The OWH had a small article on Palmer and Watson in this morning's paper. It was one of six stories on Husker basketball. There were none on Husker football, even though the Spring Game is just a week away. Who'd have ever imagined...

So, we're basically Youngstown State?

Why pay a bonus of $1,000,000 to someone that has already done it at another Power 5 school? You pay the extra money upfront expecting him to do it here. You do that stuff for our last three coaches. And, about his bonus, I would not be surprised if that would go to his support staff. I bet they'd be much appreciative. (no idea why the original quote messed up)

I've been waiting for an hour for this. What the heck you been doing??

Absolutely! And, the fanbase will love it! #billbyrne

Maybe make new friends?

And, a peach basket is a lot larger than today's rim...?

I'm going in 2023 to cheer on our Huskers....

With a minute to go in my sophomore year in high school, I got in the Hampton/Fairmont basketball game because we were way ahead. Someone from Fairmont was fouled and I was lined up inside Derrie Nelson on the lane. Looked at him, and told him, "You ain"t getting the rebound." I was right. Fairmont made the free throw. For full disclosure sakes, I knew him and he was laughing when I said that.

I'll be grilling from 10 to 1:30ish....

I wasn't talking about the coaching hire. I was talking about people over the last month or two who seemed to take pleasure in talking about the habits of the A.D. Verified or not....

Rumor spreaders will never apologize.

Shows you how much those two Iowa programs do groan...

You were born in Lincoln. Any chance you were conceived in the Coliseum? ?

From Henry J. Cordes book, "Devaney Birth of a Dynasty" page 10; (yep, hardcover, you gen xers,) "Bob, if you come here and win, you'll never be sorry," says Regent Clarence Swanson, a former Husker All-American. "These people want to win that much." What was true in 1962 about Nebraska football, is more than true about Nebraska basketball in 2019. Why wouldn't Fred want to be the Bob of Nebraska basketball? If I had his history with this university, I sure would put it high on my list of priorities.

In real life, does Hoiball answer to the name of Emma?

I tell you what, we have hot dogs that are frickin' amazing. We have a foot-long, which in honor of Jerry Bush, they could call it "The Wilt." We also have a smaller dog, for those who love the Sadler era, could be named "The Standhardinger."

Three would be perfect if they replaced the r with the star denoting the arena is 60 miles east of Hampton...

Kentucky offered him a lifetime contract. https://theathletic.com/900121/2019/04/01/exclusive-kentucky-offers-john-calipari-lifetime-contract-to-fend-off-ucla-interest/

I don't care about the changing avatars. I'm used to change. Mrs. cip rearranges the furniture both at home and the restaurant all the frickin' time. But the name changes are driving me crazy. When cwg changed, that one was pretty easy to figure out due to the number of posts. The rest of you, when I see a new name with a decent number of posts, I'm saying, "who the hell was that?" Stay off my grass and knock the crap off. ?

Send me a PM and we'll get things lined up. Auroran and anyone else on this board, I'm doing a steak sampling at Helping U BBQ located at 156th & Dodge, on Saturday, April 13th. I'll make sure everyone gets plenty of free steak and jerky samples....

You never heard the "Just like Joe, Moe must go" chants? Sheltered life....

First game I ever went to, in the Coliseum, had to be 1973 or 74, we were playing Kansas State. During a time out, when the crowd was silent, someone shouted out "Cip Sucks!" Don't remember much else about the game. That line, however, stays with me!

No thanks. But my optimistic John Lennon finally came through for our Huskers!

The day or two after we won the Big 8 Tourney was close. Much like the team in the NCAA Tourney, not much legs to the excitement....
