Calling all athletes of the "amateur" and "Nebraska" variety...

...your time to shine has arrived. If you've ever dreamed of impressing that cute blonde in your Food Science class with your gold medal in ping pong, or if your résumé has a blank spot reserved in the Other Activities section for "second-best horseshoe pitcher in the state of Nebraska in 2009"...or if the only way to earn your father's love is by competing in a sport known as "Shooting - Cowboy Action" (insert one of 7,000 possible jokes here), then folks, you'd better get crackin', because the deadline for registering for 2009's Cornhusker State Games is nearly nigh. And by "nearly nigh," I mean two days away.

But don't worry, there's still plenty of time to train for your respective sport or pull a team together. (Note to self: Start actively befriending people interested in competing in tug-of-war next year.) The opening ceremonies (along with Sportfest, the pre-opening ceremonies, which is free for registered athletes) begin Friday, July 17th, and competition runs from the 17th through the 26th.
