Faux Mike Peltz

Been to every home game this season. Not bragging, just saying I’ve seen some dead crowds this season and some better ones. Thought the crowd VS Minny was pretty good. KU game had its moments. Even a few times VS. BC too. Personally, I was disappointed in the Husker Power chant for the Wiscy game. They even flash the spot lights now to help (this started after the Eichorst departure) My seats are in the front row of the 200 level, above the student section behind the hoop. I swear to you, 90% of them just cross their arms or don’t do anything or are on their phones during the opponent’s free throws. Come on students, put some effort into it. Pet Peeve #1: Fans leaving way early. I drive from Omaha and understand sneaking out with a minute left if the game is well in hand. But fans start the walk with 9 minutes left, and each deadball more and more leave. New Pet Peeve #2: I’ve had my same seats since PBA has opened. New guys sitting behind me this year. Initially seemed like good fans, but the one guy drops an F bomb almost every fourth word. F’in Evan Taylor, F’in refs, F’in Miles, F’in Jordy sucks, F’in had a burger, the walk was F’in cold, these hot dogs are F’in good, what the F type of shot was that Copeland? F’in drive the ball Roby, F’in Glynn sucks tonight, etc, etc. Now, I’m not saying PBA needs to be like church. I get into the games and cheer and yell and scream Go Big Red with the best of them. But I bring my 11 year old to the games and honestly won’t bring my 8 year old daughter, I don’t want her exposed to 75 F bombs per game. And I don’t like it when guys who don’t look like they can even play rec ball call our players dumbasses and dumbsh#* either. I would think most people who talk like that would perhaps try to show some restraint around younger kids, but this guy must not care. He only has showed up to the bigger games, but it’s certainly made going to the games a little less fun.

The past few years my son has attended the Husker buddies event that Coach Miles puts on. First year my son attends it’s at PBA and he plays Tarin Smith one on one. Last year at the event he plays both Morrow and Jacobsen one on one. This year, a few weeks ago, of course he plays Jordy. BTW, this is his last year attending, next year he’s too old. So, the Roster should stabilize.

Glad to see Jordy have a solid game. These are the types of games why it’s inportant to keep him engaged VS writing him (or anyone for that matter) off. Starting backcourt gives us like five points total and we still win. We need ET as a defender though. Love the flashes we saw from Thomas tonight. He’s a gamer. Thought our Defense was really solid tonight. Good communication. Some of the mental things perplexed me, those late turnovers...wow Refs had a tough first and second half. Not consistent. Good win for us, but we will need to play much better Friday to get the W.

My takeaways and observations: Jordy shouldn’t start. Duby and Tanner are better currently. Wish Roby had more confidence We have to value the ball Glynn needs to be more consistent we need Palmer, Copeland, and Glynn firing on all cylinders to beat the top teams in the Big Ten, but probably not so much against the lower tiered teams... Onward and Upward

Do we have a Luther Campbell type supporter who can put a bounty out on Haarms nuts?

Name of the bald ref? haas clapped in his face afterwards...technical?

Copeland....I love the guy. Very glad he’s a Husker. But he’s got to step it up. It’s almost like that KU three pointer messed with his mojo

Copeland is struggling...

Duby is the kind of guy you’d want with you in the back alley. ET as well.

Jordy isn’t a bulldog. As a rebounder, I’m not sure he’s in our top 8...

I’m not sure why Miles continues to start Jordy if the plan is once he makes his first two mistakes he gets yanked right away for Duby.

I’d feign a strike to Harms midsection every now and then just for giggles...

Someone tell Purdue’s cheerleaders about spray tan...

Thomas Allen seems to be pressing and is playing like a frost. Did someone put a bounty out on Harms nuts?

I hate to say it, because I want him to be good, but Jordy is hurting us if he cant score and can’t rebound and loses his man on defense...Jordy should probably be third string...

He was on the bench last night, saw him smiling and cheering the team on...

We have the pieces of the puzzle. Just have to win the winnable games and avoid bad losses moving forward. I like our depth. ET had a bad game offensively but did force Law into a turnover/foul on Gill towards the end that I thought was a big swing. Little things like that will go unnoticed but make a difference.

Crispin brought up a good observation, that last lineup in was really good. I hope we see more of it.

Heard a Goooo Biiiig Reeeed chant haha

Anton with a big shot!

Yeah, someone landed on Glynn and no foul?!?!

I hope Jordy can improve much better than he currently is, but honestly, he has to be one of the more uncoordinated Power five starting centers I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s hard to want him to get the ball right now...

Palmer seems to be forcing his drives, he’s losing the ball or getting blocked a lot. Would love to see Cope come off a screen and pop frin m 16-17 VS just baseline threes.

Tanner played a bit against some of the stiffer competition earlier this season and many were saying the Tanner Borchardt experiment needs to be over. He had a critically timed good game for us against Stetson. Personally I like the energy Duby gives us. His game against Minnesota was what I hope he can deliver for us in the big ten. I’m happy to see TB progressing into a viable option when we need him.

Crowd was dead flat but hey, it’s Christmas weekend... Thought we shot it well from outside. Anton with back to back games where his scoring was very important Thomas Allen May very well be the future... Loved seeing Jack and Thorir get in. Nana’s pregame dunks are pretty sick. Guy has some explosive hops.
