Taco cannon coming to University of Nebraska Omaha hockey games

A taco cannon is coming to the University of Nebraska Omaha's new hockey arena.

It's a match made in sports heaven: a taco cannon is coming to the University of Nebraska Omaha's new hockey arena.

Repeat: Stadium cannons, previously renowned for sending t-shirts into the stands, will be shooting out tacos instead.

Presumably, "taking a taco to the face" is a nice way of saying "fans will enjoy eating this taco." The last thing sports needs is taco-related injuries.

• Jameis Winston says he got 'hooked up' with crab legs, didn't steal them

Another question: will the tacos stay wrapped long enough to reach the upper limits of the cannon? Mavericks fans sure hope so.
