I’m thinking about a possible move to Omaha from Atlanta. What are the pros and cons?

Ah, that actually won't be all that bad coming from Papillion, that's a straight shot down 72nd street. Still quite a few traffic lights along the way though.

Of course, since Tulane football traditionally sucks, we looked at football games as cocktail parties.

I think why I despised Omaha, is its really not a good place to be a student. And, it was an especially acute culture shock after I spent 4 years in New Orleans and a semester at Oxford.

Oh, well I am so sorry we weren't good enough for you. But the way I look at it the less pretentious a-holes we have around here the better, so I'm glad you left and please don't bother to ever come back here.

And, you can hardly tell anything about your team in a mismatch like that. Its called being a bad winner, and I find it very telling that you can't recognize it as boorish behavior.

Oh JFC, you're basing your opinion of an entire fanbase over what one local news hack said? I think I'm done with you.

right now my commute is 45 min with plenty of lights, should it be about the same?

Not even close, should be about a 15-20 minute drive most times, maybe 20-25 during rush hour.

Of course not. I was in Nebraska for about a year and a half, but that anecdote captures what I found obnoxious about the rabid Nebraska fanbase. People there PRESUMED that everyone present just LOVED the Huskers.

And, its not a matter of "not being good enough,", mostly it was a lot of the attitudes I ran into there. There were many fun people that I knew in Nebraska, but also a lot of obnoxious idiots: like the fundamentalist christians who used to knock on my door trying to bring me to God about twice a month b/c I was the TA for an evolution course.

I heard Bo call the team soft after the first game last year and thy won by alot. I heard Bo say the team didn't play good when they beat Colorado too. He was right.

This looks like a done deal and I should be heading to Omaha this summer. Does anyone know of a good site to find a house to rent?
