I’m assuming our game with perennial Tournament also-rans Creighton will be in Lincoln next year. I believe they’re up TWO in the All-time series, time to make our move & put em in the rearview mirror for good...

Today's Sweet Sixteen Matchups...
Handy Johnson replied to jimmykc's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
I can remember Rolando Blackmon on the cover of SI in those sweet lavender K-State Jerseys when they knocked off #1 Oregon St. & Coach Ralph Miller... -
Cornfed - Inbred - Go Big Red...!

If we don’t finish at LEAST.500 I’m selling off all my Creighton “Big East Champs” swag...

Who's our point guard next year?
Handy Johnson replied to Coaches kid's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
What about Bryce? -
Well, it looks like Hunter will be taking his talents as far way from Omaha and Nebraska as possible. Let's hope his new team gives another dose of disappointment to all the faithful "On the Hill"
-
Would you play for Coach Hoiberg's Huskers?
Handy Johnson replied to basketballjones's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
The "Revolving Door" nature of this program is concerning right now. We all know why (each season was problematic/unique) in it's own way. But we need to establish an identity you can hang her hat on and then build from there. I know what Fred has in mind, and next season should be more of HIS guys, but 14 -45 speaks for itself... -
And, in this same vein, if Hunter Sallis puts on that Creighton hat tomorrow morning, it will be like a death in the family (not really, but close)
-
Yeah, as long as WE beat em every year. I never said I wanted to see them get the Brass Ring in the Dance! Context my friend
-
ALL true, their epic fails (on a different scale) haunt their fan base as well as ours do. I can at least take solace in the fact they only have ONE more measly Sweet Sixteen appearance then we do...!
-
I can't stomach the thought of that team "up the road" knocking off the undefeated, number one seed & then hearing about it ENDLESSLY into perpetuity...
-
Gonzaga’s reputation as being “soft” not playing in a REAL Conference & being wildly overrated are all well earned in my opinion. But, that ALL goes out the window this week & I’m happy to say I hope they beat their next opponent handily & advance to the Elite Eight...!
-
So the B1G WASN’T the greatest Conference ever this year...? (I’ll still go with the ‘88 Big 8 FWIW)
-
Very true, but there’s no Glenn Robinson, Calbert Cheney or Chris Webber etc in this league. Garza’s a nice player but I don’t expect him to make a big splash at the next level...
-
Agreed, it was laughable when commentators would say, “This is the Best B1G Conference EVER” when the lack of top flight NBA talent was obvious.
-
True, you can never have too many “good” players, I guess in the limited time I saw him I wasn’t overly impressed.
-
I hate to sound like a "Debbie Downer" but when we bring in 4 new scholarship players plus what's already in the Hopper, (plus Thor?) he's going to be buried on the bench.
-
My buddy worked for them in the 80’s & said the Box was by far & away the most expensive item for them to cover. The pizza was 13 cents & they could give the Pop away.

Banana Slugs, Come out and Play-yay
Handy Johnson replied to jimmykc's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
Brings to mind when the Ogallala Indians snapped Wahoo’s 114 game winning streak ...! -
Certainly a “win” for the Huskers, I still believe Thor will come back, AND will land another PG transfer...!
-
Brings to mind the T.O. Show when Switzer showed up with a bag of Tacos for Tom since we were headed to the Sun Bowl in El Paso & OU alas back to the Orange Bowl...
-
Don’t quote me out of context, I’m just trying to pump up our RPI & make Nebraska a “Basketball” State since Football has went so far South...
-
Would love to see him end up @ UNO, hometown boy makes good right? Plus the success of ALL 3 of our D1 programs is beneficial to the others. Id' love to see Creighton win the Big East every year, as long as we're beating them by 15-20...!
-
Good luck young man, may the road rise with you...

It Was Thirty Years Ago Today
Handy Johnson replied to Dead Dog Alley's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
One of my best friends tutored some of the players that year, so I had the lowdown on that squad. More than overconfidence I think they “spit the bit” when they got under the bright lights on the BIG stage...
