Updated most wanted school song list. (And, here's the Boys Town Victory March music and lyrics!)
Scratched two more off the school song most wanted list tonight, but we need help ID'ing the Anselmo-Merna song. youtube.com/watch?v=R7JYau…
OK, folks, name this tune! It's a college fight song, but I can't place it.
facebook.com/share/r/1Cc9cw… Alma fight song. Can’t point a finger on which college it resembles.
Time to get tough. I'm declaring these school songs our MOST WANTED! If you know a band guy or anyone at these schools, retweet/share & TAG THEM! Let's get answers! @roncallimedia @LSBHigh @CCPSActivities @AlmaCardinals @AquinasMonarchs @SwedesAD @AnselmoMernaFFA @FCPSPanthers
Awesome!
I chatted up @TaylorJDahl to find out what it was like finding footage from 1935 and to find out how he became the go-to guy for preserving old high school game tapes. fremonttribune.com/sports/high-sc…
SATURDAY MORNING SCORBOARD lands in late October 1964, the 23rd and 24th.
Wow!!
Per request, here is the full Nebraska HS collection. We have 207 of 280 existing football teams with an additional 7 that no longer have a team.
Make your picks for the games of October 23, 1964. Results in tomorrow morning's SATURDAY MORNING SCOREBOARD.
"Satisfaction" came on today while I was sitting on the patio writing. Immediately, I'm watching Dan Olson's and Rich King's heads bob above the Burke crowd on the Devaney floor after the 1986 Class A championship game while the Bulldog Band plays the Stones!
I don't know about your neck of the woods, but around here, it is time for Band Camp! Which, for Suiting Up, means working on our woefully lacking SCHOOL SONG LIST. Take a look and see if you can fill in a blank. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
Sticking with our W-F 1-4pm hours, we are proud to announce that we will be open from 9-12pm on Saturdays! Check us out before Husker games this fall or just a simple weekend coming up this summer! Can't wait to see more of our fellow Nebraska sports fans🏈
It’s a school I haven’t visited yet, but at least I’ll have something cool to wear in the meantime!
Today's Patreon and SubStack articles look at the two great college athletes produced by tiny Elsie High of Perkins County. open.substack.com/pub/gregmays/p…
SATURDAY MORNING SCOREBOARD drops in on October 22, 1982 this morning.
Before we get to the scoreboard this morning, let's check in on concession stand sales for the 1959 district help in Chappell. Looks like carrot sales were brisk. What I really want to know: did they buy that record board mentioned at story's end? Is it still around?
Ran naked through the barn yard that night in celebration.
This NBC Sports promo for the 1995 Orange Bowl is outstanding. Be sure to check out the latest episode of the TO series: Reaching the Mountaintop. Link in replies. #GBR
The first-ever Elmwood/Murdock touchdown from 1988. The co-op wore purple and played as the Bulldogs in the fall, and then donned blue and became the Pirates in the winter.
Finally, got close to the mod-1960s W on Wahoo's helmet. (Gotta say, I really like the second one that is not right at all, too!)
The officiating crew for the 1935 Class B state tournament in Hastings, one of only five years of split tournaments in Nebraska.
