I mean come on!  We want one of our 8 wonders to be an excommunicated Catholic congregation that doesn't recognize Vatican II?  Does Nebraska have to suffer these kinds of indignities when choosing their 8 wonders???  Do they???  Christ!!!

The Nebraska top 8 goes something like this (not necessarily in this order):
Memorial Stadium
Memorial Stadium
Memorial Stadium
Memorial Stadium
Memorial Stadium
Memorial Stadium
5 National Championship trophies.
Tom Osborne

Fixed it for ya..

Aren't the five trophies, Tom Osborne and Memoral Stadium all in the same place?

You guys obviously haven't heard of Carhenge (http://www.carhenge.com/).  Treat yourselves to a little Nebraskan culture once in a while.

Stores in Kansas, Michigan and Pennsylvania are the number-one tourist attractions in their respective states, Callahan said. And 80 percent of the visitors to the Sidney store, which straddles Interstate 80, come from out of state. The store ranked in Nebraska's top five tourism draws in 2004, according to the Nebraska Division of Travel and Tourism.

I had an Anthropology professor at K-State that has been all around the world.  He said that the Flint Hills are one of the most beautiful sites he's ever seen.   :thumbsup:  F-You Nebraska sand hills.   :D

I just realized Cabela's claims to be a bigger tourist attraction than the Liberty Bell and Constitution Hall.

    Hey, basketball!!!
It's ok to be ignorant KitKatKid.

Oh snap.


And as for the "Big Well", it can still be on that list because it was almost the only thing that was left in Greensburg. :flush:

*Extremely embarrassed if I'm wrong.
