  1. Brings to mind a headline from the early 80's when we squared off against UMKC, "Kangaroos can't stop Hoppen".
  2. Where is a Derrick Chandler/Kimani Ffriend when you need one?
  3. This is absolutely THE worst time of the year. Everyone is excited about March Madness and we won't play a game for 8 months. Husker baseball and football don't sustain me the way they use to, and our tournament record is still locked in at a solid 0 -7.
  4. The sky's the limit with this kid, LOVE his game...
  5. Reminds me of a quote from "the Outlaw Josey Wales" , "To the Victor goes the Spoils".
  6. I've heard him heap praise on the crowd and the atmosphere at the Bank, claiming it's as good as any in College basketball. Indeed
  7. The day Danny Manning dribbled off his foot in '88
  8. We beat Wisconsin tonight
  9. Jacobsen plays like a TE recruit around the bucket, he needs to polish those low post moves in the off season. He's too talented to miss as many easy shots as he does...
  10. Speaking of "worst teams in BIG history" the match-up with the Gophers last weekend was, record wise, THE worst game ever played in Conference, 2 - 15 vs. 0 -17 and Goldy took it on the chin to the tune of a 20 point loss. We'll roll in this one, then it's bring on Bucky!
  11. The year the Big Red break through (and we will) it won't be some flukey deal where we win one game in the Dance and then get bounced out. No my friends, it will be a sweet 16 run or better and we will be the darlings of the National media, ( and no I haven't been in the cough syrup this morning ).
  12. I have all the faith in the world that Miles will find a starting Center for next season and the line-up will look as you described.
  13. If you would have told me last fall we'd finish in 11th place I flat out wouldn't have believed it. I think we will make a BIG jump next year, right?
  14. I would've taken Melo on the 1st team over Yogi. I always thought he was highly overrated and got extra props because of his goofy name.
  15. Another yearly reminder that Cub fans have NOTHING on Husker Basketball fans.
  16. While it appears to be a favorable bracket, we could just as easily smoke Rutgers and then get beat by Wisconsin. Season over
  17. I'm from Superior but have lived here in the Twin Cities for 20 years. The latest in this downward spiral at the U 0f M involves former Gopher great Richard Coffey and his prize recruit of a son Amir. Seems the old man isn't too thrilled with the endless shananigans over in Dinky town and now Amir might be looking elsewhere. We would certainly take him, top 100 by ESPN.
  18. We need to win this one to get on a roll for our B1G Tournament run... as of last night we had a Rutgers then OSU match-up which I think is very favorable. P.S. I deleted my Avatar in hopes of importing a new one, but every photo I try is either too big (ha ha) or the wrong format. Any sugestions?
  19. The Big Ten Network fudged that one up.......Miles got his arse handed to him by Iowa last year at the PBA. That's what I get for listening to those B1G yahoos, and HOW could I have forgotten the A** whuppin' Iowa put on us...
  20. Shatel has always been a suck up to all things Omaha. This piece should surprise no one...
  21. Unfortunately here is another sobering stat. The largest margin of defeat in PBA history happened to fall on Senior night. I realize this is a tired rant, but the article Lee B. wrote last week about the lack of size on this roster was spot on. While Miles has improved the overall talent level, the lack of a big man is glaring.Like the old saying goes, you can't teach height.
