hhcmatt Posted December 15, 2017 Author Report Posted December 15, 2017 Anyone read Bill Self press stuff on a daily/yearly basis. He says that Cunliffe isn't going to play much but for some reason I think he just might be full of it. http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/sam-mellinger/article189844854.html Quote

Huskers/Cubs Posted December 15, 2017 Report Posted December 15, 2017 Huskers are 11 1/2 point underdog to Kansas. The early line is a little higher than I though. I figured 7 to 9 point dog. Vegas is really giving us much of a chance. Quote
rwhiston Posted December 15, 2017 Report Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Maybe I'm getting caught up in the holiday spirit. Maybe it was that set 5 W the girls got last night. But I got this feeling tomorrow night https://www.facebook.com/klkntv/photos/a.190491777649944.46692.188017517897370/1735468599818913/?type=3&theater The volleyball game being broadcasted at the arena should keep some fans around. The mild weather tomorrow afternoon should encourage people to get to the Railyard early. Sold out game against a top 25 "rival". This game now has all the makings of No Sit Sunday only this time it's on a Saturday! Fans we got to do our part tomorrow to protect the vault! Edited December 15, 2017 by rwhiston Bugeaters1 1 Quote
WestOHusker Posted December 16, 2017 Report Posted December 16, 2017 Heard some chatter that we may see a new uniform for the boys tomorrow. Don’t quote me on that though. I do trust my sources, but I won’t get my hopes up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk CrazyforNUHOOPS and hhcmatt 1 1 Quote
nuhusker7 Posted December 16, 2017 Report Posted December 16, 2017 Just thought I would share this video for everyone's enjoyment. A couple of us are reminiscing on our junior year in the student section and watching some great videos. I hope to get PBA like this again. rwhiston, HolyBobpilgrimage and tcp 3 Quote

jayschool Posted December 16, 2017 Report Posted December 16, 2017 Scouting report of NU, plus KC Star picks KU 74-61. Quote
Chuck Taylor Posted December 16, 2017 Report Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) KU favored by 11.5. Seems like it should be closer than that for our home game, but sometimes the point spreads are sobering. They spread doesn't mean that we can't win, but it does provide an assessment of where the teams stand. I picked us to win. Guess if I felt strongly enough about it, I'd bet a truckload of money on NU and the points would come down. Edited December 16, 2017 by Chuck Taylor HolyBobpilgrimage 1 Quote
jayschool Posted December 16, 2017 Report Posted December 16, 2017 It is sobering to think of this game in terms of a chart in which Kansas' trend line is at its nadir, while Nebraska's talent is supposedly at its zenith, the game is in Lincoln AND ... Kansas' line is still 11.5 points higher than Nebraska's. Oh, for just one day in the sun. Then Kansas can go win another conference championship. (Would this be their 14th in a row?) Quote
49r Posted December 16, 2017 Report Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Kind of a shocking lack of chatter about this game on the message boards here or at Phog.net. Maybe because everyone feels the game is a foregone conclusion...a formality. Oh well, enjoy some music I heard for the first time last night, I think it's pretty good: Edited December 16, 2017 by 49r HolyBobpilgrimage and jayschool 1 1 Quote
jayschool Posted December 16, 2017 Report Posted December 16, 2017 The Huskers owned James Naismith's Jayhawks, winning four of five games while the inventor of basketball coached at KU. 1900 - Huskers wins 48-8 (maybe we could get a 48-8 head start this year as a commemoration of the first-ever game between the two schools). 1901 - Huskers win 35-29 1902 - Huskers win 23-18 Teams take a break 1903-1905, apparently so KU could learn how to play basketball 1906 - Jayhawks win 37-17 1907 - Huskers 32-19 Frustrated with his inability to defeat Nebraska on a regular basis, Naismith quits and turns the reins over to some guy named "Allen." I credit Nebrasketball with Kansas' success. 49r 1 Quote

But then, at the age of 29, the allure of more money drug him to Indiana where he only had to coach football instead of football and basketball. Quote

jayschool Posted December 16, 2017 Report Posted December 16, 2017 I know we blew some golden chances to win an NCAA Tournament game in the '90s as a #3, #6 and #8 seed, but I have to think that the smaller tournament size in the '60s and '70s prevented Nebraska from its best chances to win a tournament game. In fact, a 110-73 victory in 1966 gave KU the Big 8 title (they finished 13-1, with Nebraska second at 12-2) and a spot in the 16-team tournament. NU's other loss in the conference was at CU just a week after the game in Lawrence. NU went into that KU game ranked 8th in the country and had beaten KU 73-65 in Lincoln earlier. Of NU's five losses that year, two were to KU (one in KC, one in Lawrence). In a 64-team tournament, the Huskers would have been a #3 seed that year. 49r 1 Quote

Maybe another 1950s Jersey like a couple years ago?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
