THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Kids hate naptime. With bags under their eyes, they protest that they aren’t tired. They kick and scream, wondering how it could be time to sleep when the sun is still out. It’s hard to believe that we were like them not too long ago. Now, napping is a welcome retreat, a blanket-cocoon of warmth that leads to our metamorphosis into a slightly less cranky college student. This is an invitation to sleep–an appeal for you to put aside your pencils, textbooks and tear-stained calculus homework. I think it’s safe to say a lot of us have had a long few weeks. It seems like our first days of classes were ages ago, move-in day even more distant in our minds. Now here we are. Some of us are chugging coffees, others frantically writing upcoming homework dates in our agenda. But it’s time to stop, if just for a bit. I’ve come to realize this. I may have my next five weekends booked out, with internships to apply for and homework to do. This is my situation, which can’t be changed. We all have obligations, but it might be time for us to find a little wiggle room in our schedules. While logic may say we don’t have the time to enjoy the blissful peace of sleeping in a Love Library beanbag chair, at some point, we all reach a breaking point. I may just be the devil on your shoulder right now,
but I’d encourage you to just take a step back from everything. Yes, you should probably read that chapter for history class, but if you’re at the point of insanity with your workload, it might be worth it to delay the assignment for now. That’s not to say you should make a habit out of it, but just this one time, here is your ticket to 20-40 minutes of sleep. Enjoy.

73-year-old perfect fit at UNL coffee shop
Aidan Connolly DN STAFF WRITER
A self-proclaimed “old man,” 73-year-old Larry Rivers said he has lived a full life. Along with being married to his wife for 53 years, he has owned an advertising and marketing firm, as well as a trailer manufacturing company. Now, he spends his time on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s City Campus, serving coffee and snacks at the Academic Grind in Oldfather Hall. Rivers said his wife, Ruthann, found the job listing in 2010 and shared it with him, and he applied. Rivers was the first non-student hired to work at the Academic Grind, and he said the interview was interesting. “They were scared to death,” Rivers said with a laugh. “They’re afraid I’m going to drop over, and I might well do that.” Now in his seventh year at the Grind, Riv-
ers said not being a student lets him bring some stability to the coffee shop. “A student’s first responsibility is school,” he said. “Consequently, you have tests, or you could be flunking a class, so you’ve got to meet with your professor. You’re not always able to get here on time.” Rivers said there were times students had to close the shop because the next shift didn’t show. In his time at the Academic Grind, Rivers has learned strategies to keep up with the flow of customers, he said. “It’s feast or famine,” Rivers said. “It will be quiet, and 10 minutes later, we’ll have 35 people out in the hall, clamoring to get in. It presents a major challenge to be able to handle the highs and lows.” Rivers said two people are usually work-

Student duo parody Twitter account takes off Emma Olson dn staff writer
The gap between the 2014 and 2015 football seasons was eventful for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. After another 9-win season at Nebraska, longtime head coach and potstirrer Bo Pelini was fired, setting of a frenzy of speculation by fans about his replacement and the future of football in the state. But there was one fan who saw a different opportunity. Swazy Dalrymple, a sophomore business marketing major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said fans were waiting for someone to take the reigns from Pelini’s infamous pot-stirring social media shadow, @FauxPelini, just as much as they were waiting for the new head coach. “At that point, I made a Twitter account for every coach that was rumored, then waited for an official announcement,” Dalrymple said. After the search ended and Mike Riley was hired, @FauxRiIey, with a capital “I” instead of an “L,” began its ascension. Dalrymple runs the account with Trey
Morton, a junior sports management major at Wayne State. They work together to channel their inner Rileys into tweets. The duo decided to run the page for fun, regardless of success. “When it comes to Husker Nation, these things just happen organically,” Morton said. “We didn’t expect anything.” Despite their low expectations, they wrote more than 1,000 tweets and reached more than 11,000 followers. At first, The duo showed their tweets to each other to ensure they were funny enough and fit with the character of the account. “We’ve established a sort of creative freedom to the point that we know what’s best for the account and what our audience would like,” Morton said. Morton said they don’t plan the tweets; after crafting tweets for a year now, they understand what works and what doesn’t. They filter whatever is happening at the moment through their version of Mike Riley. Even with the large number of tweets, they each have a clear favorite. “Without a doubt, mine is the Husker
haley heesacker | dn
Yearbook and quotes thread from when we played Michigan State last year,” Dalrymple said. “I still have some of the football players liking or retweeting some of them.” Morton said his favorite tweet was the “Very Merry Husker Christmas” thread from the Foster Farms Bowl Game against UCLA because of the photoshopped photos accompanying the tweets. Both have different jobs to keep the account running smoothy. Dalrymple is the creator and oversees everything business- and community-related. Because he stays busy on game days leading the Boneyard student section, he leaves the live-tweeting to Morton. Morton also photoshops materials for the tweets and handles day-to-day tasks to keep the account active. Between their separate jobs, they each put in a couple hours on the account during the week to boost attitudes before game day. “On game day, we are on it the majority of the time,” Dalrymple said. “It varies depending on who we’re playing or if we have something planned in advance.” Only family and close friends have previ-
ously known that Morton and Dalrymple run the account. The pair said they’ve never tried to compete with the famous Faux Pelini Twitter account. “If we ever get that popular with this account, that would be amazing. Our goal is to just have a good time. Anything more than that is a blessing,” they said in an email. They hope the future continues to bring growth for the account. “We’d love to see it keep growing so we can bring smiles to more people’s faces on game day,” they said. “We’re going to keep it up as long as it’s fun, and as we see it right now, we aren’t going anywhere.” NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

OpeN Shelf expands to East Campus Elizabeth Rembert dn staff writer
When the new East Campus OpeN Shelf center opened, the pantry received an overwhelming amount of Ramen Noodle donations. “We’re trying to be a little healthier than Ramen ... We need things with whole grains and lower sodium levels,” said Beth Menhusen, director of the pantry. The new pantry opened its doors at the ConnectioN Point building on North 33rd Street at the beginning of the semester. The addition of a pantry on East Campus expands the reach and mission of the campus pantry program, which began three years ago. The pantry on the University of NebraskaLincoln’s East Campus started as a project of passion for Menhusen after she heard stories of financial stress causing students to resort to living in cars and having unhealthy diets. “I had a good friend who would tell me, ‘All I have for the week is one box of cereal,’” Menhusen said. “She would bring Ziploc bags of cereal. That’s all she had to eat.” And after learning food insecurity affects 51 percent of UNL students, according to a 2015 financial aid survey, Menhusen knew she wanted to use her determination and recently completed nutrition science degree to alleviate food insecurity among college students. “If half our student population is food insecure, that’s enough to say there’s a need,”
she said. “So let’s try to fill it.” Menhusen and Michelle Chesnut, the pastor of the UNL Methodist Campus Ministry, approached the directors of OpeN Shelf, Pastor Adam White – of the UNL Lutheran Center, on City Campus – and student director Cody McCain. “We went to them and said we were seeing a growing need for food among UNL students, and we told them we wanted to tackle it,” Chesnut said. “We have the space and passion, and they said, ‘We love it, let’s work together.’” Chesnut said the inter-campus partnership helps students recognize the service, and White said the partnership furthers the mission of OpeN Shelf. “The new location will serve more students,” White said. “Its food emphasis will serve students in a different way than City Campus, and through it, more people will be
working to solve food insecurity on campus.” The City Campus OpeN Shelf primarily serves students who face hygienic insecurity, White said. After countless complaints, the Office of the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs delved deeper and discovered some students were unable to pay for hygienic products. “Poverty on campus was manifesting itself around issues of hygiene,” White said. So, OpeN Shelf formed to address these needs. Now, East Campus’ center is addressing students’ food needs. White said the new location was a “natural decision” because it is near off-campus student housing. Menhusen said students living off campus are at higher risk for food insecurity because they don’t have a meal plan to fall back on. Through donations, purchased groceries and a partnership with the Lincoln Food Bank,
“If half our student population is food insecure, that’s enough to say there’s a need. So let’s try to fill it.”

East Campus’ OpeN Shelf is able to offer students the food they need. Menhusen said she hopes the center will one day be sustained entirely through donations. “I’ve created a list for the community of things we really need, like things like peanut butter and soups,” Menhusen said. “Shelfsustained protein is really what we want because that’s what college students need and can’t afford most.” Menhusen also said she looks forward to hosting cooking classes in the center’s kitchen. She hopes the classes will help students learn how to prepare the food they receive. “We have canned okra in here,” Menhusen said. “And everybody has been like, ‘How do you use canned okra?’” Menhusen, White and Chesnut agree reaching struggling students is the goal of both campus pantry locations. Students shouldn’t feel intimidated by the religious buildings, Menhusen said. The program is university-sponsored and available to students of every faith. White said he is proud of where the program has gone, and he looks forward to the future. “What’s at stake now is that we get the word out,” he said. “People need to know these places exist, so that those with food and hygiene insecurities have a safe place to go where this service is provided for them.” NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

New Mac Miller album shows artist’s evolution Anna Gleason dn staff writer
“The Divine Feminine” is an album about love, utterly comprised of love songs; something Mac Miller hasn’t produced a lot of recently. The album also spotlights new directions and Miller’s attempt at shedding his juvenile persona. Miller’s fourth album, released Sept. 16, is all about suave rhythms and melodies with a decidedly smooth-jazz feel, consistently featuring big band-style trumpets, grooving bass lines and funk-driven guitar. “The Divine Feminine” draws clear influence from various artists as Miller explores a new, mature sound. While I’ve never been a Mac Miller fan myself, not for lack of trying, I found myself grooving to this album, though not entirely due to the rhymes of Miller. The vibe of “The Divine Feminine” fits a chill night in, or the perfect background noise for studying. The
album is easy to listen to and not particularly thought-provoking. Miller has been attempting to progress away from the party-boy persona he first established in his 2011 debut on the rap scene. “The Divine Feminine” is a step toward revamping his profile as a more serious artist. While some of his lyrics are still reminiscent of a belligerent past, the overall vibe of this album is a gesture in the right direction. Miller combines a jazzy, relaxed, Chance the Rapper vibe with smooth verses a la GEazy in 10 consistent songs featuring a variety of guest artists. “Dang!” featuring Anderson .Paak, perhaps the most redeeming track on the album, steadily grooves with .Paak’s smooth vocals accompanied by big-band brass and a gliding guitar line. The song is punctuated with signature Mac Miller-style rhymes that blend remarkably well with the overall vibe of the tune. Following “Dang!” is “Stay,” a decidedly
Chance the Rapper-influenced tune featuring a solo trumpet paired with a classic hip-hop beat that echoes the “Coloring Book” feel. Miller’s rhymes glide over the top of the established back in a crooning love poem which is rather unremarkable.
Other artists featured on the album include Ty Dolla $ign, CeeLo Green, Kendrick Lamar and Ariana Grande. Each collaboration lets the featured artist’s style show through in

Bellevue musician forms solo project as Ridgelines Mari Crisler DN STAFF WRITER
Ridgelines is the “atmospheric, ambient beat” project of Mike Johnson, who lives in Bellevue. Formed only a year ago, Johnson has already released two EPs and one split cassette as Ridgelines. Ridgelines’ first EP is sample-heavy and inspired by hip-hop. Johnson said he spent a lot more time making his second release, focusing on playing his own instruments and sampling himself. It was during that time that his sound began to solidify into what it is today. While recording his third and latest tape, he challenged himself to connect several short bursts of energy into one cohesive track. All of his songs are written using only a guitar, synthesizer and drum machine. He says his songwriting process begins with an idea for a feeling. “I’ll see something or hear something that would be a good basis for a song and I’ll try to soundtrack that moment,” Johnson said. Johnson doesn’t really play guitar or piano, so the rest of the process is not very straightforward. He said he knows what sound he wants to hear, and then he has to figure out how to play it on those instruments. “It’s like learning a foreign language,” Johnson said. When Johnson is finished recording, he sends the .wav files to Thomas “Teetah” Flaherty, who masters the tracks, adding the finishing touches to the songs before they are released. Ridgelines’ unique sound is solidified through its collaborations with other local musicians. He has worked with many local rappers and poets, including Sleep Sinatra, Big Slur and Scky Rei of BOTH, all of whom add their own element to the songs. Describing his collaboration style, Johnson said he would send an instrumental track to whoever he was working with, and then they would rap over it and send it back to him in a matter of days. Sleep Sinatra, a hip-hop artist from Lincoln, said Johnson’s music “has an ethereal and deep ambient sound.” When Johnson reached out to him about collaborating on the A side of the split cassette, he said he was happy to oblige. Ridgelines’ side of the tape features Sleep Sinatra, a hip-hop artist from Lincoln. It begins with drones that gradually build,
adding crunchy bass synth and hard-hitting vocals that can initially take one off-guard. The 12-minute track swells into several different parts, each one as engaging and unique as the last. There is never a dull moment throughout the whole tape. All of Ridgelines’ music has been released on cassette tapes. He burned about fifty tapes of each of his first two EPs and exactly 23 of his latest split. “In a way, it’s romantic,” Johnson said about cassettes. “They’re kind of dying as you listen to them. They get worn out with every play, so you have to really like it.” Johnson says his music “doesn’t go with anything, so it kind of goes with everything.” Because of this, Ridgelines has been able to play shows with influential local and regional bands such as Twinsmith and Halfloves. In high school, Johnson read “Scarlet Ibis,” a short story by James Hurst about the life of a sickly boy and his brother. Recently, the musician was reminded of the story and is now attempting to give it a soundtrack. He said he has two or three of the tracks recorded so far, and there will be around 10 when he is finished. This next release will be his longest, hopefully clocking in at about 35 minutes, so people can listen to it and read the story and have the two coincide. Almost Music, in the Blackstone District of Omaha, hosted the release show for Ridgelines’ split cassette, and the record store continues to be the only place that sells his tapes. Johnson also specifically mentioned Ground Floor Guitar, also in Omaha, as a major supporter of his music. “Everybody has been very supportive with what I’m doing,” he said. When he isn’t experimenting with new sounds, Johnson works, plays golf and is a husband and father. He is even trying out DJing at House of Loom. He is a big supporter of local music, saying that his favorite album of 2016 is “Pop” by Omaha’s hardcore outfit Bib. Johnson has received both good and bad feedback regarding Ridgelines. Among the good reviews, the one he appreciated most was, “You make the music that I hear in my head.” Ridgelines’ music can be found at ridgelines.bandcamp.com or at Almost Music.
“I’ll see something or hear something that would be a good basis for a song and I’ll try to soundtrack that moment.”

STUDENT VOICES: Bad roommates Jacob Elliott dn staff writer photos by elsie stormberg and maggie holmes
Roommates are a special sort of people. When they’re good, they’re really good, but when they’re bad, they can create the worst experiences. The Daily Nebraskan asked students: “What was your worst roommate experience.” ARTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM
“My worst roommate experience would probably be… like coming back and having it be completely swarmed with people in my room. People I didn’t know; didn’t want to be there. And when you ask, your roommate blatantly lies about why they’re there.” daniel lebovitz — pre-medical science major
“My roommate at Iowa State had never interacted with a black person before. That was pretty problematic because I’m halfblack. Needless to say, she moved out at the end of the semester. It was all good then.” jessica tate — fifth year ph.d. in counseling psychology
“My roommate my freshman year snored, every single night. Super loud. I could never fall asleep. It was terrible. I had to take sleeping pills all the time. Eventually I could only sleep with sleeping pills. It was bad.” william morris — senior science and philosophy major
“There was a time in the summer when me and my roommate got into a physical argument. That was a pretty bad experience. It was over bills being paid, because one of our roommates hadn’t moved in yet. We were wanting to split her bill, but I didn’t want to, it was her responsibility to pay the bills, cause she still technically lived there. She pushed me and then it kinda escalated from there. I left before I got to involved physically, but she tried to be physical with me.” jenee suarez-moorhead — sophomore psychology major
“I had a roommate that stayed up super late, and when he came back he was super loud about it.” gabe astorino — junior chemical engineering major
“My roommate last year laid in his bed all day and night watching Netflix. He was always there. It was annoying that he was there all the time, I could never get any alone time.” mason merritt — sophomore chemical engineering major

MAC MILLER: FROM PAGE 7 specks, which brings much-needed variety to the album as a whole. “God is Fair, Sexy, Nasty” featuring Kendrick Lamar allows his signature edgy, rhythmic sound to show through while, “My Favorite Part” featuring Ariana Grande displays Grande’s vocal prowess and classic style. While the album displays Miller’s tendency toward a new, more refined sound, it doesn’t show a full, successful transition. He shows motion in the right direction, but still has a ways to go. Despite well-produced beats and an easy vibe, “The Divine Feminine” is still strides away from a reputable hip-hop album. Miller’s lines are still decidedly immature and slightly underwhelming, despite the grooving undertones heard in the melodies. The album shows Miller’s growth, creativity, relaxed flow and some groove, but can’t be considered a hip-hop masterpiece. ARTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

LARSEN: Memes dumb down political discourse
Ben Larsen staff columnist
Over the last handful of months, my life has been dominated by a certain gorilla. Since early June I’ve been inundated with Harambe memes. I even have a picture of the beloved ape on my door in memory of him.
For reasons unknown, a slain lowland gorilla has become the focal point of the entire internet. Yet Harambe isn’t the first thing to become internet famous. Previously there was Doge, Fry from Futurama, Nick Cage and a whole host of other characters composing the world of memes. Memes, most basically defined as ideas (including images) that spread virally through the internet, have taken the world by storm since the advent of the web. However, the joyous effect of seeing all those Harambe memes is counteracted by how they are oversimplifying worldwide discourses and creating a platform for misinformation. The viral nature of memes creates issues when they begin to leak into areas with complex questions that demand complex answers. The epitome of this would be politics. Issues of trade, national security and the economy
are incredibly complicated and nearly always lack a clear black and white solution. However, memes tend to oversimply the debate, sometimes giving credence to outright lies. One example of this is a meme created by the Facebook page “Occupy Democrats,” stating that President Obama has taken fewer vacation days than any chief executive while the congress under Speaker Ryan and Mitch McConnell has taken more days off than any other. PolitiFact found both statements to not only be false, but the meme earned the site’s infamous “pants on fire” rating reserved for only the most egregious falsehoods. This is not to say “Occupy Democrats” is always wrong, although their PolitiFact track record is not pretty. Nor does it mean rightwing memes are somehow superior, as they can be horribly wrong also. The use of memes to water-down politics around the world is not a partisan issue. It’s instead a human issue
that has yet to be addressed. This change starts rather simply: Stop using memes as a response to another’s arguments. Unless the debate is over an utterly miniscule subject, it’s going to take more than two lines of text to convey an argument if one is putting serious thought into the subject. It would probably be funny, but is it really worth it to contribute to the collective dumbingdown of society just for laughs? I’d rather not head to a world with a President Dwayne Camacho where the crops are watered with Gatorade. If you’re like me and you don’t want that, then it’s probably time to get off Twitter and do some research. Furthermore it’s best not to proliferate political memes without doing some fact-checking first. One of the worst things one can do is help the either unintentional or purposeful

SCHMIDT: We all define success differently
Kaitlynn Schmidt staff columnist
As a 22-year-old living in a capital city, my family has told me how successful I am for making it out of my small-ish hometown and making it to the “big” city. As I sit in this coffee shop (original, right?) I am the farthest from success I can imagine right now. My crap is far from together. My stomach is growling from hunger, but I can’t afford really to eat more than bread and peanut butter at times. I’m shaking from caffeine overdose from all of the coffee I’ve consumed today, which is my favorite food group.
I barely know what I’m doing tomorrow much less in the next four months. Long story short I’m a hurricane of a mess yet my family thinks I’m successful. I’ve realized that doesn’t necessarily mean that my aunts, uncles and grandparents are clueless. Just that people have very different ideas of what success is depending on how they grew up and, dare I say, age/ generation-wise. At my age, my grandma was already married and raising my mother, who would have been two. Some of my generation is doing this, but not as much as they did back when she was 22. And according to my grandma, that’s what was considered successful back then. She has admitted that sometimes when she thinks about it she does wish she had been able to do something more before she completely settled down. Which is what our generation is doing now. For a lot of us, before we settle down, we are out there doing things we have always wanted to do. Things like traveling, moving to a different city, grad school, Peace Corp, etcetera. These milestones will be the determining mo-
ment for when we deem ourselves successful. But then again, that’s not how things worked back then. For her to see me breaking essentially what her norm was, is successful to her. Whereas my generation’s terms and definition of success, can be more on the side of having a career and being established within ourselves. What it really comes down to though is; while there may be a universal definition for the word success in between the lines of that definition are millions upon millions of differing definitions. Everyone has different aims and purposes and only we can define them for ourselves. Some of us want to be parents, some of us want to travel and wait to be parents until our 30s. Regardless of what our aims--or really, dreams--are, the important thing to remember is that success will be invigorating when we achieve it and is terrifying beyond all means while we work toward it. We’re all wandering around, jumping at every chance we can to get closer to our definition, to our purpose. Which, with all of that, I guess you could say makes me feel a LITTLE better. I mean that and all the pinterest posts and quotes that throw out the stuff about how not being
where you want to be this second is okay. “But Kaitlynn wait, why would you not accept your grandparents’ praise?” I do accept it from them, and graciously. It’s awesome to hear how proud people that mean so much to you are. It can just be hard and feel like they have you on a false pedestal when you don’t feel you deserve to be on it. It’s almost feeling like being cubic zirconia when they asked for real diamonds. Like I’m letting them down but they don’t even know it. That being said, it’s getting a little easier to recognize that my success isn’t the same as my roommate’s or my cousin’s; that doesn’t mean I’m not going to get there. Oprah got fired at my age right? So, maybe it’ll be okay. KAITLYNN SCHMIDT IS A SENIOR JOURNALISM AND ADVERTISING AND PUBLIC RELATIONS MAJOR.

Huskers’ win over Ducks breeds confidence for future Michael Dixon Dn staff writer
One thousand, six hundred and eightyeight miles away, Oregon State’s half-empty Reser Stadium got the news. Final score: Nebraska 35, Oregon 32. Yes, that Nebraska. And, yes, those Oregon Ducks. Fans respectfully stood up to applaud. Former coach Mike Riley had done something he hadn’t since 2007: beat those pesky, high-flying, high-octane Oregon Ducks. The Ducks had become one of the country’s best programs over the last decade, casting a dark, Nike-shaped shadow over both Riley and Corvallis. But this time, he did it wearing scarlet and cream, instead of orange and black, in the center of the American heartland. And this time, it meant so much more than it ever had. The ripple didn’t stop there; fans across the country who’d come to recognize Nebraska as a program stuck between the glory of yesteryear and the contemporary reality of a dubious identity would realize, for the time being, NU’s back in the national spotlight. While it’s nowhere close to where the program would like to be, it’s a step. And it’s a step taken by Riley, who after a disastrous six-win campaign in his inaugural year, likely has Nebraska back into the top 25 with a win against the 22nd-ranked Ducks. “I think this will be good for us (on the national stage), Riley said. “But we’ll have to keep putting an exclamation point on it week after week to make it real. But it obviously is a really good start. In the last 15 years, these wins were few and far between. Bill Callahan never did anything like this. Bo Pelini really couldn’t, either. But over his last seven games, Riley now has an upset win against No. 7 Michigan State and a declaratory victory over his green-andgold kryptonite. And this one meant so much for so many different folks. For the Huskers, it’s a proclamation their fade from the national spotlight is over. The 70-31 loss to Wisconsin? In the past. A second-half embarrassment at the hands of UCLA? Nuh-uh. The 35-point thrashing at Camp Randall? Not anymore. For all 60 minutes of play Saturday, Nebraska showed it deserved to be on the same field as one of football’s modern-day giants by falling behind by a couple of scores before
merika andrade | dn rallying for one of the most exhilarating wins Memorial Stadium has seen this century. That means something. For the people of Nebraska, it’s a reason to believe again - not just in their program, but in their head coach, their players and the direction of the team. “I (am) just tremendously excited for everybody in this state,” Riley said. “I think everyone in this state must have been in the stadium.” Sure, there have been glimmers of hope throughout the last 15 years, but nothing has quite resembled this. That means something. For the Big Ten West, it’s a realization there’s a favorite - and it isn’t Iowa, which lost to North Dakota State, or Wisconsin, which settled for a 23-17 win against Georgia State. Nebraska is on a golden track to the
Big Ten title game in December, and if Nebraska can beat Oregon, it can beat just about anyone else, Ohio State included, on its way to Indianapolis. That means something. For Tommy Armstrong, it’s a reminder of everything he’s done for this program from the second he stepped foot on campus. He threw for 200 yards and three touchdowns, and after a sideline IV shot to get him through the final few minutes of the game and a gutsy 14-yard completion on 4th-and-9, he scampered 34 yards into the end zone with 2:29 left to give NU the lead for good. “It’s something we always look forward to, playing a great team like Oregon and being able to prove to everybody that we’re willing to work our tails off win games,” Armstrong said standing at the podium, stretching the
legs he continued to battle discomfort with. That means something. And for everyone across the country, it’s a reason to tip your cap. It might take years for Nebraska to return to where it once was, but days like Saturday are a reason to pay attention to Lincoln once again. And remember Reser Stadium, rising to its feet to applaud Mike Riley and Co. for what they’ve accomplished in 2016. Why clap for an ex-head coach removed by 24 hours of interstate driving? Because it means something. SPORTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Unsuspecting receiver relishes opportunity
julian tirtadjaja | dn Brett Nierengarten dn staff writer
He couldn’t have dreamed it better than this. “Growing up here and coming here as a kid, you always want to score as a Husker,” redshirt sophomore Bryan Reimers said. “To
have it happen today is the greatest feeling.” The leap, the hit, the catch, the touchdown - it all happened so fast for the Lincoln East High School graduate. “All you see is the ball,” he said. “Just focus in on the ball and be ready to get hit.” Reimers did just that. Three minutes into
the second half, the 6-foot-5-inch wide out got off press coverage and ran what was supposed to be a post. Quarterback Tommy Armstrong fired him a pass. Reimers stretched to make the play, got popped and extended the ball across the goal line to tie the game at 20. “It was a wonderful play,” offensive coordinator Danny Langsdorf said. “I told his mom on Friday that we had some plays for him, so it was neat to see him step up.” The whole situation was one Reimers never imagined. He joined the program as a walkon in 2014 and expected it to take three or four years for everything to come together for him. “I wasn’t expecting a whole lot - just come in here and get better each and every day and earn that spot, earn that opportunity to be on the field with the whole team,” Reimers said. Instead, after just two full seasons with the team, he found himself playing a significant number of snaps against No. 22 Oregon in one of the biggest Nebraska home games of his lifetime. Reimers said his confidence grew after playing about 20 snaps in place of Brandon Reilly in the season opener against Fresno State. And there was no one happier than Reilly to see someone catch a touchdown in his place. Reimers said he thought Reilly was happier than he was after the touchdown. That makes sense because Reilly paved the way for him. Reimers has known the fellow Lincoln native since high school and said watching anoth-
er walkon succeed and get playing time gave him confidence when he finally got his shot. “He doesn’t have a lot of game experience, so I was really proud of how he responded, - both with effort plays blocking and making that big catch.” Currently, he has just that one big catch. Reimers’ stat line at Nebraska reads one catch for 22 yards and a touchdown. And for right now, he said he just wants to enjoy the moment. “I’m going to go see my family and all of my friends,” Reimers said. “My phone is just going off, and everyone’s texting me. It’s just this greatest feeling knowing I have everyone’s support.” Before he could see his family and friends, Reimers had one more thing to address. He had huge bags of ice on his left arm and right shin. Both were from taking a hit from Oregon’s Brenden Schooler on his touchdown catch. “It was a good shot, he said.”He got me pretty good.” But was it worth it? “Just bruises,” he said. “Worth it 100 percent.” SPORTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM
Australian golfer thrives in new environment Ron Peterson dn staff writer
When Nebraska golfer Cameron Jones decided to go Nebraska, he not only left behind his home state – he left behind his home country. The freshman from Perth, Australia, first heard about Nebraska through former Nebraska golfer Josh Madden. Jones said Madden was helping coach Bill Springer and assistant coach Judd Cornell recruit, and Jones’ was mentioned as a potential target. “I’ve always wanted to play college golf for a Division I school, and I jumped at the opportunity to,” Jones said. The transition to Nebraska has left Jones
culture shocked and homesick. Despite the growing pains, Jones relishes the opportunity. He said he hasn’t had any challenges in school yet, and he loves the Midwestern hospitality and friendliness. “No one understands my slang here,” Jones said. “I usually have to repeat myself twice because apparently, I don’t pronounce my words correctly. But it’s fine. I love it.” One culture shock Jones has embraces occurs on Saturdays. “Football is crazy over here, and I love it,” Jones said. “Memorial stadium holds 90,000 people weekly. That’s the same amount of people that we hold for our grand final (similar to Super Bowl). It’s mental.” Sophomore Joel Sneed understands what adjusting to Nebraska is like.
“Coming from Michigan, I wasn’t really that familiar with Lincoln,” Sneed said. “But as a Midwestern kid, unlike Jones, I understood the values and the culture, so it wasn’t that much of a culture shock.” Sneed said Jones is fitting in well his teammates and peers and has the potential to thrive in collegiate golf. “His accent is easy to understand, although he sometimes uses words that we’ve never heard, such as saying, ‘That’s mint,’ instead of when we say, ‘That’s great,’” Sneed said. “He’s golfing great. He’s going to be a force to be reckoned with in the Big Ten.” SPORTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

LARSEN: FROM PAGE 11 spread of misinformation by the initial author. This gets to the theory of natural selection applied to broader social memes by Richard Dawkins. It boils down to this: if a meme is not popular, it will die. “Dat Boi” thankfully only lasted a matter of weeks before fading away, and as such, a political meme should become extinct if it’s predicated on a lie. By doing our homework we can ensure that those memes who survive are also the most accurate. Of course many memes are used simply for innocent fun, which is perfectly accept-
able, but the next time you’re getting worked up about guns in the Facebook comments section, think twice before you use that Wonka meme. Civilly engaging someone by arguing the facts is always better than slapping your opinion on a picture of the great Gene Wilder. Your friends, those you disagree with and society will thank you.
