I agree with this. I was writing my post about the same issues when you posted this.

This is a tough question for me. If this were the NBA, it would be an easy answer for me, we got better players than we lost so we got the better end of the stick. In essence our new players would have a better video game rating than the ones who left. There are just so many other aspects to college basketball, and that's personally why I love it more than the NBA. These are 18-22 year old kids, what often gets lost is the team chemistry, the adjusting to a new city, the adjusting to a new academic program, the relationships that the players have with each other and the coaches, girlfriends back home, and a myriad of other issues that aren't related to someone's basketball talent. Who knows, the adjustments and fresh starts for everyone could be the best thing that happened to everyone on both sides, but it also might not. I just wonder would a Michael Jacobson that has been at Nebraska with the same coaching staff, system, and comfort level for 4 years be better in the long run than a more talented player that comes in for 1 or two years? I guess this is just a long way of me saying the new guys are probably more talented, so to answer the specific question posted I think it is a great "trade". But my cop out answer is we will have to wait and see how the new guys adjust to Nebraska, and how well old guys adjust at their new homes.

I'm curious whether this will be a true "bellwether" game or not. If it were in the regular season I would agree 100% that it would be. I am just curious to how we manage the game. Are we going to play to win? Or are we going to test out all of our possible player combinations in a game against good competition that doesn't matter? My guess is the latter.

So far I haven't seen him participating at all. I screenshotted this photo from Snapchat, and Jordy appears to have sandals and glasses on. It was the very end of practice so it's possible he had already taken his shoes off, but I get the impression he wasn't able to participate. (I had to reduce the image size in order to upload on my phone. If you want a clearer image go to huskerhoops on Snapchat)

The fact that Isaac is retweeting it also makes me think it's about as close to official as it can get!

Does anyone know how letting a guest use your ticket works? If I give my ticket to a friend when I am out of town is there a way to print a paper ticket for that game or anything? Or do you have to give them your card?

I would bet that the first 5 games the starting lineup is: Watson Taylor McVeigh Roby Jordy Likely to change over time, but if I had to bet on the beginning of the year right now this would be my guess

Just drove through Dixon Illinois, home of the great Roby family

Based on everything I've read in the thread recently everyone has Copeland in the starting lineup. Do we know about his status next year for first semester or are people just assuming/hoping? Also same with palmer, however I'm not as concerned about his grade issues because that is his to control and not the NCAA.

The world isn't going to explode after all

I was wondering this too, anybody know?

Play jordy and ed at the same time, what do you have to lose

I'll just leave this here. Teams have won 5 games in a row before.

Can't really argue with that, I was just looking for anything positive from that game.

Nebraska 69 Penn State 64 5 wins

Roby played well today

Nebraska 96 Illinois 47 Jason shultis with 6 points

I'm not excited for the next few days...

I'm with you there, but this is the most frustrating game ever

Not the other one?

I've seen crazier

There is no one name fucking Evans on our team

I'll say it now, we will come back and win

Just let them play basketball! I wouldn't say it's been (too) bad either way, but this is just frustrating to watch

A buddy of mine said he thinks his cousin is on the baseball team, and also a friend of his is going to run track here next year, that will always help in the recruiting process.
