Seemingly, around 90% of these off topic threads eventually turn into being about what is the best cover song of all time. So here goes.

Kenneth Lee Sadler. August 8.

At least Roby's gutless performance in the first half seems to have gotten a well deserved mercy killing.

Carsen Edwards, Lamar Stevens, Cassius Winston, Anthony Cowan, Tyler Cook, Amir Coffey, Eugene Omoruyi, Charles Matthews, Isaiah Moss, Mike Watkins, Jon Teske. That's just the guys in the Junior class in the Big Ten who are having better seasons than Roby.

Nah, I've seen tougher squirrels than this.

Roby's court awareness surpasses only that of Jordy's.

We'd have been better off if we'd dropped the sport.

If Roby was on Michigan's roster...would he even play?

There's nothing worse than an asshat PA announcer that has to scream "trheeeeeeeeeeeeeee". Nebraska had one in the late 90s. It pretty much ruins watching a game.

Maybe Rashan Burno told Hurley about some good restaurants in Lincoln.

Nebraska 13 and Northwestern 14. Coming into the season, the two teams with the best senior classes in the conference.

In breaking news, ice is cold, water is wet, and McJunkins is a M*****F****g cheater. Was Fran just the last person to figure it out?

If we get to 140 pages that means we hire Bill Self this time. All we have to do is tell him he doesn't have to worry about winning a conference championship every single year, that he won't have to cheat anymore because all we want to do is win a tournament game and not get to the Final Four, and finally that at Nebraska he wouldn't have to worry so much about his image that he can finally take that ridiculous squirrel off his head.

If only it was 38-9. It was actually 43-8, and permanently burned into my memory. The bad thing was that the 43-8 score was not indicative of how much of a mismatch it was, it was actually not nearly that close. It was a miracle if we got the ball within 30' of the rim at the start of that game. And we were not a terrible team that year. But then again, outside of that 31-2 run they had, we outscored them 54-45....

It's the SEC. If you ain't cheating you ain't trying. Or you are Vanderbilt.

Two or three more failed six-year-rebuilding plans and I'll be old enough that the Shim-Shams might start to look appealing.

Moe did a great job of turning him into a poor man's John Matzke. Of course he also did a great job of turning John Matzke into a poor man's John Matzke.

Make sure you toss your hair around and run your fingers through it if you ever get on camera.

Thad Matta Coached Teams 14 Dana Altman Coached Teams 13 Gregg Marshall Coached Teams 12 Mark Turgeon Coached Teams 9 Steve Alford Coached Teams 9 Bruce Weber Coached Teams 9 Kelvin Sampson Coached Teams 8 Shaka Smart Coached Teams 6 Fred Hoiberg Coached Teams 4 University of Nebraska Teams 1 And the category is...total number of seasons with 23 or more wins.

Poped, popped, pooped, whatever the word is it applies.

You're close, but it's not John Wooden. We are trying to hire Jesus. Heal the lepers? Small change. Make the blind see? Yeah, yeah. yeah. Walk on water? Big deal. Feed the five thousand? It's called catering. Raise Lazurus from the dead? An EKG machine can do that. Resurrect yourself after three days? Well, I suppose that's an accomplishment. But win an NCAA Tournament game at Nebraska? Now that, that would be impressive. (Sorry for the sacrilege...)

I once had some friends reffing a C2 high school football game. Another friend and I walked up to the sideline where a couple guys were bitching loudly at some call, so I said at the top of my voice "yeah you dumb sons a bitches!" The one guy on the reffing crew that I didn't know asked the head official "what the hell did we do to piss off that guy?", to which the response was a chuckle and a "don't worry about it, we know that guy". Meanwhile, the guys who were complaining about the call looked around a bit embarrassed, went and took a seat, and never bitched about a call the rest of the night.

Big Ten must hate Pitino?

On March 17, 1983, in the first round of the Mideast Regional of the NCAA Tournament, 11th seeded Ohio Universty beat 6th seeded Illinois State by a score of 51-49, in the then 52-team format. This remains the only win in the NCAA Tournament by a Nebraska head basketball coach, accounting for games coached before, during, and after coaching Nebraska.
