. His punting average is 45 yards and he has been 1st or 2nd in a couple of punting clinics in hang time. This is in competition with over 300 other punters.

Did you know Hugh Hefner's mother was born in Holdrege, Nebraska?

Did you know this?
When Eliza Scuggs (1876-1908) was born in Orleans, Nebraska, she was severely disabled and never able to walk or care for herself. She wrote the first memoir written by an African American female. She had great religious faith and often preached and gave testimony in Nebraska black churches while held in the arms of her sister. Both her parents had been born into slavery, in North Carolina and in Alabama; and "Shadow and Sunshine" was a book that contains accounts of their lives in slavery, as well as other sketches of slave life, Eliza's account of her own life, and several poems and hymns on religious and temperance themes. A seminar on her brief life was held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1901; and this book was reissued by the University of Nebraska Press and has been published in full online.

That's funny right there. Thanks for the catch and thanks for being a good sport about my jokes.
