Sam is a top tier weak side defender. But he does struggle to stay in front of long athletic ball handlers.

Between family and friends, we have Nebraskan houseguests at least 2x per year. I usually ask for them to bring frozen Runzas. And this is probably odd, but the other thing I have them bring is Hy-Vee’s pineapple bratwursts from their butcher counter.

Not joking, Runza in general (and Temperature Tuesday in particular) is one of the things I miss the most after moving out of state.

That’s the type of name I expect to read below a Civil War general’s portrait.

Great pickup. 5* kid who needed a year to put his game together at the B1G level. This is one of those situations where you’re happy to be the player’s second stop rather than the school he chose out of high school. Rutgers got him when he was pure potential. We got him for the year(s) he will be productive.

If you want to cherry pick data, it's easy to find public schools with horrible academic scores. I see your 35-39% math proficiency at Prime Prep, and give you 14% math proficiency at James Earl Rudder High: https://www.publicschoolreview.com/james-earl-rudder-high-school-profile. The point that public school apologists ignore is that choice is important in a free society. We need both a competent public school system for an educated society, and the freedom of choice to select an alternative.

Seems more likely that we'll have a solid 1-7 followed by an 8-12 that you pray never need to enter the game. The guys who could have been that quality depth left. And how many transfers do you know of that are happy to become the 11th man in an 8-man rotation?

Jordi Alba. Pretty sure that red card does not carry over to other leagues/competitions, so he should be available Saturday. Ironically, he is probably more likely to start on Saturday since his red card saved him 15-20 minutes of playing time last night.

I think you can take an elite athlete and teach him how to defend in soccer a lot easier than you can teach an elite athlete how to pitch or hit a baseball. Granted a non-soccer playing athlete isn't going to score any goals against a pro soccer team, but you could park the bus and keep the final score somewhat respectable. Not true for the baseball game, as the baseball players would destroy the non-baseball players.

Looks like Messi went the full 90 last night according to the box score, so he's almost assuredly not starting in KC. Perhaps could come on as a late sub if Miami needs a goal.

She's supposedly a singer, but she has a terrible raspy voice. So...what talents does she actually have?

Les Mis is great but not in my top 5. Wicked and Greatest Showman are also really enjoyable. I'm not a huge fan of Jesus Christ Superstar (it wouldn't crack my Top 3 Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals), and I've actually never seen Hair. Edit: this seems like a really good offseason topic. I may hold off on any further discourse, and post it as an OT thread during the dog days of summer.

It's in my Top 10 movie list, and is a Top 5 musical along with Phantom of the Opera, My Fair Lady, Jekyll and Hyde, and Hamilton.

Brad Davison: Man I wish I could play college ball forever. Too bad it finally had to come to an end. Grant Gibbs: Yeah man, those were the days. Keisei: Hold my sake.

Thanks for another great year of hosting HHCC, @HuskerFever. It’s always a fun part of the basketball season. Well, guess it’s time to update my sig block now!
