re: #73 teleskiguy

Unfortunately for me, the Denver Broncos will never go away.

For us, the Huskers won’t go away. Even though they play in Lincoln (400 miles away), this is Cornhuskers country.

The Huskers make bank on license plates here as well. Nebraska’s registration fees are complicated (a fee is assessed that is divided 50-50 between county and municipality based on vehicle weight, use, age, and value), plus a registration fee of $15 (required for any passenger car), plus about $8 in various other taxes, and $70 on top of that for Nebraska Husker specialty plates.

By comparison, for my car the charge is $5 total (Gold Star Family members get a break here).

I don’t have enough money to be a sportsball fan. That said, I just got six coupons to enter into the state lotto drawing for skybox seats at University of Nebraska at Lincoln for football season. (I wonder if I can sell them if I win.)
