  1. You may be right, but it that sounds extremely lazy. Not that hard to make adjustments of a seed line for a handful of teams each day in a case like this. Say Wisconsin or Michigan St lose on Thursday and Nebraska or Northwestern win the B1G tournament...you can't swap the seeds because you were pretty much done? Not just lazy, but negligent. How many games are there Sunday before the announcement? I checked, it's 5. Not very many and plenty of time to make adjustments and if/then decisions before those games are done.
  2. I disagree 7 is yhe ceiling. Neutral court wins over Indiana, Illinois, and Purdue, the last 2 top 10 teams, and I think a 5 seed is likely. Two quad 1a wins on bracket weekend would push us up a ton with how bunched things are. I don't think the above is happening, as much as I'd love to test my theory.
  3. Offensively, he is probably on the all-time Hisker team. But this thread has largely ignored his defense...or lack of. That's why I'd keep him off. He also has games he disappears. Not so for Lue, or Hoppen, or a guy like Strickland, who wasn't a consistently great offensive player, always impacted games with his defense. I love watching him play and will wish we still had him when next season rolls around.
  4. KT's probably not a top 20 player but he would be tough to top for most fun
  5. I think those numbers were his season averages
  6. If playing in Omaha is assumed, the chances are near zero of us losing to a 7 seed.
  7. While that may be true, there are numerous examples of people falsely denying moves. Nick Saban wasn't going to be the next coach at Alabama. How'd that turn out? We will probably know when the portal closes. Or possibly before that if CJ moves on.
  8. He will be in Lincoln to open up the Raiola era.
  9. You have not, Huskers will have 12 or 13 wins
  10. There have been some bad calls but this is nothing like Illinois. We are just playing like
  11. Not to brag, but I'm giving $20 a month, so that should cover it as long as they find just one donor to match me at 1000000%
  12. Okay, I missed on the he got paid part. My bad. But his life was ruined by the false conviction part of this whole deal. Even the innocent until proven guilty standard isn't always effective. The conviction is what ruined his life, not a suspension from sports, so the example is a false equivalency. I said early on the accuser should pay if this is made up. We agree the Banks example is a tragedy. Now I really will shut up.
  13. The article YOU linked says he got a $2.6 million judgement. Maybe he didn't see anything, but YOUR supporting article doesn't address that. Apologies for taking your evidence at face value. Trauma not only harms many people for the rest of their lives, it's the number one cause for repeated generational crime and poverty, and victims of trauma have shorter lives on average. We cannot change the past, but we can make an effort to give victims justice. It's a safe bet that he won't be convicted because most perpetrators aren't because of the reasonable doubt criminal standard. There are lots more criminals running free than there are innocent people in jail, which is preferable to the opposite. I disagree with you that this standard is what should be applied to privileged activities. I also wouldn't be supportive if my daughter started dating him, even if he is never convicted and signs a huge NBA contract someday. I have seen firsthand the way families are destroyed by sexual violence and this is far worse than a college basketball suspension, whether he is guilty or not. Sorry to all for getting into a heavy discussion like this, it's not why I come here. I'll go back to making bad score predictions and mostly reading but not posting. GBR
  14. Of course it happens, I never denied that. It's easy to find a specific example to prove whatever side you take. This particular guy still got a chance to play in the NFL. And he got paid, so his life WASN'T ruined. Countless victims of what he is accused of never see justice served on their perpetrators. Many of those perpetrators go on to commit more crimes because of the lack of consequences. Maybe he didn't do anything wrong, and if that's the case, I hope his accuser goes to jail. Let it play out in the legal system and if he's exonerated, he can play next season, one year closer to getting his free degree.
  15. I fully agree that innocent until proven guilty is the right standard for criminal conviction. The privilege of playing college basketball and winning awards is a far different standard in my opinion. He shouldn't be playing. Lawrence Phillips shouldn't have been allowed back on the team, despite what I wanted in 1995. My thinking has evolved on this and many other things in the last 30 years.
  16. False accusations happen but it's far more common for a legal acquittal to happen despite an actual assault. That's because there are rarely witnesses and it's a case of he said/ she said. Thus why so many go unreported, because why relive the trauma when nothing will happen to the perpetrator? Obviously none of us knows the truth here but imagine he did it and the victim sees him honored. Preventing him from playing basketball won't ruin his life, even if he is innocent. He is still getting a free education while suspended. But in America we value rights more than responsibilities.
