That Other Sports Event This Summer

By: Mr. Wilson on June 7, 2010
While most of Lincoln is focused on a certain big sports event in July, one major event has been left to lurk in the shadows. The poor Cornhusker State Games, normally a highlight of July around here, has been bumped up to June. And from what I hear, it's suffering mightily as a result. I've heard that soccer, for example, only has 30-some teams registered. That's really, really low. Are any of you planning to participate in any of the CSG's many activities? Are any of you not going to participate because of the date change?

I participated in the Footstock 5K race this year. I don’t plan to this year partly due to the time change and partly due to the fact that I didn’t think it was that great a race, and I am well-past the early entry deadline. I think there are enough 5K opportunities around here that I hate to pay top dollar for one.

Er, that should be that I did it last year as part of the state games, but don’t plan to do so this year. I think they’d have more success with it if they did it in conjunction with the Lincoln Track Club.
