Yep, the mutiny foiled, barely. lol Sheesh, they squandered a huge opportunity.

What about Husker FB + BB fans.......

Already have a thread, dimes, @hhcmatt:

And both were in the Omaha bracket of March Madness, so Mr. Omaha is at least familiar with the state of Nebraska.... on some level. lol

ISU had a bunch of dudes who deserved the P.T. I'd say it could be as simple as that....

NEVER! Where are the pitchforks?! lol

I hadn't heard about Gossett Jr. passing. He was a really good actor. Ironically Louis took up acting because of a sports injury.

It's pertinent to the B.S. #55 story, Forbes magazine wrote a recent story and chose to mention that Scheierman was the 1st player from Aurora to play Div. 1 basketball. Well, yeah, but Tom Kropp played in the freakin' NBA, lol. That deserved at least a tiny mention of one of the greatest to ever do it in the STATE OF NEBRASKA from the same little community of Aurora, Nebraska.

Kropp is often considered the #1 athlete to ever play in the state of Nebraska. He was drafted by every professional league there was back in the day. He's a personal friend, and a guy who you can shoot the shit with, totally unpretentious, and thoroughly a killer on the court, even in his 50s with bone-on-bone in his knees. We have an annual Alumni Weekend and he'd dominate that until Father Time took over. That dude could shoot it, recall the "Picket Fence" of Jimmy Chitwood from Hoosiers. Then he was head coach and leader at UNK for 25+ years of his college coaching career, much to little or no fanfare. He kept teaching & leading with great aplomb. He's an amazing basketball savant. Aurora loves Tommy, he's a genuine dude, although he was born in G.I.--lol!!

Dude often controlled the paint in the Omaha bracket against some pretty good post players on ISU... I was impressed!

Yeah, I mentioned that, it's easily the biggest takeaway of a lot of NE dudes going elsewhere that might pause & consider Freddy's proven system more than they ever would have when Hoi-ball was sucking at it early on. B.S. did mention that camaraderie, 'love', and closeness being a key component at CU that hadn't happened as readily at SDSU... that's as important as pure talent, we only need to remember Matty Abdelmassih.... it's not hard to figure how it failed.

Reminiscent of NEEbrasketball in 1996.... also finished the regular portion of the Big 8 regular-and-conf.-tourney at 16-14, then rattled off 5 wins in-a-row, often on the road in hostile environments to snag the National Invitational Tournament championship. Only wished that particular NU team had figured it out in the conference tourney like N.C. St. -- they could have done some special stuff way back when. They had a bunch of ballers on the Husker roster. GBR Always.

It's okay, cip, we don't have to like the decision. I know I didn't -- even told his folks. lol

Can-do, did and done-it.

Nebraska at 20-5 is a legit threat to host regionals. Really need to make-up that K-St. roadie. GBR Always.

Last year it was Elite 8, and a foul away from the Final Four. He acquitted himself pretty well. Aurora's proud of their own. Tom Kropp will remain #1 in my book. Baylor's a close 2nd. Both are NBA ballers in their own right, they both traveled a different path. I wouldn't have chosen Kearney St. (Kropp) or So. Dak. St./CU (Scheierman) but that's their decision to make and live with, ultimately. I'm certainly not sad that CU didn't attain their N.C. goals. I'll go watch B.S. #55 in the pros, he's an elite passer with Jokic-like vision, yet not a seven-footer. It'll be interesting to see which team drafts him, I think he'd help Phoenix, for instance, since they lack a PG.... to each their own, I can't say I'd blame Baylor for pickin' that eastern Omaha squad since Freddy came off of a 7-win, 7-win, and 10-win seasons in succession. Now, it's over and done with at the college level. Maybe the next "B.S." kid will *want* to play in Lincoln, Nebraska, let's hope so after a 16-win and 23-win seasons back-to-back. GBR Always.

Yep, totally true. Nebrasketball definitely got shafted in its draw. If only NU had held on against Illinois once or even twice. The Huskers would have been a celebrated squad in March Madness, if only....

Keep on keepin' on! He is risen, indeed.

Yes, agreed. It worked out for B.S. #55 all right. I wished it had been all RED, but he went with BLUE in college. His (and my) H.S. even chanted "Go Big Red."

Yes, you might have, Normy.

Unquestionably an under-sold understatement of..... The..... Millennium! Sent from my SM-A426U using Tapatalk

If our NU has any aspirations of hosting an NCAA regional, this is a series that the Huskers must sweep. . .

Semi-pro ball, that's what I've called it....
