a tremendous work of longform journalism

Team Der Viener Schlinger does its best to keep all fans’ retinas fully attached. Good said he never even saw “a bloody lip,” adding that the worst incident was that “one lady got hit in the face … Her husband threw the hot dog back at us.” “We try not to hurt anybody; That’s not the point,” Eliker told me, although he admits to unintentionally “knocking a beer out of a guy’s hand” last season.

A launched hot dog once hit Husker radio analyst Matt Davison in the chest while he was sitting in the press box, shattering the sunglasses hanging from his polo. “I’ve never been hit that hard in my life, even during my playing career,” he told me.

They have fired it at Ribfest, a GermanFest and the Nebraska Cattleman’s Ball. They fired it at one funeral.

Safety, or at least clothing safety, is also why Der Viener Schlinger frankfurters fly in their foil condiment-free. At first, they were accompanied by one ketchup and one mustard packet.

It worked fine until a hot dog left the tube and “just exploded,” Roode said. “All we saw was hot dog, bun, and Ziploc bag dust flying through the air.”

When the hot dog hit the man who caught it, condiments splattered “all over his real nice new Husker gear,” Good said.

The next Monday morning, Roode got a call at his office. It was the gentleman from western Nebraska, calling to complain that the condiments had stained his clothes. They were worth $175, and the Fairbury hot dog munitions overlords needed to replace them.

You may wonder how hot dogs headed to hungry Huskers prior to the Schlingerian Age. In addition to Memorial’s more milquetoast vendors, the idiosyncratic, tam-sporting P. Stephen Potter famously walked the sidelines and whizzed wieners into the stands using only the 50-odd muscles in his right arm. A Gothenburg lawyer during the workweek, for 36 years the ponytailed Potter was a gameday fixture, accurate to 40 rows up — farther than the first Der Viener Schlinger could hit. “He was a dead eye with those hot dogs,” Good said. “He threw it right to ’em.”

The women’s NCAA Tournament had started so chalky … until Virginia came along. Three wins in a week (!) as UVA goes First Four to Sweet 16 after an upset of No. 2 seed Iowa on the Hawkeyes’ home court. Wowow.

one of the best shows i've ever seen is when TMBG *opened for themselves* as The Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love and played Flood from top to bottom. nothing short of transformative.

not me over here covered in goosebumps watching Junior Alvarado with a HAND RIDE down the stretch and giving neck pats across the wire, like it was never in doubt. Sovereignty is a special, special horse. what a team.

This is probably only one of only two, maybe three halftime shows ever which actually have an artistic point of view beyond “here are my greatest hits”. It’s already extraordinary.
