Dead Dog Alley

It really dropped off in the mid 90s when Bill Byrne ruined it by trying to suck up a few more dollars, and put the donor class down by the floor.

Has any of those supernatural investigative shows, the type that look into the Bermuda Triangle, Bigfoot, UFOs, and the like, ever done a show on what the paranormal phenomena is that turns Folsom Field into a magnet for assholes?

I was watching a Nebraska vs Oklahoma game a while back and Keith Jackson started going on about how amazing the sellout streak was. That game was in 1978.

In the transfer portal, all that glitters is not gold. 45.

On the bright side, we'll be picked in the preseason to finish 13th in the conference, which is the highest preseason ranking that we will have in the next ten years.

If I was that one guy I sure as hell would fake an injury or something

Nebraska's 4 on 4 offense worked pretty well against Iowa last year when they guarded Keisei with Muray.

They probably just unplugged it and plugged it back in...

He must have gotten shorter on the flight to Europe

Winthrop and Niagara are amongst the 239 elite programs that can claim an NCAA Tournament win

So Nebraska is the artery that keeps the conference upright?

The fattest guy at Woodstock would now be the skinniest guy at a Pizza Ranch

Ten years ago today, a lot of people, including myself, lost a really good friend. It was someone I'd known for close to 40 years as he grew up a few miles away. I didn't go to the same high school, but I was in the same 4-H club, worked some of the same jobs in the summer, was on the same high school team for a year, took a whole bunch of classes with him in college, and got to hang around him a decent amount. He had the rare ability to make sitting through the dullest things like a Thermodynamics class entertaining. I never heard anyone speak a bad word of him, except that maybe his feet were too big and he didn't cut his fingernails down enough. He was also the stepfather of Josiah Allick and his siblings. Josiah switched his jersey number to 53 this year, in honor of him, because that was his football jersey number. I don't know Josiah, but I hope he has a huge season this year. Go Big Red.

That sounds like the way I mishandled potential relationships with about 30 different women...

I think with CJ there might be a point of diminishing marginal utility. He's not exactly Benny Anders; he has to put forward a tremendous amount of effort defensively. And he does; watch him trying to close out on shooters, and even though he might not be getting there he is still working hard. And it might be the case where the energy he's expending defensively is affecting his shooting. (Conjecture on my part, sure, but these types of things are always unproveable.) So, maybe he's more effective as a 16 minute per game guy than at 25 minutes a game? Just a thought.

Take away the missed dunks when Trey was trying to impersonate Darrell Griffith and that average gets better...

Yeah, go rip away an extra rebound from a teammate, manufacture an assist, get it done...

Juwan Gary fails to score a point per minute. (13:20 minutes, 13 points) Cale Jacobsen fails to get a triple double. (13 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals, 3 turnovers)

If Washington comes in here and Breidenbach drops 30, do we finally consider dropping the sport?

You would sell out a Monday game a lot of years

So, all we will have to do is win 7 games in 7 days to win the Big 10 tournament?

What's the bigger stain that he has to carry the rest of his life, "chronic gambler" or "Iowa backup kicker".

You'll quickly figure out which players can handle the heat by finding out which ones don't die. This new generation, they are soft.

Speaking of San Diego, have you been to Swagyu Pacific Beach?
