Im Just showing up...where will it be announced?

10 am Central

I'm sticking with my Who's Next prediction of him being .

But I'd be lying if I said it didn't cross my mind when it was reported that you could hear them talking about Nebraska in the filming-the-BR-video Periscope (or whatever it was): "That would be a little odd to be giving away hints like that." And it seems really odd for McQuitty - who is close to him - to be tossing out Tweets like that on the eve of his commitment. The possibly deleting them after he thought about not giving it away early.

Anyway, hoping it's all much ado about nothing and we're all really excited in the morning.

Not sure if it's a new offer but long-time LSU commit and five-star DT Tyler Shelvin of Lafayette, Louisiana is looking to visit.

Says Northwestern is his leader after visiting last week.

Mentioned Oklahoma and Nebraska (spring game) for possible upcoming visits.

Committed to Northwestern

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yale would more than likely beat Nebraska. A lot of senior leadership on that team.

 

To be fair, most of the teams in the Top 250 would be pretty likely to beat Nebraska.

 

 

This is silly -

 

Either you are saying that we fall somewhere around 126-150 in the country which would mean that MOST (about half ) should beat NU or you are saying that teams around 200/250 would be likely to beat us (which is not happening)

 

 

We were 6-17 against the Top 250 this year. So we had about a 26% chance of beating the Top 250 teams that we played. Meaning we were pretty likely to get beat.

 

Nice job spinning your words around to say something different....

 

 

Not really. You can speculate about what we might have done against the teams that we didn't play. Or you can look at what actually happened against the teams that we did play.

 

According to KenPom.com, we were #100. So we were slightly above the range that you gave that you would consider accurate for my statement.

 

But we also lost to Samford who is #224 (so we're actually 6-18 - I was assuming they were lower) so I don't know how you can say with much certainty that would would have beaten anyone in the Top 250. Last year we lost to Incarnate Word who was #228.

 

 

Anybody can speculate all they want, however that would just be a guess and that's all you can do if we don't schedule 249 games to play everybody else in the top 250.

 

You can pick an outlier to prove your point, however I could reply back with us beating a 2 seed that many picked to win the tournament. I would be making the same mistake that you did by finding 1 outlier that doesn't tell the whole season.

 

But you are right I can not 100% guarantee that we would have beaten xyz team in the top 250 unless we play them. You could also say the same on the opposite side about the 30 NBA teams - I think we are both smart enough to know that we wouldn't do well.

 

 

I didn't pick any outliers to prove my point. I noted our record against EVERY TOP 250 TEAM WE PLAYED THIS YEAR.

 

Now, you're assuming if we played some of the other teams we would win. That's possible. But that's pure speculation on your part since we proved we could lost to the #224 team in the country................

 

............. and beat a top 10 team in the country.

 

 

Yes. So did Middle Tennessee State.

 

But we're talking about what is "likely" to happen.

 

So we beat a top 10 team and lost to a low level team at the 225 range. Again these are outliers - every team has them every season. You choose to think it is "likely" to loss because you are more on the negative side and I choose to think it is "likely" to win because i'm more on the positive side.

 

But either way you keep basing your statement on one game out of a 30+ game season.

 

What part of 6-18 is basing it on one game?

In a March 21 study published by the journal Nature Photonics, the researchers reveal a crystalline material that is four times more sensitive to X-rays than leading commercial detectors. Known as methylammonium lead tribromide, the material can detect an X-ray dose about 11 times lower than that required for many medical applications.

X-rays have become a staple of medical diagnoses since their discovery in 1895, helping detect fractures in bones and reveal tumors in tissue. The rise of global terrorism has also increased their use for security purposes, particularly in the transportation industry.

Yet X-rays also represent a form of radiation that can damage tissue and raise the lifetime risk of developing cancer, which increases with the dose and number of exposures. That risk rises further among those exposed to X-rays at a young age, according to the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering.

UNL engineer Jinsong Huang and colleagues recently began exploring methylammonium lead tribromide as a candidate for limiting this exposure. The material belongs to a family of compounds known as perovskites that Huang has studied since 2013 in his efforts to improve the performance of solar cells and photodetectors.

"If you look at the history of X-ray detectors, the materials used for them are usually also good for photovoltaic devices," said Huang, a Susan J. Rosowski associate professor of mechanical and materials engineering. "This material is almost perfect for X-ray applications."

The material's X-ray sensitivity stems in part from its large atomic weight, or the number of protons residing in each of its atoms. These heavier atoms are able to absorb more of the high-energy photon particles that constitute X-rays, making their parent material sensitive to smaller doses of the radiation.

Certain detectors take advantage of the fact that X-ray photons possess enough energy to knock loose atom-orbiting electrons, which have a negative charge and leave positively charged "holes" in their wake. When electrodes are placed at either end of a semiconducting material such as methylammonium lead tribromide, the holes and electrons migrate in opposite directions to produce pulses of electric current that are ultimately translated into digital images.

The sower is front and center on Nebraska's new license plates.

Unveiled Tuesday, the design for the new plates is the first ever to feature the iconic statue from atop the state Capitol — an image that is "absolutely unique" to Nebraska, Gov. Pete Ricketts said during a news conference at the statehouse.

Beginning in January, some 5.2 million of the plates will begin to replace the meadowlark-and-goldenrod models bolted to cars and trucks across the state since 2011. Those old plates should be phased out within a year.

Ricketts called the new design "beautiful."

"This brings in a lot of the themes of Nebraska and is a great way for us to brand our state," he said.

The Sower is flanked by the years 1867 and 2017 in navy blue, a nod to the state's sesquicentennial. And "NEBRASKA" is printed in gold-colored lettering across the top over a navy background, mirroring the colors on the state flag.

License plate numbers will appear in black, making them easier for law enforcement to read, Ricketts said.

Notre Dame is rolling...

Sorry ... been a crazy couple weeks. I'll try to get caught up on these soon.
