Nebraska (20-8) vs. Ohio St. (16-12) Game Thread

[cipsucks]

I think it's time to give Nebraska some love.  James Coburn was born in Laurel, Nebraska.  I was up in that neck of the woods today.  Keisei daggers will be flying tomorrow night!  GBR!

Let’s hope we are not on a “Love Rollercoaster” by the Ohio Players.  I may have bought the album for the cover!

[Silverbacked1]

Definitely going with the “Never to high, Never to low” mantra tonight. 
 

Just don’t get blown out. If I am not mistaken OSU has been behind fairly late in their last few games that they won correct?

 

got to play to the end.

Don’t want to gloss over

 

1. Juwan used his shoulder injury last year to work on his form.  Kudos.  His shot is much improved.

 

2. Fred’s praise for Boogie as both a leader and acceptor of his role on the team.  Boogie’s situation can’t be easy at all.  I have so much respect for someone who is making the best of his situation vs causing a stink.  It’s rare these days but it’ll take him far in life.

Since I offered "Love Rollercoaster" by the Ohio Players for our LAST game against OSU (which worked out well), I will offer this example of finely crafted lyrics by the same group. You would never want to mistake them for world class talent but they did what the did well and they wore fun costumes.

Kent is an absolute legend and Jake is pretty damn good in his own right.  We really are fortunate with the quality play by play people we have in all the sports...at least in my opinion and in the sports I listen to - football, men's and women's basketball and volleyball.  All great and very well produced.

Can't believe this one did not pop up in my head.

20 videos or so in, and one still absent has me sort of flabbergasted....maybe b/c it's the nature of the tune...still, if the musical subject is Ohio, this one's a Hall of Famer.

30 years ago for this one already.

There's a part of me -- the Husker Hoops PTSD part -- that worries we won't bring our "A" game tonight and that we'll somehow manage to sneak into the NIT. As a 5-seed. For a road game. Please, just win this one tonight so I can rest easy.

I made my way through Laurel last fall on the way back to far eastern NE from Wausu. Beautiful countryside to navigate in and around Randolph.

Oh God, no. That's too painful to re-consider as an option. I'm locked & loaded for NU to become a 7-seed in Omaha. Let's do this, Big Red!!

Hello.

The pregame show will be interesting.

Great song from a great band. I thought about posting that one but wasn't sure it would go over on this board.

I also have PTSD.  I am not going to rest easy until I see Nebraska's name in the tournament bracket.

If we win tonight and against Rutgers, I'm not going to worry about whether we're in or not.

 

Then I'll focus all my worrying on what seed we get.
