Storied rivalry could be what it takes to change Husker narrative

Husker Nation woke up Saturday morning content to celebrate history, and went to bed frustrated yet again, but subtly still celebrating. Any Nebraska fan age 55ish or older appreciates what a good old Nebraska-Oklahoma showdown feels like.

Capitalizing on opportunity

It’s safe to say freshman tight end Nate Boerkircher will never forget his first catch as a Nebraska Cornhusker. There’s just no way that’s ever going to happen.

Trip to the grocery store about reading fineprint

Going to the grocery store is not like it once was. Since retiring I’ve infrequently accompanied the Betterhalf on her shopping, or have been asked to go pick up this or that for her.

20 years later ...

It’s one of those moments we will never forget. If you were old enough to grasp the enormity of what was unfolding on that television screen 20 years ago last week, the images of the 9/11 attack on America are forever seared in your memory.

Boerkircher brothers relish first on-field experience

Nebraska’s win Saturday over FCS Fordham will be long forgotten by many. While it was a much-needed win for a confidence-starved group, it just won’t register for most fans.  However, Nebraska’s 52-7 win over Fordham will be remembered for a long time by the Boerkircher brothers.

Watching beloved Huskers from the comforts of home

 It’s no secret the Betterhalf is possibly one of the top female Husker football fans. A week ago her Husker loyalty took a challenge after the Cornhusker’s loss to Illinois. She was asked if her Husker loyalty was fading. That was a silly question!

Aurora band missing from State Fair

Dear Editor: I am very impressed that there are 55 high school bands from all corners of the state participating in this year’s Nebraska State Fair. However, as a former Aurora High School band member, I find it more than strange that the Huskies are not participating.

Bound for the State Fair

Growing up I never participated in fair activities beyond eating fried food and hopping from ride to ride. The concept of showing animals was beyond me because I lived in town so I just assumed that you couldn’t. As I got older I never joined FFA or 4-H for the same not solid logic.

Simple rewards very satisfying for simle guy

If you can stick around long enough, you never fail to have a new experience happen nearly every day. As we get older the new experiences may not be too exciting, but they do challenge your complacency by either becoming an irritant or leaving you with a good feeling.

Ladder fire trucks boost safety for firefighters, citizens alike

Hamilton County raised the safety bar not once but twice last week with the addition of two ladder trucks to the Aurora and Giltner fire departments.
