If you're a high school athlete looking to compete over the winter, we've got great news! We've added UNL and Doane meets to our schedule. The UNL meet on 2/20 at the incredible Devaney Center is one of the last meets of the open season and will accept 24 kids per event/gender in the 60, 200, 800 and mile based on indoor performances this winter. Our state offers so many indoor meets before the official HS season; take advantage of them! preprunningnerd.com/post/2026indoor

What are your thoughts on the Nebraska game. Respond with GIFS only.

Prompted by the death of Dallas' Marshawn Kneeland, Nebraska coach Matt Rhule's last answer during his press conference today turned into a long and thoughtful several minutes on mental health and connecting with one another. "Seeing the tragic news out of Dallas today, understand that none of us know what people are going through. That's why I think we all should be careful about what we say to people. I think we should be careful what we tweet about people. I think we should be cognizant of what everyone's going through. "I told our players they should take their headphones off in the cafeteria and sit down with someone and be like, 'How you doin', man? What's going on with you?' "... It's just awful, awful, awful news. I've given the eulogy for players of mine who've had the same thing happen. You just never know what people are going through. "I will forever, for the rest of my life, think about the time that I saw Adrian Robinson right before he took his own life. I saw him on campus and ... I was like, 'I need to catch up with Adrian.' And a week later, he left this world and a month later I was giving the eulogy. I wish in my life, I could go back and just stop and say, 'Hey, how you doing?' "I know it's not what you asked, but it's on my heart. I just shared with the team like, it's a time in this world for us to be kind to people."

Cross country isn't easy. Life changing experiences rarely are.

Today is the first official day of cross country practice. This fall thousands of you will set PRs, run further than you've ever run before, make new friends and experience highs and lows you never expected. Eight hundred of you will race at State in Kearney on October 24. On that day, eight individuals and eight teams will be crowned State champions. The luckiest of you will fall in love with running. You'll realize it makes you healthier, happier and more fulfilled. It will become your lifelong passion. Start slow. Run forever. Win at life.

@SuitUpVarsity Tecumseh has or had a Pizza Hut.

We have discovered three exceptions to the Class B-Pizza Hut rule: Wood River, North Bend, and Syracuse. I submit this explanation.

Legendary U.S. distance running coach Joe Vigil has passed away at 95 years old. 🙏 🕊️ In 1971, he led @AdamsStateTFXC to its first men’s national title in cross country and then won 11 more from 1977 to 1989. In his time at Adams State from 1965 to 1993, the team won 19 national collegiate championships (including a 15-point perfect score performance at the 1992 NCAA Division II Championships). On the individual side, he guided 87 national titles and 425 All-American honors. He created a dynasty that lives on. He coached Team USA at two Olympic Games and seven World Cross Country Championships. He helped bring the 1968 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials to Alamosa, Colo. He was named National Coach of The Year on 14 occasions. He coached Deena Kastor to the Olympic bronze medal in the marathon at the 2004 Summer Games in Athens. He coached Pat Porter to eight U.S. XC titles. The athletes coached and inspired by him took on the name “Vigilantes” and also included the likes of Brenda Martines and Diego Estrada. Adams State coach Damon Martin shared the following tribute via the university: “In the sports of cross country and track & field, Coach Vigil belongs on our version of Mount Rushmore. He was an incredible motivator, a superior coach, one of the godfathers of coaching education in the United States, and a great mentor to so many of us around the world. He told me point blank on many occasions to be an impact person. I don’t know if there will ever be a more impactful person in our sports and our community than Coach Vigil. He was the architect that created the Adams State dynasty, it has been my great honor to be next in line as he passed the baton. As we continued to have successes as a program, Coach would always encourage our teams, cheer us on, and sing our praises. He was humble, gracious, and remarkable in so many ways. Today, I’m not really thinking much about all of those things, I just know that I am going to miss my friend and our weekly phone calls.” His life story is told in the book “Chasing Excellence: The Remarkable Life and Inspiring Vigilosophy of Coach Joe I. Vigil” which was published in 2020.

Pain—physical or emotional—isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a signal: you’re in it. And how you respond to that signal determines whether you spiral or grow. Here’s 8 evidence-based tools that help you navigate discomfort:

Voting starts Monday! Please help honor our awesome Nerds!

PLAYERS: When coaches, teachers, or parents push you or hold you to high standards, it's normally because they want you to be better. They want you to reach your potential. They want you to achieve your goals. Be coachable and appreciate the ways they might be able to help you.

@84_in_reality @MrRockMan2001 @CFBHome @grok You’re thinking of Colorado getting five downs to beat Missouri in 1990.

@MrRockMan2001 @CFBHome @grok They needed 5 downs to beat Missouri.

Hey @grok which 1997 team would have won the football national championship, Nebraska or Michigan?
