I hope he ends up driving a Shwann’s Truck…
-
Finishing .500 would mean no more losses to the Cal Riverside’s & Western Illinois of the World, all without your Top Two returning scorers. I’d love to get onboard, but I’ve got a sick feeling that “Rock Bottom” thread might hit a low colder than a well diggers a**…
-
How much do you think Kyle Korver or Rodney Buford would go for these days…???
-
Perfect, I was going to let ALL you closeted Bluebird fans know I’ve got a Kevin McKenna Lakers jersey for sale if you’re interested…
-
Ask ANY Creighton fan if this is the NBA career they envisioned for Dougie Buckets and see what they say…
-
It’s all context, has he had a career that you’d equate with the BEST player in College Basketball? He’s a journeyman & that’s fine, but he’s hasn’t been the Super Star that he & the Bluejay faithful assumed he would be.
-
Any bum can make money in the NBA *see* Doug McDermott, has he had a POY impactful career the likes of a College Super Star? Forget Dirk Nowitzki or Larry Bird, he’s not even in the conversation with Laettner or Grayson Allen. What’s his most memorable Playoff performance? Do you see kids up & down the street with his jersey on…??? The fact someone asked if he’s still in the League proves my point.

I hope he has the same shi**y NBA career as Doug McDermott…

NIL…one new issue that will occur.
Handy Johnson replied to bkamler's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
I'd like to speak specifically to #4: Let's say I'm 'Joe-Bag-of-Donuts" Walk On from York Nebraska & I'm busting my ass every day in practice, meanwhile in the locker beside me is Million Dollar NIL guy who half-asses it through practice, has a NEW ride out front & his own Radio Show. I'm not naive, every locker room has it's own pecking order based on talent, future earnings etc. But I find it REALLY hard to believe this is conducive for a Team First mentality or a certain level of Espirit De Corp. We aren't going back, I get that too, I'm just worried the Sport we know & love will be changed in ways we have yet to imagine.... -

Handy Johnson replied to bkamler's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
I remember when Murray Warmath drove the Golden Gophers down to play the Big Red in a couple of old school buses in ‘71. He said he knew Minnesota was in trouble when they pulled into the parking lot & saw all the Huskers kissing their cheerleader girlfriends goodbye before hopping into their new Red sports cars… -
Did NIL render Matt Abdelmassih superfluous?
Handy Johnson replied to Norm Peterson's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
Whoever takes over for Matt A. or if his responsibilities are diveed up, we’re heading into uncharted waters. When K-State guy headed to Miami for 800,000 dollars had a teammate say, unless I get a million dollars I’M walking, I’m not sure if there’s an established protocol or strategy for that. You don’t get a little pregnant, this is the reason the NCAA wants nothing to do with overseeing the NIL phenomenon. -
Is he a spokesman for Jerry Leonard or the House of Large Sizes…???
-
I did see young Jace Piatkowski is on his way out the door. Good for him, go somewhere where you can play…
-
They’ve hosted the B1G Baseball Tournament & obviously NCAA Regionals, Swim Trials etc. I just think it would be a nice gesture from the Conference & Omaha could certainly handle it…
-
It would be nice to see Omaha throw their hat in the ring for the Men’s Tournament…Husker Basketball in Mpls will always make me think of Xavier & that horrible Metrodome.
-
I had to “Boof” a bottle of Gin after that one…
-
I thought throwing NIL money at prospects would level the playing field, guess not…
-
Pointing out the obvious here, but getting a kid from Aurora might actually make some of those Season Ticket holders actually GO to a game…
-
Let’s get him, didn’t he have something like 9 Touchdown passes in one game his Senior year…?
-
There’s a nice article in today’s LJS about former Husker Lineman Yoshi Hardrick & the enduring impact of a College Education. Not just how much it means to him personally, but the ripple effect it’s had throughout generations of his family…(feel free to post it)
-
Here’s a lineup I’d like to see our opponents have to adjust to for a change: Greisel Gary Walker Keita Briendenbach
-
That’s a gross exaggeration, but I get your point. What I’m tired of is all the BIG talk followed up by nothing. Who will ever forget Frost’s initial Presser when he told the B1G, you better “Get Us Now” while you can…
-
Saying a player is known for their Defensive/Driving ability & “energy” is a polite way of saying they can’t shoot…
-
Those numbers speak for themselves Norm & most of us regulars are worn down to a nubbin. Fred’s first 3 years remind me of that old Smith Barney commercial with John Houseman, “We get our 20 loss seasons the old fashioned way, we “EARN” them”…

Happy Easter , drove in “white out” conditions from Worthington until Sioux City. Hope everyone had a nice Holiday!
