Seventh straight game we've been the underdog. When will we be favored? Win this next one and this weekend maybe! Well they were right 5x in a row...and I don't see us being favored this weekend after watching the Minni-men take it to the Wisky clan tonight...not saying we won't win...but we won't be favored.

Norm, Refresh my memory...does Conference Newcomer of the Year exclude Freshmen? If not, you would have Noah Vonleh from Indiana since he has won frosh of the week nearly every week...yet my memory is that we tell ourselves freshmen are not newcomers! If so, ODD...but is that accurate?

The human mind has an incredible ability to block out pain and bad memories as time passes...but I recall the CU game differently...perhaps because of friends that won't let me forget. Other than that...I like your viewpoint.

You carried us to victory....how did you miss that extra point each way?

From his words...and I do not recall them exactly...they were young...8th to 10th grade was my interpretation...BUT I do not have a clue who...State coaches, give us a guess/update.

NU 64 o 68

I always assumed that was you...isn't it?

Are you implying that somehow the board has become animated and is now a living, breathing, opinionated collective being? Let's just say your number's come up as a person of interest.

I am trying to get my wife to believe this too. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the cipsucks memorial "Dirty Joke of The Week" award winner! Winner indeed, but it never would have taken Cip 4 days to post that! In MY defense, I tried to come up with a good one in reference to the thread title, but I just don't have what it takes I guess. I'm sure cip could come up with gold in a few minutes... Why not let Ladyhusker handle it to see if she can come up with a firm suggestion?

Perhaps a hefty PF would help. This kid has been on our board for a long time. (though we have not written about him) He recently decommitted...and he sounds somewhat like a L Smith type player. http://rivals.yahoo.com/basketballrecruiting/basketball/recruiting/player-Quadree-Smith-143066 We would still need a center, but he could provide inside PF muscle...which is where the other Smith should be anyway... Your thoughts???? (considering the relatively meager offer list, etc.)? As for me, I would welcome him to Lincoln.

Good grief, 49r. I hate to say it, but you're a Kool-Aid drinking, rose colored glasses wearing, sunshine pumping optimist if you think we're in a battle for #7. Eight, maybe. But #7? You're pushing the bounds of credulity there, my man. This sounds more like Cliff than Norm!

I was about to lecture him on patience until I got to the last 3 lines. I instead gave him a plus 1. If you were born in the 1920s or 1930s and are posting on this board, God bless you. BTW, if you were born before the 20s and are posting on the board, bring your sword and lets meet up in the Highlands this week. #ThereCanBeOnlyOne I was born in August 1951...which means I have been alive only since we won our last conference championship.(and perhaps I am the reason why) Those of you born in the 20's and 30's...I envy you....You were on the Bus through the glory years!

Im sure as good as any team on the list. Like I said I wish I had known before the tournament. I was talking to his teammate Shaqquan Aaron, Louisville commit, for a few minutes while they watched some games playing ahead of them and Crisp was sitting right there. His high school team is loaded though as they have 5 D-1 cailber starters on the team. Apparently not.

Italian Dirk approves this message These guys share a family tree with Horshack...Right?

this is so unfair on block/charge!

Yeah...but how many of them are 6'10" or taller?

2 for 1? It was under the 35 second mark....31.5.

what are we thinking with that shot with 1/2 minute left?

NU 70 pu 77

I hope GG is not in journalism...since reading his first installment of a blog for USA Today appears as uninteresting drivel. For those with a strong stomach, here is a link to Grant's thoughts on being a 24 year old college student, et. al. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/01/tales-from-the-locker-room-creightons-grant-gibbs-on-life-as-a-sixth-year-player/

There is a subscription article entitled "Shields looking to break out" at 247. Since I am not on their good list...perhaps somebody can say if there is any insight here: http://nebraska.247sports.com/Article/Nebraska-basketball-Shavon-Shields-wants-to-break-out--170825

The only reason to throw a beer through the TV screen is if you are convinced it will reach me at the Bank. Then throw!

If you want to see an end of the game call that did not go our way...watch the replay at the end where Robinson jumps on Smith's back during the second tip try....a blatant no call...and when they go to the slow mo monitor...there is still time on the clock. Two shots to come.
