I've been wondering, if in fact Pitino gets the axe, and we have yet another staff opening, does Coach Miles try to get Ben Johnson to come back???

I'd recommend putting up your arms because we're probably going to hit the part where the camera on the rides snaps your picture. I'm hoping that the Illinois game is the last few "click click click" on the up side before the bottom drops out on us in East Lansing.

I think coach Miles looked a bit under the weather too, they kept cutting to him on the TV and he looked like he was kind of in pain and wiping his brow and stuff.

We'll be favored by Vegas to go 1-5 during that stretch. Illinos might be a wounded animal, but they're a wounded animal that just beat Purdue by 14 at home. RPI Forecast has us going 1-5 with the best chance at getting the second win @Illinois. They have us as 1.2 point dogs and 46% chance of winning there. Next best chances for wins are at home vs. Michigan and Maryland. 33% chance of winning those games. So, expect 1-5. Hope for 3-3.

Is this young team graduating from EKG to Roller Coaster status? We'll see...

This qualifies as a Nebraska kid, right?

This sounds like a classic G&S clickbait topic It sounds like a common HHC theme also, just sayin'.

Also, a big milestone is being reached today: Way to go Shavon!!!

...and for our guests from Minnesota, here's my all time favorite Prince song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCImnqOez6E

WE MUST FIGHT THE VOLLEYBALL CLAP IT IS EVIL AND DOES NOT BELONG IN PINNACLE BANK ARENA!!!!

KNTK - Drop The Mike: Nebrasketball gets their first Big Ten win in dominating fashion at Rutgers. Is Huskers Hoops turning it around? http://www.theticketfm.com/podcasts/dropthemike/2016_01_11_4.mp3 (24:30) Why do so many people want to minimize the accomplishment? Do we need to do a better job of defining “progress” with Husker hoops? Who is having a worse Monday, Bengals or Vikings fans?

I heard this song for the first time yesterday. I really liked it, hope you do too....

Game thread at Gopherhole in case you're bored: http://www.forums.gopherhole.com/boards/showthread.php?66653-***OFFICIAL-MINNESOTA-AT-NEBRASKA-IN-GAME-THREAD*** I found this quote interesting: The confidence has been shaken. The effort less than ideal. It's time to get away from the grumbles of the home crowd and ignite the grumbles of the home crowd at an equally frustrated Nebraska program. Tim Miles is more beloved here than he is his own program though oddly KFAN doesn't pimp him like they did pre-Molinari.

Also, I watched the 30 for 30 about Benji Wilson last night (and for those who haven't seen it, I highly recommend it). I kept thinking about Isaiah and just how similar the two seem. Check out the trailer:

Yep, folks are gonna have to get in line I think. "Nebraska has something new," says Roby. "They had a new coach. Coach Miles when he started recruiting me he had just won coach of the year in the Big Ten and they had the best home record in the Big Ten and a brand new arena just built that year. A brand new practice facility, and they had made the tournament that year. It’s a really cool place to be right now." Keep preachin' young Isaiah!!!

I know, I just mostly wanted to type sonofabitch. And now I got to do it twice this afternoon.

Looks like the corner could be salvaged, would require a couple of years' work to get the guts put back together, though. Probably worth the time, effort & funds to do so. Devastating fire but it appears to be a situation that can and likely will be recovered from with much determination & dollars too! If I won the powerball I'd make sure funds wouldn't be an issue in restoring the building.

I dunno, but this fan Of Ray Williams sonofabitch stole my formatting for their KenPom thread!!! http://www.forums.gopherhole.com/boards/showthread.php?65394-2016-Pomeroy-College-Basketball-Ratings-(-65-Minnesota)
