For sure "Country Grammar" and "Air Force Ones." No. 3 is probably "Ride Wit Me."
But my pregame warmup music in high school always included "Heart of a Champion," and I can't believe nobody included that one. It always made me want to run through a brick wall in 2005.

Yes, you're 100% right on Peru State. They advertise that they're Nebraska's oldest continually operating university.

Especially if that person were also from Wynot, given how it got its name.

Then they gave up a kick return immediately after scoring on their own fourth and two. This game is amazing.

Then they returned the next kickoff for a TD and converted for two to take an 8-7 lead shortly before halftime. You're missing a classic in Iowa right now, @sickoscommittee.org.

Several years ago, my parents were in Paris and saw one of my brother's college professors at the same cafe. Both are from Omaha.

The radio edit of the theme song he recorded for "2 Fast, 2 Furious" -- which I'm pretty sure is called "Act a Fool" -- did some great work with sound effects as well.

I've never had one of those, but I'm not surprised Midwest Express had them.
I miss all the direct flights from Omaha. I remember going to PHL and DCA in my teens with no layover. It was an amazing thing.

I think I was 18 or 19 the last time I flew Midwest, so I clearly never got the full experience.

Yeah, my kids are excited when United gives them a prepackaged stroopwafel cookie. Don't get me wrong -- those are really good.
But nothing will ever compare to the 30 minutes where you could smell of those cookies baking in the back of the plane.

During COVID, I took classes in an accelerated online degree program from a local university. It took a few months on the hunt, but I left my job as a newspaper editor when I found a job in data and automation.

I still remember how excited I was in second grade when I got randomly assigned No. 23 for baseball because I watched Sandberg on WGN with my grandparents in the summer, and he was their favorite player. He's associated with so many great memories from my childhood.

The last newspaper I worked at would get two giant bags of popcorn a week for the break room. I was probably responsible for eating about a quarter of that each week.
We didn't have bowls, so most of us transported popcorn in coffee filters back to our desks.

Last year, a very excited guy wanted to talk to me about the University of Montana when he saw I was wearing Grizzlies shorts. He was incredibly disappointed to learn I bought them out of the clearance bin at Scheels in Nebraska and had never even been to Montana.
