  1. NBA games are so scripted and predictable it's ridiculous.

      If its so rigged, scripted and predictable who will the NBA be placing in the finals?

      Just my opinion...Boston and Houston are not nearly as marketable as Cleveland/Golden State round 4.  Houston and Boston will both be ahead at halftime but the Cavs and GS will both squeak out wins.  It will be marketed as whether LBJ is playing his last games in Cleveland and what Klay Thompson will do in the future.  Will the Cavs be fired up and ready to accept the challenge or will GS sweep in 4.

      No kidding.  Every time I turn on an NBA game I know one of the teams is going to beat the other.  The team with the better closers usaully wins.  There will be some questionable calls. I will question what really is traveling. Shaq and Chuck will make me chuckle.  Van Gundy will have a problem with rules and officiating and I will witness a couple feats of athleticism that makes me mouth curse word.  

       

      Still a ten times better product than college bball.  

       

       

  2. Nebraska just beat Purdue again......same score too!  Nailbiter!

  3. Night Court judge Harry Anderson passed away today at age 65.  Lots of good laughs from that show.

      I was so sad to hear this!  He was so young!  I loved that show.  The chemistry between the actors was so good!

      John Laroquette was hilarious as was the actor who played Bull.

      The Michigan coach said he thought his team played well today because they already had a game in the Garden and they were less in awe.

      Think of the money you could've made if you had bet the Lions straight up in all three games and doubled down each time.  

  5. Pissed that one down our leg.

  6. Purdue took out Tennessee in overtime earlier but Texas Tech has held Michigan to 16 first half points.

      Has Rondale ever played against us?  I might be wrong but he has been injured every time right?

      Ron Dale played against us in 2018 in Lincoln. He did not score and wasn't the leading receiver for Purdue. The Boilers won 42-28

      I'm also happy to see Hopkins their TE in the pros.  That guy killed NU the past 2 years.  Zero answer for him.

  8. So these are the best refs the NFL has to offer and they miss that call?  Right!

      That was absolutely horrible and oh so critical. Hate to see an outcome changed that way.

  9. Spencer Davis of the Spencer Davis Group and Tony Lewis, lead singer of The Outfield passed away today. 2020 won't let up.

      I would imagine they had to have done okay from touring since their first couple albums were successful.  At the same time, it seems like they weren't very popular in England so who knows.

      DB and Sharpe were having an interesting debate this morning about whether or not the whole thing was "controversial." DB felt it wasn't because the stewards ultimately made the right call. Sharpe was trying to argue it was controversial because what happened caused people to lose money. (Those are the boiled down versions).

       

      Ultimately, if the stewards made the right call (which I think they did), then to me, that's just sports. Stuff happens.

  11. The last two basketball teams Nebraska played and lost to are both doing very well in their respective tournaments.  Miss St is in the NIT Final Four and Michigan just punched their ticket to the Elite 8.

  12. The Sooners bite the dust again. Iowa St plays well and doesn't roll over. Imagine the angst in Norman tonight. Lincoln Riley running out of Bob Stoops recruits already?

      He just laid out for another catch and took a nasty hit from Noah Pola Gates.  They are both up though and gave each other a man hug

  15. We have an ant invasion this year.  Tiny black ones and also dark red large ones. I have used many of the "ant traps" that they are supposed to carry back to the nest.  They just laugh at it.  Even had the big ones start a nest inside the freezer door of the fridge and start removing the white foam insulation one tiny piece at a time. I would rather not spray every square inch of the property because of grandkids. Any solutions?

      Terro ant bait...stuff is amazing.

    3. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      Terro also makes a shaker bag of granules--walk around the perimeter of the house, shake the bag, and it's an effective ant barrier. Do this on top of whatever spray/concoction you use, and you should be golden.

      It's a conspiracy perpetrated by the big magnifying glass companies.

  16. Whenever I watch these top 10 teams play I feel like my Huskers go into a gun fight with water pistols. The speed of the running backs and wide receivers, the size and quickness of the D lineman is nearly depressing.

      Yep. Some combination of our talent and development consistently blows goats.

       

      I'm pretty sure it's harder to recruit NU than a lot of schools we'd like to be competing with but we've also has pretty crappy results with a lot of the high-caliber recruits we get.


      The silver lining I guess is that most of the best players on the team this year were guys Frost recruited. SO there's that.

    3. TonyStalloni

      TonyStalloni

      After seeing the teams in the BIG 10, none of them beside OSU recruit at an elite level. Penn St and Michigan get solid talent most years.  The rest of the teams recruit to a system and do the best they can with player development. Wisconsin does very well. Iowa most years is 9-3 or 8-4. Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota seem to have turned themselves around and are heading in the right direction.  Mich St, Purdue and NW have taken a step back this year. Rutgers and Maryland have a ways to go with facilities and recruiting.  My hope is Nebraska can climb the ladder and bring in the kids who fit the system and we learn to develop them like Wisconsin. 

       

      On a side note it seems every football announcer who does LSU games has to spill the fact that Joe Burrow wanted to come to Nebraska twice in his career.  It is sad that OC Beck under Pelini was such an a$$ and Frost already had his Qb when Joe decided to transfer.

      I was watching an Oregon game and saw a play we run.  I was thinking wow, that's how it's supposed to look.  The biggest difference was the speed it was executed at.  Our players looks like they are playing in mud.

       

      Wisconsin does a very good job developing players but they also get them to play hard.  They had to play a freshman DB against Minnesota and held his own against Minny's WRs.  He wasn't big and didn't appear to be overly fast.  He just played with a want to attitude.  Sometimes I get the impression that our players aren't willing to make a play out of concern for injury.  That wasn't even on the Wisconsin freshman's mind.

       

       

  17. Wisconsin playing Miami in NYC. So far the Badgers are chewing up the Hurricanes.

      Rosier Jr is one of the worst QBs I have ever seen.  He cant hit the broad side of a barn 2 feet from it.

    • Nouredin Nouili, the transfer O-lineman from Colorado State, says the NCAA has told him he has full eligibility this year. He played at 285 last year and is now up to 320. A welcome addition to the O line.

      This is nice...and EVERYONE is getting eligible this year.

  18.  Ajay Allen had surgery and will be lost for the season. He went home to Louisiana with his mom. I'm thinking he will never be back if he can finish the semester online.

      When I heard the interview on the radio I heard Mickey say "Ajay's mom came and he's back home" which to me said he was back in his home town with mom. It sounds like he is back in his apartment in Lincoln.

  19. .Between Bear Bryant and Nick Saban Alabama hired and fired 8 coaches. Their tenure was 3,2,6,3,2,0,3 and 1 year. It was pretty much a revolving door till Nicky came along.

      Yep.  I hate coaching changes with a passion.  But, Frost was given all the time he needed to turn this around and it just kept getting worse.  We will eventually find the right coach to bring winning back.

      Agree.  Revolving doors are not exactly fun.  I hate that it didn't work out the remainder of the year for Former HCSF.  I am thrilled for Mickey. 

  20. 'm curious to see how many penalties Texas gets called for in their game vs Missouri....which is played in Texas (Houston).  I've seen a hold that didn't get called (on Texas) but all three Mo penalties were legit.

      Mo had their chances but give Texas some credit.  They came to play at least as well as they are capable.  The Texas punter did his job.

      I’m just jealous. I can’t stand Texas. Lol

  21. Nebraska Womens Associate Basketball Coach Chuck Love has been suspended with pay. Also Ashley Scroggins, one of the leading scorers and best three point shooter on the team, has been suspended and her name no longer appears on the official roster. The university is saying there will be no other comment so details may be hard to get. This will be a big blow to the womens basketball team's hopes for success in future games.

      I don't want to draw conclusions, but it's not difficult in this scenario. I sincerely hope this doesn't derail the really good season the Women's team is having. 

  22. An elusive Qb and using the tight ends effectively are hurting OSU.

  23. Bill Walton is insufferable. I'm guessing he aligns well with ESPN.

      So he committed to a group of coaches incapable of winning anything and then decommitted when we brought in the hottest coaching staff in the country, fresh off a 12-0 season and a Coach of the Year award. I get that recruiting is based in personal relationships, but it seems odd that some of these kids aren’t more interested in COMPETING, WINNING, AND CHAMPIONSHIPS.

      You are going to move away from your family for the first time in your life.  As a kid that's a big deal.  To now have everything you know about the place get blown up makes you reconsider - we can say "it's the school not the coaches that you commit to" but that is bunk.  When staff leaves that throws not only the recruit but his family into turmoil.  Mom and dad approved of the guys that spent the last two years visiting and calling.  Now they're gone, but these other guys who have been calling and visiting for 2+ years (A&M coach, though at different school) are still around - our record wasn't great, but the previous staff did a good job getting recruits and their families to buy into being a part of the change.  Kid's now going far away to be with people that he's never gotten to know (who he's maybe never spoken to).  To say these kids that change their minds aren't interested in competing and winning is just ignorant.  They (and they're families) are doing what is best and most comfortable for them.
