This is just a totally random question....does anyone know if BTN is showing reruns of Football and Basketball games right now based on school or total randomness.  I keep turning past the station hoping to see some Husker Hoops from last season (or any season), but have seen no sign of the Huskers in any way shape or form in a while on the station.

 

ok...now to help support some good friends of mine. I don't know if any of you that live in Lincoln attend many non husker sport events...but this Saturday night at Pershing Lincoln's No Coast Derby Girls (currently ranked #25 in the world by the group that ranks derby teams) are going to be hosting the Denver Roller Dolls (currently ranked #2).  No Coast is 13-0 this season beating their opponents by an average score of 200+ points.  They normally draw between 1500 to 2000 people to Pershing and would love to sell this one out as it's the biggest bout in the 8 year history of the team. If any of you could come out and support them that would be great!

Yeah, BTN does do days themed after each team, so Nebraska will have a day or two throughout the summer.  Not sure any hoops games will make the cut this year like Indiana did last, but hopefully that will be changing in coming years.

I was thinking the same thing about BTN. Now that basketball is officially over and the best I can do for sports viewing at the gym now is Royals baseball I've been turing on BTN and watching old games. Now I guess I know.

 

I have yet to see the No Coast Derby girls but I have wanted to. I've heard its grand fun. This might be the week to check them out.

Get the banked track back then you have something.

Hopefully a Husker Hoops matchup will appear on BTN this summer (such as the remarkable turn-around in the 2nd half of the Iowa game in Lincoln). From what I've gathered, it seems like most of the games shown so far have been between the top tier teams with significant drama highlighted... maybe next summer NU will be in the mix for quality replays for finally conquering that NCAA tourney victory drought!

Lol! The banked tracks are fun...but most of the teams can't afford them. I guess they cost around $30 thousand to build and then more to store and set up. The flat track has become more popular. They are actually just as fun.
