Faux Mike Peltz

Saw that too! My seats were super close to the incident, I was near the bench and the football players. Def stepped in and then two fans gave each other high fives after the free throws…

Norm, you must’ve had a similar vantage point as me. I saw the exact same thing. So did my buddy who came to the game. There was a time when Meah was posting down low and was deep and Berke could’ve gotten the ball to him and passed it around the outside. I think that had partly something to do with it. Hoping it’s all water under the bridge now.

Made the trek from Omaha. Maybe not my smartest decision, got on the interstate and saw a dozen or so vehicles in the ditch. Took almost 30 minutes to get to the Gretna exit from Sapp Bros. Roads got progressively better after the Platte River. Was extra motivated because I scored floor seats. What a great game! Physical, hard fought. Brice and Juwan are so important out there. Big guys did their job for the most part. Interesting that Cale played over Gavin. I suspected that may have been coming. Pretty dicey/icey coming back to Omaha, but worth it. * seen * Dylan R, Emmet Johnson, Malcolm Hartzog, and Ceyair Wright sitting courtside - I was really close to them. Dylan was more than gracious as every timeout more and more kids/fans asked for selfies and autographs ** also seen ** Dylan and Connor sharing a moment after the game, talking for a few minutes. Also saw Connor and Emmet chatting for a bit. Hope they have fun in Hawaii!

Fred’s gonna have a hey day with the guys in practice this week. I thought it was a bit premature by some of crowning Connor “better than Keisei” after a couple of non con games. MSU clearly scouted and with him shut down, Brice and Juwan off, just knew it was going to be a really long night. I realize Fred is trying to get Gavin his confidence back up but yikes! Had the ball taken right from his hands again. Honestly, Cale looks more comfortable out there than Gavin does right now. Not that it would’ve mattered, MSU was just on fire. Need to learn a lot in practice this week.

Our team has shown a LOT of progress from the first couple of games. I remember the sentiment on here was that we were gonna suck and a few even suggested Fred was gonna get sacked. I know it’s still early on but we have gelled and improved. Made lots of progress so far. Wish our football team would…

Agreed, the last 10 minutes seemed to drag on. That last foul on Griffith with just a few seconds left was not needed. Ref should’ve just swallowed the whistle

Pretty fun game to attend. A pretty good crowd, I’d estimate 12,000+ Meah absolutely ate the inside, all his points came on dunks. South Dakota did have a 7’ center, but Braxton was on a different level. Our depth definitely paid off. To lose Gary and Berke and have Brice in foul trouble. It was nice to have some guys who could still maintain our lead. I actually think Gavin is in his head, just lacks some confidence out there. At this point, I see why he is still in the rotation, but honestly Cale has more experience and can handle the ball better and makes better passes. I do think Gavin will hit his stride at some point. If Connor shoots like the past couple of games we are a completely different team. Remarkable we went from a “if Brice doesn’t get 27 we are doomed” mentality to “we are pretty well balanced” haha.

Well that’s was awesome. I picked NU to win but not by that much. It was actually pretty dominant at times. Juwan Gary is our Alpha. Meah was worth the get even if it was just to counter Kalk. He will do just fine in the big ten. That was the best game we have seen from Connor. Really gave us another threat beside Brice. Loved how we attacked Kalk - even Uhlis drove in on him. GBR! I will not be a quiet person Monday at the office

It’s Norm!!!!!!!!

I’m going to be so annoyingly insufferable

We have to be smarter defensively. Little stupid things. Morgan not setting a clean pick. Hoiberg sending Ashworth to the line on a foul 28 feet away…

I’m old enough to remember guys on this board saying Braxton was a waste and an oaf and a horrible pickup.

NU - 69 CU - 68 3

RIP to TCP. He was a regular contributor and I’m sure his life extended 100 fold beyond being on this board. He will be missed.

Well I’d say it’s natural to want to follow a winner. So I can see why some Omahan’s take the Jaysker path. But I truly don’t believe too many outside of Omaha cheer for the jays unless it’s a one off, like GI cheering because of Traudt or Aurora because of Baylor S…

I’ve been getting incessant texts from my Jaysker coworkers all day today. One sent a short video clip of Coach Hoiberg today calling out Jayskers and said “maybe if nebraska wasn’t so terrible at basketball there wouldn’t be Jayskers” Which means they only want to cheer on the bandwagon. I’ve been through seven levels of 2000-2024 nebrasketball hell folks. I’ve driven from Omaha to Lincoln hundreds of times and driven home dejected by crapping games away. I’ve seen 6500 at the Bob for years and watched us as we toiled under Collier and Doc - when Tim gave us a glimpse of what could be but couldn’t sustain. Never once did I say “it’d be easier for me to just cheer for Creighton because they win” but apparently some fans do…

I’m going to have to disagree. First, they represent a quad 1 win opportunity. So that’s not like any other game on the schedule. Second, this game is Creighton’s red circle on the calendar game, and has been since the mid 90’s. And nebraska trying to downplay the rivalry and say it’s just another game is one reason why we get our butts kicked often. I guarantee you that Sam Griesel didn’t view it as no different than any other. And third, I’ve lived in Omaha my entire life as a diehard Husker hoops fan. I loathe the Jays. I loathe the sweater-vest and 3/4 zip wearing, snobby cu fans who make snide remarks the next day in the office. I’ve been putting up with it for over two decades as an adult. I hate that they developed into a relevant and nationally ranked program while their fans also cheer for 9 win seasons and bowl game appearances. I dislike that they built their program with a mixture of clean cut Korvers, Kalkbrenner, Dane Watts, and Grant Gibbs types countered by the P’Allen’s, Cavel Witters, Rodney Buford’s, and Mo’ Watson ilk. I loathe CU. I dislike Jayskers. I find them beyond annoying. I respect coach Mac as a coach but will never ever be a part of his plantation. Sorry to vent. I’m ready for Friday now. GBR!!!!

Up 52-48 on Wisconsin at the half. Wiscy doesn’t look like a top 20 team this year.

The problem is GG and Connor defensively weren’t really an upgrade over KT and Wilcher, but offensively, so far they’ve been a downgrade. If we have to have Brice score 25+ a game just to keep us in it, it could be a long season. Rollie has shown flashes but has overall underwhelmed at times. He’s averaged a travel turnover every single game, I can’t remember a pure point guard who takes so many steps…

A solid team win. Every single player who got in scored. That doesn’t happen very often. I actually thought Sam and Cale upped the defensive intensity even more and pushed the halftime lead up to 20. Great seeing Cale get in and contribute. He is capable. Coach is high on him because he makes the right passes and plays. He hustles too. I don’t think Meah’s is serious. Not sure about Morgan. Think I saw him in street clothes in the second half.

Maybe it’s just me. I just dont see that same fire from Juwan and Brice this far. Brice had some bad fouls last night but he also literally had the ball and fell down, didn’t even trip, just fell down. Turnovers matter eventually. Did Jo, Mast, and Keisei really have that much of the heartbeat of the team last year? I hope they can get motivated for Wednesday. St Mary’s is a different level. Losing to the McDermott in Omaha isn’t unusual, but getting blown out by 30+ needs to stop, just so I do t endure the stupid sweater vests in the office all year

I don’t disagree. He has to take the shot. But I just don’t think he or Uhlis are the same type of 3pt threats we had in Lawrence and CJ last year. We may have traded offense for defense and I like Rollie’s presence.

I miss Lawrence and CJ’s shooting. i know CJ couldn’t guard anyone but at least he could get hot and hit 4-5 threes in a game.

First time I’ve seen a Husker basketball post call for the coaches firing after a win. Guess the expectations have been raised

I’m quickly lowering my expectations- unless something changes quick and we get exponentially better, our trip to Omaha is gonna be UGLY
