  1. Yes, but Wang is pronounced Wong.
  2. Sometimes you guys push my buttons!
  3. Oops. I wrote it down wrong on my spotting board. Go Patriots!
  4. Dave Hoppen (along with a couple of proven, 6-8 minute type role players off the bench - including a dead 3 specialst) would make this an elite 8 team.
  5. I lurk here and hide in the shadows a lot. Sometimes with a camera.
  6. Very kind!
  7. I should have stayed home. Ha! [emoji2957]
  8. Yes. This. Meant to say same NEBRASKA high school.
  9. Lantz wasn't nearly as big as Roby. He was a 6-3ish guard. Stewart could really fill it up from outside (again too bad no 3-point line), he could take it to the rim and had great hops. Actually, another 6-3 type player that Roby makes me think about is Greg Downing. Downing had similiar skills as I recall, but couldn't hold a candle to Isaiah's shot blocking & rim protecting. All that said, because of all the things Isaiah can do and because of his unrealized potential, he's a one-of-a-kind type of player in NU history, IMHO. And "IF" he would become a dead-3 shooter, be a better defender away from the rim, & improve his handles, he could be the best ever. Big "IFs" though. Most important, Isaiah needs to have a really good Junior season to keep the narrative alive.
  10. Sure appreciate your kind words. Jack Payne did the games on KFAB before I started in 1974. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  11. You are thinking of Joe Patrick doing Creighton games in the 80's. Jack worked with me at KFAB from 1974 until he retired, doing football color for both Bremser and me. He was doing Husker basketball until I took over for him in 74'. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  12. I'll take this one. He & the staff are meticulous teachers and game-planners, who demand maximum effort & attention to detail. There is nice balance between those expectations and acknowledging and/or critiquing performance. That creates a standard that, in turn, creates pride and improvement in team. That's how I've seen it. I've always been impressed and even motivated myself by being able to hang around a lot. Believe me, the vibe is spot-on.
  13. Nope. He took it way too seriously.
  14. Wrong Coach, Dimes. Joe Kittell. Katz is Sacramento State.
  15. Listen to these guys! They bleed Husker Red.
  16. If I'm Kent Pavelka and you're Tim Miles I would add this to the first question: "Or do you not care as long as the guy can flat fill it up like nobody else?" And you say: "Bangarang"
  17. Anyone from the Nixon era still alive? Yes.
