You have your right to your opinion. Others have the right to theirs. By the way, I did not grow up in the metro areas, and I know a load of people both in Northeast and Central Nebraska. Many do not share your opinion that he is a favorite son, and many are still upset with his decision to turn his back on Nebraska. Again, I am not dissing the dude. In fact, I respect his accomplishments. I simply was miffed that he appeared to get special access to the field, and "I" thought that was a bone-headed decision by someone in the athletic department, since he turned his back on the University. He absolutely has the right to make decisions that he feels are in his best interests. But when he chooses a rival institution, he becomes irrelevant to our institution.

I will take a slightly different take on the subject. Baylor is totally irrelevant to the University of Nebraska. He CHOSE to attend and play for a rival program. He should have total access to Creighton sports. He should take his new buddies to a Creighton soccer game and be warmly welcomed. He should also be allowed to PURCHASE a ticket like any other Jaysker. However, someone in our athletic department made a bone headed decision to provide him access to the Nebraska playing field to show off to his new cronies. He also had access to players that were being recruited to Nebraska. Now am I going to lose sleep about this...heck no. But giving the dude access to a Husker playing field, when we are playing a rival, in one of the biggest games in recent years, just seems SO wrong. Just saying...

But he wasn't and went to the one place a Nebraska fan can't go so he was never actually a fan and can f off.

First two games total: 30 minutes 4-7 3pt. 4 Reb. 3 steals 2 assists 19 points

Nobody has ever blown a year of eligibility for just one minute of playing time.... except for:

Another reminder that a vomit reaction would be useful.

I can respect that perspective.

Grew up a huge Husker fan in the heartland of Nebraska. I'm glad he could have one over on Derrick White that night. I personally do not fully understand the eternal disdain for B.S. I didn't like the fact he chose CU, but considering Hoiberg was horrendous in those first 3 seasons, so Baylor made a business decision, and worked his butt off to become a 1st round NBA draft pick. He's still a favorite son in the central part of the state of Nebraska. And he rooted 'GBR' even on game day, it's not like he's a traitor like some seem to think. IDK, man, it's petty to not appreciate the work he put in to get where he's at. I can't stand the Boston Celtics, but I'll still root for B.S. to make his way in the league. It's complicated, lol.

Noticed the new number for Britt Prince, she wore #2 at Elkhorn North, and now she's donning #23 (a la Kelsey Griffin). Hopefully Britt's as impactful as Kelsey in the long run.

Just an aside. I had the opportunity to very quickly say hello to Dr. Tom at the game. He seems healthy; but is certainly starting to look his age. He also appears to really like our team this year. I personally believe that Coach Rhule embracing Frank Solich and Coach Darlington (as well as Dr. Tom) creates a ton of goodwill amongst the alumni.

When someone gives you lemons, make lemonade

Wow. What a shame: an Aurora, Nebraska, kid gets drafted into the NBA and shows up at Memorial Stadium to celebrate his accomplishment . . . "on the Colorado side"?!! That's sad for him, in my book. Really sad.
