Change in Creighton/NU game date.

[jimmykc]

Game to be a night game Nov. 22 to avoid the Saturday football game against Wisconsin. Bluejay fans won't have to pack both red and blue sweater vests.

Matt, of course, scooped me on this, but I usually skip the "opponents" thread and thought this deserved its own thread so that all Creighton fans could adjust their vest agendas. 

[Vinny]

That’s too bad. I really wanted them to overlap.

My tongue is in cheek here...

Actually, people make it sound as if all Creighton basketball fans are also Nebraska football fans.  Not so fast and also not true.  A recent survey that I conducted shows that only 83% of Creighton basketball fans are also husker football fans.  Of those 83%, 52% are Creighton basketball fans, simply so that they can diversify their wardrobe.

Math checks out.

I get hazed unmercifully by Bluejay fans on the OWH page & one of them even challenged me to a “Fist Fight” at the wait for it…Colorado/NU tailgate this year!

I'd figure out first if that Creighton fan had ever heard the duck story

Number one, @jimmykc, "How dare you?" You don't check my yearly HUSKER OPPONENTS thread.... 

 

Second of all, I forget what I wanted to say, other than... 'How dare you?'

It's just a dumb joke @jimmykc, that lady is from "The Office." No worries, mate. Carry on!

What’s funny is MOST of these Online Tinkerbells act like the Creighton/Nebraska Series started in 2010.

I can never not think about Creighton and not think about the large one ball pool many moons ago where I called out the operator for a horrific bs made up ruling letting people back in after elimination and the dorky Chad Millard blew up my inbox. The ownage I put that poor guy through was classic on the exchange.  He was offering up his address to go fight him he was so flustered.  It was like taking candy from a baby.  

[Huskers/Cubs]

I believe another reason the NU game against Creighton was moved to Friday Nov 22nd was because the Big East TV partners have football commitments on Saturday November 23rd.

I wish it would have stayed on Saturday it would have been funny to see Crayton have an empty gym for a home game.

And the remainder of the fans who would have been there would have been hanging out in the concourse during the game.

Jon Rothstein has the Jays listed at #8 in his Top 45, did not bother to list Isaac Traudt.

If they get Alexander and Kalkbrenner back, they are easily a top 5 team.  If they only get Kalkbrenner back, they are still probably a top 10 team.

Without Trey they are maybe top 20 IMO. Will take some time for the young guys to develop and without Trey/Baylor, Ashworth will not get many open looks. They will still be good either way unfortunately.

Alexander declared for NBA draft today.

With the recruits/transfers they got and if Kalkbrenner returns (which seems likely at this point) along with their other returning players, they will be loaded and no question be a top 10 team.

Depends on how many MWC teams they have on the non-con
