As artificial intelligence continues to change the world in ways most of us can scarcely even understand, I’d like to point out I grew up thinking this was the pinnacle of human technological achievement.

STAR WARS was released 49 years ago today. Hollywood’s biggest movie phenomenon, and the film that launched the career of star Harrison Ford, the behind the scenes story is as spectacular as blowing up the Death Star…

Svoboda runs 47.91 in the 400, and sets new stadium and meet records in that, as well as the area record. Jaron Dock set the meet record of 50.05 in 2004, and Wesley Ferguson’s stadium record of 49.17 set in 2019.

Evan Svoboda hits 10.56 in the 100. That breaks Chad Theisen’s meet record set in 1996 of 10.74 and Omaha Central’s Calvin Jones’ stadium record of 10.58 set in 1989.

SELECT: The sheriff of Boyd County since 2015, Chuck Wrede in 2024 oversaw an agency with four deputy sheriffs — considered an impressive number for a county with a population of just under 2,000 people.

But since then, the sheriff’s department has hemorrhaged employees, which Wrede attributes mostly to the unwillingness of the county’s board of supervisors to compete with other law enforcement agencies’ pay and health insurance.

SELECT: No. 23 hangs in coach Adam Potter’s office, never to be worn again.

Not only is that reflective of Edouard Nys’ on-field achievements, but also what he did off the field as a leader, friend and teammate.

“I retired his jersey. ... This is the standard, these are the expectations. We retired it before he even got drafted because he laid the foundation.” @NortheastHawks

KU volleyball's record against Nebraska — as officially cited in media guides and by the NCAA — is 0-88-1. So I went looking for the women responsible for the one tie in November 1977.

Then legendary Nebraska coach Terry Pettit told me it didn't happen.

SELECT: “Their defense has been playing lights-out all year and been keeping a lot of teams in check,” Lakeview coach Kurt Frenzen said. “We felt like if we could get to 21 or 24 points, we’d have a heck of a shot to win, and honestly, that was the case. We had a heck of a shot to win, and there’s a couple plays here or there that went the other direction, we’re on the other side of this thing.”
