  1. Plus he had that sweet Dorothy Hamill hairdo, AND let's not forget Henry T. Buchanan!
  2. Ask the Golden Gophers...
  3. Drevo, Conklin, Ray Richardson
  4. Over time I think Breidenbach will prove to be not only the stand out in this crop, but potentially All-Conference caliber. He plays smart & savvy, can shoot from distance, & just wait until he puts on his "man muscles"...
  5. I may be misrembering but didn’t one of their players MURDER another one & their Coach (Art Briles?) told them to clam up about it...?
  6. AND just in time for the start of Football season your Coach is under NCAA Investigation for having "illegal" practices (hello Mabel Lee) and hiring Advisors that are not allowed. On the surface it seems minor, but as it plays out and the potential losses pile up, things could get dicey for Wood River's native son...
  7. I can still remember when he knocked down the game winner vs USC...!
  8. Cecil’s across the street was awesome too...
  9. My old hangout in North Minneapolis is called Cliff n Norm’s. You by a $12 T-shirt making you an official “Board Member” & you can drink 2 for 1s 10am-10pm every single day...
  10. Nice try Rothstein, but the “Legion of Doom” was the Philadelphia Flyers of the Eric Lindross, Jon LeClaire era...but we WILL drop the boom on the Blue-Jays this year!
  11. A fourth straight losing season will get Frost another year regardless of what it looks like. A FIFTH losing season (next year) will deservedly get him out the door. I certainly didn't expect some type of UCF turnaround/replication, but conversely, I NEVER thought I'd live in a World where Goldy the Gopher would beat us "badly" 3 outta 4 years...
  12. In 1989 Kirby Puckett became the 1st Baseball player to get paid 3 million dollars a year. Now, Doug F’ing McDermott gets paid 42 million by the San Antonio Spurs (for 3 years) No wonder everyone is trying to get into the NBA...
  13. Dare I say it, could we go into the season “overrated”...?
  14. I might have to bust out my T-Mac Adidas tomorrow... !
  15. We beat Oklahoma IN Norman, & they went to the Dance instead of us, & Eduardo Najara DID play in the NBA with Dallas I believe. That was another super good Nebraska team screwed by the Basketball Gods or East/West Coast bias....
  16. If you’ve been in the players lounge, the NBA jerseys displayed are Lue’s Hawks jersey (not Lakers) & Pike’s Bulls jersey (not Clippers) it would’ve been cool to have Strickland’s Vancouver jersey instead of Dallas & Mikki has about what 10 to pick from, & I can’t recall if any of his are displayed.
  17. When was the last time NU had TWO players in the NBA? Top of my head I’m guessing when Lue & Mikki Moore were both still active. Now that we’ve established a “Pipeline” (not like the ‘94 Football team) to the Pros the dividends can’t be overstated. It’s one thing to dangle that carrot, but it takes us to a WHOLE other level when Fred can deliver...
  18. You could probably win a few bets with that info down @ Barrett’s Barley Corn...
  19. Just curious, since Nebraska doesn’t have a Men’s Soccer team do you root for Creighton...?
  20. I assumed someone would bring this up, shocking doesn’t begin to cover it...
  21. Correct, Wooldridge dropped 50 on Hastings in the ‘92 Class A Final won by the Benson Bunnies...
  22. That’s certainly a well thought out format, but whenever I think of SEC Football, I think of Peyton Manning being benched in the ‘98 Orange Bowl & Osborne’s pregame quote: “we’re gonna smack em like they’ve never been smacked before”...
  23. Very true, people like to pile on, but the power of the “N” is still REAL...
  24. They discussed ALL this at length this morning on the Dan Patrick show, then started to question what happens with programs in that next group Miami, Florida St, Washington. When they finally got around to mentioning Dear Old Nebraska U, one of the Dannettes chimed in with genuine befuddlement: “what happened to Nebraska”...?
  25. I saw him play in person @ the State Tournament & thought he had “greatness” thrust upon him...
