Gooooo Biiiiigggg Deeeaaaaddddd

An NU Regent took a moment to suggest that Husker fans could be interred under Memorial Stadium.  I took over an hour to discuss every conceivable angle to this fantastic idea.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Scott Vordy Omaha Regent Barb Whites said, quote, I, as a regent,
am committed to finding new sources ofrevenue. I already told everybody about
my idea of a columbarium under aMemorial Stadium, and they kind of laughed

(00:21):
it off. And then Omaha WorldHerald, the Lincoln Journal, Star is
all the same newspaper met up withher after the meeting and said, are
you serious. She's like, oh, yeah, absolutely. Why can't we
do this? We could sell spotswithin a proposed columbarium. Lucy, do

(00:44):
you know what a columbarium is?Would that be when they just roll you
up inside of a column? Well, cause, if you're super skinny,
you could do the goalpost a columbarium. Yes, Oh, that's a good
place. A columbarium is basically aroom that has funeral earns in it.

(01:07):
You want your final resting place tobe Memorial Stadium. You could pay for
the ability to put you or aloved one somewhere under tom osburn Field at
Memorial Stadium. Where do you wantto be? You wanted to see this
is what I was going to dowith the song. You want to be
at the fifty You want to beat the thirty five. Yeah, somewhere

(01:29):
in the stretch where Lyle Bremser wouldyell, he's all the way home.
Somewhere down there on You could havean entire family on the route that Johnny
the jet Rogers took in that historicpunt return against Oklahoma. You can all
be right there along that line he'sat the forty thirty five, thirty twenty

(01:51):
five. You know you could beright there. Your whole family could be
under that part of Memorial Stadium.How awesome is this idea? Why are
we doing this? In fact?You know what else? I want to
see that tombstones? I want tosee, No, I want the pizza.
I want to see raised tombstones there. Just a little extra defense.

(02:15):
Lord knows the black Shirts have neededit the last couple of years. Let's
have some tombstones there. Are yousuggesting that the university should make money off
of death? Why not? Whywould we not do this? Let's bury
people under Memorial Stadium. We couldmake a ton of money. Telling me
Husker fans wouldn't do that, youcould know they'll do it. You know,
you can hike up to your hikeup to your your seats in the

(02:38):
east end zone and then the dieon the way there and they could have
a burial service for you in thethird quarter to die there. Well,
no, you don't have to diethere, but I mean it could come
full circle in the same game.This is the best idea I've ever heard.
Thank you Barb White's Omaha region forsaying we should bury people under a

(03:00):
memorial stadium. Why not? Youcould bury them under Memorial Stadium. You
could you know, have like ayou know, like han solo and caston
carbonite, like right there on thewalls of the concourse. You could have
someone like propped up against the runsof stand like is he working? Oh

(03:21):
he's dead? Okay, sorry?You know you could you could fire dead
people out of T shirt cannons orthe hot dog cannons or something like that.
I mean, why not, let'slet's do this just a bunch of
earns under Memorial Stadium because if they'reall Husker fans and they come back and
haunt the place. Good luck OhioState, We'll have a great time though.

(03:45):
Good Luck Penned State, good LuckMichigan State. Good luck I'm running
out of states in the Big Ten. Any other states in the Big ten.
Did you say Oklahoma, Well,they're all in the old Big eight.
Oh. I could throw in OklahomaState, Iowa State, Kansas State.

(04:06):
But we're in the Big ten.Now. Oh yeah, go that
rout in the Big ten. Howmany teams in the Big ten? Then
we got sixteen now with the twoCalifornia teams coming. Yeah, it's still
but there's only ten of them arebig Okay? Fox News update next.
But when I was doing the wholething about Lyle calling Johnny the Jets incredible

(04:28):
kick return against Oklahoma, and Iwas saying that you could have your family
buried along that route, my brainsuddenly put up a flag, going,
are you sure that was in Lincoln. Wasn't that game in Norman? Fine?
It was in Norman. But youknow what, I'm not backing down
money talks. You want to beburied along Johnny the Jet Rogers famous kick

(04:53):
return against the Sooners. Then callup Barry Switzer, Bud will Wlkins,
whoever's running the place down there,Marcus Dupree, I don't know who's in
charge of Oklahoma. Call him up. Jamel is is this Jamel Holloway?
I want me and my family buriedunder the football field at Norman, Oklahoma,

(05:15):
along the pot return from Johnny theJet Rogers where he tore them loose
from their shoes. I can't continueto do the whole Lyle Bremser impersonation.
That tears my voice up pretty good, but I do appreciate this email from
the mog mog email scottikfab dot comand the Zonker's Custom Woods Inbox says that

(05:40):
was actually a pretty good invitation ofLyle Bremser. God, I miss Lyle.
Yes, he was the best.I was glad I grew up being
able to listen to him here onnews radio eleven ten KFAB a little bit.
I mean it was it was startingto transition to a couple of kids
named Kent and when I was akid, but I remember Lyle. Now

(06:08):
some emails regarding this idea by NuRegent Barb Whites saying I want to have
a columbarium under Memorial Stadium. Acolumbarium is basically a tomb. I want
to have a tomb under Memorial Stadiumwhere people can pay to have their urn
there. Now, this is aboutmaking money, and you're like, well,

(06:30):
I wasn't going to be cremated.I was going to be buried in
a casket. Can I have mycasket under there? No? No,
we could get like sixteen earns inthe space of your one casket. Now,
unless you want to pay for thespace of where we could actually have

(06:51):
sixteen different people pay for their earnsto be under there, tucks right.
You want to pay for all that? Fine, you want to put a
full scale a mausoleum somewhere under there? Absolutely, As Maureene points out in
the email, you could be inthe quote end zone unquote the end of

(07:15):
your life. They're in the endzone. Nicely done, Maureene, Thank
you very much. Yeah, howmany people do you think we could get
under there? I want to bein the tunnel and then I always want
a light at the end of it. Yes, Lucy, see now you're
thinking, you're thinking jokes. Youtook off that stupid hat you were wearing

(07:40):
earlier and you put on your thinkingcap. Lucy comes in here wearing one
of those like weird hats. It'sgot like a pineapple and a bird on
it. She has to duck downto get through the doorways, like what
are you doing? And she's like, this was my aunt's, you know.
One of those hats you put yourthinking cap on. You were thinking

(08:03):
out of the box. You're thinkingit's right underneath thinking cap, right with
your thinking cap. Yeah, youcould be in the tunnel and that'd be
a great place for you as HanSolo and carbonite striking the same pose.
I'm doing the pose on the radio. You get closer to the mic,

(08:26):
they can see it, how youknow, Like you know, like Lady
Gaga, put your paws up,little monsters, That's what Han Solo was
doing the original Lady Gaga Dancer.Is that where she got it from?
Probably? Have you ever seen someonewho has their refrigerator door as Han Solo

(08:50):
and cased in carbonite? I don'tknow people with that kind of money,
Oh I do. I don't knowfancy people like you do. I don't
remember if it's the refrigerator door,that's just on a wall somewhere. But
my big Star Wars fans, Jacksonand Tricia, they've got Han Solo and
carbonite in their house. Not weirdat all. And I don't know if

(09:13):
it's a facsimile or if they actuallyencase someone in carbonite. If you haven't
seen Star Wars, what do youthink? I mean, thanks for being
here, but rethink your life,all right, Steven says, I want
to be buried at the thirteen yardline. There's your eighties movie reference,

(09:35):
and I'm thinking what he goes Fridaythe thirteenth. Okay, it counts.
I guess it would make sense forme. I think to be at the
thirteen with the last name Vorhees,Jason Vorhees from Friday the thirteenth. He's
family, Jay put them a schettydown. It's a family reunion. None

(09:58):
of us are camp counsel. SoI could be at the thirteen yard line.
O. Every time we would lookat the little marker, we would
say I saw it. No,not saw. That's different, isn't it
is. It's a whole different setof movies. I wouldn't know, because
I don't see that trash I knoweither, do I? I once watched

(10:22):
and fast forward through a lot ofit, all the Friday the Thirteenth movies.
I went and rented them all whenI was down in Kansas City because
I seemed like I remember watching oneof them when I was a kid,
and some guy says to some boyin the movie, like, you don't
want to end up like that Vorhe'sboy, and I thought, I need

(10:43):
this from my radio show, andso I just watched and fast forwarded through
it trying to find couldn't find itanywhere. Couldn't find that line at all.
Did you ever find it? No? I even went online to a
Friday the thirteenth like fan page andsaid, does anyone know what movie this

(11:05):
line is in? I got acouple of ideas. I went to those
spots in the movie. It wasn'tthere, h whatever? Back to Memorial
Stadium. I wonder how much itwould cost it? Notes here in the
story in the Omaha World Herald inthe Lincoln Journal Star, a spot near
the fifty yard line or under theend zone would fetch a higher price than

(11:28):
other areas of the stadium. Andthen it says, you know, an
area with a forever view of thetunnel walk could go for a premium a
forever view of the tunnel walk.You know you're dead in there, right.
This isn't like buying your seat.This is like you're dead and buried

(11:50):
and in there you're I mean,it doesn't cost anything to come back as
an angel and float over a MemorialState or you know, go around on
the field and try and tackle youknow, members of the opposing team.
You know, a guy from Northwestern'srunning down seemingly tripped up by nothing like
what did the turf monster get him? Nope, that was a Husker angel.

(12:16):
That didn't cost anything. You cancome back kind of haunt in a
good way. Haunt doesn't have tobe bad Memorial Stadium for all of your
afterlife, which I think a lotof people would consider to be heaven,
not the last few seasons. Butthere's always room for optimism for this season.

(12:37):
But if you're buried under there,and I don't know that it's fair
to say, except for marketing's sake, have give your loved one a forever
view of the tunnel walk like hecan't see it. He did, but
still it's a nice thing. Andas long as you put that flowery language
on it, you could probably geta lot more money. So, yeah,

(12:58):
it would cost more to be atthe fifty, like who would be?
Well, we have to reserve aspot if he wants to be there.
I don't even want to say outloud the name, but you know
who I'm thinking of. Someday,millions of years from now, when this
legend of Nebraska football passes. Thereneeds to be a spot reserved at the
fifty for his eternal resting place.And it's gonna be a little tough during

(13:24):
the game when you get to midfield, but there needs to be an eternal
flame there as well, and that'sgonna be tough. You know, you're
you got a long crossing pattern acrossthe middle. You got to jump over
the eternal flame otherwise you get singed. It could be done, though,
there's a way to make this happen. If there's a will. There's a

(13:45):
way, and I think there needsto be a will. So there at
the fifty is that legend of thegame, and then you could be around
him or the end zones tunnel walkas Lucy suggests, that's great. There's
always a light at the end ofthe tunnel. The Huskers kind of need
that, m M. Right now, Well, it's before the season.

(14:09):
There's always a light at the endof the tunnel. Before the season.
I'm telling you, this is ouryear. Why not easy to say?
Don't we say that every year?Yes? And I know some years were
right. And the dumb thing isis I still I honestly feel that way.
I think Nebraska is going to reallysurprise a lot of people. This

(14:33):
is this is our year, andI honestly feel that way because I am
a fan. You ever hear thesefans are like, I don't know if
we're gonna win six games this year. Like, you're not even a fan.
We should kill them and bury themat a memorial stadium. Ooh,
that's another fun way to do this. You got that black sheep member of
your family that's like, I'm aHawkeyes fan, Like you grew up in

(14:58):
Skyler. You're not not even thatclose to Iowa. They're probably dating somebody
from Iowa. Yeah, like youjust chose, like I want to be
an Iowa fan just to be different. We're gonna bury you Memorial Stadium.
I don't want to be buried ofMemorial Staium. Well you better, you
better act up, You better youcheer for the home team, scarlet Cream.

(15:20):
Otherwise we're burying you in the stadium, and not even a good spot
in the stadium, like somewhere underneaththe press box where all those fat radio
guys and journalists are in there justeating chili dogs. You'll be up there
with those guys. I don't wantto be in a room with a whole
bunch of guys eating chili dogs.Fat journalists eating chili dogs up there.

(15:43):
There's been a lot of response tothis on Twitter, as you might imagine
the idea of making Memorial Stadium aspace where under the field you could have
rows and rows of urns of peoplehave paid to have their final resting place
Memorial Stadium. Someone said if thiswere implemented before selling alcohol at the stadium,

(16:06):
I think I'd have a stroke,and another person says, there is
no resting place like Nebraska. That'sgood, people, This is why we
have Twitter. Yes, every oncein a while someone actually posts something worth
while on there. Delana says,sorry, all that comes to my mind

(16:30):
is Poltergeist and I'm never going toa game when that starts. Well,
we'll know that the bodies are there. It's not like you move the headstones,
but you didn't move the bodies.You just move the headstones. But
think about it, how proud wouldyou be as a Husker fan if your

(16:53):
daughter Caroline got sucked into Husker visionand suddenly you look up there and there
she is al a costume Husker fishing. You better have a streaming app for
the run towards the north end zone, Caroline, I don't know what's currently
under a memorial stadium Jimmy Hoffa.No, that's it. That's it,

(17:17):
the old the Meadowlands, I think. Yes, Yeah, they brought haff
at Rosenblatt. It was a prettycool place. That is the That is
the best way I think that I'veever found too. If you have someone

(17:37):
that no one ever needs to seeagain and no one's going to miss,
and like, aren't they pouring thefoundation for a football stadium over there?
Yeah? No, we know somepeople over there with the Concrete Poorers Union
one oh one. This I thinkthis problem solved. I saw a Cold
Case episode once where they mom peoplethey have the technology where they can seemingly

(18:03):
like do some sort of sonar thingand see if there are people in some
of these you know what, letit go now that I mean, it's
easy for me to say. Now, if you're a member of the Haffa
family, perhaps you think differently,But honestly, would anyone know who Jimmy
Hoffa was if if we knew wherehe was, No, the fact that

(18:29):
we don't know where he is justmakes that legend so much better. Would
Jack Nicholson have ever played the Teamstersunion boss in a movie about him?
If they knew where he was,if they'd rubbed him out and they'd found
him, like on a riverbank somewhere, it'd been like I found Haffa.
Should we make a movie about it? Eh? He's right here. This

(18:52):
is pretty easy one, you know. No, the idea is for no
one to ever find your boss.That's amazing. But currently I don't know
what's under Memorial stadiums. What Ithink I was saying, there's got to
be something under there, right tunnels, Yeah, but for what? H
who knows is there? Someone knowslikely got everyone listening to this radio station.

(19:21):
In spite of everything we're doing hereon the radio station, what is
under Memorial stadium? Jim Rowse wouldact like he knows he saw yelling at
the radio right now. Well,I don't know if he's yelling at the
radio, But knowing Jim, he'syelling, that's just his regular talking voice.
Someone knows what's currently under a Memorialstadium, which does present a couple

(19:47):
of problems. One presuming that there'ssome sort of room, tunnels, something
that's already under there. Well,then it's there for a reason, and
we can't have whoever's down there workingon the pipe sprinkler system, you know
whatever. We can't have that.So like, oh, you got to
step around you know old you knowDoc Roberts over here. That's where that's

(20:10):
where his tomb ors earn, orhis little mausoleum, or his shoe box,
you know, his remains in there. Footballs. Yeah, that's oh
my gosh, football shaped earns.Lucy, you're on fire today. Lucy
wanted to be in the tunnel becausethere's always a light at the end of
it. And then she's just cameup with football shaped earned. No,

(20:32):
you would use real footballs. Yeah, well you split it open. Footballs
are football shaped. But yeah putthe ashes in. Yes, yes,
somebody gets sent to get some newfootballs for the guests. They don't realize.
Oh and for those who are TomBrady fans, their football shaped urn

(20:55):
can be a little more deflated thanthe other ones. Well, now,
why do you have to do thatto Tom? I don't know, asked
the Indianapolis Colts. They never gotover it. We've got this all figured
out now. Well, except forif you already have tunnels under there,
it's presumably because they got they're doingstuff under there, and suddenly started putting

(21:18):
urns under there. Yeah. Imean they've got an old pipe organ with
bones, and they've got the world'smost cool water slide ever and whatever else
is under there. Yeah, yougot all that stuff. You have booty
traps, booby traps. That's whyI said booty traps. You got all
that stuff under there. Ope,it's not a deposit bottle. And uh,

(21:41):
there are people working down there.So if you've got a bunch of
urns down there, not only wouldit be in the way, it'd also
be spooky. And let's not ruleout the spooky factor. But if there
aren't really like if there's not abig space under Memorial Stadium to put all
of these urns, then you're gonnahave to dig a big hole under a

(22:03):
Memorial Stadium, which means we're gonnabe playing Michigan. I don't know who
our home games are this year withoutlooking at a schedule, and I don't
have a schedule in it. Sowe're playing Michigan. And then thanks to
all that money we made by puttingthe erms the urns arms, it's a

(22:26):
big arm, big worm. Haveyou been watching TV with the captions closed
captioning on? You know, youknow what I haven't been doing, sleeping.
We're gonna have a big tomb underthe field where all the urns are,
and it's gonna make a whole bunchof money, but it's not gonna
be properly reinforced. So we're gonnabe playing Michigan at Memorial Stadium. Of

(22:48):
course, Nebraska is gonna be runningtowards the end zone and then what's gonna
happen, sinkhole. The whole fieldis just gonna fall down. Gone,
it all just just falls into theearth. People will be clinging to the
side. Well yes, well yeah, except without the explosives, but yeah,

(23:10):
you know it'd be like yeah,and Bane will be watching over Batman.
Batman should not have put a tombunder the field. Batman the penguin
that smart. That's uh, Iget the burgess, Meredith, that's a
little different. Yeah, we're gonnahave the field sink. It's just gonna

(23:33):
fall. Everyone's gonna fall into theearth. And then when they finally come
to and look around, it isgonna be like goonies. It'll be like
bones, urns like h They're like, they're gonna they're gonna crash into the
football shaped urns. They're gonna bustopen like the pods an alien and they
like the you know, they'd belike dust, you know, from ashes

(23:56):
and ashes to dust to dust allover the place. And football players are
gonna be like like, ah,I got it in my mouth. I
got it in my mouth, inmy eyes. You know, they have
dead dust. They have dead dustin their nose. Where did the bones
come from? You just mentioned deadpeople? But they're burned, maybe not
cremated. I mean, maybe youdon't want to be cremated. I think

(24:17):
there are some people who take exceptionto that. Maybe some religious circumstances would
be such that, like I'm notgonna I don't even go outside and get
a tan. That's how against burningthis skin and this flesh, this body
that I am. So I wearoven mets when I get stuff out of
the microwave. None of this canbe burned. And so their bodies would

(24:41):
just be there, just like sittingin a stadium seat, just decomposing over
time. And then wow, thefootball field getting really dark. Now this
is cool, and the football fieldcaves in. Next thing, you know
bones, the boneyard, the studentsection where the where the student you know
where where the students are shut up. You know the student section called the

(25:03):
boneyard. They'll be literally throwing thebones in the boneyard here as we're going
to have a cemetery under the boneyard. This is the greatest idea I've ever
heard. I love everything about this. Why are we doing this? Is
anyone currently tunneling and creating a spacefor this columbarium under Memorial Stadium? Why

(25:25):
aren't we doing this? How manypeople can you get under there? Because
not only because you're thinking like,well, let's see if an urn is
football shape, I mean, that'sa lot. But then you're you're missing
the opportunity to dig a little deeperand start stacking people like the catacombs.
Like the catacombs the corner combs.Nicely done. Thank you, We are

(25:51):
creating the corner cone. I can'tlet you have all the fun here.
Let's read some emails here. Idon't know about that email right now.
Someone to send me an email likeis he talking about mine? I'll read
it. Scott says, the mushroomgarden is under the east stands the old

(26:12):
cinder indoor track. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. But is it
under the field though, under theEast stand, under the East stadium,
Well, that would still be aboveground. No, under you know what
under means. It's a preposition.You said, under the stand, under

(26:36):
the stands, under the seats,so the seats stilt up. Well okay,
all right, I see what you'resaying. Could be under the stands
and above the ground. That's wherepeople are making out during the PEP rally.
Are we on the same page now? Yes? This email from MJ

(27:00):
says my first mental image is atree planter taking plugs out of the field
and burying people standing up, handdown, you go proop. That's awesome,
Thank you, MJ. Scottikfab dotcom, Zonker's custom Woods inbox.
I asked what's under the stadium now, Joel says, dirt? Thank you.

(27:23):
Joel Russell says, I'd like myfinal resting place in section twenty three,
where my parents had season tickets.I saw Gail Sayers run from the
south end zone. Now see that'sa nice memory. There's someone taking this
seriously and not gooping around with itlike you are. Yeah, that's correct.

(27:48):
Yeah, David says, so Isee thirty one Palestinian protesters will be
let out of jail based on lackof evidence. Out of curiosity, how
many people from January sixth are stilllocked up? Not on topic, but
I thought the exact same thing whenFox News gave us that update. Brad

(28:10):
says, I love Donald Sutherland andAnimal House. He had the cutest little
butt. I don't record. Isclearly just reading emails without previewing them.
Yeah, there's a scene at AnimalHouse where Donald Sutherland, the old,
the old hippie professor who's got arelationship going with student Karen Allen, is

(28:33):
walking around with no pants on weirdstuff. Yeah, Donald Sutherland died.
Who is either from Animal House orfather of Keefer Sutherland, depending on your
generational perspective. No vision of thebody snatchers. One of the greatest scenes

(28:55):
in movies is when that woman's comingup to him from the park in the
park and he just points at itwith his mouth gaping open, body snotches.
I haven't seen that. Oh youneed to. It is so bad.
I was reading. I was readingabout Donald Sutherland the other day,
and I love some of these quotes. He said that like his first line

(29:17):
in a movie, like he wasgiven a part. It's kind of just
like a background player in the DirtyDozen. Like he wasn't part of the
Dirty Dozen. There was another actorwho was. And because of the sensitivities
of the time, this role calledfor him to impersonate a general, and
the actor said, I won't doit because it was a different time,

(29:38):
you know, like people look atme in a movie and they think that's
real life. And I don't wantto, even in movie form, impersonate
a general. It's just wrong.I won't do it. And so the
director looked at Donald Sutherland says,you with the big ears, come here.
And that's how Donald Sutherland got tobe a bigger part in that movie.

(30:00):
But Donald Sutherland always had a toughtime being cast because he just looks
so sinister and he didn't always wantto play like bad guy roles. And
he said, I asked my momonce when I was a kid if I
was attractive. My mom said,well, your face has a lot of
character. His mom said that,yes, she's a bad mom. Bad

(30:25):
mom, right, I don't know, maybe she's a great mom. She's
right. And uh, one directorsaid, as he was applying for this
role. He was trying to becast in this movie, and they said,
well, this role calls for aguy to kind of have a boy
next door look, and you don'tlook like you've lived next door to anyone,

(30:47):
not anybody living, right. DonaldSutherland was something else. Man working
up until like Tuesday. I thinkyou know he's in his late eighties.
Eighty eight, Yeah, still working, all right, we have any more?
Oh, a few more emails aboutMemorial Stadium and the possibility of putting

(31:11):
dead bodies under the field. Tomemails and I got to back away from
the microphone to do this one toread this email properly. Tom emails and
says, go big Day, Ilove it, Go big dad. What

(31:32):
are we going to release when theymake a test up? Yeah, we're
gonna release spirits. Steve. Yeah, Steve's got the wrong idea about this.
We're talking about people in earns underthe field in a columbarium. He's

(31:55):
suggesting that there might be a concessionsway of doing this with soilent green.
It'd belent soilet big red. Ithink red soilent scarlet. That's hard to
say, soilent scarlet. Soilet greenis Husker fans it's Husker fans. Kyle

(32:16):
asks, is there a discount ifyou die at the stadium? And are
the rates based on the win lossrecord? Like if the Huskers are having
a down year, and you'd belike, I want to negotiate. It's
sliding skin. Mom wants to beat the twenty five yard line. But
you know, I see that therate is this now that was at the

(32:37):
start of the season when optimism abounds. All right, now the Huskers are
having a bad year. This wasa year or two ago, not this
coming season. So we're going tonegotiate on this rate based on Or what
if you are a guy who lovesfootball and your wife hates football and gives
you a hard time about watching footballall the time, and then, sadly,

(33:00):
logically awful, she dies. Yeah, you bury her there. I
wanted to be with you always,Chris says. Chris says, I want
my remains scattered around Memorial Stadium andI do not want to be cremated.
Scott Byes News Radio eleven ten kFA. I see a lot of people

(33:27):
enjoyed our potential of Carol Anne beingsucked into Husker vision. Regarding the poultergeist,
like scenario. Yeah, Wyatt emailsall Caps game ball earn. You
know the idea that Lucy had offootball shaped earn or just football earns.
You could be sewn up in thepig skin and that could be planted under

(33:52):
the field. That's fantastic. Joeand Wyoming, thanks for listening to us
via iHeartRadio, says Scott. Iwant my ashes low it into a fireworks
launcher and exploded over the stadium ata night game so I can always be
a part of the whole area.Fans will inhale me and I will live
on. I will pay well forthis, Signed Joe and Wyoming, Wyoming

(34:16):
unl grad, Go big Red Joe, thanks a lot, Thanks a lot
for the email. Go big deadall right, am I have I exhausted
all the emails? Oh? No, last one. I think this will
be the last one. Pat,excellent point here if you have. I

(34:42):
don't think it's unreasonable to suggest wecould get thousands of people if we pack
them in and we stack them likethe catacombs. We could get thousands of
people there under the stadium. We'reusing the field, we're using under the
stadium the seats were using like youcould be encased in concrete in the concourse.

(35:04):
You could be in the rafters overthe concession stand, you could be
in the bathroom. I mean there'sarea anywhere. And Pat says guaranteed forever
sell out. Yeah, capacity ofMemorial Stadium. We have one hundred and
twenty seven thousand people at today's game. You're looking around going all down there,

(35:28):
right, Scott Boys News Radio,eleven KFAB. I honestly think when
I come back from each of thesetimeouts, words from our sponsors and so
forth, I'm going to talk aboutsomething else, and I just get sucked
right back into this conversation. Foranyone who cares program Note, I'd mentioned
earlier this week that I will begone all next week. I will not

(35:51):
be gone all next week. I'llbe gone next Wednesday through Friday of next
week. So I'll be in hereMonday and Tuesday from nine to eleven.
Yay said. No One Mark emailsand wants to know if that's Lucy singing
the Tom and Ron song. Iwish it was. I don't have a

(36:14):
great singing voice. You do,And maybe we should do a karaoke Friday.
We could do the Tom and Ronsong. We could do my still
my all time favorite singing jingle commercialof anyone who's ever been on this radio
station is the Dingman's Collision Center Christmassong. Oh yeah you do, there's

(36:37):
no time like Christmas have seen youin such a long time. Oh that
classic like eighties hairband rocker guy.I'm kind of partial to the Soul Jesus.
Oh yeah, Soul Jesus where theysaid storm chasers, but it sounded
the Lucy like Soul Jesus and Iwas never able to unhear it. I

(37:00):
even had a dance move with it. With Soul Jesus, that's my favorite
Soul Jesus. Yes, yeah,that has some good karaoke Friday there we
did it. Talked a lot aboutpeople being interred in a columbarium, a
tomb with urns that Lucy said shouldbe footballs with the ashes inside under Memorial

(37:23):
Stadium as a way to make moneybecause you know, the Nebraska athletic program
just swimming in debt, right,there's no money coming in. How can
we make more money? I loveit well with nil. We got to
pay these players now, oh right, we need some more cash. We

(37:45):
need a lot of care. Youwant better players, then die and get
yourself under the forty yard line.We could have a new Yeah, we'll
design an add it'll say better burialsmeans better players. Now see, I
don't know that you've ever had morebrilliance in one show than you've had today.

(38:08):
I might not have on a topicthat I've said four times this morning,
I was done talking about, butI just thought of something else.
Okay, maybe we'll get better players, but I think we probably have some
people either not come to Nebraska toplay, either for Nebraska or even an
opposing teams, and we might notget players here. And the reason why

(38:29):
is there are probably other people outthere like me. When I go to
a cemetery, go visit loved ones, or you see who I could dig
up, maybe you know, startsome old fashioned grave robbing. I don't
like to step on the area wherethere is a person directly under my feet.

(38:52):
I go around. I'm respectful enoughnot to step over the I'll still
dig them up and rifle through theirpockets, but I don't like to step
over the area where the people areburied. So you're running down the field,
you're stepping all over ghostly landmines ofurns. Not if we bury them

(39:16):
in the formation of the best playsor the worst places. Yeah, well,
you'd still because if you bury himin the formation of the worst possible
plays, then that you'll never beon No, no, no, no,
it's just it'd be impossible. You'reall over now, you just show
that you don't know anything about football. You'd be all over the field.

(39:37):
You'd be stepping on somebody. I'mtelling you bury him informations. I'd be
weirded out about it. Yeah.Put me down there at the one yard
line in the formation my whole family, in the formation of the fumble Rouskie,
which will now be explained to usby Lucy Chapman. Lucy the fumble

(39:59):
Rouskie. Please. That was whenthis one guy was running and he tried
to and then he caught it behindhis back. No, that was Jordan
Westercamp. He's amazing. Yes,the fumble Ruski was a Russian war general.

(40:20):
Did he play for us? Yes? There was a really nice funeral
this week in Maine. You've heardstories like this before. I don't care.
I'm going to tell you about thisone because I think all the times
that this happens, every time ithappens as special. The funeral home posted

(40:40):
a notice saying, Jerry Brooks justdied alone at a nursing home in Maine,
abandoned. No one ever come tovisit him. We'd have no idea
if he had family. We don'tthink so he's gone and pretty much forgotten.
So we posted a notice asking ifanyone would simply attend his burial,

(41:05):
if you want to be a pallbearer. I mean literally, he has no
one. No one ever visited him, no friends, no family. They
had to turn volunteers away to serveas a pallbearer. They still came to
the burial. A bagpiper came forwardto play at the service. A pilot

(41:27):
performed a flyover. Military groups acrossthe state pledged a proper sendoff. Hundreds
of people who knew nothing about eightysix year old Jerry Brooks beyond his name,
showed up on a sweltering afternoon.It's hot right now in Maine.
I've only been to Maine one timeand it was at about this time of
year a few years back. Guesswhat it was hot? And they said

(41:52):
at the time, like, wow, I've never been this hot. It's
all it's summertime. Yeah, butwe're in Maine. Eh, you pull
the boiled lobsters right out of thelake. It's great. So anyway,
they came up on a swell trainafternoon in Maine and gave Jerry Brooks a
final salute with full military honors atthe Main Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Augusta,

(42:19):
Augusta, Maine. Patriot Guard riderson motorcycle escorted his heart on the forty
mile route from the funeral home inBelfast, Maine to the cemetery. Members
of the VFW paid tribute with atwenty one gun salute. Volunteers held American
flags next to the casket while acrane hoisted a huge flag above the cemetery
entrance. Some saluted while filing by. Others sang the hymn of the United

(42:45):
States Marines. So who was thisguy? Widowed, lived in Augusta.
Died on May eighteenth, less thana week after entering a nursing home.
Cause of death not not released.Eighty six years old. Funeral home and
authorities reached out to his next ofkin, but no one was willing to

(43:06):
come forward or take responsibility for hisbody. The I guess he had two
family members at the funeral, butthey didn't want to speak during the service.
I can't help but wonder like,well, maybe we paid tribute to
the wrong guy. Maybe he wasterrible. That's what I was thinking.

(43:28):
I know everyone was thinking it.I said it out loud. I ruined
a great story. I'm sorry.If he could see all of this going
on, he was probably up therelooking down saying, you're still not kidding.
Nothing. Doesn't sound like he hadnothing. I'll turn it so then
they won't get anything. I'll turnit back around here and show that at

(43:49):
least those at the Bread of LifeShelter and Augusta thought he was a wonderful
guy. He came every day toeat at the Soup kitchen, make dad
jokes, make everyone smile, getfavorite table, and they said he was
a really great guy to have around. He was part of our family here
at the soup kitchen. Oh no, that's sad. And he couldn't get

(44:09):
any of his family to come tohis funeral. Well, you know,
sometimes people just don't have family thathe had two people that were related to
Jim. You said that showed up, yep, And one of them was
the granddaughter and a son in law. That's very nice for them. Maybe

(44:31):
they just couldn't afford to bury himand they just kept quiet. So now
that's that's the best way of segueingfrom the internment of Husker fans under the
field too military, which now getsus into the latest sign that World War
three is nigh. I'll tell younext. Scott voices News Radio eleven to

(44:55):
ten Kfaby. I think some peoplein the Zonkers the custom was Inboxer going
to absolutely have an aneurysm if Idon't point out that Donald Sutherland was also
odd ball in Kelly's Heroes and Scott, don't you love that movie? I've
never seen it, Sorry, butare I pointed it out. Donald Sutherland
passed yesterday at the age of eightyeight. Donald Sutherland also played Smalls in

(45:19):
the movie The Sandlot. A lotof people don't know that he could play
any character, including young kids,when he was a very old man.
Actually, I bring that up becausethe kid who played Smalls in the movie
The Sandlot just is now accused ofthrowing a thirty five pound dumbball weight through
his neighbor's jeep's windshield. When policecame by, he seemed to be like

(45:42):
it was an accident. I'm sorry, man, I'll pay for that.
I'll get you back, is whatis said on the police report for actor
Thomas Geary, who played Smalls inThe Sandlot, the quote being you're killing
me Smalls. I've heard that.Yeah, what's her face pickle Horn or

(46:04):
whatever. What was the name ofthe girl, the lifeguard girl in that
movie, Amanda Peppercorn or something likethat. She's fine, don't worry.
She was not hurt in this incident. All right. The latest story here
of the potential end of the worldhas to do with that meeting between Putin
and Kim Jong un where they're drivingaround in the limousine and being all buddy

(46:27):
buddy and hanging out. Well,guess who didn't like it. The whole
rest of the world, specifically SouthKorea said, you know, it looks
like you guys are forming a partnership. North Korea wants to kill us.
Russia has the ability to help themdo that, so we might have to
rethink our policy against selling reliable weaponsto Ukraine. Russia says, if you

(46:53):
start selling weapons to Ukraine, wewill kill you. Korea fired back,
do it, Russia said we will. South Korea said, fine, or
at least some sort of diplomatic versionof that. So that sounds like fun,

(47:16):
doesn't it. Who wants to getback into Korea? Here in Nebraska,
some people think the end of theworld might have to do with an
adult website saying we're going to cutoff Nebraskans because we have a new law
requiring adult websites to have you showyour ID to the website when accessing the

(47:37):
material on the site. I knowmost of you just read the articles porn
Hub said, We're not going todo that. We're gonna We're just not
going to allow people in Nebraska towatch this. Governor Pillen said, fine,
do it. Yeah, that mightbe the end of the world for
you. I understand that there area few other sites out there that offer

(47:59):
those things. Scott Voy's Mornings nineto eleven, Our News Radio eleven ten KFAB
