No serious person would think this could be even a remote possibility, plus it wouldn't move the AAU needle in even the slightest for U of N.

 

 

This is the path, and it should have been done before we lost AAU membership.  We had at least a decade to get this done and failed to do so.  This move would also put us in line with our peers like Kansas, Mizzou, Iowa and others.

I didn't think co-opting  UNK and UNO was part of a serious discuss. It would be hilarious if we could swallow that blue team up north of UNL but I don't imagine we could talk the private school into that.  I don't know any details so I'm probably showing my ignorance but I wouldn't think it would be too complicated to swallow the med center.  

They are discussing reorganizing to deal with this problem. It has been floated that UNO and UNK be brought into the UNL umbrella (don't know how that would affect their athletic programs) but from what I've heard just co-opting the UN Medical Center will get the accreditation back.

Slow walking him. Ballo is priority

Someone sent me this— appears KT is engaged!

Missed a huge opportunity to not have both of them in the Keisei hands on the head pose for the announcement

Thank you @aphilso1 -- i think some ppl forget that, choice is important. America's great because of it, tbh.

 

I think we have choice now don't we? If you want to send your kid to a private school you can pay the tuition and send away. Now even the small private schools in Nebraska can find a scholarship for someone who can put the ball in the hoop but I don't think anyone wants to close private schools. 

Anyone interested?

Well Keisei and Gary were both in one shining moment so we got that going for us. 

And no headband?

And what time he got he was passing not forcing anything and still putting the ball in the hoop.

In the highlights after it was over it looked like Reink was there as they showed someone congratulating Keisei that sure looked like Reink.

And wearing a Hawaiian shirt

Isn’t this a parody account?

Well that will teach me to trust twitter 

Twitter told me it was down to us and them. This might help. 

Mast 

Didn't make the cut

I’ll be watching in my  bedroom with the door shut so I don’t scare the pets with what I will call my in-game behavior. I will either be watching the women play in the same place or in my closet in the fetal position sobbing quietly. GBR

Women play A&M as well - that’s a sick joke

I watched the 1st half of WU-WSU last night.  He started and looked exactly like he did at NU.  Made a couple of buckets but had 3 fouls in 1st half.  He always looks like he's right on the edge of being out of control.  Kind of like a gangly kid who's not really sure what his body is going to do at any given moment.  Doesn't really look like he's made much improvement.  He would probably be better suited to move to the mid-major level.  They did beat WSU on the road to deny WSU a chance for a share of the Pac-0 regular season championship, though.

He hit the floor on five consecutive possessions - 3 on D & 2 on the offensive end. He seems to have gained some weight and it has not helped his game. 

Hail Varsity had this picture but with the court background that I removed. I would pay for this T-Shirt - One in color the other black & white which would be more likely if you are printing them. White t-shirt makes the letters red?

So is Wilcher actually planning on moving on? I assume as a grad transfer if so? He has his flaws but can be an offensive spark plug off of the bench.

If you listened to Jo’s post game he said it was great Gary could go out from PBA with a win. I hope that was a misspeak and not inside knowledge.

Eh, they’re playing incredible ball since his comments. Which were obviously meant to motivate his team, and it worked. Sometimes being a prick is the right button to push.

 

But yes I could definitely see Simeon transferring to Lincoln. Would be cool.

In hindsight he’s trying to play it off as he was trying to motivate them. If you watched in real time you could tell he was just angry and lost his 

shit.  Seems to have done some excellent damage control.

Gary and Mast let us down, along with not guarding battle early

Mast missed some jump hook that are his bread and butter but he has a double double. Some may be overstating the level of play.

Kesei has been pulling the string on his 3 point shots the last 6 games or so. He won’t be sure he elite shooter that he can be if he doesn’t fix his mechanics. I don’t recall exactly when it started but he hit the game winner 3 with poor follow through mechanics and it has continued the last 3 games. He had a couple of wide open ones tonight that he didn’t have to hurry to get off and had bad mechanics. Got to get it fixed 

Watch the tape. He has always shot that way. Always seemed odd to me but if it works...

They are not worth a court storm

Both very good players but I don’t think TP and Palmer could co-exist for a season. I think 17-18 by far the most talented starting five but had no bench. My combined would be:

Watson

Keisei

JPJ

Roby

Copeland

We play an 8 1/2 man rotation now. Rice the 1/2. So my bench is:

Mast (might send  Roby to the bench vs big teams)

Gary

Thomas

Shields 

Everyone could shoot the three, size, physicality, Mast is the least athletic which means you’re solid.
