it would appear we've helped crash cart Sparty. They're currently handling Rutgers. Your welcome, Coach Izzo. Let us know if there's anything else we can do for your program!

you need an 'ouch" emoji. Like a smiley face with a black eye and tweeting birdies. because that's what I would have pressed on this post.

I thought Purdue quickly pointed the finger by promptly mentioning that they were going ahead with their next scheduled game, which was I think Saturday. And we haven't said anything about our next game yet. That's probably as close to actual finger pointing as you're gonna get without the offending entity making it public on their own.

damn 'vid. sigh.

Well, we all pretty much know the team's various achilles heels at this point. But there are little slivers of light that keep poking thru, too. Definitely a project, and they've had--and will still have---worse nights than this. Just gotta keep the heads down and forge ahead building this team into its best incarnation. the nice thing about this conference is that you're not going to have crappy opponents, so your going to be building against quality opposition which I think helps development provided the mental conditioning of the squad is strong enough to handle the losses. Keep working, Huskers. These things pay off eventually.

I think Thor's trying to figure out how he can best be the glue stick at any given time. And I admit I love the guy, so I'm totally biased. He's Icelandic, like Fire Saga. He just needs more help from the elves.

i still think coaching can bring a lot of this play up over time. there's enough talent to at least joust fairly in the bottom half of the league. this league is so brutal, because any team with a big hole in any fundamental part of the game is going to get exploited like a peasant in a chair factory. but I can't bring myself to dial 911 yet.

god we suck on the boards. so much suck.

lol thor's slinging that ball like Heimdal.

kinda wishing we had brandon ubel about right now.

dammit. that was backbreaking. sigh.

pretty lame B1G whistle there.

that tailbone just took a beating. i've landed out of airplanes like that. not fun.

what the heck shot was that ? lol

GBAF is an awesome way to start the thread. The kinda groove that just makes you not care what happens, as long as it involves several truckloads of drugs. :)

weird matchup. a couple of struggling teams but MSU probably has the raw talent edge, I'd think. You get the sense that someone, somewhere's gonna have a coming out party for one of these teams. Hoping it's us, for once. Who picks up the gauntlet from the last losses?

It was us! All this time, it was us! (sobs and jumps off the bridge)

I'm glad I chose to just write off sports in the "covid seasons". I think for teams with no previous gel, the limitations on chemistry building are tilted heavily against them, enough to discount the conditions in which they are trying to succeed in a league with a lot of talented veterans.

which is what cost Timmeh his job and made his tenure so maddening. He had talent. We had three marginal NBA guys on a roster for two full seasons, just 2-3 years ago. And bupkis. It was a worse situation than the '96 team in terms of high-end underachieving. This won't be a fast process, because the league we're in is as tough as there is. I'm keeping my expectations tempered to match that reality.

so about 6 more quality losses and we might be back in the top 110? groovy.

I'm not sure they can.

well, hope everyone has had a good Xmas in spite of this. have a good night!

and......"free" throws. too many weaknesses. lots to work on. we're a ways off.

man, we really need to win a game like this. I want this sucker. Somehow.

so they hit a couple of shots, and then passing goes up and gets crisper. so it really seems the issue is still dealing with adversity.
