Creighton Game Thread: "Son, life is simple.....

[cipsucks]

.....It's either Cherry Red or Midnight Blue".

Hey, it's the big instate rivalry game. The nationally ranked Bluejays coming into Lincoln to face the overmatched Huskers. Creighton hasn't won in Lincoln since 2004. Guess what? I don't really care if they end that streak tonight. Let me explain.

"I used to follow,

Yeah, that's true.

But my following days are over

Now I just gotta follow through."

That's the war Tim Miles has to win, and he took a giant leap forward with the Webster signing. Tonight's battle with Creighton really means very little in the grand scheme of things. Sure, it'd be nice to shut their obnoxious fan base up with a victory, but whatever. Husker hoops is on the rise.

But, for an upset to happen.....

Gallegos and Talley have to drive to the bucket, Ubel and Almeida stay out of foul trouble, and Parker needs to play the game of his young career. Wild card tonight---Shavon Shields.

"I won't say where, and I don't know when. But soon there's gonna come a day, baby, I'll be back again."

That process has started. GO BIG RED!

Should be a great game!

[cipsucks]

When Kent asked Miles about injuries in pregame, he said Gallegos has dental issues. Is he British?

[hskr4life]

Josh Jones will not play for CU tonight... well it's a start!

[cipsucks]

Kent just said this may be the most highly anticipated game this state has ever seen in the month of December.

Kent's on drugs.

settling in for the big test of the non conf. let's, you know, pass and stuff, huskers. GBR!

Would love to see the Huskers send the BDSC out the right way. Tall order but we've already seen Nebraska is a much better team than many thought they would be. Hoping we can get this done!

[cipsucks]

tcp! I thought you'd be in the State of Washington today. Well, I guess you still could be....

[cozrulz]

This is Ubel's game tonight. Kind of pumped.

Almeida is ready to have a BIG game tonight!!

Right on cue!

[colhusker]

Hopefully the bluebird fan sitting behind Kent and Matt loses his voice early on.

[HuskerFever]

RAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!

[joshvanklomp]

Too easy for GMD early on

[colhusker]

Soccer school flop?

[tcp]

anyone else having a crappy ESPN 3 feed? trying to figure out if it's me or them.

[joshvanklomp]

I think you guys are a good minute ahead of me. I'll stay quiet...

[colhusker]

Going to be a long night if the whistle keep coming like they are on us early. Not enough depth to withstand foul issues.

[HuskerFever]

Soccer school flop?

Truth. The ref called that 3 seconds after-the-fact too.

It's okay but you can't go full screen or it will be all pixely and blurry

Same. Could be bandwidth. But I'll tell you what, these commentators could use some freshening.

how is that a jump ball?
