Bring on the Lopers

[hhcmatt]

We'll be playing an exhibition game against UN-Kearney on Monday, Nov 4th

 

You'll get a chance to see the Huskers and the new arena, assuming you're a season ticket holder, for their first practice on Friday September 27th

 

You're on your own for October.

I got goose bumps reading that article.  I am getting extremely excited for this season to start.

Wait, the university is in charge of staffing the arena?  Did I read that right?

If Tai and the other new guys turn out to be all they're billing them to be, this is a team that should make some noise this year. 

 

The hype so far:

 

Pitchford is a very athletic 6'10" with skills and not raw.

Smith is a beefy 6'8" and 250# who's also athletic and skilled.

Fuller is a surprisingly good athlete with ++ skills who's a smooth scorer.

Petteway is an athletic 6'6" with ++ ball skills who can get to the rim and loves to rebound.

Tai Webster is a tall (6'3"-6'4") PG with top 50-level skills and very good athleticism.

 

(That's a starting lineup right there, folks, if the hype is accurate.  But, to that we add ...)

 

Biggs is a lightning-quick point who can drive, dish and defend.

Hawkins is a great perimeter shooter and has the skills to play point.

 

And last but not least ...

 

Tia Carrere who looks great in a bikini.  And that's not just hype.  That's fact, Jack.

It appears that way.  I'd imagine it's only for university events.

That seems weird to have multiple staffs for one joint.

[uneblinstu]

Could have been a negotiated deal to reduce the rent or something along those lines.  Univ. provides event staff, city provides building maintenance.  Something along those lines.

[atskooc]

That very well could be.

If this is the case or something similar, they should make the "N" on the side bigger just because.

Any chance of a Crale Bauer or Bart Kofed sighting?

Lopers has some mighty fine teams back in the late 70's and early 80's - Just ask Hastings!

Hastings had some pretty good teams in that period as well. Those games were back alley dog fights. It usally came down to Kearney or Hastings going to KC for nationals at that time.

Kearney had a run of 12 straight years of going to KC, mostly at the expense of Hastings.
