I graduated in ‘91 from UNL and my gift from the Basketball team was not only the best season in Husker history, but a 40 point beat down of Creighton...

I HATED that design at the Devaney with all of the red & the top half of the key was a Basketball. It made us look like some rinky dink bush-league outfit. I appreciate keeping the outlined State tho with the star...

Who's your favorite Nebraska State High School athlete of the Year? Tom Osborne/Hastings, Gerry Gdowski/Fremont, or Matt Davison/Techumseh? Keep in mind there are no right or wrong answers...

The Timberwolves fans have wanted Hoiberg for YEARS, the Gopher fans want ANYBODY not named Richard Pitino...

Tanner has been super solid, & Allen too, BUT, I’m intrigued by the BIG line-up with Brady and the Core Four. They would compensate for his shortcomings and he would provide more blocks and rebounds. I’m hoping his minutes will increase as the season unfolds and also agree the PT he does get will benefit us long term more than a Redshirt.

Just please don’t refinish it like the eyesore that is Williams arena. They’ve taken one of my All-time favorite gyms and gave it a “white out” treatment that should sadden every Gopher from Willie Burton to Dave Winfield. Just wait til you see it Wednesday.

I was on a Husker football board (briefly) this season that was SO pollayanna-ish I had to leave. If every post wasn’t an “atta boy” or a Scott Frost a** kiss you were summarily shouted down.

They have a couple nice neutral court wins, and had NC State at home. I don’t think we’ll sweep em again this year but I’d be surprised if they finish higher than us.

Iowa & Wisconsin are GIANT frauds... (spare me the Ethan Happ rants)

I’m happy to say I don’t know what that “other” board is, but judging from that sample size it looks like they’d have a hard time speaking knowledgeably about Greg Downing or Jerry Shoecraft. As far as Creighton goes, why would we discontinue a series we “owned” until their recent run? We’ll be at worst 11-2 rolling into the meat of the Conference schedule.

The “extension” Moos gave Miles tells you all you need to know about his feelings towards the Basketball program.

So yer sayin’ there’s a chance...

I would think Watson will have little trouble taking GK out the game, and Copeland (Roby)? will probably man-up on Murphy. Should be a good test but I'll be REALLY surprised if we don't win.

Gabe Kalschuer won 3 State titles at DeLasalle high in the Twin Cities & has had a couple 19+ point games as a Frosh. He disappeared last night. Are real concerns tho are Amir Coffey & Murphy. Even on the road I think we win by double digits.

Kalscheur had 0 points tonight & Murphy only had 7, doubtful if those numbers hold at the Barn. This is certainly a winnable game tho cuz our defense travels.

Cornhuskers 80-66

Like I posted on the other thread, a rather uninspired, workmanlike performance, but this game was NEVER in doubt. Take the W and it’s on to MN then you-know-who.

A Ho-hum, lunch pail type performance... and we still won by 15. Gird yer loins boys, this is gonna be a fun ride.

I met Andre once, that was one BIG man.

Well Creighton “let it fly” alright, kinda like when you throw s**t in a fan. They won’t get so many open looks from 3 next Sat. night in Lincoln & Watson’s gonna be on Alexander like a freckle.

Superior was 62nd out of 64 class B schools when I played and Aurora was always a bully. Loved that gym though...

I can remember when Jamel White was going to be the next Joe McCray...

Speaking of camera angles, back in the old Big 8 those straight up & down shots from Gallagher/Iba arena were almost seizure inducing...

I always remember that hard man-to-man defense and how many text book pure shooters he had over the years, Ted Kitchell, Randy Wittman, Steve Alford etc.

Don’t forget the sexual assault that got Lynch off the team & decimated their frontline. But hey, that’s life in Dinkytown. High hopes & disappointment are a way of life.
