I mean looking at this it does seem like Burt grew quite a bit - good for him. That's true dedication to the program and his personal development. His eye level is exactly the same height as Eli Rice's who's listed at 6'8". So as far as looking over fences and traps, they're the same height. IDK FELLAS - THIS LOOKS LIKE A GOOD LOOKING BASKETBALL TEAM BABY

Are we at the drawing lines on team photos stage of the season already? wow. ...also I did not find any tippy-toe standing anywhere in there.

Sitting in my office working on data entry for a study when a co-worker walked in and told me a plane had just hit one of the twin towers. We talked about it figuring the pilot had to have had some sort of medical issue. We had an old black in white tv in the back lab at the time and we walked over to that just after the second plane hit. Center director had a quick all hands meeting and they sent us home since we are a government lab.

Thought I would suggest a small change...

Kinda, sorta strange to see these days. Note, the same style and color of shoes are being worn by the entire team. Old school.

I was working out at 7:15 a.m. MT, on a treadmill in Fort Collins. Had to get off the treadmill and call the editor of the student newspaper at CSU, where I served as the news adviser and writing coach. Spent the rest of the day both counseling and coaching, trying to get 19- to 22-year-old journalists to try to rein in their emotions enough to write and design the stories and newspaper of their lives. On the heels of Columbine mass murder just two years earlier and just down the road, the student were wondering if the world had gone fully off the rails. They weren't entirely wrong.

Well folks, the preseason KenPom rankings has come out and I'm as excited as @Navin R. Johnson when the new phone books arrive! I'll do my regular update when I get a chance. Ken isn't as generous to us as Torvik is this year but it's still BY FAR the highest preseason KenPom ranking of the Hoiberg era. For now, I'll post his schedule predictions: 58 Nebraska (0-0) Cornhuskers · Lincoln, NE Head coach: Fred Hoiberg 2024 Schedule Game Plan | Opponent Tracker Date Rk Opponent Result Location Record Conf Mon Nov 6 352 Lindenwood W, 84-58 72 99% Home Thu Nov 9 344 Florida A&M W, 80-57 71 98% Home Mon Nov 13 229 Rider W, 80-65 71 92% Home Wed Nov 15 276 Stony Brook W, 79-61 70 95% Home Sat Nov 18 175 Oregon St. W, 74-66 70 79% Neutral Wed Nov 22 89 Duquesne W, 76-69 72 74% Home Sun Nov 26 174 Cal St. Fullerton W, 76-64 71 86% Home Sun Dec 3 12 Creighton L, 75-71 72 36% Home Wed Dec 6 112 Minnesota W, 73-70 71 60% Away × Sun Dec 10 13 Michigan St. L, 72-69 71 38% Home × Sun Dec 17 25 Kansas St. L, 77-69 74 24% Away Wed Dec 20 255 North Dakota W, 81-64 72 94% Home Fri Dec 29 345 South Carolina St. W, 86-62 75 99% Home Wed Jan 3 49 Indiana W, 73-71 72 57% Home × Sat Jan 6 20 Wisconsin L, 73-65 70 22% Away × Tue Jan 9 1 Purdue L, 75-69 70 27% Home × Fri Jan 12 50 Iowa L, 79-75 73 34% Away × Wed Jan 17 59 Rutgers L, 71-68 71 39% Away × Sat Jan 20 40 Northwestern W, 71-70 71 53% Home × Tue Jan 23 35 Ohio St. W, 73-72 71 51% Home × Sat Jan 27 22 Maryland L, 75-67 71 24% Away × Thu Feb 1 20 Wisconsin L, 70-68 70 42% Home × Sun Feb 4 19 Illinois L, 78-69 73 21% Away × Wed Feb 7 40 Northwestern L, 73-68 71 30% Away × Sat Feb 10 44 Michigan W, 73-71 72 55% Home × Sat Feb 17 85 Penn St. W, 76-69 72 73% Home × Wed Feb 21 49 Indiana L, 74-70 72 34% Away × Sun Feb 25 112 Minnesota W, 76-67 71 80% Home × Thu Feb 29 35 Ohio St. L, 75-69 71 28% Away × Sun Mar 3 59 Rutgers W, 71-68 71 62% Home × Sun Mar 10 44 Michigan L, 74-69 72 32% Away × Projected record: 17-14 9-11 Chance of unbeaten record: 0.00% 0.00% Chance of winless record: 0.00% 0.00% Projected record is based on cumulative probabilities of winning each game and may not equal the sum of individual game predictions.

If we do that, it would put us at 21-10 overall and 12–8 in conference before the big 10 tournament and I daresay that would be more than enough to get us in.

Uhmmmm - Literally when would be a better time? The photo is out.

Britt wasn't in Iowa City for the game. They have no scholarships available for '24 so Iowa isn't an option for Britt any longer. If Caitlin comes back next season, someone would have to transfer out which I could see happening at the post position. Yes, they had over 10 recruits/commits at the game.

The way the basketball gods intended.

I bet there's a decent chance we'll get a triple-double out of someone this year against one of the lower rated non-cons.

Here's my second prediction: We'll score over 90 points on at least a couple of occasions this year.

We need Q1 wins. Here's a quick count, might have missed somebody: Craydon MSU At KState At Wisconsin Purdue At Iowa At Rutgers At Maryland Wisky At Illinois At NW At Indiana At OSU At Michigan Probably need to win at least 5 of these to dance.

Wisconsin @ home is there for the taking Flip one of the CU or KSU games would be nice. Northwestern on the road 20-11 and you’re playing for something that first B1G game

@ Iowa @ Rutgers Wisconsin at home Creighton at home Those 4 plus a win in the conference tourney would put us in pretty good position I would think. I think a Hunter Dickinson-less Michigan may be there for the taking too.

Is it too early for us to start making our own wildly optimistic predictions? I'll start by predicting we will have no four game losing streaks this year.

Was your girlfriends name Sandy, by any chance?

True; but perhaps the two newest huskers are the ones who really need to meet or exceed expectations. Those two being Darian White and Logan Nissely. And yes, our returning guards each need to improve over their production last year.

What's a phone book?

All the more reason to land Brit Prince. Kendall Moriarity really needs to step up.

One can only hope for a full recovery for her sake. It’s a tough blow for our team but much worse for her.

Okay, it's obvious I haven't been on this website for a while. But I'm gearing up for some Husker Hoops! I was on a business trip, attending a conference in Midtown Manhattan that obviously got canceled once the 2nd plane hit, although they still served us lunch that day. As I walked back to the hotel where I was staying I tried to cover my nose and mouth because of the smell and debris in the air, and I saw streams of people covered in soot trudging north. Watched TV from my hotel room the rest of that day and late into the night. Transportation to and from the island was shut down until later the next day, but I was then able to get a taxi to Grand Central Station, take a train to Philadelphia and then another taxi to the rental cars at the airport there. Drove through the night with an executive from my company (who lived elsewhere) arriving in Akron, OH at 3 am where I would meet up with a friend who later drove me the rest of the way home, finally arriving around dinner time on that Saturday. This was the only business trip I ever took where I hadn't left my wife a detailed itinerary. So she wasn't sure where I was in NYC and if I was in meetings at the WTC or staying at the downtown Marriott (that was at the base of the towers) where I had sometimes been. With poor cell phone service it took me a long time to get through to her to confirm that I was okay.
