  1. The “Ladies Nights” on Wednesdays were EPIC, had a Navy Pilot buddy of mine in there one night, a guy says to him, “I think yer an A**hole” my friend says, “take a number, the line starts back there”...
  2. Since there’s no bigger Kool-Aid drinkers than Husker fans, it’s fitting that it originated in Hastings...
  3. I appreciate your optimism, but we haven’t had a “Blackshirt” defense since Suh graduated, our best offensive player is @ TCU, & Martinez hasn’t proven to be anything but inconsistent.
  4. White Team: Thor, Kobe, Derrick, Shamiel, Oudrago...?
  5. Can’t wait to see Kaylyn Meyer make her Cornhusker debut...!
  6. My point is Nebraska Football once carried itself like Nebraska Volleyball...
  7. Looking at that schedule & the fact we return exactly ZERO All-Conference players, 2-7, 3-6 could easily happen. Scott would never be one to bring up the schedule, but we all remember when he said at that first B1G Media Day, “if you’re gonna get us you better get us now.” Bottom line, until we get some NFL talent in that Blackshirt front 7, it’s all conversation...
  8. Funny, I never hear John Cook complain about the schedule...
  9. Would LOVE to see some old Big 8 rivals if we can swing it, skeptical if they allow any fans, but I'll gladly show up in 320 if they let me...
  10. Just saw on 10/11 the Men’s/Women’s season will start on November 25th. Details I’m sure to come...
  11. Both Men/Women’s Basketball to begin on November 25th...
  12. To quote David St. Hubbins of Spinal Tap fame: “That’s nit picking isn’t it”?
  13. Good for Jervay, Stoudamire & that 2000 Trailblazer team were arguably the greatest team to NEVER play for an NBA Title.
  14. I’ve gotta hunch Teddy’s gonna come in here & make a BIG splash ala’ Petteway/Palmer. Here’s hoping for some B1G Hoops come January...!
  15. I’d like to share a story concerning MLK & systemic racism. I lived across the street from a “Cop Bar” in Mpls for 10 years. I walked in there the morning of MLK Day, must have been 2012/13 & one Cop said to the other “If we just would’ve shot four more of ‘em, we’d have the whole week off”...
  16. It’s easy to forget Olson went to FIVE Final Fours, cutting down the nets with Loren Woods & Arizona in ‘01....
  17. The first few Pink Panther movies never disappoint...
  18. The only Bowl game I’ve ever been to was the ‘95 Orange Bowl (the last played AT the Orange Bowl) when we handed Ray Lewis & Warren Sapp their Asses in the 4th quarter. Went to the players Hotel after the game where Tomich/Wistrom we’re behind the bar serving Martinis ...
  19. I’ve been a LeBron hater & lifelong Laker fan so the script is flipped for me. AD provides me some comfort since he’ll be around long after James retires. I’m hoping for a Laker/Bucks Final with lots of Kareem interviews...
  20. I thought he was coming here & the appeal of being “the MAN” @ his home State U, taking them where they’d never been before would be too tempting to pass up. (Especially with Freddie’s Run n Gun) Now, I’ll have to hope we’re in the Sweet Sixteen while he’s sitting in Lawrence with KU on probation...
  21. Is it TOO soon to start "bad mouthing" Sallis & claiming he wasn't that good in the first place, or should I wait until he's cutting down the nets with Kentucky...?
  22. If you haven’t seen the Documentary “Hoop Dreams” I highly recommend it. Speaks to a LOT of these same issues & is fascinating story as well. Deals with Chicago’s Catholic/Public leagues & two young men’s rise & fall...
  23. He’ll never be as famous as Prairie View’s most celebrated alum: Mr. T
  24. My main point was whether Northwestern plays football or not, it will have ZERO impact on the city of Chicago. Conversely, Husker football NOT playing will have a devastating effect on Lincoln, that & Scott’s desire to have his players “backs” I think was why he was so adamant about seeing this through.
  25. I’m sure most of us have heard Michael Wlibon’s rant about Nebraska, & while most of it is true he needs to be reminded of a few things. First of all, Northwestern Football is an economic *blip* on the Chicago landscape, & the sun doesn’t rise/set with the Wildcats or the Illini. The financial loss to Lincoln will be devastating. Secondly, the Big 8 was the BEST Conference in Football during the 70’s-80’s-90’s while the Big 10 was largely irrelevant...We’re obviously not going anywhere, but it does get REAL old to be constantly reminded that it’s still Michigan & Ohio St’s Conference.
