I met Ben Knobbe during the Clone Wars. He was going by Obi-Wan then.

With the roster that we have available for us this year, Rivers needs to command minutes. I mean, he really needs to command minutes. I mean, if he's not solidly in the main rotation and getting at least 20 min/game this year with the kind of roster we have, then he probably needs to look elsewhere to finish his career. This season represents, among other things, an opportunity for younger players to get significant experience and playing time. The competition for minutes is only going to get tougher in coming years. If there's a scholarship kid on this roster who can't get meaningful minutes, he'll have to do some soul searching and ask himself whether a lower level school might be a better fit.

First I want that jacket/shirt thing Coach Miles is wearing. Second, I hate when coaches are interviewed, they give such vanilla answers it's painful. BUT I will watch any interview Coach Miles ever does while at Nebraska. He's so engaging.

Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan... Now, that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time.

I dont know what you guys are talking about having a back up for benny parker? The kid is a beast and will play until he cant breath! Hes got great basketball iq and the speed of light...All in all we will surprise a lot of people doubting our lineup as understaffed or not enough guys to play. Just wait and see what happens this coming sunday.

In case someone stumbles upon this thread and wonders if Weds. tickets are still available...they are spoken for.

Gallegos can slide into the point if needed. Mike Peltz....Menke....could get dicey. My guess on first guy off the bench is Shields. I wish it would be Rivers because then I would feel like he's made a move for more playing time. Buckle in boys and girls! It's almost showtime!

What day will we know for sure? For absolute sure?? March 14th, 2013.

HHCC SCORING: The object of the game is to have the lowest accumulated points at the end of the year. Scoring is taken from three variables (margin of victory, actual score, correct game winner); with possible bonus points. Margin of Victory: This is how many points either team wins by. Scoring: Difference between Actual MoV (Husker score & Opponent score) Predicted MoV (Predicted Husker score & Predicted Opponent score). This is then multiplied by 2. Bonus: There is a -5 bonus for correctly predicting margin of victory. To get the bonus two things must happen. 1. Your margin of victory must match the actual margin of victory. 2. You picked the correct winner. EXAMPLE Prediction: NU 79 Opponent 72 Actual: NU 72 Opponent 62 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- (Actual (72 62) = 10 - Predicted (79-72) = 7) = 3 * 2 = 6 MoV = 6 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual Score: This is the final point totals of both teams. Scoring: (Predicted Husker score vs. Actual Husker score) + (Predicted Opponent score Actual Opponent score) Bonus: There is a -5 bonus for correctly predicting either the Huskers score or the opponents. EXAMPLE Prediction: NU 79 Opponent 72 Actual: NU 72 Opponent 62 ------------------------------------------ (79 72) + (62 72) 7 + 10 = Actual Score 17 ------------------------------------------ Game Winner: Picking the correct winner. Scoring: Zero points for correct winner. 10 point penalty for incorrect choice. (Example: 0 point penalty, predicted: NEB actual: NEB) The final score for this game would be 23. Correctly predicting the actual game score nets all -5 bonuses and a -25 bonus. Missed Game: Your score for missing a game is (the highest score of picked games + 25 points). End of year: Your highest score will be subtracted from your final point total. No Games Missed equals a -25 bonus to your final score. HHCC RULES: All new HHCC game threads will be posted following the previous game. The first game will be up after the last exhibition game. Post your prediction in the HHCC thread. All predictions must be in by tipoff. Any corrections to your prediction should be done in the HHCC game thread. If you are unable to edit your score, just quote your previous score and post the new score underneath. All score updates will eventually be posted. Hopefully sometime between games, but not always possible because of games being close together and/or other things going on.

Y'know, I told 'em I wanted seats near the bathroom. Just didn't realize they'd put me quite THAT close. And that looks like a concession stand right next to the John. Suh-weet! I'm lovin' this new arena already!
