  1. That's not all that bad of a tweet, its almost like a punt.
  2. If you're 22 and your username is Polish Rifle, then your parents done good.
  3. lol, nustudent always seems like he is about a bad day away from going postal.
  4. NIMBYs think anything is a bad idea if they hear the word "taxes". Also, it is diminishing but there is still an attitude of many in Lincoln that staying the status quo is good enough and change is bad and uneccesary.
  5. Hahaha that is awesome. Lets hope his game is as big as his talk.
  6. Izzo is quite possibly the smartest man in basketball, if he says there needs to be a change then we should do it and adopt to NBA rules.
  7. Somebody needs to make sure he's working just as hard in the lunch room. I can personally vouch for the De'leons diet, it is very effective.
  8. Papuchis looks like a 7 year old boy who just got the Batman action figure he's been waiting on all year for Christmas morning.
  9. I think on the official visit, they can buy your food and pay for your room, etc. Unofficials are different. Yeah, recruits on officials absolutely get all that paid for.
  10. For those of you that don't live in Lincoln, this is a great feed to see what is going on: http://mail.lcoc.com/ArenaCam.htm
  11. This means very little.It's a shame you feel that way.You mean an unscientific opinionated poll for players of the game by a random guy on a message board should be used to justify a player's starting for the coming season?Look, I think Gallegos will start next season. HHC's Player of the Game totals is about the last reason why I think he will. Nope. A coach's evaluation of his team's contributors and roles should be used for that, and since Coach Miles did not seem to have a problem with the number/quality of shots Gallegos was taking, since he almost never left the floor, I'm guessing it was Coach's call to use him that way. Look forward to more consistent production next year when there are other options. Unfortunately "unscientific and opinionated" are the domain of sports and sports bulletin boards in general. There is no absolute scientific formula to know who was the most important contributor in a given game even with all the analytics in vogue today. Maybe Gallegos scored 20+ points not because he shot the ball or even because of who fed him the ball, but because of how one player set really solid screens in that game that made all the shots have that extra nanosecond to be perfect. Maybe that guy should have been player of the game, but if roles were reversed and Ray set the screens, would anonymous screener have been the MVP? Part of science is observation. HHC staff observed Gallegos as being the top contributor in 11 games. The only way to check it would be to replay those 11 without him and see if anyone else stepped up. Thank you for proving my point with the top paragraph. If Gallegos starts next year it's because Miles feels he's the best we have...not because he won 11 Player of the Game trophys on a message board. Winning 11 POTG awards isn't going to help him in practice when he's competing.It's not unfortunate. It's just the way it is. There's nothing wrong with random guy having opinions on who the player of the game is. That's all it is. An opinion from random people. It's no more valid than if I did one or if Norm did or if CWG did one. And I'm just saying...trying to use those opinions to justify a starting position isn't exactly the best way to go about it. Nobody proved your point, unless you are granting me status above "random guy." My opinion is mine yours is yours. We come together to discuss them. What I like is when folks present their views and reasons so I can understand their perspective rather than add one dismissive line to the commentary, but that's just my opinion.
  12. Well said, that discussion has been beat to death on huskerboard.
  13. That's kinda what I thought. Mixed emotions about Strickland. Loved him as a player. But looking for a job at this level as his first coaching gig is kinda putting the cart before the horse. If Strickland wants to coach, he would prove himself by taking a job at a lower level and working his way up. We know plenty about Strickland as a player. We know very little about what he would do as a coach and we just don't have the luxury of being able to hire someone who has no track record. If Strickland were serious about coaching, he'd be coaching, period. You either embrace it as a career or you don't. Strick should have 10 years of coaching experience under his belt by now if he were truly serious about it. He should have been cutting his teeth at lower-level programs and grinding his way up. Then I'd be interested in giving him a serious look. As it stands now, he doesn't even deserve an interview in my view. This isn't a hobby -- it's a profession. Sure, but then there is Fred Hoiberg. Never coached in his life and turned around the Iowa State program (with a little help from rule bending, I suppose). He did work for the timberwolves previous to that though.
  14. YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Awesome! Wait, why is the First National bank logo on the court located in Pinnacle Bank Arena?
  15. I'm probably in the minority but I say suspend him for the first half of the season. What he did is extremely stupid.
  16. Rule #58 of Internet- there is nothing more annoying than stating on a message board you have inside info and then not release said info.
