Thanks; no worries at all.

I think you over read it. Nothing incendiary about it. Just the current state of the virus from someone who had a massive case of it. Nothing political about it. I was fully vaxxed. My kid had been vaxxed, had booster shot and already had Covid, and still got Omicron. Was just commenting on the difference between omicron and the earlier varieties. No axe to grind and I’m surprised about the reaction.

They basically have. Lots of shared content now since they have the same owner.

I have long-covid, symptomatic over 2 months, and extremely symptomatic the first 3 weeks. But the Omicron variant which started in December is much milder, for nearly everyone getting it. Very easily transmittable, vaccines and boosters don't prevent it, nor does prior Covid. Early returns are relatively mild symptoms, with good immunity. Might be what we need to boost immunity with a much larger chunk of the population so this can finally blow through.

They would be below average to average, instead of terrible.

Great name. My favorite place on earth.

Come on Diehard. If you thing Denim Dawson is going to lead is to the promised land, you are one gullible fan

And in other news, South Dakota State, led by Aurora native Baylor Scheierman with 17, beat Western Illinois by 18. Yes, that Western Illinois. And Lincoln East grad Sam Griesel hit the winning shot with a second left for North Dakota State’s win; finished with 18.

No, a bunch of excuses came out about tough schedule, close games, etc.

Moment of silence, please. Don't know how I'm gonna work today. RIP big fella, job well done.

Not sure the logic is any worse saying the guy whose record is the worst in modern history over 3 years, and is 5-42 in league after 3 years is somehow the guy to figure it out and get us to the promised land. I mean, those are "facts" also. Who knows, you could be right, but currently it isn't just some bumps in the road as he tries to build a program, its an utter failure. I've been doing this 55 years rather than 45, and during that time we've never been this uncompetitive. And note that Fred's predecessor was "sniffing the NCAA tourney" most years. While we weren't winning NCAA tournament games, we sure as hell weren't finishing last 3 straight years with a "look" to the team one that even the most loyal fans can't stand to watch it.

He almost died on the SE corner of 10th and P, on his way to Barry's. They patched Bob up after that event, and got a few more years out of him. Weird thing is I witnessed both major coronary events. Here's to Bob. Great fan. Rocking that leisure suit in heaven.

First post in this thread.

Sounds like some player development is going on at NMSU and Tulane....

No. Just no to that edition of war and peace. And I’m not sure how bashing a sportswriter helps make your case for Fred. Time will show that you are way overrating the incoming recruits. You defend Matt and want him to stay, yet you claim our talent is bad and the reason for another last place team? So keep the guy responsible for the bad talent? Wtf? After that novel, I gotta go.

I have trouble believing 2-18 or 3-17 and the third straight year in last place fractures the fan base. The only issue in that situation is the buyout. Not the "deserves" part (cue someone who can post Clint Eastwood/William Muney "deserves got nothing to do with it" line from Unforgiven).

As long as we’re on the Husker Hoops depression thread, it doesn’t help tonight to watch Chuckie Hepburn play great against NW. And see how both these teams (Northwestern and Wisconsin) are way, way better than us. Hard to see where any wins will come.

Good thread, Norm. Might as well get this stuff out there. This is pretty obvious watching the games. Bad culture. We have enough problems on the basketball front, but this is ridiculous. And, of course, depressing.

Hope he gets asked about it by Trev.

I knew Jamaal Lord, and Lat Mayan is no Jamal Lord (with apologies to Lloyd Bentsen for you youngsters).

I’m no Dirk fan but what is wrong with this tweet?

With those other schools was he actually seen dining with the AD? Just the two of them in a cozy dinner?

I was always told "lower than whale jism on the bottom of the ocean floor".

Obviously McDermott also. Struggling mightily at Iowa State. My memory wasn't "officially fired", but he got out of Dodge and nothing but good things have happened since. Unfortunately.
