Cozad

Riley Smith, she was nine years old.

She raced go-karts around Cozad, Nebraska.

And she said, "My favorite driver is Danica Patrick." I mean, she was so determined, like, "Oh, okay, well, I'll tell Danica next time I see her that she's got a big fan out here." Wyoming is a scary spot because the Lincoln Highway becomes Interstate 80.

And so the Lincoln Highway, which is this cute little road that goes 45 miles an hour across most of the country, becomes an 80 mile an hour interstate.

Yeah.

Uh, I'm, I'm gonna go with, uh, like Cozad.

Okay.

Cozad, Lexington.

Okay.

It's the right net.

It's Tuesday, October 6th.

On this day in 1866, the Union Pacific Railroad construction crossed the 100th meridian line near Cozad, Nebraska.

At the time, it was seen as a massive milestone in the westward expansion of the Transcontinental Railroad.

Today, a sign still stands in Cozad to commemorate the innovative moment in US history.

The news is next.

Nebraska Update is funded in part by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Yeah.

Up, up 4.6 in, in power ratings after a 49-27 win against Cozad.

Uh, I'll mention that in a later segment.

But, uh, 20 to seven second half for Roncalli, who, um, looks to be, uh, settling in and playing well.

As we have continued the season a little bit, Boys Town was the beginning part of the conversation of like, are we...

Do we know enough about Boys Town? I think we can confirm, pretty good team.

I think Roncalli is starting to enter that conversation of like, is this maybe our dark horse, our wildcard team? And I think that that is something that is starting to grow into that little bit of a conversation because, man, I mean, you play a tough Cozad team, you end up winning by three touchdowns.

That's not a bad place to be.

Yeah, as you mentioned, about two years here at DTN for me as the lead market analyst.

Prior to that, Nebraska, born and raised, grew up just west of here in Grand Island in Cozad, Nebraska.

I went to the University of Nebraska.

I actually live somehow south of here in Norman, Oklahoma now.
