  1. 'Wat' PatMc.... dat you?
  2. I was really looking forward to NU-KSt. Too bad that Bolt doesn't tend to re-schedule, that's the one worth doing tbh.
  3. They didn't hire the JACKWAGON.... so, yeah, net positive.
  4. Probably wasted... .they are New Jersey, after all.
  5. I think the tweet already said 'where'...
  6. The fun of a 6th super-duper SR year was short-lived. So long, #30. See you at the '24 Olympic Games.
  7. I have the Japanese writing on mine. I'd love to wear it a full season, tbh.
  8. That's where I'm at. I loved that kid. If he could somehow find a loophole to continue hoopin', you know that statue won't build itself....
  9. Fair enough. I don't know how much longer the Cook fam et al will be around, that's what I was referring to. I wasn't trying to diminish their roles as much as wondering who will be the next leaders to step up in the Husker Kingdom, and I suspect it will be a much younger crowd who might want the vision that Trev had laid out for S. Stadium... just ruminations I've had, that's all... appreciate the clarity on the current state of affairs with the Peeds et al. I should have been more clear on why I brought up the 'old blue-hairs'.
  10. Same, a bitter pill for Jo, too. His final competition, he was fierce out there on the court. Loved everything he brought to this team, wish it'd been 2 years, tbh. That Jackwagon had him for 1 in N.M.
  11. Always good to knock down Kenny P. And, yes, Fever does a mighty fine job each year. The recap at the end is the best to see how the history stacks up, dimes is lapping the field in top tens. I'm up to 4, with an 11th place finish back in Freddy's 1st yr. still holding me back from that top 4-or-5 in the league all-time. Oh well, still a fun journey. I'd be interesting in learning the HOF: all-time top 20's @HuskerFever.
  12. I seem to do better when NU does better, I have a hard time pickin' against NU. Finished 6th, had been top 3 but my heart took me down 3 notches, it is what it is. GBR Always.
  13. It's fun to talk about a return of KT30, but I highly doubt that it happens. In fact, NU needs to assume he's not there... and somehow find a way to make room if he suddenly becomes a 6th super-duper senior. I wouldn't hate it, but I ain't losin' sleep over it occurring. Man, what a concept: Language as an obstacle. It's not the worst argument, especially at a remote JUCO with Billy 'Clyde' Gillespie as his coach, who should elicit empathy from the wonks for the kid already.... dare to dream. lol
  14. Finding one's identity is certainly a take. Building off one's success is another take. Honing the team around the best of the best we just saw in Memphis seems more than prudent. No one's saying that NU will completely change the paradigm. A slight adjustment needs to be made, that's why I say that Juwan is likely replaceable more than BRICE or RIENK. NU needs a dude or two who can unequivocally get a bucket at the rim, often that wasn't Juwan. Allick tried to be a dude, but a few times he just seemed to fall slightly short of that task. Not due to effort or anything inherently wrong. Elite athleticism can be coupled with elite shot-making and elite passing. They're not mutually exclusive. I think Fred & Co. will find a way to make the team better and more athletic at certain spots. Obviously Keisei was a unique guy, so maybe NU needs a 6'-5" shooter who doesn't have to take such difficult shots because the taller, more athletic dude can just rise up & shoot it.
  15. Now, that is easier said than done, but Fred's 29-14 in his past season+9 gm. I think the proof will be in the puddin'! I hope there's a B1G plan to achieve greatness. Anything less will be uncivilized.
  16. Who won't like it.... old blue-hairs probably aren't setting the tone of how the new regime will operate, I'm just spitballin' here... maybe they still have some pull, but I doubt it.
  17. Seeing Ward Taylor IV shoot 5 for 26 in their 2nd game, and yet the Ags still went to OT vs #1 Houston was even more impressive, tbh.
  18. Colorado has a dude from NE, can't recall (or spell) his name at this hr. He seemed to have some game in March Madness.
  19. The odds are in his favor, it's going to be a Perkins-Ulis-Brice trifecta at the lead guard....
  20. He'd be a great fit in our system.
  21. Picking up garbage........ that's my best guess.
