Then, what is it?

Are they doing summer league at Omaha Sports Academy this year? Admittedly I haven't paid much attention, and it seems like this is the time of year they usually have it. Thanks guys.

Not a fan of Richard Roby...

For those smarter than me, is it feasible to play at least 4 freshmen this year? I would think it just comes down to, if they are ready to play obviously...but with the talent/hype, it seems they will really make a push. Gotta get some experience for next year when we lose several starters.

I am starting to get anxious haha. We're in the middle of July, school starts in a month, and we don't know where White III is going.

The difference is that Maric and Diaz played significant minutes throughout their careers. Kye has played sparingly, but, hasn't done anything with the minutes he has gotten. Plus he's a walkon. I love all the instate guys that walk on, but it takes a pretty special scenario for those guys to make an impact on the team.

For the amount of criticism you had for Diaz and Maric, I'd hate to think the comments you'd have watching Kurkowski play ten minutes a game.

The coaches and players can call for no-sit sunday any game they want, but if there aren't high stakes on the line, its gonna be hard to support it. I would say 90% of the time, No Sit Sunday will be best in the last few games of the year, often the last game of the year (Senior Day...possible post-season implications). That said, I will embrace it any game. I have no problem replicating the fan experience as the Wisconsin game.

He walked right past me yesterday. Pretty good size- definitely looks the part. He is going to help us this year.

I'm ready for the season to start already. Normally I'm itching just for football (which I still am), but I still think about Terran hitting that 3 on the left wing before the first media timeout against Wisconsin quite frequently. When's the last time we've had this much momentum during the offseason? Bring on November already.

Shameless plug - our church in Omaha is going to Pilger this Saturday if you guys know of anyone who wants to volunteer a few hours.

During the season I know we had discussion on extending the postgame show. To date, it's about fifteen minutes or a little more if Coach is late getting out. I think there is a demand for a longer show. Many NU fans would continue listening as they drive home or are stuck in a parking lot. So is anything being discussed from a network standpoint? I know we talked about who might do the show...my hope is that those discussions are already happening.

How much of this is a result of Tim flying him from that Nevada tournament and the relationship they have because of it? I don't think Richie Pitino or Patrick Chambers etc. would do this.....Thad Matta seemed pretty gracious when they came to Lincoln this year which kind of surprised me.

How long until Conklin or Cochran have a boy headed to college...

Peru State thought he was a great overall coach, but really loved his experience with recruiting...

Nice catch.

So with the guys on board now, what's the projected starting lineup? I'm confident Tai will start among the "big 3", but I guess I see we may or may not have a new 5...meaning, I think Rivers or another guy could still start. Rivers, Parker, Leslee, and Moses would be our top candidates for the 5th spot, you would think, then Fuller, Tarin, and Hammond after that. That's a nice, healthy rotation. That's 8 guys I'm okay with 20+ minutes, with 9 and 10 not being bad options either. Will Pettaway and Shields get over 35 minutes? The only way I see them getting multiple rests is if Parker comes in and Webster slides to the 2 (you could argue they are most valuable on the team, plus we have more depth at the other spots). Here's what I think we'll have-pretty fun to think about. 1-Webster, Parker 2-Pettaway, Fuller 3-Shields, 4-Rivers, Leslee 5-Pitchford, Moses

I will politely call this your father's NU basketball thinking. The time is ripe for my attitude adjustment spiel. Coaches look for schools with better conference...Miles, check! Coaches look for schools with better facilities...Miles, check! Coaches look for schools with great fan bases...Miles, check! Coaches look for schools close to their family...Miles, check! Coaches look for schools with access to best recruits...OK, here we are challenged...but not nearly comparable to the football model that needs 25 to 30 recruits a year. Miles only needs 3 to 4 a year. Miles can do this. Lincoln is transforming itself into a relatively hip town! as the Haymarket evolves. Weather won't stop good athletes. Bo Ryan gets them to Madison. Tom Izzo to Lansing. Finally, coaches look for schools with the ability and willingness to spend $$$...Miles, check! Don't worry, SE gets it. I don't see why this is brought up so much. Colorado, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri and Iowa all have produced NBA talent (I believe all in the last 5 years, if not, I would think not much more than that). If all of them can do it, NU can. At some point the state will produce talent again.

Gottlieb said on Sunday he didn't think NU deserved to get in. What a punk... NDSU wins. St Louis wins. Now it's Nebraska's turn.

Any insight about getting through Dallas Fort Worth at 5:00? Does Fort Worth honestly have a better chance? We just crossed into texas

Made it to Wichita braums. First stop so not terrible. Wish I could say I've seen tons of husker fans but has been sparce so far.

Come on, it was a little bit funny.

Leaving Omaha tomorrow morning early. Look for a silver Mazda3 with Husker plates...I am really pumped about this game and this opportunity. An even bigger blessing would be punching a ticket to the sweet 16...GBR

Tickets purchased! Wife awesome. When we win our first NCAA tournament game, I will be there!

Can we really expect a sellout? What would be some of the cheaper options to buy a ticket?
