The “mean little Blue Jay” is infinitely better than whatever that new thing is, & don’t even get me started on the Prariewolves or the Lopers...

Sadly, at Target the only thing on display is the “Drunk Randy Travis” look alike. I know there’s some Herbie gear at Scheels but what’s most disappointing is the selection at the PBA Husker shop...

On a scale of 1-10, I’ll take Lil’ Red 10 outta 10 times over that “abomination” there on the bottom...

Au contrere’ Mon frere, we held the tie breaker over 5th place Michigan... that’s how it was seeded in the B1G tourney.

We also have the sad distinction of being the only team in B1G history to finish 4th and NOT make the Dance That might define Nebraska Basketball in a nutshell. BUT the “little engine that could” days, the NIT road games, the endless “Bubble watches” those will soon be part of a bygone era of Husker Hoops. Someday soon many of us will sit courtside somewhere & watch our Huskers advance DEEP into an NCAA tournament & become once and for all a “Basketball School” too...

Well, whenever we’re picked 13th we finish 4th & vice versa, even this short trip to Italy will begin to fill in some of the big picture...

Sip & Jake rattled off a pre-season B1G poll this morning that had us at 12 & I believe MN @ 13. Also recall Penn St listed @ 5... sight unseen with this roster it’s hard to make ANY type of guess, but 12 seems like underselling the talent level straight up, and how it compares to the other rosters...

I scored a pair in the 100 section, hopefully I’ll be able to talk some drunken floozy in town for the Football game to go with me...

That’s the only thing the DN was ever good for... ( Ba-dump-bah)!

Well I know for sure Men’s P.E. is out... what about those full length outdoor courts over on East Campus? I use to OWN those bad boys during summer leagues!

Here’s another laugher for you, over the next 3 years Chris Paul is owed I believe it is 38, 41, & 44 million $$. That last year he’ll be 36. Sounds like he MIGHT go the Heat, but that contract is absurd...

I laugh every time I hear the phrase “Super Team” like the powers that be got in room back around 2010 and said, “Hey let’s try to get as many good players as we can on the SAME team.” No one had EVER thought of that before. Anyway, yer giving the Jazz as a #2 seed way too much love & don’t believe the Clipper hype, they’ll be like the Nuggets of the Melo/Iverson era, all sizzle, no steak

I thought you were asking what a hooker costs @ Casey’s on 13th & F...

And now Iguadola?... the plot thickens.

I would guess Kuzma or Pope would “D” up on Leonard, and yes there are reasons to believe the pieces won’t “fit.” The key to their success & focal point of the offense should be Davis not LeBron. You could have Cousins come off the bench, freeing up the other two, along with (Rondo, Green, MaGee) veterans who are use to winning. P.S. If Korver ever comes over after I’ve already dealt with LeBron/Rondo I might have to burn all my Lakers gear, even my Mike McGee jersey...

That’s certainly true, in many ways it will look like a glorified pick-up game from our end. I really want to see how “fast” we play & what lineups we throw out there...

Sounds like James will be “officially” handling the PG duties meaning Rondo will be coming off the bench. Would love to see a starting 5 of Boogie & the Brow on the block, with Kuzma & Caldwell-Pope outside with LBJ... Leonard/George are nice, but the Lakers frontline will crush them!

I’m excited to see what happens when get these guys on the same court together. I know it’s a small sample size against iffy competition but I want to see which freshman can hang, and how many shooters we REALLY have....

OKC fans have been spoiled from the get go. Durant fell in their laps (thank you SuperSonics) so did Harden & then yer in the Finals. Now you’ll get to wander in the NBA wasteland reserved for the Hawks/Timberwolves of the World...

You can never sell this kid short, when he transferred in from Miami who knew he’d be an All-B1G performer?

The most remarkable thing about that photo is that there are two, yes TWO former Nebraska players wearing & competing in NBA uniforms...

I use to work at the Pickles on 84th & Dodge right next to Arthur’s!

So he’s NOT coming back right?

Easley is yer prototypical “Gym Rat” and has a game reminiscent of, dare I say it, Fred Hoiberg...

WOW didn’t see that one coming... of course in a typical measured response the New York Post claims the Lakers now have their “Big 3” which I guess is a de facto necessity to qualify as a legit contender. If they can get him up to speed great, but at least they didn’t give up 5 #1s to get him...
