There was an old story that went around that Starkweather ate a Helen's. Don't know if it's true or not. 

 

Back then it wasn't Helen's.  It was Jack's.  However, Helen and her husband Don owned the Texaco gas station and cafe/bar at that time, located on the east end of town.  You would have known it as the Korner Bar. They could have eaten there, being the first place they'd see.  I've talked to people who worked there when the Interstate was being built. They made a killing on food and gasoline!  Timing is everything. Killing was probably the wrong word...

I agree. 

Not sure if I am being scolded or not.  I still think there was a rather stark difference between game threads at that moment in time; and that struck me funny 

 

I agree completely.  Our board has personality.  We have a lot of insiders and coaches/experts that post all the pertinent information. Those of us who aren't, try to keep it entertaining.  I think it's a perfect mix!

Tonight's one of my favorite matchups of the year. Rutgers rejected my grad school app, and I'm still bitter about it, even though it wasn't in my top 3. I just don't take rejection well....;)

 

So let's give 'em heck and make them very sad tonight, Huskers.

Don't feel bad. They also rejected Danny Nee when he left here.

For whatever reason, I'm not nervous about this game at all.  Not sure what that means.  I think I know, but I'm not sharing.

This could be a 142-140 game...

Yeah, our defense is getting a bit lost right now.  Wonder why we are hedging so aggressively against a supposed weak shooting team?

[Huskerpapa]

Man that was a brick by Gary.

[Huskerpapa]

Getting outworked on the boards...Keisei!

[cipsucks]

Tominaga! 

[cipsucks]

Lawrence, so far so good!

 

[Huskerpapa]

Is Keisei playing the point?

[cipsucks]

up 6!

[Huskerpapa]

Nice little run.

[HuskerFever]

One of these teams are going to fall asleep in the 2nd half. Let's just make sure that's not us.

Maybe they figured there is not a weak shooting team that exists that's a weak shooting team when they play us. 

[cipsucks]

Up 8!  Brice is playing...

[Huskerpapa]

Gotta rebound better.

[Huskerpapa]

1st 3 second violation called this year...

[nuhusker7]

Mostly good, but we seem to make when it comes in the offense, and seem to miss when we force something in the first 8 seconds

CJ made a sandwich in the lane

Having to watch the game on my phone.  At a hotel in Ft Collins so of course no Big 10 TV.  

[Huskerpapa]

Flop.
