NU 70, Iowa 77 (will try the reverse jinx again-it worked against Creighton)

Looking back at our preseason predictions, I counted only 14 people (and I was not one, nor was KenPom) picked 7 wins. I will wait for the season to play out but get the feeling the usual red koolaid was a bit weak this year.

And he is the one player on this team I would like to see at the free throw line with the game on the line.

A final word in a long article for those who are interested. His uncle is considering having his family screened for Marfan's syndrome which has an association with aortic aneurysms. How Grant Wahl Changed the Place of Soccer in America | The New Yorker

Huskers 70, (Not the Kansas City)Royals 62

After reading this thread, I am glad I don't know how to stream. A good night to be unable to get to a radio as well. Now, bring on those Queens boys.

I wonder if he had been a football player of equivalent skills and history if he might have passed muster with the medics? We'll never know without access to his medical records, but it might have been one of those situations where a second or third opinion should have been considered. If the player was willing to take the risk and sign the proper paperwork to absolve the university of lawsuits if health problems recurred, I'm not sure why he was turned down here. He certainly does not appear to be physically impaired.

Since we are now officially a bubble team, do they still have the play-in games for the NCAA this year? And are they still in Dayton?

You may proceed directly to your safe room immediately.

I'll send a copy of my letter to them and ESPN-if I can just locate some carbon paper.

I refuse to stream. I'll just have to send a letter of protest to channel 10/11. But first I'll have to find out where to get a new ribbon for my typewriter.

I hope somebody locally decides to pick it up in that case. It isn't listed by 10/11 yet.

Just wondering if the Kansas State game will be televised Saturday. I can't seem to find it anywhere.

NU 64, KSU 62

I haven't been this optimistic about a team which has just lost two consecutive games since the Nee era. Hopefully we will be able to regroup and not lay an egg against the Wildcats, which will basically be a home game for them.

Grant Wahl was an original [Video] (aol.com) Apparently, he had some death threats about wearing a rainbow shirt there. His wife, who is a medical doctor, wants a full autopsy and toxicology done in the U.S.

Noted sports journalist, soccer aficionado, and the nephew of my old college roomie has passed away at age 48 while covering the World Cup in Qatar. My condolences to the family, especially my old pledge brother who also lost his wife last year.

I think "honyok" is pretty interchangeable with "pissant" or "pekkerwood" in old fart's lingo. I think it is one step below a "jackwagon", but you'll have to check with Kent to be sure on that.

No matter how smart the computers may be, they cannot factor in sickness and injury. I hope Sam recovers by the weekend.

As the snail riding on the turtle's back said, "WHEE!!!"

Had to use up the old football jerseys first.
