University of Nebraska Athletics - Early nicknames for the athletic teams at the University of Nebraska included the “Hawkeyes”, the “Antelopes”, the “Old Gold Knights”, the “Bugeaters”, and the “Mankilling Mastodons”. The name Cornhuskers first appeared in the school newspaper as “We Have Met The Cornhuskers And They Are Ours” referring to a 20-18 upset victory over Iowa in 1893.
Husker Football – The football team began competitive play in 1890, as of 2014, they have claimed 46 conference championships and part or all of five national championships: 1970, 1971, 1994, 1995, and 1997. The latter three mark one of only two times that a team has won three NCAA Division I-A national football championships in four seasons. Over the past 25 years, the Huskers’ three Division I national championships are the second-most of any Division 1 university.
The Storm - One of the reasons we choose the area was to bring awareness to what a tornado can do to a town. On May 22, 2004, a tornado touched down outside Hallam, Nebraska. It would soon become the world’s largest tornado, reaching its peak at 2.5 miles wide. The tornado destroyed the town of Hallam, tossing a freight train off the tracks west of town. It continued on just north of Cortland and 2 miles north of Firth. Norris Schools suffered severe damage, the middle school being the hit the worst. There the auditorium roof caved in and several walls also. Busses were tossed, and homes northeast of the schools were flattened to rubble.
Huskers Power Trail – The GO is 3 miles wide and two miles high, the HUSKERS! is trail runs 15 miles wide, and 2 miles high, with over 300 caches. There will be some easy park and grabs, and some tough hides along the way. Due to the available hiding spots, quite a few puzzles had to be used to make the trail work.
When retrieving these hides, please pull all the way over, and do not do anything to harm yourself or others.
There are restaurants in Hallam, and Firth (just east of the trail), and gas can be found in Cortland (just south of the east side of the trail on HWY 77).
