a0t0w0 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Why are they considered secret? Do they do this every year? BTW, you're a strong candidate for best avatar ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49r Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 It's too bad Nate Wolters is in the NBA now. That would have been a fun matchup for our guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, former NU target, Iowa decommit, and Walter Pitchford teammate at Florida, Cody Larson now plays for SDSU. So there's that.

Searching 4 Chester Surles Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Why are they considered secret? Do they do this every year? "Secret" because no one outside the two programs involved are allowed to attend, and there's supposed to be no reporting on the outcome/who did what/yada. They occur every year but sometimes teams choose to just do the ol' "exhibition versus an overmatched D2 school" route instead. NU did the scrimmage thing versus Marquette a few years ago. I can't remember if they did it other seasons (although I have a feeling there was at least one I'm forgetting). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwestDrummer Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Why are they considered secret? Do they do this every year? BTW, you're a strong candidate for best avatar ever. They're secret, because as far as the schools are concerned they never happened. They aren't allowed to make any sort of comments, release stats, etc. Regarding my avatar, I have quite the story for you. First of all, my avatar comes from a sign I made and took to the February 2nd Ohio State game last season. Fast forward to August. my friends and I were guests at the Eaton-Abdouche wedding (Gregory Eaton is the Nebrasketball video coordinator), along with Tim Miles and a few other assistant coaches. Kiley (the bride) assigned us to the table right next to Miles' at the reception, knowing we'd be pretty psyched to sit that close to him. About half way through the reception Pat Norris (Nebraska equipment manager) goes over and shows Miles a picture of my sign on his phone. A couple of minutes later Miles walks up to our table, holds the phone up and says, "Alright, I wanna know who's responsible for this." I raise my hand. He then asks what prompted me to create something like that. So I give him the back story, explaining that it comes from his persona when he's either barking at a player or the officials. I tell him that in the heat of the moment he sort of resembles a little rat terrier, which he gets a pretty good kick out of. He then shakes my hand, and thanks us all for being supporters of the program. Then, just before walking away, he looks at me and says, "From the bottom of my heart, fuck you." Well all, including Miles, bust out in side splitting laughter as he meanders back to his table. From there we proceeded to get even more drunk, thanks to the open bar, and a good time was had by all. a0t0w0, atskooc, 49r and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icedragon101 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 What a great way to get experience!!! we should do as many of these as is allowed by the NCAA. If we scrimmage 3 or 4 or even 5 teams before pre season starts, that could pay off big time for us. How many of these are allowed by the NCAA??

Two full scrimmages that is. If I remember right, you could hav a triangular where you play each team a half as well? Maybe I am off target here.

I don't know about the triangular aspect, but I believe you're right on the total number. Two scrimmages or two exhibitions. Or one exhibition and one scrimmage.
