Norm and I have been attempting to figure this out, but as importantly, we simply want to attend some practices.  

Let me know what you guys come up with - I'm all ears. Best thing I could come up with is getting a press pass as a writer for Husker Hoops Central.

FYI if you guys ever want to attend just regular practices, they are open to the public. If you just go and email Greg Eaton then you can schedule to attend one, it's really nice. I've been to two or three myself. To find his email just go on huskers.com

Noah must have a great connection.  I reached out to Coach Eaton today and received this message a bit ago:

 

Thank you for your interest in attending a basketball practice for our team this year. We will be having an open practice on Wednesday, October 24, at 5:00 pm at PBA. Other practices are closed to the general public. There are certain times in which we will allow collegiate or high school coaches to gain access; however, per NCAA rules, we track who is in attendance and what their school affiliation is.

 

Thanks and hopefully you can make our practice on the 24^th!

I will respond to your post as well Noah - I just received this message from Coach Eaton:

You should either try and hide in the Coliseum before Sunday or else try and pull some Hilton Magic

If it helps we got out to a big lead in the scrimmage but held on as Iowa St came firing back with some 3s in a high scoring event.  Also, Michael Jacobson has a new futon.

They probably don't just let random Joe Schmoes come and watch practice. Wouldn't want anyone posting anything on the interwebs about what they saw

Long running joke that you can just make up anything that happens at a secret scrimmage

But it DID happen. I know because I was there!

[hskr4life]

So I assume that we have tipped off.  If you are the secret person in Hilton, let us know how the game is going.

I've driven to Ames and back, and I captured this short video of Michael J. on the ISU bench (BTW, Michael's looking a lot like Joaquin Phoenix these days):

Lost 78-74

[Huskerpapa]

Looks like a good scrimmage.  

[AuroranHusker]

It was a tale of two halves. The teams split the two, separate scrimmages. ISU won 45-31 in the 1st game. NU won 43-33 in the 2nd game. It's basketball season, finally. GBR
