Huskers launch ‘Nebraska Together’ apparel for tornado relief

LINCOLN, Neb. (Press Release) – Nebraska Athletics has partnered with Fanatics, Best of Big Red, Lincoln Scheels, and local retailers to raise money for tornado relief efforts. Fans can purchase “Nebraska Together” apparel at Huskers.com or Best of Big Red Lincoln locations beginning Tuesday.

“One thing I know growing up in the Midwest is neighbors are always willing to help neighbors,” said Troy Dannen, Director of Athletics. “This is a great time to rally for those in need. We are happy to play a small part in assisting Nebraskans through this difficult time.”

Nebraska will donate royalties and all proceeds will go directly to the Red Cross to assist local relief efforts. In April of 2019, a similar project provided $75,000 of support for flood relief in the state, and Nebraska Athletics is hopeful that Husker fans can make a similar impact.

Apparel will start at $25.

Shirts can be pre-ordered from Bestofbigred.com.

Hilgers says Nebraska, Colorado water dispute could take years, but Perkins County Canal should progress

Hilgers says Nebraska, Colorado water dispute could take years, but Perkins County Canal should progress

It could take years for the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve Nebraska’s water dispute with Colorado. But Attorney General Mike Hilgers said in the meantime, work on the Perkins County Canal should continue.

Hilgers’ comments on Tuesday came one day after the Supreme Court said it will consider Nebraska’s complaints that Colorado’s not sending enough water across the state line on the South Platte River and is blocking Nebraska’s attempt to build a canal to bring more. Hilgers said it could take three to five years for a special master to make a recommendation and the court to decide. And he said while it’s up to the Legislature, it would make sense to proceed with planning and construction on the canal.

“We need to be able to show the court, which is ultimately true, which is Nebraska is committed to doing this. I do see the policy wisdom, but even more importantly… from our perspective, it’s critical from a litigation perspective to really be able to push forward on this,” Hilgers said.

The Legislature has set aside $630 million for the canal. Separate from the court case, the Army Corps of Engineers must still decide whether to issue a permit for the project.
