Huskers in Spain: Day 1

In the air

Showing enthusiasm for the snacks which were brought along.

Might be worth noting:

Some guys just can't handle beer being served at McDonalds

I'll be the first to say it... those shorts look hideous without the tops (but maybe that's just me?).

#1 - Tai looks sculpted in that upper photo...man.

#2 - Is it me, or does Mrs. Miles look a bit unhappy.  Ma'am, you are in Spain, watching the Huskers, smile and enjoy life

the reports of morrow putting on 7 pounds of muscle appear to be valid. he looks a lot bigger.

Day 2 started a few hours ago.

Huskers playing today at 1 pm CST

I'll be the first to say it... those shorts look hideous without the tops (but maybe that's just me?).

 

Does that mean I get to be the first to say those shorts look hideous even with those tops.

Ed Morrow is gonna be a realllllly good one.

It looks like Basketball Travelers (based out of Seattle) is the service many of these teams have been using to schedule teams and itineraries:

Five guys averaging in double figures isn't too bad and pretty balanced shot distribution

Doesn't look like they're going to get blown out in any games unless they fall apart tomorrow. Opponent is expected to be about as good competitive as their opponent on Tuesday.

We're in midseason 3pt shooting form!

 

 

 

I'll be the first to say it... those shorts look hideous without the tops (but maybe that's just me?).

 

 

Does that mean I get to be the first to say those shorts look hideous even with those tops.

 

I will say... these jersey look much much better as we continue to win.

Interesting how Shields, White and Webster have almost identical lines - White with several more 3-pt attemps, Webster with 1/3 as many rebounds, Shields with several more assists, everything else almost identical.
