Three years later, the city was noted for its patriotic observances by American Revolution Bicentennial officials.

Seward has held a Fourth of July celebration nearly every year since 1868, the same year the city was platted.

Nebraska women’s basketball landed a commitment from four-star 2027 center Addison Medeck. She was a prolific player for Papillion-La Vista South last season.

Medeck averaged 16.5 points, 12.2 rebounds and shot 59% from the field. She is the 37th-overall player nationally in her class, the 7th-overall center, and the top player in the state of Nebraska, according to the 247Sports Rankings.

Her only offer came from the Huskers and it came on the same day as her commitment. Now, Amy Williams and the coaching staff have locked up another in-state star.

This is the first commitment for the 2027 recruiting class. This gives Nebraska a solid starting point from which to build its class around. Williams and her staff will have a multifaceted player to work with over the next couple of seasons.

So, 6:15 kickoff, an average game length of just under 3 & 1/2 hrs (3:26 is the avg.) plus the 30 minute break to set up afterward (which might be generous) and we’re looking at the show starting at around 10:15 after the game.

So, thoughts on North Dakota post-game concert:

A) Yes, please, love it!

B) Pass on Cole Swindell, but open to the idea.

C) Nope nope, game day by itself is plenty.
