  1. Kawhi Leonard also a possibility...
  2. Lakers were the 4th seed in the West when LeBron went down on Christmas day. Unless they make some significant upgrades (Davis, Leonard, Irving) I find it REAL hard to believe they’ll dramatically improve. I still wish Lue would’ve got the job, but now it looks Jason Kidd is the de facto “boss”...
  3. Well a 13-5 B1G record got us a road NIT game two years ago, and 17 wins sent us dancing in ‘86. Obviously once we see these guys in the gym, up & down in some REAL games our opinions could/will change dramatically either way. Those fluffy non-con wins won’t help much, but I don’t think the Conference will be overly daunting either...
  4. Do I see an Incarnate Word, Samford, or Gardner Webb on this schedule, no. I’m a firm believer those days are behind us. Other than MAYBE G Tech or one of those games in the Caymans, this has hot knife/butter written all over it. I’m putting the early over/under for Ws at 20....
  5. In the latest WTF moment, Golden St’s GM is now being blamed for Durant’s achilles injury. If yer down 3-1 & KD says he’s good to go, you play him. That’s a complete no brainer. Did his latest injury happen because he was overcompensating for the calf? More than likely, but that’s a chance you take, and THAT’S sports...
  6. Will any of these games be available via a streaming service? I can’t imagine any local broadcasts will send over a crew (not unless Scott Frost is going) but hopefully we’ll get beat writers from the OWH/LJS to keep us apprised...
  7. There’s nothing I enjoy ? more about this board (seriously) than “Bubble talk” on June 13th...
  8. Well if that does happen, you might see a half full CHI arena since “Everyone’s” favorite football team will be in Indy!
  9. I have NO doubt Fred & Co. will kick off the training wheels after year one & we’ll see some home/home with other P5 squads, hopefully some old Big 8 brethren. Now who’s got an early scouting report on that Doane squad...?
  10. Heady times my friends... couldn’t be more thrilled with the way this roster has come together. Now it’s time to “Coach em Up” & I think we’ve got just the Coach(es) to do it. I’ll go WAY out on a limb here, we might not be in the top 25 by Christmas ? but we’ll finish higher than 13th in Conference.
  11. WOW ? I wouldn’t have believed that if I hadn’t seen it ... back to Oakland!
  12. My bad, he’s the only one WE’VE ever had since joining the Conference correct? The TV deal he swung, along with the creation of the BTN were master strokes of business acumen...
  13. If Toronto wins the title, you’d think Kawhi would be MORE likely to stay than go to L.A. or anywhere else for that matter. I’ve also heard the Lakers might package the 4th pick with player(s) X to get Anthony Davis. We’ll see what Kurt Rambis’s wife or LeBron’s barber has to say...
  14. Couldn’t agree more, plus let’s not forget we snuck in Ohio’s “Mr Basketball” under the wire & I believe Chuck Easley is going to be more than just a bit player.
  15. I can name the starting front court from the ‘78 squad without a google machine... & I know LeBron took a 35 win team to 37. Yes they have a myriad of problems right now, but bringing in James & the “Circus” that follows has turned out as badly as I had feared. Anyway here’s hoping Toronto closes out Golden St. Monday night!
  16. Wishful Lakers fans want LeBron to retire or get hit by a bus, sign Kawhi, Anthony Davis and go from there...
  17. With Klay & KD supposedly out the door, this could be the beginning of the end for the Warrior dynasty. I didn’t think Toronto would get past the Bucks, I also didn’t think Leonard would dominate to the degree he has. Will see, not over yet & I have to believe Durant will try to make a go of it in game #5...
  18. If you haven’t been you’re missing some highly entertaining and high drama brand of ball. It’s also reinforced the reality that a legit Post presence & playing defense hasn’t become obsolete. Draymond Green’s big mouth can’t stop Ibaka down low & as much fun as it is to jack up 3’s, there ain’t no “D” in Splash Brothers...
  19. When you said two boobs I thought you were talking about the guys in the Bulls jerseys...
  20. I can’t believe this isn’t getting more ink. The ONLY commissioner the B1G has ever had is being replaced by some Viking’s front office yahoo I’ve never even heard of. I hope he’s up to the task, that Kirk Cousins contract gives me pause...
  21. I hope within 3-5 years we’re done with the middle of the road/bottom feeders. It might take a B1G Title or two...
  22. I hated playing Intramural games at Mabel Lee. Too small & we couldn’t accommodate all the “Little Sisters” that came to cheer us on. Men’s P. E. was great, ( we stole the sign when it was torn down) but nothing matched the Colosium where the “real” Huskers had played!
  23. I’m betting Akol Redshirts, but I expect he’ll be part of the mix moving forward.
  24. I’d take that 5 over the Golden Gophers & lay the points...
