  1. Data:
  2. Just the guitar riff. Not the singing.
  3. Kid's an mballa, from what I understand.
  4. Shows off the guns, though.
  5. Definitely could use an umlaut on the roster.
  6. Great post. Bottom line, we were 6-14 last year in conference, and Hoiberg was 3-13 in his first year in the Big XII. Expecting anything other than a win total somewhere between those two (and inclusive of those two) numbers is wild optimism. That written, WE'RE GOIN' DANCIN'.
  7. My five-point plan for 2019-2020: Let 'er fly. Don't project starting lineups, minutes, scores, wins, losses, seeds, percentages. Expect nothing. Celebrate everything. Beat Iowa.
  8. I had Sling TV then. I now live in Iowa, so the Royals are a "home team," which means I use HuluPlus to get all KC, STL, MIL, CHW, CHC and MIN games. Our local cable gets only Chicago teams. In Colorado, I just bought the entire MLB.TV season the first couple of years, then pared it down to Royals games. The single-team MLB.TV package is $89.99 per year, I believe. Before that, I just had to watch the Rockies on cable. Yuck.
  9. You can also just get MLB.TV's single-team season out-of-market package. I did that for the Royals when I lived in hell (Boulder, Colorado).
  10. 10 minutes out of my morning. I swear.
  11. Maybe Tim should show up in the coaches' offices tomorrow, just in case there's some time warp factor we've not factored into the 2019-2020 equation.
  12. BREAKING: Creighton University President Daniel Hendrickson announced Wednesday a plan to move CU's official mailing address — and its basketball program — to La Habra, California. The move comes in the wake of California Gov. Gavin Newsom signing into law a bill that would allow student-athletes at California colleges and universities to receive compensation. Currently, NCAA rules forbid student-athletes to receive "extra benefits" beyond the cost of attendance, which includes scholarships and other related expenses to attending a university. Hendrickson said California's new law fits perfectly with CU's current basketball recruiting philosophy. "We've really looked for ways for Coach (Greg) McDermott to be more directly involved in the payment process," Hendrickson said Wednesday in a press conference at the La Habra Holiday Inn. "This will remove all the secrecy and second-parties from our ability to land the best players available." Hendrickson also noted that the university will undertake a fund-raising campaign in order to meet the demands of the nation's top players, and to compete against California programs such as UCLA, USC, Stanford, Cal-Berkeley and St. Mary's. "We've always capped our offers at $100,000," Hendrickson said. "We really want to be competitive in this market, though, so we hope our alumni can step up. Every little bit helps. Instead of buying another BMW for their own children, maybe a few donors could do the same for our prospective basketball players." CU students will continue to take classes at Creighton's "satellite campus" in Omaha, but all expressed no worries about attending 'Jays home games in California. "Daddy's jet fits 25 people, so that's pretty much my entire fraternity," said Leighton "Biff" Stonehenge, a junior wealth management major from Glencoe, Illinois. The move will create a dilemma, however, for the local "We Hate Nebraska Basketball Club," whose members proudly identify as "Jayskers." "We'll still root for Frosty and the boys on autumn Saturdays," said Hugh Jass, the group's president. "As for the winters, well, I guess you can now call me a 'Mavsker.' "
  13. In other words, plenty tall for a shooting guard.
  14. You may be underestimating the stench emanating from Evanston. Here's another media poll that puts us at 13. We're trending up!
  15. You need a subscription, but long story short, we're picked last, with this being the only comment: 14. Nebraska Quick, name one player on the Nebraska roster. … I’ll wait. Where the Huskers finished in the poll: 13 High position: 6 Low position: 14 Full Forecast Michigan State Ohio State Purdue Maryland Michigan Illinois Indiana Wisconsin Iowa Penn State Rutgers Minnesota Northwestern Nebraska
  16. We don't need to be better than last year's team. We just want to win more games, however that happens.
  17. "The NOA being sent to Kansas is expected to outline the violations that occurred because of KU’s relationship with former Adidas employee T.J. Gassnola, who testified in federal court last October that he made payments of $90,000 to the mother of former player Billy Preston."
  18. This also happened:
  19. Now there's a whole new trove of Husker hoops history available online with the complete digitization of The Daily Nebraskan from 1901 to 2001. Who could ever forget such classics as these: "Early practice could violate rule" "Hoppen's heroics humble Bluejays" "Hoops Hoopla: First NU conference title reflects fan force" AND SO MUCH MORE!
  20. I never looked as dorky as the rest of the Nads, though.
  21. I prefer this look from @colhusker intramural days:
  22. I saw that, too. We've come a long way from the clown pants of the '90s and early 2000s. Thank goodness.
  23. Matt A. looks familiar. Where have I seen him before?
  24. Future All-Big Ten guard Dalano Banton.
