  1. Yeah. PSU is at the bottom of the league rn. That's winnable. Michigan is due for a road loss. That's winnable. We should beat Minnesota going away. And the Iowa game is a revenge match. We need 3 more to get to 20 overall. Three more also gets us to 10 conference wins. I think we have 4 winnable contests in our last 5 games. Be fun to run the tables, though.
  2. And @HuskerBB be pulling his remaining hair out rn.
  3. If there's some way of getting Maryland again in the Big Ten tourney when we're hopefully health once again I do so want a piece of their @$$.
  4. If my counting is correct, our current record against Kenpom top 40 teams: 5-5. Two are road wins; none are home losses.
  5. That's how I was actually going to describe it.
  6. So, just to add to this. Yeah, 50/50 games, you're not gonna win them all because that's what makes them 50/50 games. Statistically, you'd win about half, right? But here's the thing: In that stretch of 6 losses, we already lost 4 50/50 games. Give us a healthy Berke from here on out and, everything else being equal, we're due for some wins in some of those 50/50 games. Y'know? BTW, our record this year in 1-score games (including OT games) is 1-4.
  7. I don't know how the loss of Berke plays into this. Hopefully we get him back sooner than later. With a healthy Berke, I honestly feel like 4 wins are in play and maybe even 5. The top 5 on your list are all very winnable games with a healthy Berke. Maybe even six. I don't see us winning at tOSU, but that's the only one I'd say is more or less unlikely.
  8. Talented kid with some confidence issues. Your mind can really mess with you. Really affects athletic performance. I remember watching some PGA tour event on TV some years ago and the commentators -- I think Johnny Miller was one of them -- were talking about how tour players almost never recover from a snap hook. They were talking about Steve Stricker specifically, and how he had developed a snap hook and somehow managed to correct it and find his swing again. And they were talking about how rare that is for a tour player. It's usually a career-ender. I hear that GG is a good kid and a talented kid. But he's got some confidence issues. In a metaphorical way, he needs to figure out how to correct his snap hook. It can be done but it might take some time. If he doesn't portal, I would think that would be a sign the coaches still have confidence that he'll get things figured out.
  9. It's hard not to think about the few games that got away during the losing streak. There was the OT loss at Iowa when we were up 15. And 2 one-possession losses at Maryland and vs. Rutgers along with a two-possession loss to USC at home. Give us just a split of those woulda coulda shoulda hads and we'd be sitting at 18-6 (8-5) and tied with Maryland for 6th in conference. But, heck, right now, we're tied with tOSU for 8th, so not bad all things considered. We have 4 home games. I'd consider all of them winnable if we had a fully healthy roster. Berke might not have been a big-time scorer, but he had been our #1 rebounder, so that hurts. I don't know how to handicap the rest of the races if he's on the sidelines or at all slowed. However, if we get him back, I'd say we'd have a good chance to win out at home (with a statement game against Iowa) and maybe sneak a road win at either Northwestern or Penn State. If we do that, then we'd have won 5 of our last 7 games and would finish at 21-10 (11-9) and you'd have to think, with the resume that would create, we'd for sure be in. That would probably be good enough for a tie for 6th or 7th in conference and a favorable first-round matchup in the conference tournament. Get to 22 wins, and you guys who do this stuff would have to tell me what that does for our seeding.
  10. So ... the people *watching* the Super Bowl are NOT the target audience for the halftime show? Do I have that right?
  11. I hate that. I hate that so much. Dumbest thing ever and the fact they continue to do it is ... baffling. To put it nicely.
  12. Agreed. In fact, I'm having an old fashioned right now.
  13. Well, I was reliably informed by various message-board heroes that people would stick around if you gave them a reason. So, apparently, they didn't have a reason?
  14. SIAP but this ties Fred's record for longest win streak in conference play for the Huskers.
