  1. Wonder if he’ll show up at the game?
  2. It will forever be 55-40 in my heart
  3. Was wondering if they would piggyback with the women, I guess that answers that question. Hopefully we get a CBS camera and a reaction shot.
  4. 1st Half Nebraska 58% FG 38% 3FG Illinois 35% FG 29% 3FG 2nd Half Nebraska 36% FG 18% 3FG Illinois 59% FG 55% 3FG
  5. B1G officiating is just plain awful. Unless you are Edey (who can't get touched, but can manhandle people), there is just no consistency. Edey would maul people on rebounds and not get called, but as soon and someone bumps him a tiny bit while he is shooting there would be a whistle. It was just laughable. And this is a big reason why Purdue won't make it to the Sweet 16 - they won't get the favorable B1G reffing next week. In the Nebraska/Illinois game, it was impossible to figure out what a foul was on a shooter. Guys would get knocked over, no whistle. Then the next time down the court there would be some ticky-tack call on a drive. There was also a time when the ref blew the whistle on us before Shannon shot the ball, and still gave him an And-1.
  6. I'll take the blame for the loss. When we were up 15 and Illinois called the TO, while standing and cheering I thought to myself "I am going to get to watch Nebrasketball play for a conference tourney championship tomorrow. In person! How unbelievable is that?". And that is when the game turned. But on the plus side I saved a couple hundred $$$ and don't have to be around a bunch of Wisconsin fans tomorrow. So that's a small win.
  7. Tickets secured. Let's get another one today boys!
  8. A&M beat Kentucky yesterday to get them off the bubble and probably out of the play-in game...
  9. If it is bad enough to get him canned here, wouldn't it be bad enough for A&M to not hire him (or fire him when the full details come out)? You would think that A&M would have done their due diligence on it (especially since they are paying us $4M to hire him). He's an expendable outsider there.
  10. Had an Indiana douchebag sitting next to us last night. Single seat. Would stand and yell loudly for every basket and after every foul call, and yell at Nebraska fans for (rightly) getting on the refs for missing out of bounds calls. He didn't come back after halftime. Much better watching experience in the 2nd half. Also, speaking of douchebags, the Ohio St Big Nut guy sat right behind us (you know who he is, always shown on TV at football games). In the OSU/Illinois game he and his buddy just constantly yelled/complained about the refs. Never gave any credit to Illinois, everything was the refs fault. Between games and at halftimes he would ask people to take selfies with him (their camera, not his) and tell them to post them to social media and tag him.
  11. Stupid Wisconsin winning has kept the resale ticket value high since 1/4 of the Twin Cities is from Wisconsin.
  12. Heading down to Target Center in a bit. I'll be the guy wearing red on the bottom left corner of your TV screen.
  13. Welcome to Texas A&M Trev! Your first duty as AD is dealing with a defensive analyst who killed his girlfriend and unborn child. https://footballscoop.com/news/blaise-taylor-arrested-on-first-degree-murder-charge Blaise Taylor, was arrested Thursday night in Utah on a grand jury indictment with two charges of first-degree murder. Taylor, 27, was wanted for allegedly poisoning his girlfriend, Jade Benning, and her unborn child. Nashville Police state Benning and her unborn child died as a result of the poisoning. The son of longtime FBS running backs coach Trooper Taylor, Blaise Taylor had agreed to join Texas A&M staff earlier this month.
  14. Yup. Would have loved to see 2 or 3 OTs. Or 6 OTs like the Cuse/UConn game 10+ years ago.
  15. In the long run this won't matter to the athletes as they play the game. But it is funny that the baseball team gave up 4 runs in the 1st inning on Wednesday. Glad this news broke Wednesday and not Friday for the basketball team's sake. They don't need a distraction like this throwing off their gameday preperation.
  16. The committee always seems to have a sense of humor with 1 or 2 1st round games each year, so I am going to call it now: 7 Nebraska vs 10 Texas A&M
  17. Much rather play Penn St. I know we beat Indiana twice by 15, but they still scare me. Raneau and Ware are players.
  18. Someone needs to take Trev's phone
