2018 Road to Nebraska Scholarship Campaign
| The Northeast Kansans for Nebraska isn’t just a fun place to socialize with other Husker fans and watch football games.

Nebraska County Countdown #41: Polk County
| Polk County has a very Swedish history. Polk County is named after a US President. James K. Polk was the 11th President of the United States (1845-1849) and the county itself was formed in 1856 (152 years old). It’s current population is estimated to be 5203 (2016 estimate). It’s population during the Roaring 20′s was 10,714 so Polk County experienced quite a significant population decline. Polk County is also home to one of the darkest moments in Nebraska when the town of Durant, Nebraska was... |
Nebraska County Countdown: #42 Nuckolls County
| Nelson is technically superior For some reason I got stuck with another county that borders the state of Kansas. Well, I shouldn’t say stuck because I picked these out months ago without really thinking about it. No matter, Nuckolls is that county that you will be learning about today and it really is another reason why Nebraska is “The Good Life”. Nuckolls is a booming county with a total of seven beautiful towns that populate this great area. Superior is superior in the fact that... |

Nebraska County Countdown: #43 Colfax County
| We just whoooshed past Colfax County. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why I signed up to do this bit about Colfax County. I do not have a good story to tell. I think my brother and sister-in law once lived in Clarkson or Howells, which are both in Colfax County – the only thing I remember about that is they could not drink the tap water because of high nitrate content. There were 10,515 people in Colfax county as of the 2010... |

Nebraska County Countdown – #44 Nemaha County: Once a part of the apple capitol of these United States of America
| But what happened? Nemaha and nine other counties in southeast Nebraska produced more applies in 1912 than did the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Colorado and Utah. So what happened? Mother nature reared her ugly head. In November of 1940 a disastrous freeze killed thousands of the Nebraska fruit trees and most of the orchards in Nebraska were abandoned. Just think what could have been… Nemaha County was established in 1855. That makes the county 163 years old. That is older than the majority... |

Nebraska County Countdown 45: Webster
| Dazzy Vance, Willa Cather, Red Cloud, Bob Terrio, and Wide Left We are more than halfway through our county countdown. You know what that means? We’re getting closer to Husker football! Welcome to Webster County, the childhood home of Willa Cather. The population is 3,625 (2015) and the county seat is Red Cloud. The other “city” in Webster County is Blue Hill. The county also includes the villages of Guide Rock, Cowles and Bladen and census-designated area of Inavale. The county was formed in 1871... |
Nebraska County Countdown: #46 Merrick
| Welcome to Merrick County! Organized in 1864, it was named for Elvira Merrick, the maiden name of the wife of territorial legislator Henry W. DePuy, who introduced the bill that created the county. Not this Elvira. A different one. The geography of Merrick is unique. The northern edge is jagged because the Pawnee Indian Reservation was formed a year before, and they overlapped. The southern edge is bound by the Platte River. No boring rectangles here, Merrick has style!. Central City is the county seat.... |
Frosted Flakes: Akinmoladun Nominated for Good Works Team
| The world’s longest fingernails, Jupiter’s moons, a ninja shortage and watch out for drawbridges It’s watchlist season. Except, that we know there won’t be many Huskers on watchlists after least year’s 4-8 debacle. We might see a receiver or two appear, but I’m not sure how many others will catch the eye of selection committees. One list where Nebraska players make frequent appearances is the Allstate Good Works Team. This year 169 college football players were nominated, including Nebraska’s senior defensive end Freedom Akinmoladun. The... |
Nebraska County Countdown: 47 Valley
| Welcome to beautiful Valley County, heart of the bountiful North Loup River Valley! Valley County was named for its topography, which is much more varied in elevation than other areas of the state. My grandpa Charron said we could run more cattle on a section of pasture than he could, “because our cattle could graze all five sides.” It was organized in 1874 when Fort Hartsuff was established. The county seat is Ord, and includes the towns of Arcadia, Elyria and North Loup. One of... |
