I am in the camp that it's pretty freaking sweet to see Nebraska in the top third in the preseason poll!

I thought it was pretty funny as well.

I think athletic scholarships should be determined by athletic performance, just as academic scholarships are determined by academic performance. If a player isn't fulfilling his athletic promise, the scholly could be removed. If a student on a full-ride academic scholarship lets his GPA dip below a certain level (3.5, for example), his scholly is removed.

But isn't that determined after the student does or doesn't graduate? I don't know much about the APR, obviously.

Any idea what "in good standing" means?

Because the athletic department is still trying to learn how to spell his name???? Other than that, I've got nothing.

Good stuff!

I am a firm believer that one Grinell game a year should be broadcast on ESPN. That's all I need, really. Those games are wild!

I almost went with something about not taking it to the hole, but the dunk bit was too good to let sit.

Well, he didn't dunk very often, if that's what you mean.

I had a dream the other night that JBD was in an episode of Law and Order. The cops needed information from him and questioned him as he was waiting in the drinking fountain line during practice.

I can see it on my IPad, now that I'm home.

Well, I guess that answers the Hammond/redshirt question. Kind of surprises me a bit.

Then who is your scorer off the bench? You need someone on the second unit that can score. Apparently it should be Trevor Menke. That is, according to Petteway in today's presser.

I would agree with this. It was the best lineup we had last year. Off bench will be Moses, Benny, fuller, rivers. They are going to do everything they can to still red shirt Hammond. Hammond expects to play this year.

Can anyone give a run down? Not working on my phone. Thanks He basically said that Miles said he has been impressed with Smith and how he handles pressure and makes the right decisions. Mentioned recruiting him in New Jersey showing that NU is putting its blue print all over. Didn't say Smith would start, but will have a good shot at it. Thank you. I couldn't get audio on the vid this morning.

Josh Heskew told me he spent the majority of his recruiting trip in a hotel room drinking with his player-hosts.

Not in a pre-season mag. His junior year, we were something like 10-18. Entering his senior year, everyone expected Nebraska to suuuuuuck. So, no, I don't expect we had anyone on any pre-season top 25 lists going into that magical season. King did average more points/game his junior than he did as a senior. Wouldn't have ever guessed that.

Pretty crazy to not be in the top-25 position ranking and end up being a first-round draft pick. That's a heck of a jump!

Might Rich King have made the top-25 of his position?

Depends. Do the steaks crawl across the counter and then burst into a pile of maggots in this house?

It's a good thing no butterflies flapped their wings in China during this time.

This. Does not. Suck.
