  1. Who had the BETTER haircut Gene Keady or Lou Henson @ Illinois…?
  2. That’s EXACTLY what I’m taking about. They were similar to the ‘96 Kentucky team of Ron Mercer, Antoine Walker, Walter McCarty etc where everyone is between 6’6” & 6’ 9” & interchangeable on the floor. These are the types of teams that are the most dangerous & hardest to defend.
  3. I know this might be a novel idea, but it’s possible to have Size, Speed, AND Athleticism. Guard play is obviously the great equalizer, but it doesn’t have to be an either/or situation. There’s numerous examples but I’m thinking like ‘96 Kentucky, ‘89 Illinois or even ‘91 Nebraska.
  4. In a cruel twist of fate, the B1G IS slow & unathletic.
  5. They lead the All-time series by only TWO now, & they’ll be coming to Lincoln for their A** Whuppin next year…!!!
  6. While our SEVEN Tournament appearances towers over Northwestern’s puny 2, I’ve got a feeling we’ll be surpassing their Win total as well. And it should happen under Fred’s direction, if there’s a Program that deserves more unexpected Karma then the Huskers, I don’t know who it is… Why can’t WE be Texas Tech or Butler???
  7. Since Fred DOUBLED his entire B1G Win Total in 1 season, the Skies the Limit. Especially if that Portal is as “Kind” as I’m led to believe…
  8. I’m still convinced Cowboy Bill Moos had his mind made up about getting rid of Tim & putting his own “Stamp” on the Program before he ever got on Campus.
  9. Who knows where that Thumbs been…
  10. I’m pretty sure Andre Smith was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers but didn’t play. Maybe someone else has some more info.
  11. So you’re saying there’s a CHANCE…
  12. I’ve heard the Chucky rumors since Alumni Weekend, the others not so much. But I didn’t think we’d ever be worse in Football than Basketball either…
  13. If you guessed Minnesota would be your FIRST 16th Place Team in B1G History, you be right…
  14. Speaking of getting on the Bandwagon early, & based on the hopeful assumption Keisa returns, is it safe to say the Starting 5 game one will be: Tominaga Lawrence Gary TBA TBA
  15. Curtis was like a young David Thompson, absolutely sick. Saw him throw one down on Barry Stevens vs Iowa St in ‘84…!!!
  16. I don’t think Denim could pull off those Baseline Jerry Shoecraft/Greg Dowing Alley Oops…!!!
  17. And Kenny Walton’s
  18. *Bonus* points for the Hank Iba “Name Drop”
  19. Speaking of Mpls & Louisville, there used to be a Great 70’s Cover band up there called “Hookers n Blow”
  20. Word on the Street is Henley is headed to Louisville along with former Gopher Commit Dennis Evans.
  21. Bring it On KenPom, in true Husker fashion, I’ve only just begun to FIGHT…!
  22. True, but I spent years in the Big 8 thinking we’d get “Hot” as a 7-8 Seed & Win the WHOLE thing…
  23. Seems like everyone in Mpls was more than happy to remind me Wednesday night we lost to one of the WORST teams in Gopher history. Played us tough twice, neutral court, blah blah blah When you let a Bad Team hang around & hang around we know what can happen, because it’s often times US hoping to be that Team…
