A relative of mine works for Eddie George's gridiron ball team at Tennessee State. That's all I got for this matchup.

We are 3-0 vs teams with large cat mascots

0-2 vs all other teams

 

look for the trend to continue tonight

Jimmy's basketball history lesson for the day: Tennessee State used to be called Tennessee A&I and was a powerhouse when some of the best collegiate basketball teams came from the NAIA ranks. The yearly NAIA tournament was played at the old municipal auditorium in Kansas City in those days and my dad and I attended almost every year. A&I won three consecutive years beginning in 1955 with their coach John McLendon who finished with a record of 149-20, and later became the first black professional head coach for the Cleveland Pipers and first black head coach at a mostly white university (Cleveland State). He was born in Hiawatha, Kansas-home of the oldest Halloween parade west of the Mississippi. He was a phys. ed. major at KU under James Naismith. His best player at A&I was the finest left -handed shooter I ever witnessed, Dick Barnett, who won two NBA titles while playing for the Knicks and is in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. * I got many of these facts from one of my favorite basketball books, "Big Game, Small World", by Alexander Wolff. And that's your lesson for today, kids. You may put up your notebooks and be happy we aren't playing one of McLendon's teams tonight.

With a win here Fred can move from last place to 2nd last place in terms of winning percentages for Nebraska coaches.

So he'd pass Adolph Lewandowski, who coached during WWII? Adolph coached a roster of 4-Fs instead of 4 stars.

rhcp's cover of rollercoaster would be awesome here.

I applaud this man's fandom for a team that has been coached to hack at balls for the last four years, putting everyone on the line during that time.

I can remember when that legendary Kearney St. team with Crale Bauer from Hildreth & Pete Anderson played for the NAIA National Title in KC…

I remember watching them on Channel 13 lose in the semis that year (1982) to Biola.  The most memorable thing about Biola was that they had a 7'7" guy on the bench - they never did show his head on TV, his shoulders were always at the top of the screen.

Yep, that dude towered over 6’ 5” Pete Anderson, but Pete was like our own Andre Smith in the paint & couldn’t be stopped…

The entire 200-300 level can come down to the 100 level and there would still be plenty of space.  

[demone]

Offense has been solid, but that may be the best 5 minutes of defense this team has played thus far. Great energy.

Plus they aren't even courtside.

 

[MichHusker]

These dudes got some quickness. Some guys are definitely having a tough time staying in front

[49r]

It would be nice to be able to watch this game but all I can see is the freakin graphics that takes up the bottom 1/3 of the screen.

thanks eater of bugs! love that song. 

 

now, if our team could perhaps cease sucking....

[Cazzie22]

Maybe Verge shouldn’t pass the ball tonight. Nobody can hit a shot.

[huskerbaseball13]

Now we know why Hoiberg proclaims this team can shoot….our perimeter defense is non existent. 

[Handy Johnson]

Why aren’t WE ever the team that steps up & plays with someone way out of our league? OR am I forgetting that we aren’t really out of anyone’s league…
