49r Posted September 21, 2017 Report Posted September 21, 2017 I am of the mind that nicknames shouldn't be *too* cutesy. In this instance I think it should just be "Lumber". In other words, "Lumber" Jack McVeigh hhcmatt 1 Quote

Jacob Padilla Posted September 23, 2017 Report Posted September 23, 2017 Lumberjack? Where have I heard that one before? Hmm... Oh yeah! Surprised you guys would want to recycle a nickname that Creighton used recently. hhcmatt, jdw, HuskerActuary and 3 others 6 Quote
AuroranHusker Posted September 23, 2017 Report Posted September 23, 2017 Never heard of an Australian Husker being referred to as a Lumber "Jack" and I have no idea who that is (because I don't care) but no doubt his name is *not* Jack. WestOHusker 1 Quote
AuroranHusker Posted September 23, 2017 Report Posted September 23, 2017 This seems like an appropriate place to include the only Creighton news I have read (and it was a fluke... someone re-tweeted it that covers college hoops right now).... so here's to a Blue Jay obsessing on a Husker message board.

Surprised you guys would want to recycle a nickname that Creighton used recently. - Don't you think "Lumberjack" is a bit more appropriate and apt for someone named Jack than Ethan? It's not just making up a random nickname like Creighton did because Wragge had a beard. Quote

Surprised you guys would want to recycle a nickname that Creighton used recently. Had no idea. Don't keep up with CU's nicknames. However, I could suggest some. For instance, you could call Manny Suarez "Boehner." Edited September 23, 2017 by Norm Peterson Quote

The point is to discuss Nebraska basketball and get the pulse of some Nebraska fans. I just thought it was funny. I considered not mentioning anything, but thought it was fairly harmless. Quote
Swan88 Posted September 24, 2017 Report Posted September 24, 2017 So . . . I'm expecting to find some Anton Gill information when opening this thread this morning. But all it has to offer, in recent posts, is that Jacob is a Jaysker? Can we keep this thread on topic? Quote
Huskerpapa Posted September 24, 2017 Report Posted September 24, 2017 I will say this, it is damn difficult to overcome a major knee injury and get back to "normal." If Anton becomes a viable member of our rotation, he will have my extreme admiration. Silverbacked1, uneblinstu and Swan88 3 Quote

The young man is coming off a MAJOR injury plus he really hasn't played much for the better part of two years. I sure hope I am wrong, but to count on him would almost be unfair to Anton and the team. I'm with you, anything we get from this kid is gravy. Quote
