The oxidation that comes into contact could result in a reaction emitted by certain substances that produces a black colored film; a product that is finalized as tarnished. Tarnished. But we should look away and pretend like nothing ever happendt. So that nothing ever happendt.

Very true and feel the same. Jeckyll & Hyde with home vs away games. My confidence of winning a game in a tourney away from home is low. Still possible though so I roll with that a little bit. Now if there was some way to get the basketball team to "like playing against road games"

Actually I was having a counter-argument to your counter-argument to Mav's thoughts and opinions Anyway it's all good and fun sports talk & opinions, and nothing to be taken too seriously. I really do love the high scoring games, the deep shots and the incredible athletes that play the game.

Like I said before, Stone is a bad mamaJama.... Caron and Carey hitting well too.... I like the bats,,, and the starting pitching has been pretty good. It's not as if the Bullpen has been entering games because of shaky starting pitching. The bullpen been coming in during games being down a few runs late in games, because we go through droughts at the plate. However, the big key hits during the late innings has been remarkable so far.

You who have little doubt. Every 1st half too, lol.... 18-1 home record - that's hot

The NBA referees recieve their paychecks from the National Basketball Association (led by Adam Silver and formerly by David Stern for ever). They have a collective agreement. The key words are "paid by the NBA" and "agreement". But by all means, keep talking about peach baskets and the invention of basketball back in the early 1900's as if that's the argument to have. I'm talking about the NBA and the officials having an agreement in place, and that they let standard basic NBA basketball rules slide-by for NBA players. Including the stars. And you are talking about players wearing Chuck Taylor's and the days before the the 3-point shot. You may call me a conspiracy theorist in the true form - "A person who believes that some secret but influential organization is responsible for an event or phenomenon". That org is the NBA. They are responsible for the refs, the star treatment, the entertainment, the fans, and making billions of money hand over fist. The official rules be damned. This is a business product. I mean, even Michael Jordan was smart enough to get on the good side of David Stern right away when he entered the NBA League and become his good friend his entire career. He knew what time it was. The NBA takes star NBA players and creates superstars. That's a quote by David Stern in the mid-1980's. Businesses look the other way for profits. That's how the NBA runs it league, and the officials are part of it.

On 2/28/2024 at 1:03 PM, Mavric said: As I've said for years, the NBA is not basketball. It's a business meant to resemble the game of basketball. They want entertainment value and that's one way they get it. Yes you do. You know exactly what he means. But you don't want to take it at face value. My take is WYSIWYG... perhaps....however.....sometimes.....not exactly. The concept went from a national basketball association to becoming basketball entertainment. It's a United States product and something being produced. It affects the rules, the officiating, and this type of entertainment CREATES superstars that get away with so much bulls#!t on the court....... There is a real reason why Euros get so confused playing in the NBA and during games. In Europe you have basketball rules and you follow those rules. It's called being professionals. The NBA/Entertainment ..................it decides if there is a foul, who can get fouled or not, who can travel, carry the ball, palm the ball, set a pick, called for charging or a block, get the "and 1" touch foul, get called for a technical - but definitely not multiple technical fouls if the first one is in the first half....because NBA creates superstars and protects them. Jokic, Giannis, Doncic, and Curry. Those are the only true superstars of the league. Lebron used to be years ago. But the NBA and officials will keep putting Embiid and Durrant and Harden on the free throw line. Keep helping them out, when they are struggling. Because they are creating superstars out of just star players.

Huskers are pretty much a lock for March Madness tournament. But this is concerning stat Huskers at Home - 17-1 Huskers on the Road - 2-8 (one neutral game) It's not easy for anyone to win on the road, but at least 3-7 would be more digestible.

Alright, rough night for the Huskers at Ohio State. Pretty hard to win when the home team gets only 4 fouls per half, and a ton of free throws, but whatever. Let's move on. Huskers still in a good spot moving forward. OSU won the boards, had less fouls, and got more free points "free-throws". Not exactly surprised but honestly that is surprising. Fouls- Huskers 21 against them Ohio State 9 against them Free Throws- Huskers 7-8 Ohio State 24-28 Assists- Huskers 16 Ohio State 13 Rebounds- Huskers 33 Ohio State 44 Steals - Huskers had the advantage 7-2 3pt shots- Huskers made 2 more than Ohio State It really came down to foul calls and putting a team at the free throw line, plus rebounds.

Dammit. My eyes were like windshield wipers once I settled in on that. Left Right, Left Right, .... squirt.... Left Right, Left Right

If people say that it's because people are being honest. Of course I will tune in with excitement to a certain level, depending on the matchups. Not all post season games or playoff games are equally exciting on paper before kickoff. I'm all for changes and like being progressive with sports. But why did it take so long? If you can do these changes today, you could have done them 25 years ago. Just like NIL and transfer portal. So, I don't get enthused to see the news being "Breaking!" and it doesn't move the needle. They just really slow catching up or they are finding a lot of money in it all. A lot of money. Loads of money. Boat Loads. It's One or the other.

That Damn Grand Canyon got baseball and hoops. Props to Phoenix and a school never heard of before 2015 or so. Football is next, bet.

We all know it's about money, TV ads, Execs getting paid. Who cares anymore.

2.5 point underdog says it's pretty much a pick'em. But this is only due to the difficulty of winning games on the road in the Big Ten. I love this line and the confidence in Nebraska basketball. Last 4 games for Nebraska - Won - beat Michigan by 20 Won - beat Penn State by 19 Won - beat Indian by 15 (on the road) Won - beat Minnesota by 18 Last 4 games for Ohio State (Big Ten record 6-11) Loss - Lost to Wisconsin by 8 ...(coaching change - a Red Flag during season)... Won - beat Purdue by 4 Loss - Lost to Minnesota by 9 (on the road) Won - beat Michigan State by 3 (on the road) I like the Huskers in this game especially as the 2.5pt dog.... we are talking about a few Free Throws..... a bucket here or a bucket there. I also love how Nebraska is gearing up for post season play and March Madness. Just another reason to believe in the Huskers.

Over the last 20+ years the game changed from NBA to National Basketball Entertainment and loads of money. And the highly paid officials/Referees must adhere to the commissioners demands. It's mafia entertainment with some basketball. If you know, you know.

First impressions on the year. 4-3 record over 8 or 9 days or so. Starting pitching is going well for the most part. There are some bats in the lineup. Middle relief needs some work to do. Early season errors are going to happen at the beginning of the season. Caron is seeing pitches like it's batting practice and he's grooving the ball all over the field. All hitters love that feeling. Stone.... That's my guy. I think big fella is one of those hitters that can just hit a ball hard. His swing sends balls into the gap, or off of fences. Or else he might just blast one out of the park. He is one of those rare power hitters that a seeing-eye single was not for intent, but dammit, the way it comes off the bat - you weren't ready for it, and it's a base hit single the other way. I have known guys like that. Just can't wait to see Stone get hot and into a grove. On the road + On the road vs good teams. Unfortunately the Huskers don't get the luxury to play the first 10 games at home as if they were at home in warmer weather like Louisiana, Texas, California, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, etc. I always feel like that is a mental advantage (home to start the year) and disadvantage (away games to start the year). You can easily get hot playing at home for a few weeks, and settling into roles at home.......than you could opening up on the road. Huskers - stop starting the year off against teams ranked in the top 50. All you are doing is setting it up for a lot of strikeouts (both teams I must say) and we've seen it before. It just doesn't matter other than delaying the start of the year! I don't care what some nerds are going to say to challenge this thought by using measuring stats for strength of schedule bulls#!t, but I think the Huskers need to schedule the weakest part of the schedule at the beginning of the year. Go get your pitching right first. Go get your bats swinging. Go get your mid-relief pitching set up and your depth and role players ready. Go beat the weakest teams possible. Build up your team's confidence. Get the big ball batters jacking out doubles and homers. Win some games 23-4 and 17-2......Get out to a 10-0 start. And then sprinkle in the tougher opponents. When late April gets here, aint nobody going to give a s#!t who you beat at the beginning of the year......it goes right over their head because you have those extra 10 or 12 wins...... and that wins always bring the eyeballs more than "well, we lost to some great teams early on the road". Forget that. Start the year winning against UNL-Kearney and Milwaukee-State........ get your team warmed up for the tougher schedule down the road.

Impressive road wins, going 3-1 against GCU Let's shore up the bullpen (easy to say, hard to do) and keep hitting. It's really early, but Starting pitching seems to be pretty good so far.

Yeah I think so too. I heard he's got some baggage dealing with player attitudes that rub players off the wrong way. And if true, I think it's probably because he old school and wants things to go a certain way only (see Belichick, etc). I agree this could be a door open for HC opportunity in college football. Will it work? Maybe? Maybe not after a few years. Who knows. I just don't agree that he was as smart as advertised with the KC Chiefs. I mean, he wasn't a hot commodity at Carolina Panthers or a different s#!tty NFL team that suddenly got better. He had success at KC. That doesn't give an assistant coach the automatic right to be a head coach anyway or everywhere. So that's my opinion on that.

If you follow the season, one thing for sure..... THIS team been playing dang, gang, gang, gang, good They playing like they got Mikki Moore, Tyronn Lue, Erick Strickland, Dave Hoppen, Jack Moore, Andre Smith, Eric Piatkowski........ Playing like a team that you know that all of the former greats from the past are getting behind and supportive. So get behind them. Huskers Hoops! GBR!

Huskers won by 18 ! And it's their 20th win of the season !!! NEWSFLASH: This is a pretty good team, dawg
