I’m gonna be ornery and say she looked like that Wisconsin dude in the other thread

Did not like it when he transferred . Good for him though!

I realize we’re Husker fans here, but if your report is mostly accurate, this is a really big deal and absolutely stinks. I didn’t get to see the game. I’d love to know all the inner workings of being a major college b-ball ref. Is it really this shameful lame crap that we all think it is ? Or do these guys take it super seriously and really work at their craft ? No doubt it is an extremely difficult task. How’s the grading work and does it make a difference ? I’d love to hear Hoiberg ( and other coaches) give his take honestly and freely on his overall perspective on the state of reffing. I suppose we’ve covered all this over the years to one degree or another…

( that year ) Pike had 42 in the Big 8 tourney first round game ( vs OU, I think ).

Crap, I wish we could drop hoops for this thread and talk all about Rosie and RFK’s assassination. That gets into crazy stuff quick. Can you imagine being involved in that situation?? You’re inspiring me to do some research to see if there’s info about his account of that fateful night.

Hopefully a great day for you two !

Wowsers !!

Crazy, yesterday ( I think ) on Lincoln KLIN’s 5-6pm show ( Dan Parsons-sp?), the host had a brief interview of a local writer who did a feature recently on the guy who came out with a fairly recent book on the Starkweather murders.

Handy, serious ? What city you in ( Superior?)….I’m in Lincoln. Giving it a go ( biking ) tomorrow morning. Wind chill supposed to at zero when I take off (6:30 AM). Made a little test run tonight to check my route. Gonna be fun, 18 miles round trip !!

Speaking of EJ’s Sr year. If I remember correct, we had to rally in that first game with Creighton, pretty exciting game. A freshman by the name of Eric Dolezal ( sp? ) got some pt in that first game and had a big block on a jump shot from the top of the key. He was a very good athlete- about 6’3”. Had played center on his high school team I believe. Transferred after that season….in the 4th game of that same year, we played San Jose State in the championship game of the Ameritas Classic. They had a fella on their team by the name of….Tony Farmer. He transferred to Nebraska the next season and sat out per transfer rules. But he was ready to roll in 90-91 as a starter on Danny’s big breakout team ( we went 26-8 and were a 3 seed in the dance).

EJ’s Sr year, first 2 games …..vs Creighton at home ( w) and Michigan State (L) home. Almost positive back to back 30 pt games for him. I remember thinking wow, he’s going to have a fantastic Sr year. He settled in to a solid year…not quite the level of those games.

When I was a little punk, I was driving my bike through the big kids while they were trying to shoot hoops in my driveway. One of them got pissed and grabs the bar at the back of my bike ( connected to the back of my banana seat ) and jerks it backwards. My body and junk flied forward and rams into the gooseneck….wowsers, believe it or not…years later, got married and had children.

IIRC, Eric Johnson played on Danny’s 2nd & 3rd teams. So he would have played with Henry T ( who was on Danny’s first two teams ) one year. Eric did not score 30 in his debut. That would have been the first 2 games of his Sr year. He would have played with Ray Richardson ( who Danny said had a Cadillac body with a VW engine->he was right on that ( smile )-> I loved Ray though ). Harvey Marshall was a Sr on Moe’s last team ( that made the tourney). Btw Handy, Handy Johnson was on the team that beat #1 Mizzou ( much talked about game the other night). Henry T ( Sr year) went off in the defeat of Danny and Miracles that year ( think he had 26). Beau hit the winning shot. And Vinnie Johnson was so fun to watch at the end of his career as the microwave on those Pistons teams. Think I’ve covered it all there in kind of a hodge podge of misc ( and I don’t even drink)….anybody catch anything factually untrue there ?

In this thread I had Huskers by 10, but Huskerkid21 had us by 14 !! Oh baby he was close.

I remember listening in 1982 as a young teenager in total disbelief and joy. Terry Smith lead us in scoring that night? Ah that sweet baseline turnaround shot he had. I wasn’t born for the 64 home game.

For the love of all things just in the world, let’s win this baby. Had them on the stinkin ropes last year. The massive human beings they roll out each year at center gets really old….

I’ll go 10 and 10

Oleg puttin in the work….I’m impressed !!

Huskers by 12

What about a Née cap ? Anyone still have one of those ? I know I’ve got a shirt some where that says Neebraska.

Jeepers … never a dull moment with Danny. Fun to hear his voice.

I remember the Mizzou game somewhat ( listening on the radio ). Not as well as you. I can’t remember if it was a weeknight or Saturday night? It was fun and unexpected is what I do remember. Terry Smith I believe had a nice game ( that sweet soft turnaround from the baseline) and we won 66-51? 1982 ? I could look it up, but that’s no fun.

100%….and so many other things.

RE Dube….Well I guess I was wrong on a chunk of what I asserted. As the Vonz tried to say “I was wrong”. He was an explosive shoot blocker and dunker that’s for sure. I did not remember that freakish wingspan. Back to the main point, seems like Diop has more potential, we’ll see.
