Welcome to The Platinum Board. We are a Nebraska Husker news source and fan community.
Our landlord was JD. Current owner of The Hawk and also the landlord of a bunch of properties in that area. Very familiar with Nobbie though, given he was around a lot and also the boss of a handful of my buddies while they were door guys / bartenders at The Wheel.
JD is my brother's business partner along with John in the Hawk, plus many real estate projects. 3 owners of the Hawk: JD, Tom & John. They also have a variety of businesses/LLC's that own rental properties around Lawrence. Nobbie is involved in many of their real estate deals, as is Hatfield and a few others. Nobbie & my brother bought a fixer upper down here at the Lake that they are going to rent out. Lawrence is a small world. It feels like half of Lawrence has stayed at either my house in Vail or down at the Lake. Revolving door of Jayhawks coming through here. Good peeps.
JD was great to us despite the many headaches we probably caused him haha. To come full circle, I was skiing Vail last weekend. A lot of former Jayhawks make the transition from Lawrence to Denver it seems (myself included).
The boom boom room takes souls.
Six degrees of MtnHusker is my favorite running theme on this board
I remember those days at The Hawk. Shit got crazy and all of his stories are probably true. I will say that it was even wilder behind the scenes in the 90's and early 2000's. So he worked mainly for John H at the Hawk that time period. The owners rotated who actively runs it. So he was also probably there when we brought the Sidetrack Band in from Lincoln for the Husker Games. We'd turn the Hawk into a Nebraska Bar. Would be their busiest weekend of the year and so much fun. The first year they did that we packed the place with Husker Fans. Literally almost a full house at 11 am before the game. I had a group of about 60 posters from the Red Sea Scrolls board there.
I'm not kidding, the 6 Degrees Game has been the running joke about me with my friends for a long time. We've literally played that game before. Being in the music industry while living in Vail really got me tight with a diverse group of powerful people. And scary as it is I have a couple friends who have far more connections than me. Seems like they know powerful people everywhere. We all help each other out.
Shenago Lounge is my jam. I used to love going there when I lived in Lawrence. My usual spots were also Jeffersons, Johnnys West, and then Set em up Jacks on the east side when I lived out there. Lot of great sports bars in that town. I now live in Columbia and there isn't a sports bar to be found in this goddamn town.
Only if they've had a fit of madness. Greg's a very good coach but KU can have their pick of the litter
I have been reliably informed that hiring coaches from a Kansas program is a mistake, and that they will quickly be exposed in the B1G.Sitting out a year and then coaching Nebrasketball.
Corch Lance and Corch Self are probably equivalent
its leipold
You're leipold
Self lost 8 games this year, Leipold only lost 7. It's just basic math.
