2XL (My off-season conditioning program didn't go quite as well as hoped.)

Looks like this is going to happen!

Why don't we just go with the NU Coliseum Dungeon!

Chester Surles made some pretty compelling points - do you mind going into detail regarding your confidence that this shirt is acceptable? Approval from Husker Licensing Department and Tim Miles. Coach Miles' only condition was that we don't send him one.

Here is the deal...make sure if you are wearing the shirt, you DO NOT get busted. I would love to see the shirts shown in the media, but not part of a mugshot

It seems the feeling is quite mutual. Or a little more than mutual. Here's a post from Bluejay Bilas (which, as an aside, would be a more clever nickname if it was BlueJay Bilas -- subtle, but it makes a difference) from the Bluejay Underground site: I'm not half the Husker hater some of you are. Nor, am I a Husker football fan like a few of you. When we're not playing them, I'm kind of ambivalent. But, I could not help but chuckle this morning when I saw that Tim Miles' first 2015 commit is an Aussie. Dude (Miles, not the Aussie) comes in basically trashing the harmless and mostly good-natured Doc Sadler by saying that he (Miles, not Sadler) only enjoys jucos and international players in moderation. Fast forward about 18 months, and he's signed up, if my memory's correct, 2 jucos, 3 international players, 2 transfers (i.e., jucos who attended a 4-year rather than a junior college for a year or two), and 3 high school kids. 10 Miles kids for the '12 through '15 classes so far, and only three are American high school recruits. So, basically Miles is half publicist with a whistle and clipboard, and half "turnaround artist" who can't actually execute the recruiting strategy he wants to execute. Don't be surprised when #Nebrasketball finishes between 10th and 14th the next four seasons, and a new coach begins telling the media that he doesn't see twitter as a useful coaching tool, and that he values actions more than words. I put the quote in italics in a pretty font because that seemed to be more suitable for the refined sensibilities of our Creighton friends. But, beyond that ... Seriously? This guy frickin' knows the origin of every player Miles has recruited since he's been here? And we're the ones obsessed with THEM? Hey, top that, Husker fans. How many jucos has Greg McDermott recruited to Creighton? Anyone? Yeah, I don't know either. P.S. There's nothing that says "ambivalent" quite like knowing the origin of every recruit signed by the Huskers since Miles has been here.

I think any lack of success this year should be blamed on George Bush's recruits.

Personally I have always thought it depends on the depth chart at the program. If the player can't cut the 10 man rotation, then redshirt him. If he is raw with a lot of potential and won't be in the top 8, then redshirt him. If he can start of provide valuable minutes off of the bench then play him. With this being said if there is a recruiting "miss" you don't want that person to redshirt. Eight that will play in my opinion...Gallegos/Petteway/Pitchford/Biggs/Rivers/Shields/Webster/Smith How many minutes are left after those 8? Are Hawkins or Fuller good enough to spend a redshirt on? I would think they would be rated as our #9 and #10 players.

ALSO DAMN THEM FOR MAKING US ONLY PLAY MICHIGAN AT HOME!!! OH WHY MUST WE SUFFER THIS INDIGNITY??? DONT THEY KNOW THAT A TRUE ROUND-ROBIN SCHEDULE IS THE ONLY WAY???
