You may have somehow missed the news that University of Nebraska-Omaha is getting a new arena, but it can no longer be ignored. The new arena will feature a “Taco Cannon.”

This is literally the best day of my life. Until we see the Taco Cannon in action, we can only dream about the possibilities. And in that fantastical realm, the Taco Cannon can be everything we have imagined since we fell in love with tacos and cannons so many years ago. By “we” I mean “me,” here, of course.

Presumably the tacos will need to be wrapped up in some form, lest the Taco Cannon just bombard the crowd with tortilla, meat, cheese and maybe some pico de gallo. But here’s hoping the good folks at University of Nebraska-Omaha have uncovered some heretofore unknown properties of taco ballistics that will allow them to fire fully formed hard-shell tacos hundreds — heck, thousands — of feet in the air without injuring either the targets or the tacos.

(Thanks to SB Nation for calling our attention to this story.)
