Popular Post Jacob Bigelow Posted July 22 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 22 What’s going on everybody. Figured I’d fire up an account on the board to be amongst the basketball folks in the dog days of summer. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m entering my third full season covering Nebraska Basketball for Huskers Illustrated magazine. I also host a basketball podcast, The Stretch Big with Jacob Bigelow. You may have also heard me randomly popping in on 1620 over the last year or so on either the morning or midday shows. In my college years I was a student manager for the basketball program at Nebraska under Coach Miles. Planning to be around this summer and fall leading into the new season. If anybody’s got some off-season questions, would be happy to answer them to the best of my ability. Happy to be here. jayschool, arliepro, busticket and 24 others 5 1 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhcmatt Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 As a regular listener to the 1620 segments, I'm going to add that he's going to have Ali Farokhmanesh and Michael Lewis on the pod in the near future HuscurAdam, ShortDust, Jacob Bigelow and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskerpapa Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 (edited) Jacob, how much access do you have to practices and the team? For example is it outlandish to think that you can/will share observations? For example, how is the team chemistry? Is a player or players really standing out at this point? Any inside fodder will help quench our offseason thirst... And oh yeah, welcome Edited July 22 by Huskerpapa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskerFever Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 Not that you have influence over any of this, but the basketball merchandise the university offers is sparse and just bad. It's really sad considering our ticket sales are in the Top 25 basically every year since the PBA opened up. If we take our coaches seriously, the coverage of the sport seriously, then why do they act like we're a Division 2 basketball school when it comes to merchandise?

The best looking basketball specific gear I’ve seen is the 3 years worth of it that I got being a part of the program. Think there could be much better merchandising for all sports, especially in the arena and in and around Lincoln. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covering hoops is my side job so I haven’t been able to make it to any of the summer media availabilities either unfortunately. Right now I’m buying any and all Nick Janowski stock that I can buy. On paper, I’m far more intrigued by this team on paper than I was by this past season’s group before the year. All the vibes have been good, but it’s also July. basketballjones, Coaches kid, Huskerpapa and 2 others 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you see the NU staff developing Nick J as a point guard, a shooting guard, or just an all-purpose "baller"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob Bigelow Posted August 5 Author Report Share Posted August 5 Had a nice podcast chat with Joe Jackson who does great film breakdown content on Twitter and YouTube about various Big Ten hoops topics including Nebraska and their newcomers going into this season. Give it a listen if you need to scratch your basketball itch on August 5th. basketballjones, huskerkid21, Huskerpapa and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Bigelow Posted August 19 Author Report Share Posted August 19 Dropped a very fun pod with Ali Farokhmanesh. Could talk to that dude for hours about just about anything. One of the best people I know. May be a little too inside baseball on Colorado State and the Mountain West for some folks, but there’s some golden stories and great tidbits about Niko Medved. Have another old friend whose now coaching in the Mountain West coming up soon. basketballjones and ShortDust 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
