Dead Dog Alley

I'll tell you this, Superior is one of the 12 nicest towns on Highway 14. (Unless you also include Marquette and Loretto on that list, then it's one of the 14 nicest.)

At least all their cheating in hoops didn't get their football team in trouble.

One man's Tyronn is another man's Tyrone... I doubt that he'll ever coach in college, but if we have to look for a new coach in the next 10 years he should get the first call.

I imagine it's something like: "Man this is kind of heavy. Do you mind if I set it down someplace?"

Speaking for myself, I would much rather go to the Hilltop Mall in Kearney than the Hilltop Full Of D-Bags in Omaha. But that's just me.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out what the title of this thread means. Banton in Flux? I mean, what?

Below is the heights and weights of the Iowa State roster from Fred's first season vs. the heights and weights of our current roster. Hopefully some S&C work will correct some of the weight disparity - otherwise NU might get pushed around quite a bit. And if Walker or Andre are out with an injury - well, perish the thought. 6-9 260 6-8 232 6-9 255 6-10 228 6-7 245 7-0 220 6-8 240 6-7 215 6-6 230 6-9 210 6-5 230 6-9 205 6-5 225 6-9 204 6-7 210 6-5 195 6-4 210 6-4 191 6-2 205 6-2 188 6-4 190 6-7 185 6-1 180 6-3 184 5-11 175 6-4 180 6-1 175 6-2 176 5-11 170 6-6 172 6-0 165 6-0 170 6-0 170 6-0 170

Nick Davidson leads Mater Dei boys basketball to 51-38 win over Santa Margarita - YouTube Here's highlights of Mater Dei's lowest scoring game of the year so far. Breidenbach is #32, USC recruit Harrison Hornery (6'10") is #30, and Nevada recruit Nick Davidson (6'8") is #35. Breidenbach has some ups and downs in these highlights.

If you think we're facing off with some good coaches now - well, take a look at the career wins and losses (in Division 1) of the guys coaching in the Big 8 in 1991. Kansas Roy Williams 903 264 Oklahoma St Eddie Sutton 806 329 Kansas State Dana Altman 690 353 Missouri Norm Stewart 634 333 Oklahoma Billy Tubbs 609 317 Iowa State Johny Orr 466 346 Nebraska Danny Nee 409 382 Colorado Joe Harrington 251 220

It looks to me like we'll go anywhere from 5-15, in which case we'll be wondering why we got all hyped up in the off-season, to 15-5, in which case we'll be firmly on the bubble for the NIT.

Actually it was Johnny Orr who said it while dissing the Nebraska crowd. The Dead Dog Alley marketing campaign might have been Nee's idea, but when Danny explained it, it really didn't make a lot of sense. (Why should we embrace an insult someone else hurled at us?) The t-shirt came with the student ticket and it was just for one year - 1990 - the year Beau Reid was injured and they stunk it up, going 10-18. The next year when they went 26-8 the whole Dead Dog Alley thing was completely forgotten. I thought at the time it was one of the dumbest marketing campaigns I'd ever heard of, and I still do. The t-shirt wasn't bad though.

Delete the first fifteen words and the last three words of this post, and you have yourself a correct psychological profile.

One had great-great-great-great-grandfathers whose cattle looked like this. The other had great-great-great-great grandfathers whose cattle looked like this.

Growing up 120 miles west of Omaha, I had never even really heard of Creighton until I was 12 years old. Looking back, those were 12 pretty good years.

Shamiel Stevenson would have averaged 30 points a game if there were no charges called.

If you want to throw cold water on this - St. Joseph's went 5-15; their roster listed him at 6'7" and not 6'8"; he only averaged 10 points a game as a high school senior, being only the fourth leading scorer on his team, and he was only a two-star recruit; and if he signs on, there won't be enough minutes to go around. On the other hand, the highlight reel and assist stats are extremely impressive. There's some elite skills on display there. If you have a chance to get a young man like this on your team, you do all you can to get him. One other thing, I looked up his high school stats and it was amazing how his season averages didn't change much from his senior year of high school to his freshman year of college. Year ppg rpg apg spg bpg fg% 3pt% ft% 2019-20 (High School Senior) 10.7 7.4 5.1 1.5 0.4 42 34 72 2020-21 (College Freshman) 10.6 5.9 5.7 1.3 0.1 38 35 76

Why couldn't we get two top 10 recruits in the same class? After all, we'll have plenty of roster space that year after a lot of guys go pro after our first Final Four season.

So would he put his first name or his last name on his jersey? In the NIL age that could be a big decision. (Putting your first name on the jersey is not unprecedented; Olajuwon did it. Although he was too shy to tell everybody at Houston that they were spelling his name wrong; hence it was "AKEEM" and not "HAKEEM".)

I wonder if Danny Manning ever thought that he'd better be nice to that little walk-on, since he might be working for him some day. Regarding father/son deals here, Danny Nee hired Arden Reid as director of basketball operations his first year (and then fired him a few years later).

Instead of "that", don't you mean "another"?

The Panda Tangent said on today's Omaha World Herald Pick Six podcast that Derrick Walker is planning on playing here two more years. So that would project them to have Keita, Andre, Walker, and Oleg inside. Just what everyone expected when Fred came in with his five out open post offense, promising to play without a traditional big man all the time - to be four deep at center.

Don't act like The Portal has any dignity. The Portal wants it.

At least William & Mary can inbound the ball without having to bounce it off the other team.

I don't think it's been determined yet whether, in coming years, seniors who return for their extra year will count against the scholarship total. Shamiel, Lat, and Derrick would all be in their sixth year of college, and Derrick would be in his seventh year out of high school since he had a prep school year.

It's better than that. With the one-time transfer rule, someone who already has that one-time transfer is more likely to stick around.
