A bit of news...

The OWH is behind the times.  That was news several weeks ago.  Nothing new in what they posted other than to suggest uncertainty about if and when Tai arrives in Lincoln. 

 

Do they administer a NZ version of the SAT?

 

"If a Kiwi leaves Auckland at 2 km/hr, how long will it take it to reach Tauranga if Tauranga is 216 km distant?"

 

This is a trick question, Norm.  There is no indication of the direction of travel of said Kiwi.

 

Maybe the better question is "If a particular Husker beat-writer for the Omaha World Herald is unwilling to adapt to new information gathering sources (such as social media) because he doesn't 'get what all the fuss is about', and then proceeds to get scooped (by said media source) nearly a week before he writes a story regarding a topic for which he gets paid handsomely to be an authoritative source of information on...is said beat-writer still considered relevant?"

 

How fast is he typing?

 

 

2 km/hr?

 

At that rate, he should become irrelevant in roughly -2.5 x 365 x (2⁴ + 2³) hours. 

 

 

2 and a half years ago.

 

Sounds about right...

 

High marks on the SAT math section, my friend. 

 

Norm....I see you used the new fangled 25 hour day in your formula.

 

Is that so you will have enough time to see your namesake in Omaha this weekend?

I have no problem with Menke retaining the schollie next year.  I would be very happy if we got a one-and-done player that could push us to the next level, and as mentioned, that could still happen; yet I will not hold my breath. 

[Norm Peterson]

25 hour day?  Better give it another look see. 

 

It's 2 point 5 times 365, not twenty-five times 365.

 

Any easy mistake to make but enough that you'd fail the math portion on the New Zealand SAT.

Norm, I think we should check Trickey for dyslexia.  He obviously read the 2^3 part of your formula as 3^2...  

[trickey]

49r..... You are right I did the dyslexic 3 squared!

 

I hope this does not mean Norm does not have enough time for George!

[Cybrrmonky]

 

I assume this means that the Menke scholarship will go to....Menke.

I also assume he graduates this year and he improves our APR.

Having Menke tie up a scholarship for two years ...

 

That just ...

 

I hate to knock the kid, but ...

 

Wow.

 

There aren't enough scholarships in basketball to set any aside to give to "deserving" walkons like there is in football.  That's like voluntarily limiting yourself to 12 spots for 2 years.  Have we also put ourselves on probation and banned ourselves from post-season for 2 years as well?  You could commit some major recruiting violations and the NCAA wouldn't even hit you that hard.

 

Just dumb we didn't keep one of Sadlers JUCO's.  I would love to have had Jerran Young here.  The Bosnian guy would have really helped as well but Miles probably couldn't keep him b/c of the trouble he & his teammates got in during their last JUCO year.

Its a sad waste when we need help inside.

With math skills like these, I'll bet we could figure out the max airspeed velocity of an unladened European swallow!

 

Cue the Monty Python jokes.

OK!    Here is the height of Middle Ages math and science.

I get that Miles needed the roster space to try and swing for the fences.

In retrospect, we would have been better off hanging onto Jerran Young or Fahro. (assuming a senior transfer doesn't magically appear on campus which still could happen)

 

Hindsight is 20/20

Not that we have an open spot...yes it would have benefitted us to bring them in.  They are average, at best, players....no reason to bring them in last year if you think you can get someone better in this class.

Would've preferred that we found a late transfer...but it is what it is.  Better him to help our APR than just someone at this point.   Four years from now...then maybe you take a desperation shot.  Now...just keep building your program the right way.

The answer would be no. It's usually a regurgitation of what the LJS puts out several days before. I can't remember the last time he's brought info to the table that hasn't already been reported online somewhere.

So. For those who haven't noticed yet, Lee B finally got on the twitter bandwagon today. @leebeeowh

...coincidence?

The same day Hillary Rodham Clinton also stated tweeting? HUUMMM.

I read his twitter handle as LEEBO because it makes me smile.
