Why would being a fan of both Creighton and Iowa be worse? Is there some deep-seeded animosity between the Hawkeyes and Jays that I'm unaware of? No one is saying you can't cheer for multiple universities. But you probably crossed the line if those two schools play each other annually in multiple sports, and you have 100% sold your soul if those two teams are rivals. Cheer for Iowa, or UCLA, or Sister Mary's School for the Blind. None of those are a conflict with your Creighton affiliation. But don't be surprised when people get annoyed with you for supporting both Nebraska and Creighton.

Would you wear a Red Sox hat with a Yankee jersey while walking in the Bronx? Rationalizing your Jayskerness doesn't change anything. You're still a Jaysker. Pick a side of the rivalry and loathe the other, like us civilized folk.

My hatred of Creighton has waned a little bit now that I no longer live in Omaha and have moved out of state. I still get fired up for this game, but not as much since I don't have to listen to Jay and Jaysker fans chirp about their team incessantly. I want to win this game for the fans like you that are still living in enemy territory. You deserve a dub, my man. P.S. Grant Gibbs was a thug, and I am bothered by you putting him in the clean cut category. Wearing an accountant's hair cut doesn't change that fact.

I had really hoped they would keep Johnny around on a league minimum, similar to what they did with Roger last year. And Walter is a salty box-to-box mid who always seemed to play well even though he was never going to be the best player on a good team. I think for the right price both of those guys would have been nice to keep around. Everyone else though? The writing was on the wall.

With SKC's season ending early I paid more attention to the start of the European leagues this year. I've kept tabs on AC Milan, Juventus, Celtic, and PSV since they all have multiple USMNT guys on their rosters. It's nice to see guys not just making European rosters, but being major contributors for Champions League sides. Celtic in particular is a blast to watch. High press, high energy, and (other than CB and keeper) a bunch of 5 foot nothin' dudes running around causing chaos. I've officially adopted them as my winter season soccer team. Which, given the less-than-inspiring start to the Nebrasketball season, may be needed. Also, how about Union Omaha! Viva Los Buhos!

1 through 18 in the conference are only separated by 62 spots. Truly, any team can win any night in conference play. December can't come soon enough, it's gonna be fun!

Are you saying we are going to to forfeit our season and finish in 0th Place?

Huskers 85 Who? 65 9 non-conference wins 19 Total wins And I'll take it a couple steps further. We win one more in the B1G Tourney and get our first win in the Dance.

This is gonna be Brice's team. He will be the guy with the ball in his hands when the shot clock is winding down. That plus shots taken during the flow of play is why I think he leads in both of the volume categories. Connor will have the highest percentage though.

Funny enough, I actually really liked Collier. He used to bring Valentino's pizzas to the Red Zone an hour before tip off, to thank those of us who got there early enough to razz the opponents during warm ups. And in the rare event that a student would get thrown out for crossing the line with a ref, Barry would remember that student and come say 'thank you' to him before the next game. I know Barry came across as aloof, but in my interactions with him he was very personable. That being said, he sure stunk it up in the W's and L's department.
