Trying to forget, dude. Trying to forget.

Because he's huge?

There were a handful of plays (both in the halfcourt offense and on the break) where we had guys (Rey and Talley, mostly) who were making a move to the bucket and then pulled up for a mid-range jumper. I kept yelling at my TV, "Take it to the rack and get fouled!". Alas...

If that's the best logo we have, we need a new logo.

Yup. I started to say to my wife just seconds before the lob went up, "If you're playing that kind of pressure you're opening yourself....(lob...dunk)...to plays just like that."

Seeing that you brought up officiating and I didn't see anybody else comment on this, I'll bring it up here. When the Michigan State player got the steal then went in for the dunk and had his knee buckel, where was the foul? It didn't look like the Nebraska player (can't remember who it was) touched him and the ref didn't blow the whistle till the player came back down. The reply looked like he was untouched, but then they got two shots out of it. Just curious if anybody else noticed that, or I'm just crazy. It was Gallegos on the play. And I agree, on replay it didn't look like he hit the guy. But on the initial play it looked like Rey got him pretty good (but that was really only because of how the guy's leg went out on him and he fell hard). Initially it looked like a foul (if only for how the Michigan State player reacted). The play I found a bit...awkward...was the free throw when the dude got a practice shot. The first shot came right back to him (way short and off the front of the iron) and when the ref came out to get the ball to re-set everyone, dude shot it right over the ref's head. The ref said something to him and gave him the ball back. Kid shot three freethrows in a two-shot trip. Good thing he missed them all. Am I wrong in thinking that should have been a delay of game issue (much like grabbing the ball after a made basket)? Anyone?

I hate the fact we're the team that has to play well to lose by 10-15. But, honestly, we've done better than I thought we would (I went on record saying Michigan would beat us by 40). Miles, in losing games by double digits, is proving to be a fine hire (somehow he's making that sentence make sense). Slow clap, indeed!

Coach Miles' tie: C-.

Well, if they ditched the state outline and the script "Huskers" then I'd agree. I hate script "Huskers"...it looks retro in a terrible way. That said, this is the "N" I would like to see at midcourt.

This is hilarious!!!!!!!!

Coach Miles' tie: D+. Liked the shirt, though.

Yup. Their work on the offensive boards killed us. But, their work from the free throw line kept us in it. Well, that and some pretty hard work on our part. I was glad to be wrong about the outcome of this game. I thought we'd lose by 40.

Perfect song choice for this one!

It's a simple prediction to say we lose by 40. It's what I'm expecting, at least. I hate that I just typed that.

Have you seen much of Fuller yet? Or Biggs for that matter. If nothing else, I've seen the words "All American" next to his name.

Coach Miles' tie: B+

I was a bit frustrated with the lack of urgency in the final two minutes. We're within striking distance with under 2:30 to play and still walking the ball up the floor. That rubbed me the wrong way.

Pitchford, Webster, Biggs.

This. Why have the names on the jerseys if they're not visible from four feet away? Trim the names in white and be done with it. Otherwise, I think they look pretty cool. I like the home team in the dark color...what's the point of chanting "Go Big Red" when the team is in white?

Very cool!

I don't know, Peltz kind of fits in that Tim Marlowe mold...

I walked right on into that one!

I only got a quick look at it tonight. It was my anniversary and my wife didn't want to spend too much of it watching basketball. That said, I'd give it at least a B. It was simple, yet refined!

Damnit...I forgot about the tie grade! Thanks for picking up the slack. I'm sure it won't be the last time!
