If Frankie and Chucky both play at UNO next year they might win a tournament game before we do

Without looking it up I’m guessing that was the first time we were 3-0 against a B1G opponent since joining the Conference. 

It was the second time; Rutgers in 2016 was the first.

Indiana just got a real good player. Myles Rice

They had real good players last year, too.

I can remember when Cedric Hunter & Ron Kellogg (Omaha South & NW) Started at KU & I don’t recall them being particularly singled out when they played in Lincoln. 

I believe the story went that one year Kellogg's ex girlfriend was sitting in the front row ath the BDSC which caused him to go off for 35

I see this going one of two directions.

 

Either there is a players union that is formed. Every freshman gets a standard amount coming in, then they are able to negotiate their contracts in subsequent seasons.

 

Or some governing body (likely driven by the Big Ten and SEC) will form to provide some sort of rules and regulations.

 

But with the Supreme Court getting their hands on some of this, that can make governing a bit more difficult. Especially if there becomes some arbitrage where a public or private school has different rules or one state has advantages over another. Universities don't change the status or locations they operate, so there could be some inherent disadvantages for schools unless there's some form of regulatory body that standardizes the rules of conduct.

In right to work states, the players would have the choice of not joining the union; and even if there were  restrictions placed on the players in the union that were deemed constitutional that limited earnings, the non-union players will still be free to negotiate with anyone and everyone.  I don't see that being a way out of this.

Shall we get back on track?

 

Frankie goes to Lansing

 

 

Next year, he wants to be on the first team to ever get an at large berth despite finishing below .500

Everyone is turning down the Kentucky job. Jay Wright, Billy Donovan, Scott Drew, Nate Oats, Danny Hurley. Hopefully they end up hiring Brad Underwood. Bruce Pearl is probably the only one left with the personality to be able to deal with that circus. 

My Greg Gard prediction still has hope...

Until they pass a Legislative Resolution that clearly states that Creighton Sucks, I have no positive things to say about the State Legislature

Boy that would be quite the haul..

 

If Fidler was to come that would put us at 6 seniors next year I believe..  I know the transfer portal age is different but anyone else a bit concerned with having that many seniors...??

Better than having 6 freshmen and then having 4 of them transfer after the season anyway

Damn it, I had Greg Gard in the betting pool

After watching this game, my level of hate for U Conn is incredibly high.  To the point when they play Creighton,  I won't know who to cheer for.

 

There's always the asteroid

So, a Kentucky coaching search is triggered by a guy leaving his job to go to SMU...  By the transitive property of coaching, that means that the SMU job >>> the Kentucky job.

Has a team that lost to Nebraska ever won the national championship?

Danny and the Miracles....

Was there ever a consensus as to when rock bottom was actually reached?

Will they try for Dana Altman again??

If this guy can't fit in with the Whoa Pig Sooie culture, there's no hope

Life is funny.  Beard turned the job down so guess what?

 

 

Chris Beard, before making his final decision, watches this video and says, "I'm out".

Going to be disappointed if Pete Gillan isn't on the call given he calls every single CBS Network game I've ever seen.

Too bad he wasn't calling the first round game in 1991 rather than coaching it

It would have been an amazing ride, he's just now finding national acclaim. If NU had had a decent March Madness run, he'd have attained legendary status. Ironic that Keisei mopped the floor with that Oakland guy who had 10 threes against UK.

 

Just remember:

Jack Gohlke:  Is not Peewaukee High School's all time leading scorer.

Nick Janowski:  Is Peewaukee High School's all time leading scorer.

I think it’s probably fair to say we won’t get Kyle AND Morgan right?

Kyle, Morgan, and Omaha would be a stretch.  But they do need three more interior players, even if one is a guy you can only expect an occasional 10 minutes a game from.

Speaking of NIL my first instinct is that Dain cancelled on us to see Memphis because they're fairly notorious spenders 

 

 

I'm sure all the extra guaranteed money will cure him of being fat and lazy

November 23 would be a good day to fly this over the stadium

Just a “Vibe” I picked up on, plus the worst thing about Madison is that it’s IN Wisconsin. 

I've always heard that the worst thing about Wisconsin was that Madison was in it...

Gallegos came back after announcing he was transferring, there's a precedent

Fine.  But let me have this narrative that Gard is captaining a sinking ship, okay?  

He's going the way of Paul Chryst.  Who's name I had to look up, as he is so damn memorable.

Or split off the top conferences from the rest of Division 1 and have them run a separate championship tournament.

At least we wouldn't lose to Penn or New Mexico State that way
