    As is demonstrated by the fact that, suddenly, all of our remaining home games are sold out.

    I’ve been around Omaha a long time, and I’m quite certain that the vast majority of the folks who say such things are fans of other teams.
    Also, history shows that, when Nebrasketball is even halfway good, Nebraskans jump on that bandwagon in a big hurry.

    I thought about starting a new thread for this, but royalfan said it perfectly.  No Sit Sunday was a big deal for the Husker program and what Tim Miles did here. You can't recreate that.  However, these next two Sundays can catapult the Husker program into areas we dreamt about in the early 90's with Danny!  Everyone in attendance has to do their all to make sure Nebraska wins these games!  I know you will!  GBR!

    I don't agree with that, at all. NU will never be a #12 because the last 4 in are usually 11's. The mid-majors are typically 12's.
     
    I can see a scenario where NU can figure into Omaha, but it involves getting a bunch more wins yet. We shall see. I'm not counting us out, let's just say. When it doesn't happen, then it doesn't happen. My wishful thinking is personal in nature.

    My preseason prediction was 19-12.
    Right now we have 19 wins and still have four games left.
    Lets hope we don't go 19-12!

    What a crazy game!
    That Brice Williams block was incredible and encapsulated the night.

    We need PBA to be completely rocking these next two home games.  Playing 2 very dangerous teams and can easily lose to either of them.  The average fan might not realize it.  We have to help bringh these guys home.

    I am on record saying we need Lawrence when people were calling for him to be benched for Hoiberg.  He gives us things nobody else does.  So happhy for him that he had a game like this.  He is a big part of our future as well hopefully.

    If we're going the route of former 5-stars, why not add Omaha Biliew to the mix? Neither are playing much where they are. Both were recruited here and had at least *some* interest. Something to ponder, anyway.

    Take him in a heartbeat. He was the MVP of the EYBL Peach Jam, an event full of 5-star future lottery picks. Besides all that, just watching his film he was my favorite PG of that class. Tenacious defender with length and quickness.

    I like the greys…also wish we’d wear more black and less all whites.  But I might be the minority.

    If he looked tentative and scored 15, I can't wait to see what he looks like when he gets comfortable.

    There are two things that Doc Sadler consistently tweets
     
    1. Quote retweets talking about how good the Cowboys are compared to Lance Jeter's Steelers in what should either be replies or a text conversation 
    2. Retweeting Gus Yalden tweets

    tl;dr
    Yeezy isn't giving Nebraska (or anyone else) anything
     
    Yeezy functions much more like an independent brand than Jordan.  Yeezy has a very minimal marketing budget and it is largely Kanye's choice what it is spent on.  He chose to spend the vast majority of last year's budget on his Sunday Service touring operations.  He outfits those around them in the Yeezy brand and relies on their status as social media influencers for more grassroots promotion.
     
    Also at this point Yeezy is a lifestyle brand, not a sports brand.  They've made one pair of football cleats that were absolutely terrible and have produced one model of basketball-focused sneaker but those have largely been ignored by the sports world and have minimal resell value.  The latter was released during NBA ASW in Chicago but little has come of it since then.  I would expect this to change very soon though given that Kanye has recently purchased the former Stoneridge Prep in Simi Valley, CA and opened-up The Donda Academy, a tuition-free school that is seeking to teach K-12.  They've already signed several 3 and 4-star basketball recruits and they are of course outfitted by Yeezy.
     
    Currently, there is a dearth of Yeezy products on the bodies of student-athletes and coaches at Adidas schools.  Back when he was still at Louisville, Rick Pitino would sometimes wear Yeezy 350s when scouting recruits.  Immediately after signing-on as coach of Nebraska, Scott Frost was seen wearing some Copper Yeezy 350 V2s.  These were clearly purchased by him personally to try to stunt at his press conference and I've never seen him wearing any other Yeezy products.  His Lincoln home was robbed shortly afterwards and his sneaker collection was stolen so that may have contributed to his lower profile lol
     
    Similarly, if you ever see any of our basketball players in the real world you will rarely see them wearing Yeezy.  Most actually wear Jordan sneakers, even at Husker sports events.  The only player I've ever spotted rocking Yeezy was Thor once when I saw him show up to a football game at Memorial wearing some Blue Tint Yeezy 350 V2s.  Everyone that has been at the football games this season have been wearing Jordans or Nikes.  Trey McGowens has a pair of Off-White Nike Dunks he likes to wear, but so far the undisputed sneaker king of the team has been Lat Mayen who showed-up in some Off-White Sail Jordan 4 that resell for $3,000+ in larger sizes.  NIL money, baby!

    I think the one thing Hoiberg can point to is that Banton, a guy that got demoted in season, was still able to get drafted. Granted he had something others players may not have but it shows that connections to the NBA can still be made even if you don’t put up amazing stats.

    There’s some talk about Him moving to the prep school in order to expedite his career a year while also playing better competition. We will see if the former happens though.

    This would give us the ability to have Abdelmassih not be on the court for practice and allow Doc to take his place.

    I think he plays point in HS just to have the ball in his hand because he’s just that good of a scorer. I think he’s an off guard that’s more of a shooting guard that can handle the ball if need be.

    Thanks to @jimmykc for bringing this to the Board's attention!
     
    Though I am in Lincoln, I probably won't be able to get to every UNL game. But at the games that I do attend, you bet I'll still be in the hard hat and dancing if possible!
