I actually thought KU got some calls myself. Which goes to show that depending on how you see the game, can be different. Even after the Grahm foul, Mason clearly double dribbled when he hit the big 3 pointer late in the game. Nobody mentioned it as it happened so fast, but he clearly put two hands on the ball as he was about to pass it, re-picked it up and then dribbled again. I for one was happy to see KU lose. I have NO sympathy for them not getting a "few calls" as they tend to get them all (at least through my eyes)

well, you would think if someone was going to bolt, you would have heard something by now-----but, guess you never know.

Arop named captain of the LJS Super State team - he's the only jr on the first team Feature story: http://journalstar.com/sports/columnists/rj-hambleton/super-state-arop-finds-the-right-touch-during-big-year/article_99f0b7c6-b6f1-55c9-bad3-0e81ce95381f.html List: http://journalstar.com/sports/high-school/basketball/boys/boys-super-state-hoops-the-tradesmen/collection_6b91dfab-3a37-527e-a646-65bdfa16b8d6.html

I watched his film also and I thought he did a lot of things that I liked. First of all, when he would set up in the low blocks, he would do it at 6'10" and 250 pounds. I really liked the way he ran the floor at 6'10" and 250 pounds. There were a couple of times in the flow of the game where he really stepped in and was 6'10" and 250 pounds. So, I mean, I don't think we have anyone on our roster who can do those things at 6'10" and 250 pounds. Nebraska has recruited a bunch of big guys that cant play. That's the point. Your sarcasm and view that he is a good player because of his size is well beneath your own intelligence.

New poster on the baseball portion of this website. Didn't know there was so many worries about Darin Erstad as coach. I personally think he is solid and has been slowly building us back up to a really good baseball team. ALOT of contributors are underclassmen. Anyways, they are on a roll now. 12 of 13 I believe. Let's get the sweep tomorrow. GBR

Actually, if it would help deliver Darnay Holmes to the football team, maybe coach Miles should fall on the sword and take him.

I thought Ed Morrow had the last Snickers to deal with his "rumblings" earlier. Just sayin'

Not really. Have you seen the sunshine pumpin' going on around here with the "next year" crowd?

Danny Nee went 12-6 against Altman between K-State and Creighton, and the wins over Creighton were almost always blowouts. There was no rivalry until Nee was fired. So, no, clearly Altman isn't, but he was extremely smart for taking the Oregon job as his system works great with good athletes. Altman was never a great recruiter, but Oregon recruits itself. He was probably a better in-game coach than anyone we've had, but he was a below average recruiter, in my opinion, and recruiting in college basketball is about 5 times more important than in-game coaching. Altman would've been another Sadler at UNL--solid in-game coaching, sub par talent. If we're talking upside alone (recruiting ability plus coaching), I think TM has displayed recruiting potential we haven't seen since Nee, and Nee was definitely a better coach than Altman because of his ability to recruit. In fairness to Altman, he inherited a horrid program. He closed the talent gap with NU by 1999 and they turned in a winning season. So if you want to compare going head to head with reasonably comparable talent levels, you can't hold pre 1999 Creighton against him. They were a bad mid major when he arrived. He went 7-19 in year one, four years later the guy is winning an NCAA tourney game...AT CREIGHTON!His record after that vs NU is 8-2. Let's at least call it the way it was. How can you turn around a 7-19 mid major in 4 years and not be a good recruiter?? Using this logic you cannot count TM first two games versus Creighton or most of his head to head record against Greg McDermott bc McDermott has almost always been at the more established program. I would also like to point out that you used both of these records against Miles to justify your dissatisfaction. You can't use records to crush TM and "prove" how bad of a coach he is but then turnaround and forgive Altman for parts of his records due to certain circumstances; circumstances that both he and Miles seem to be facing. So please let's just "call it the way it is." Do you think it's coincidental that he not only got there, but has actually won 2 NCAA tourney games from 1999-2006? If you think that Creighton is some easy place to recruit great talent to, then you must think we are standing on a gold mine here at UNL, just waiting for things to explode.
