Demon Deacon Game Thread: Shake me, WAKE me.....

[cipsucks]

.....when it's over.

I really dislike these 8 p.m. tipoffs, and I know we have some more to go this year. Oh well....

I'm looking forward to seeing how these Huskers will play on the road. Sometimes, a change of scenery will do ya good, and after the lackluster performance against Kent State, they need a shot of energy.

Winning at Wake Forest will by no means require a Herculean effort, but they'll need to play their best game to date to do it. I hope Shields is available for some minutes, and I hope Ray has learned to drive in the last couple days.

Any chance I get to feature Motown on a game thread, I'll jump at it. The Funk Brothers were unbelievable musicians. Speaking of The Funk Brothers, I see Bootsy has yet to make it to the new forum. Loved his avatar......

Anyway, let's get a road win tonight. I have a feeling they will be few and far between this year. Go Big Red! Or, as Levi Stubbs says, "Boogaloo."

Wish I could see the game. We don't get ESPNU

Hey, following it on the game thread is the next best thing to being there.....

[Huskerpapa]

Let's get er done boys.

[bball23]

Here's to hoping NU plays well tonight. Will be tough being the 1st road game as well as 1st BCS team. Just gotta hope NU hangs tough and gives them self a chance to win late.

Miles just said on pregame that during shooting drills today, the players shot just as well as they did at home.

Oh well. Maybe our defense will step up.....

Let's get it done against a team that's picked to finish last in the ACC. Good time to get a road win here!

[Dr Lou]

I wonder if he put Menke on Andre's shoulders and confirmed that the hoop was 10 ft?

It would have been funnier if he did it vice versa......

I heard the same exact thing last year......

[Norm Peterson]

Here's a question. If you put Andre on Menke's shoulders, would it exceed Andre's vertical leap?

[Concrete]

anyone know if Shields is playing? suppose i'll find out shortly

I didn't hear it discussed on pregame. Then again, I was distracted by the mental picture of Almeida bringing Menke to an untimely death....

[Huskerpapa]

Gotta stop penetration.

No comment.

Benny - nice

[cipsucks]

Talley picks up where he left off. Parker with a bucket. We're up 4-2.

Hey I have a photo of the big guy flushing it.

[Huskerpapa]

Andre is not looking very sharp right now.

[HuskerFever]

Need some production out of Ray.

[Huskerpapa]

Gotta box out boys

[colhusker]

Boxing out or the lack there of about got us beat vs Tulane.

[Concrete]

doubt we'll win due to depth but good grief Wake is awful.

[HuskerFever]

It's not the depth I'm concerned about with opponents like this, it's the shooting %.

[Huskerpapa]

This is somewhat painful.
