Dead Dog Alley

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I'm not sure you can blame this officiating on incompetence...

The good news is, if they get sent to Dayton for a play in game, they can still finish over .500...

On a related note, the Jesuits had a very, let's say, controversial history, and that was before they performed the ultimate sin of creating Creighton University.

You apparently haven't paid a lot of attention to Xavier Johnson, shown below applying a special hold from behind between the legs of EJ Liddell.

Unfortunately he followed that up with 225 Big Macs the following summer, along with they type of salad that you don't eat.

It didn't make the cut to be included on Rumors, but Oh Daddy and Songbird did...a complete travesty.

I'm in general agreement. We didn't look to be in a position to land any coach with a big enough reputation to turn the needle with respect to creating any instant fan interest; it would be another complete March-April roster rebuild; it would be another 20 loss season in the new guy's first year. It would not be a great position for someone new to be in. Whether any of that will change by next year, well, who knows.

Well, he was optimistic about the Barry Collier era 4 years into it; so it's not completely out of character. (One of the downsides of keeping the same screen name for 18 years is that some things like that are still remembered.)

He was so ashamed of being in Iowa, that he could only reference it by being East of Omaha.

The only reason I don't turn "Mmm mmm mmm mmm" instantly when it comes on the radio is to see, "Is this really the worst song ever recorded?"

Keeping it in different threads might keep the hot seat thread from reaching the length of the Matthew Atewe thread - which, judging by history, would likely mean that nothing happens.

Maybe we can grant Fred an annulment in return for reducing the buyout, so he can scrub this from his record? Retroactively name Doc the head coach for the last three years?

Hey, it's not every year when your final conference record rhymes with the top one hit wonder song from 1982.

This is the Number One team in the country when it comes to giving up and quitting as soon as something bad happens. So they got that going for them, which is nice.

So, after the season, Fred goes into Trev's office and Trev says, 'I've got some bad news; I really don't know how to break this to you; but, we have to bring you back next year." Fred says, "Is there any way I can talk you out of this?"

Admittedly, this is not a great song - but, coming up with "If they knew what you was thinkin they'd throw you out of Lincoln" further shows that John Prine was a genius.

Every thread in this genre eventually includes this one, so here goes. An odd fact is that John Prine refused to take any credit for co-writing this with Steve Goodman.

"have been able to find Nebraska on a map two months before they signed with them"

You'd think a team with "EQUALITY" on their jersey would be playing for a tie. I guess that's just an empty gesture...

Outside of that 42-10 run to end the half, we weren't terrible.

If Iowa gets to 100 everybody gets to have a visit with Lois Feldman in a Metrodome bathroom stall.

Out of the nine best players on the floor so far today, Nebraska has zero.

A line-up of Kobe Webster, Kesei Tominaga, Trey McGowens, and CJ Wilcher would not be a good one even if Hakeem Olajuwon was playing the 5.

Maybe if they have a really big hall of fame; he was their seventh leading scorer and fourth leading rebounder that year while they went 18-10. He did lead them in blocks... ## SUMMARY GP-GS Min FG% 3PT% FT% R/G A/G STL BLK PTS/G ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20 Ping,Shang.......... 25-20 14.9 .586 .000 .371 3.3 0.4 3 11 5.2
