    I just wanted to say I am happiest for you guys (and others who I unintentionally neglected who have been following Husker Hoops for way more years than Matt & Scott & I).

     

    EVERY SINGLE PERSON HERE - I feel great for ALL OF US.

     

    But man... I'm so happy for those who have been around since Cipriano and Iba and even before.

     

    I just wanted you guys to know I was thinking about you today leading up to the selection - especially you, Jimmy. I haven't met some of you but I consider you friends.

     

    OK, off to watch a Nicholas Sparks movie with all this sap.

     

    Thanks, Dave! What a long, strange trip it's been.  While you guys are in Memphis cheering on the Huskers, we will be here declaring and decreeing the Huskers going to the Sweet Sixteen!  I've already started.  A&M and Houston have no idea what's headed their direction!

    My memories of individual games is not very clear, but Bernard Day has always been my favorite player.

     

    Much later in life, I remember sitting with my kids during a media timeout. They were all staring intently at the floor. I asked each, one by one, what they were looking at. My oldest daughter, a cheerleader, said she was watching the cheerleaders and the dancers. My younger daughter, a dancer, was watching the dancers and the cheerleaders. My oldest was watching the band. No surprise. But my youngest son said he always watched the boys mopping the floor. My best memory even though it wasn’t about the game. 

     

    We used to have a poster here named sideburns jones who was into mopping the floor.  One of my favorites.  I think @jimmykc took a hankering to him, also.

  3. I've already told my story on my first Husker game in the Coliseum.  I don't want to be " that guy" who keeps telling the same story over and over.  But, I will say, I really like this team!

     

    My early memories following the Huskers:  this had to be the 70-71, season.  I watched the Huskers play on TV on a few Saturday afternoons, during the Big 8 season.  Never on every Saturday but at least 3-4 conference games a season.   Marvin Stewart was a senior, Chuck Jura a sophomore.  Usually won in Lincoln. I remember Marvin Stewart being so good!

     

    Probably my favorite memory from that same time period, was Wednesday night games.  I grew up in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, and my dad was the organist for our church for 40 years.  Of course, Lenten services could not be missed.  They started at 7 pm, same time as Husker tip-offs.  Remember, I'm 10- 14 years old, so I talk my mom into giving me the car keys so I can warm up the car the second the service is over.  Usually caught the last 15 minutes of the second half.  🙂

    NU was good that year and as I remember played in the NIT. I was privileged to watch them be beaten at Allen Fieldhouse that year 110 to 73 though. The rest of that KU team consisted of Delvy Lewis, Ron Franz, and Al Lopes, with sixth man Roger Bohnenstiehl. They would have beaten Texas Western in the regionals except for a phantom call of Jojo stepping out of bounds on a winning shot.

     

    The movie says otherwise.  😉

    My first game in the Coliseum was the great Tom Baack, Grant Simmons, Willie Campbell, Nate Branch and Stuart Lantz team in 1966 against a Tex Winter coached Kansas St.  That Husker team would have been an NCAA Tourney team and would have won a tournament game but only conference champions qualified.  Kansas had JoJo White and Walt Wesley.  It was fun for a High School Freshman to witness. Texas Western was the champion in 1966.

    By far Cipriano's best team, from what I've read.  I was only 5 at the time.

    just try to ignore the next possible game this time....want no part of Houston....this is one of the biggest reasons I wanted to get to a 7 seed, which we likely would've done if we make it to the finals. 

     

    on the other hand, A&Ms as good an opponent to break the streak on as any and the broadcasters will get plenty of fodder for canmera closeups off Trev looking confused as to who to root for...

    Trev won't be there.  If he is, God help him.

    I don't know why I was so pissed at the way the game ended. I'd been saying I would be happy if we beat Indiana and OK if we then lost to Illinois. The extra day of rest would be beneficial. We've seemed to elevate our play coming off a loss most of the season. I said ahead of time I'd be OK with beating Indiana and then losing to Illinois for that very reason.

     

    And then, when it happened, I found myself pissed. For probably the same reason Juwan Gary was pissed. That, and we started pressing and forcing things when we damn near cut it down to a 2-possession game.

     

    Oh well. I'm going to be happy to watch our name get called this evening. And I'll just be good with whatever.

     

    I think the Huskers got the best of both worlds, yesterday.  They got the extra day of rest, and have a fire lit in their bellies. I never like to lose, but a B1G Tourney Championship is not the end all be all for this season.  Much bigger fish to fry for you Catholics!  Wow, can you imagine the buzz at the fish fries if the Huskers play on Friday or are coming off a Thursday win?  No one cares about Creighton.

    Not having C.J. to at least play some minutes really hurt us in the 2nd half.  Can’t be terribly disappointed because we had some bad matchups in this game.  Yes, the foul disparity was there but when you shoot mostly perimeter shots you aren’t going to get free throws.

     

    Let’s put this behind us and get prepared for our game Thursday or Friday.  Please NCAA, do not put us in the 11:00 AM game Thursday.

     

    I don't think Nebraska has ever been in an 11 am game.  Doesn't mean they won't this year.
