Dean Smith

Ready to play for the next game and it sounds like Trevor Lakes might be as well and still have a year left for next year.

You think this move compares most to— Petteway, JPJ, or Teddy?

None of the above.

Making threes would also help alleviate the problem of us getting called for so many charges. Opposing teams aren’t afraid to help off of anyone except Lat right now. 

And never seeing those two refs together again would also help alleviate the problem of us getting called for so many charges.

I, however, am thrilled he ignored Thor. 

In general I would think if we really want to play with pace, kicking the ball up is a much faster way to play than dribbling it up. They have to be open of course, but I have seen lots of times multiple ball handlers had that option and preferred to dribble to advance the ball.

"We're missing a Copeland, Roby, Maric (kinda "true" 4's and 5's)"

 

Could you imagine if Roby was on this team!

Roby was one of my all-time favorite Huskers but I actually think Copeland would bring more of what this current team needs.

It’s difficult to pass when you rarely touch the ball.

I do remember one play when Thor was up the floor wide open and had his hands out in the “throw me the ball” position” and Trey dibbles the ball all the way up ignoring him on the kick ahead and took the ball all the way to the basket and made that hard right hand on the left side layup. When he shot the ball Thor’s hands were still up telling me he was not thrilled with being ignored

Hi Robin!  

 

 

He didn't mention BBB Printing. If you have seen their shirts you would know that's the kind of thing that would be right up their alley. My son is a proud owner of one of their "Jayskers Suck" shirts and you got to like this one:

I've watched three of his press conferences now. He's got to be one of the most likeable Husker players in recent memory. Very positive, humble and well-spoken. 

He already has one of the all time great basketball quotes. “When the ball movement is lovely everybody is happy.” That sounds like something that should end up on a Triple B t-shirt.

I recall last season when I predicted we’d score @ least 100 points on 7 occasions (little did I know we’d win SEVEN games) but this squad might stir the echos of some classic Nee/Tubbs shootouts...

It was Tubbs his first year at OU that said they were going to run and shoot and he hoped by year 2 they could run and make a few. That hopefully will describe Fred’s year 2 as well.

They're picking Nebraska out in Nevada.

Lol I wonder what that means for the 10 teams of the big 12. 

They're overcompensating for something.

Watching Iowa. Just the first couple of minutes. They will be hard to guard but their defense doesn't look like it's improved much. Giving up wide open looks and lay-ups to NC Central. 

I read they may still add other teams but the Nebraska, Nevada, & NDS schedules are locked in regardless.

Okay Mr. Old School, maybe we should be wearing these. 

 

 

These might be my favorites

Well it was a good idea to begin with. Would it look bad if we left Nevada and Chadren State to play a double-header and We joined the tournament in South Dakota?

Looks like Trey switched from nbr 2 to nbr 8.    Jace Piatkowski must of moved on.  That red/white wall line gives you a great background for comparing heights among players vs what's listed on the roster.   

Wrinkles - that’s still a 2.

Remember Paul Westhead at Loyola Marymount? To me he was the innovative coach that lead to the way the game is played today.

And he went to that extreme pace because the Lakers fired him because he didn’t let them run enough. “I’ll show you running.”

I was only referencing the pledge he made his followers sign in the early sixties.  Nothing more, nothing less.  Thanks for not disappointing me with your response.

I note a touch of sarcasm. You said people should actually be taught history and my response was that many times what is taught as history is truncated and therefore misleading. MLK, like all of us was a complicated person. Though never forsaking non-violence, he became much more radical, marginalized by the mainstream civil rights movement, and hated by white America by the time of his death.  When we leave out inconvenient truths and teach only great man history the common person feels there is nothing they can do to affect change because they aren’t “great.”  We can all be great, we are all flawed, we can all be part of affecting the change that we as individuals want in the world.
 

I have a gut feeling we probably have different views of what we want the future world to look like, but we should both be provided the opportunity and allowed the use of the tools that our system is supposed to guarantee all of us, to try to create the future we want.
 

I admit that’s a very hopeful, optimistic view of what we can be as human beings and a nation. It should be an easy target for your sarcasm.

It would have been impressive had they read out loud and asked people of all color to follow the principals of Martin Luther King.  Maybe too much to ask that people actually are taught American history today....

The proper way to celebrate the legacy of a man is to truly know it. MLK was far from the Hallmark greeting card he has been turned into.  He also said “the riot is the language of the unheard,” was a social-democrat long before Bernie, felt we should have a universal basic income, called for the end of the Vietnam war and condemned the American government, calling it “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today,” decried the “two America’s” and was voted the most hated man in America all while sleeping with a lot a Black women who were not his wife. He was human like the rest of us. Great and flawed. People don’t need to agree with everything he believes but if we study “real” history we should know who the real man was.

I do not know the ins and outs of NCAA or conference rules so what would stop Nebraska from a televised scrimmage vs itself?  Vs Nebraska Wesleyan? 

The statement above says that they're in on the B1G 10 which is absolutely the right short term and probably long term move. What is allowable in that framework?

 

That's my question. College football is allowed to schedule their out of conference games. If we don't join another conference or take part in another conferences' championship game then aren't we still just scheduling out of conference games only maybe a few more than usual?

We are well on the way to no fall football. 

One open scholarship now. Anybody know if Figueroa signed anywhere yet?

I don’t know if anyone ever mentioned it but he was only 17 when he played this season so it is very possible he did grow.
