Nebrasketball1979

The obvious answer is that if Moos cared one iota about Nebrasketball, then he would have had a teleportation transfer devise to go back and forth between both. Duh!

Hmmm...my math worked out to a gazillion million which has infinitely more negative impact than a zillion million. I think you are grossly underestimating the impact!

And...here is the bracket. A lot of irony playing Xavier. Being in Des Moines would be a great home court advantage if it could work out that way, hopefully as the #1 seed in the region though!!! http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology But, I wouldn't get your hopes up as Loonardi will have several bubble teams pass us between now and our first game.

One of the side effects of the big ten screwing their league and having all teams with 10-14 days off

When you let good teams hang around, you will get beat. Nebraska wins by 5.

He might be right with no source so seems extreme to delete your account when we will be partying on Xanax and NyQuil through the night

Another serious question...if we are selected, would it be acceptable to set a car or couch on fire in celebration? I live in Colorado, so thinking this may not go over well, even with the stoned neighbors.

That's assuming a Nebraska fan or two or a thousand haven't already gotten to him first!

Ok, serious question. If we are selected, does Lunardi's head explode and if so, does the tupee fly off?

I just realized we lose an hour tonight and I have never been more grateful to spring forward and lose an hour. One less hour to agonize over our fate.

Yes, Miles is hosting a private event for the team at his house.

Hell Yes...a hearty welcome to Mr. Davis and another recruiting win for Miles. I hope this news is a prelude to the icing on the cake tomorrow afternoon!

Yes, I believe this will put them firmly in if they hold on. You talk about a statement and sadly this is what us and every other bubble team that flamed out early in the conference tournaments is wishing they could have done. Games not over yet so I haven't given up hope.

Ok, my gut tells me we're a 2 seed in the NIT. My head tells me we are likely out. My heart has us and me in Dayton, literally, as I've already researched flights. I woke up feeling lousy about our chances after hearing Lunardi eviscerate us on a few different media forums yesterday. Not that Lunardi is the end all, be all but his and Palm's and all other bracketologists tired and repetitive narrative does beat down even the most optimistic Nebraska fan, which typically I am. I rarely win bets as my online sportsbook account will attest to. I hardly ever bet on my own teams as it's impossible, for me at least, to peel away the emotion. With that being said, after Nebraska had reeled off 8 straight against the spread and something along the lines of 16 out of the last 17, I decided to put a wager on the Illinois game and took Nebraska as a very small favorite. We know how that turned out. So to turn the tide and to make myself feel marginally better, I donated $10 this morning. I figured that since I don't win bets that I might as well get out in front of my loss when Nebraska does make the tournament. Psychologically I now feel better. I definitely need some sort of long term medication but I do feel better.

Meh, I don't know. I'm not sure you can call it anything but speculation. Each kid beats to their own drum so to assume that just because JPJ had a great year or Copeland is older and assume their gone is just wild speculation. I'm sure a lot of people would love to go back and have the college experience again so I don't think it's any guarantee that JPJ or Copeland give this up as quickly as you presume. Plus, neither of these guys are bonafide picks for the NBA (Copeland certainly isn't), so what makes any of us so sure that these guys really want to go play overseas just to earn a paycheck. They are getting free room, board, basketball and the coed experience - this isn't easy for all to just give up. I have to imagine they both have the goal of getting to the NBA and there aren't a lot of examples I can think of where college kids don't get drafted, go play overseas and then come back to the NBA. And, living overseas isn't for everyone. I lean towards them coming back and trying to improve their draft stock. But, what I know more than anything, is I'm not going to give two shits about this again while the season is still going as this is still one hell of a ride to enjoy. I have no doubt I'll be thinking about this again at some point but not any further for me right now!!!
