    Uneblinstu's post game chatter: vol 6, ed 3 - W. Illinois

      5gSUJ.png

      Congrats on Coach Miles getting win #300!

      - I thought they played pretty well the first half and into the second. Seemed to let up a bit as the game wore down. Not sure if that was a mental or physical thing.

      - I was impressed with the energy they played with to start the game. There clearly wasn't the energy in the building there was on Friday and they didn't let that impact their game. That was good to see.

      - Smith played well, for the most part, provided a boost in the first half when it seemed like we were struggling to find a shot. Showed some nice quickness, too.

    - Pitchford is going to have a devil of a time defending the post this year by himself. When Miles says we're a big away, that's what he's talking about. He's going to get backed down pretty easily in the Big Ten. He'll cause matchup problems on the other end, but that's going to be tough for him.

    - Was also good to see him go to the pump fake and drive a couple of times tonight. Nice added dimension if he can do that to his game.

    - I made the comment after Peltz's blocking foul that it was nearly impossible to draw a charge this year...then Webster comes right down the floor and draws one.

    - The chink in Webster's game right now: free throw shooting. Thought he was off in general tonight, in terms of scoring. Thought he did a pretty good job of distributing and finding his teammates. How many turnovers did he have?

    - Parker was a spark plug again tonight. I think he'll still get minutes when Biggs and Gallegos come back. Not sure how many, but he'll get some.

    - Shields did what Shields does. He's Mr. Steady for the Huskers.

    - Petteway, seemed like he forced it a bit. Still finished in double figures, but thought he tried to do a little too much tonight.

    - Rivers had one shot where last year I think he pulls up for a 15-footer, but he drove to the rim, missed the layup but was fouled. I think we'll see this a lot this year. I'll be curious to see how many mid-range jumpers we see as the year goes on when you're almost guaranteed to get the foul called if you take it to the rim.

    - Fewer than ten turnovers was nice. Hope that continues.

    - Sounds like Fuller is for sure going to redshirt now. That should pay off in a couple of years.

    - Not a bad turnout tonight, though it did feel like a Nebrasketball crowd. Not a ton of energy in the building. Wasn't sure what I expected tonight. Student section filled in better than I thought it was going to about 5 minutes before the game.

    - Really interested to see what the crowd is on Sunday. S. Carolina St. might be the worst team on the schedule. That one could be U-G-L-Y...

    I don't see the rules changing, nor do I see them stopping the call.

    ......

    That's why I'm dissappointed in a guy like Fuller red shirting because he is a shooter.

     

    If the rules aren't going to change back, we'll have Fuller for 4 more years.

    Our pre-conference schedule will be a good reality check...if this team is good enough to dance this year, there is no reason Fuller couldn't burn that redshirt at any time.  If we look like we're still a year away, redshirting Fuller will be the right move.

    uneblinstu: I forgot to give you props for your very clever use of "300" , one of my favorite movies, to start this thread. I note that Xerxes now appears to play center for the New Mexico State Aggies.

    I would say that the 2 girls kissing last year had an impact though

     

    Calling you out.  Photo evidence required.

     

     

    I don't have photo proof, but I did see it.

     

    Other than that my favorite was always the big guys pulling up their shirts and doing pink bellies.

    About the new emphasis the hand check and the charge/block rule. My take is that the refs are over correcting, almost to a comical degree early in the season. My thinking is they'll lax as the season goes on.

     

    but I could be wrong. It's happened once before.

    That was me.  I'm not so much taking credit as much as uneblinstu might not want to take credit for that.   ;)

    My hope is the refs figure out the block/charge thing a little more and the players also figure it out and play the game accordingly. I hope they do not lax one bit on the hand check/chucking/bumping perimeter rules. If they stick with it, the game will get better as a result. The players are the ones who need to do the adjusting. And the fans.

    You never know how people are going to react to seeing Tim Miles photoshoped with nipples.

    As a hetero girl myself, I might be a little less enthusiastic in my reaction, but if memory serves, it wasn't the kind of girl-on-girl kissing that's exactly, erm, delightful. Think Melissa Etheridge-Ellen DeGeneres vs. Portia De Rossi-Amber Heard. Just saying...photo evidence may not be quite what you're looking for.

    To combine a couple of topics here, this gives me an idea for the student section.

     

    We need some female students that look more Amber Heard than Melissa Etheridge to wear low-cut jeans and high-cut thongs to twerk toward the foul line whenever our opponents are shooting freethrows.
