I didn't know gulls were known for their strength.

That place better be empty today.

I'm not in a wheelchair so I can't speak for those who are, but my general impression of those who are is that they wouldn't be offended. They realize you're not talking about them. Most people don't have as thin of skin as the PC crowd expects them to have. And those who are mobility-impaired realize that the sign would lose a good deal of its impact if it had to read "Nobody who is physically able to stand Sits Today!!!" This is good Norm. I really like all of this "no sit Sunday" stuff. But there are reasonableness things that I hope people understand. My 84 year old mother is going to be at the game and she can't stand up for the whole game. She sits in row one - so no worries that anyone will be standing in front of her (except courtside seats which I will address). I assume no one is going to criticize 80 year old people for sitting down and watching as long as they are not telling others to sit down. I will say that if anyone has courtside seats they need to ignore this "mandate". One of the earlier games there were a couple people standing in those seats and because of the proximity of the seats to the court they really block the view for everyone in the first few rows - even if those people are standing up. So elderly, disabled and courtside ticket holders all need to be "exempted" from the "no sit" rule. 13 posts into a topic about putting banners up outside of and to the entrance of the arena and we have three "exemptions" to the content of those posters. Make me think two things: 1) no wonder our government has become so bogged down, they've had 238 years of this kind of shit, and 2) those banners are gonna have to be the size of that dumb ice rink to get all the rules and regulations on them. A little common sense by both the standers and sitters would go a long way.

Maybe he's just heading to the next Husker athletic event? He isn't just the basketball and football AD, he has a lot of places to be.

Can be tinkered with here for the curious. http://www.rpiforecast.com/wizard/Nebraska.html Can't say I haven't looked at where we'd be if that tip against Michigan was good.

I'd be cool with Walter keeping his outside shooting up and that's how we win. He's been hitting at a pretty high percentage lately by my eyes.

Let's take a look at a few of Lunardi's "last four in" and you tell me which resume is better.... 1. Team 1 Record: 18-10(8-7) RPI: 62 SOS: 55 Top 50 RPI: 2-5 2. Team 2 Record: 15-11(7-7) RPI: 60 SOS: 16 Top 50 RPI: 2-6 3. Team 3 Record: 16-10(8-6) RPI: 48 SOS: 26 Top 50 RPI: 3-7 I agree I'd give us the nod over those teams but Lunardi has repeatedly said his projections are based on how he sees the rest of the season playing out and I am sure that would be his reasoning if you asked him. Aren't we that third team?

I saw it! Very nice!

I think the history of let downs is gone. Not saying we won't lose one this week, Penn State and Purdue are certainly capable. But the way Miles talks about only knowing the last year and a half of Husker basketball, even after a win at Michigan State, it's clear to me he isn't letting this team be held back by the history of Husker basketball before them. If we lose one of the games this week, it won't be because the guys on the team think Nebraska is destined to be a below average team.

GBR!!!

I posted a thread over there about how I thought this was drivel. Didn't want to post it here and link to it though since he gets paid by hits. The fact that Huskermax put that on the front page was puzzling to me as they rarely link anything about the football program that has a tone of negativity to it, then they let one of their own writers put this there about the basketball program.

Switch Self and Boeheim and you'd have my lists.

I imagine a lot of things. Never this though, until now.

Bo? Is that you?

It came across as more than an inference by Benning if what he said Biggs told him was accurate I can barely connect all these dots, but let me try. Biggs told Benning something. If what Benning was told by Biggs was accurate, it led to Benning making an inference. To you, this inference by Benning came across as more than an inference? Well shit, I hate this Eichorst guy now too.

If we finish 8-8 in conference next year, what will happens to the other two games?

For all the Creighton fans that think UNL and the Nebraska university system drags down the education in the state, I can say for certain, UNL's law school tops Creighton's, UNMC is more selective than Creighton and often students who don't get into UNMC end up at Creighton in the next term, and Creighton's only has 4 Ph.D. programs. I would bet within 5 years their med school is completely run by Alegent Health (the process has already begun) with no ties to the university and they'll lose the best thing they have going for them.

I believe that Rosenthal tweeted an official estimate of 7,500. Official estimate. Now that's funny.

The old Pippen's with "AIR" just huge on the outside.

If this is the case or something similar, they should make the "N" on the side bigger just because.

Can I wait to see the full schedule before trying to guess how many wins will mean what?

Don't forget this guy who was born in Nebraska. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover_Cleveland_Alexander

Is he talking about verbal commitments? I wonder what was on his mind when he wrote this article?

I just checked rivals top 100 for 2013, and the top 26 were 5 stars, top 27 were on 247. So he's basically saying Tai would be a 5 star or almost a 5 star. Awesome!
