  1. https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/03/health/penn-state-big-10-myocarditis-covid-spt-trnd/index.html Man...Everytime It seems like there's a glimmer of hope an article like this comes out. Regardless of peoples thoughts if its right or wrong I think we can all agree the Big 10 is taking the most risk-averse position on the start of sports seasons. And when I see this I start to think the worst as it pertains to me seeing my Huskers play some basketball
  2. Sorry man. I would be devastated. I hope you feel better.
  3. Still can't say what you want on the topic big man.
  4. Could you be more passive aggressive? Say what you're gonna say man.
  5. These are corona times! Think out side the box. Doane! UNK! Wesleyan! The battle for Lincoln
  6. Another aspect I will watch over the years that follow this whole mess is the trajectory of the salaries of coaches. Football and basketball. My guess is we've seen the highest average salary for power 5 coaches for about 10 years. Give or take a few years.
  7. I like your ideas. Your thoughts got me thinking. Now I know the conference doesn't break up nicely into four groups, but I think that's they way you do this and I am gonna tell you why . Four bubbles gives you more control when an outbreak happens. So instead of disrupting seven teams if a team pops positive you only disrupt three or four teams. This would allow for more games to be played amongst the other teams while the positive bubble of teams are quarentined for whatever length their guidelines are at the time. Then the bubbles switch up. Do this over six to eight weeks making it a three day tournament every two to three weeks. Quarantining bubbles as you go as they pop positive. Have a weekend set aside at the end for any makeup games to be played and have it as a tournament(s) at the end. Then the Big Ten Tournament. Simple right?!?
  8. You're giving them too much credit. I think this counts as another failed test. Just like a test positive for THC is a failed drug test. So they're still O-fer
  9. A win is a win is a win is a win. Don't care how we get that monkey off our back.
  10. I am not one that knows much about fashion, but is my man wearing a sports bra?
  11. It was a dagger right to the heart.
  12. But towards the last half of the season they will become serviceable. I like your shot. Just needed to add a bit. If I have faith in anything in this world its Doc ability to teach some defence.
  13. I think this is sentiment is the biggest problem with combating this virus.
  14. So if we go by last years stats he is now about 235lbs and 6'9''. I've always been a little more optimistic about his ceiling than most. Cautiously optimistic, but still. I am starting to become giddy about this kid. If, like Norm assessed, his boulder hands (my words) become a little more supple...oh boy!
  15. My bet is Notre Dame would work something out with the conference that thier other sports are affiliated with.
  16. He looks lean! He was a little hefty last season. Oh, I am excited! Please lord baby Jesus let there be basketball this year.
  17. Had to go with fireworks. Out here in San Diego. Haven't shot off fireworks in about a decade. So generally work the forth so I can knock out one of the holidays I have to work. Man I miss fireworks. May seem childish, but man I LOVE parachutes! Shoot them off as a kid. Getting the big ones that go ridiculously high. Chasing them down. Hoping they didn't get snatched up by a giant ass oak tree. Have to walk by that tree for next year. Eyeing my parachute nearly every day. And when the trees didn't get them. There was a hoard of us trying to be the one to catch it ...Great times. I try that out here...I start a fire and burn down a subdivision. Actually just had a conversation with my wife. Told her I think we are gonna have to take a few summer vacations back to Nebraska when the children we are gonna have are old enough. Show them how I think the forth should be celebrated. She was less than on board
  18. I think it would be awesome if kids realized the power they have to do something like this.
  19. Yeah! Missed it. Then fumbled it off his leg out of bounds
  20. I may have told this story on here before, but I don't care because I love this story. So, I am at the Bob with my Dad. I have 2 season tickets. It's when the price was $99 a seat for the nose bleeds. The Bob is decently full. There's only a dull hum of noise though. The game is in hand. It's in the second half. Ping gets subbed in for the first time. An inbounds play under our basket. Well Ping does something wrong which throughly pisses Doc off. I think he cut the wrong way, went to the wrong spot, ended up with the ball that was ment for someone else, and finally lost the ball out of bounds for a turnover. While its happening you can hear Doc coaching Ping. Over everyone. Loud. And crystal clear. "Ping!! PING!!! GOD DAMN IT PING!!! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE PING!!!! Doc called a time out. Subbed out Ping. He was in the game maybe 5 seconds. And that was the last of Ping for that game. Ping was soooooo bad.
  21. I really don't know the answer to this question. But, could he? As in is there enough depth at the position(s) he is projected to play vs. his perceived talent? An aside - I do miss the days of knowing the team backwards and forwards going in to the next season. This last 2 years has left me with very little knowledge of the team we have going into this season.
  22. Have no players get suspended for violating team rules and beat Crieghton.
  23. Thanks. Pretty sure she had it special made. I am trying now to get her to do the same thing on a polo for me
  24. Thank you Norm. I figure raising him as a Nebraska Basketball Fan is a good way to teach him about disappointment and perseverance
