Dead Dog Alley

If the prize is wagyu ribeyes, might I suggest that the next contest winner be whoever has the best recollection of seeing Hampton High School play in the late 1970s?

And after the Nebraska stint ruined that guy's career, the next little known guy will definitely think twice before taking the job.

Was it really a surprise that he died in Memorial Stadium?

I think if we just build a new arena, and hire a coach who has had success in the NCAA Tournament, and are fortunate enough to have some Top 75 talent in state, we will finally break through as a program. Or at least I thought that 10 years ago. Now...

Nothing in particular is wrong with that tweet, but 15 years of someone pretending he's an Oracle of Delphi when he's nothing but Captain Obvious has worn pretty thin.

The worst thing about this state is that the sports columnists suck just as much as the state university's men's sports teams.

That's probably why the interview process no longer includes a night on the town with a whole bunch of drinking.

You all need to go find your Special Purpose.

It's a good thing Danny didn't offer him an assistant position to keep him from going to Kansas State. Because Mitch Richmond would have stuck out like a sore thumb in Lincoln.

Mark Turgeon could save some money by living in his dad's basement.

Ten short years ago a team seemingly destined to lose out instead made Illinois' starting center cry...

Being the Japanese Steph Curry may be analogous to being the Inuit Wilt Chamberlain.

TREV: How would you like to coach the Huskers this year? NORM: I don't know... TREV: What do ya mean you don't know? This is a chance to coach in the Big Ten. NORM: Lemme think it over, will ya, Trev. I got a guy on the other line about some whitewalls. I'll talk to ya later.

Well, he's not redshirting this year. https://redravenathletics.com/sports/mbkb/2021-22/players/blaisekeitawg45

Here's his stat line so far this year: In other words, apparently he hasn't played.

I've been having premonitions of this. NU beats four covid-riddled teams to reach the finals and ends up playing a team with a couple of football players who were called on a week earlier; Kent Pavelka's call for the season-ending play starts out as "Noah from the arc..."

I have been to the Great Wall of China. I have seen the Pyramids of Egypt. I've even witnessed a grown man satisfy a camel. But never in all my years... have I once seen a Division 1 men's basketball team with three people in the starting lineup weighing less than 180 pounds beat another major conference team.

Wisconsin at home, January 25.

If it were more like 8 weeks, I'd like Nebraska's chances.

Shim Shams are putting in a lot of work getting ready for the next halftime.

Colorado had lost 28 straight conference road games, and 100 out of their last 101, when they came into the Devaney Center on February 25, 1995. With the help of some lack of court awareness by Mikki Moore in the last few minutes, they came out with an 80-74 win; Nebraska dropped to 17-10, 4-8 in the conference, and almost all hope of a fifth straight NCAA Tournament appearance was gone. I didn't see a large part of that game because Lil' Red was standing in front of me. Whoever thought up that monstrosity should have molasses poured over their sensitive region and then be staked out on top of an anthill.

Questionable officiating against Illinois, Ohio State, Kansas, Creighton didn't help.

The best coaching that Miles did in his tenure were in the last 6 games after he knew he was going to be fired.
