Husker pitching was pretty solid first 2 games. We got 2 so far. 4 game series you want to split, but hope for 3 w's. That's the goal. Against GC, Florida, LSU, Omaha, whoever. It doesn't matter. It's very challenging to win 4 straight on the road in a 4 game series. I think we will be ok. One game left in the series. They want it as badly as we do. So we will see.....

We need to be as good as Kansas first, before we can do that

To the bold part... homie, what about the wings???! Never forget the wings Beer sports wings ! And Wet Sawwcee

GO BIG RED ! HUSKERS be like: Minnesota Gophers:

Man,,, this was an incredible vid from the Husker dept. I have been full-on done with every Husker hype video for football......especially off-season....for 10 years running. But because of the season they having in hoops, this was sooo good and legit. Now THIS... It actually fits. This is a masterpiece.

Hmmm.... that's odd it says "UCLA hired......." instead of "Head Coach DeShaun Foster hired...." but ok whatever, no biggie. It's the little details that make you wonder who is in charge of the football program. Again, no biggie, just observing. Man, when Bienemy played at Colorado he was all "Bi's, Tri's, and Thighs" Totally jacked Since then his MO has changed. Now it's all about eating Tri's, thighs, wings, legs, banana pudding, red beans and rice, gumbo, upside down pineapple cake and chicken spaghetti. And then going for seconds and thirds...... eeesh

Lacking illustrious X factor of leadership? of greatness that makes everyone around him great towards winning and team success? Eh, I would love to hear your perspective and for you to elaborate on that. He is not the volume shooter you think he is. Luka is not cut from the same cloth of players like Carmelo Anthony, James Harden, Westrbook. Ask any teammate and you will hear how he makes the game easier for them. He is always the focal point for defenders and often gets doubled teamed. He just hasn't had a supporting cast of talent and depth around him. Until now. How many guys has Mark Cuban put on the roster that have been mid-average or simply average players around him? Who is the wing defender on the Mavs? Who is a rim protector Center and puts up 15-25 points with Luka's pick-n-roll? Who coaches and substitutes, by sitting Luka out the first 5-6 minutes of the 4th quarter and first 6-7 minutes of the 2nd quarter? (Still the worse coaching decision thought process ever - J. Kidd). Night after night, game after game. Well fortunately for me and you and others, the Mavs finally addressed their weaknesses by making good trades. JP Washington & Daniel Gafford. And we can now see it all as it should have been. Washington is a 6-7 wing defender with 7-2 wingspan, and can score on offense (15ppg). Gafford is a real, big body center that can score on his own, but thrives with Luka. Gafford is tough and physical and blocks shots, but scores points. While rookie center Derek Lively can play 25 minutes stress free as backup/starter for now. He has been thriving as a pick-n-roll finisher and rim protector at 19 yrs old. Plus K.Irving is totally onboard being the robin to batman (Luka) and can light the scoreboard up. They are building chemistry and becoming the best duo in the league. As to your point, Luka just hasn't had players around him. Dwight Powell at Center ?? He is the easiest defender to drive past on in the league for the last 5 years. That's his center. Hardaway Jr? Maxi Kleber? Dorian Finney-Smith? Reggie Bullock? Dinwiddie? Christian Wood? JaVale McGee? Porzingis? Josh Green? Kemba Walker? Hardy? There have been dozens of them, names of guys and all nice players. Good players at times. But just roster budget guys. These and not players a championship owner would put together. See LA Lakers, Golden State, Boston, Denver, Phoenix. Since Dallas won a championship, it has been the same thing. Let great guys go, blow up the chemistry, make money and be like "here is our budget, these are some nice players, but we need to try and win and keep fans in the seats". Luka just wants to win man. Score 40 or dish out 20 assist, he doesn't care. But trust me, this trade for JP Washington and Gafford is going to make a difference. Just wait and you will see. Luka has a supporting cast that is pretty strong for once.

I feel like these "Breaking salary cap" stories have been happening a lot the past decade. Almost like it's not a new story, but a simple contingent from the previous year(s).

Thank you! Especially for being on point! I didn't see the game. I read through 3 pages and 35 posts, one at a time. As I read and filtered through the debri, it felt as if the Huskerboard fans got kinda happy being up by 20 points, then felt robbed, stabbed in the back, kicked in the nuts, ........and Huskers were going to lose, lose, lose, refs, lose. But the Huskers won by 15 ??? And won on the road One thing I noticed the past 2 decades is that Husker fans hate losing more than they like winning. And ANYTHING that is a close game at one point or another isn't enjoyable to see. Win big or don't win at all. This is a great example of that IMHO. GBR and very happy the Huskers won, especially a road game. Because this team has been staying the course all year. Nearly 20 wins for the season as they stay in the pocket, doing what they do, and keep building momentum. Been a great season! Now we just need to work on Husker fans enjoying a game and not sitting on pins and needles because the mindset is always - "We Have To Win This Game!" (every game)

Wtf is a basement ??! And in the 80's ??! Is that a place to record music, like RHCP, Nirvana and the Pixies ??! I also once heard it was a place to dominate a keyboard, so I'm really confused. Basement ???

Ironically, Lebron has been a huge Luka fan and supporter since Day 1. That's tremendous recognition over the years. Even if not needed.

He's right. Rhule is right. We've got enough big game matchups playing the new Big Ten schedule. You should put a non-conf schedule out that will be favorable, so you can build some depth and confidence (winning). And then you can be ready for those 9 conf games, plus post season games. Back in the day, we all wanted more tougher competition to start the season. And something that was especially exciting for the home folks. That ship has sailed. Probably years ago. I am all for an easier non-conf "pre-season" schedule. It is what it is.

I saw that article and heard the media points, but I don't think there was anything wrong with SF taking the ball first. At the end of the day, KC Chris Jones made a HUGE play on defense, and Patrick Mahomes converted 3rd and 4th downs. The Chiefs had adversity too and won the game. It was a great ending, even if I was slightly pulling for the 49ers. Playmakers make the biggest plays. And that is what happened. Hats off to Pat Mahomes and Chris Jones. The 49ers also have guys that can make big plays too. And SF had their chances, right in front of them. I love it when the best plays are made that decide the game. Kickoff or play defense doesn't change anything IMHO.

I have seen enough to understand enough, so no need to explain March Madness. We both know that the best teams in college basketball are 1 seeds. The top 4. Seeds 2 are the top 8 teams in the country (landing at 5, 6, 7, 8) Seeds 3 are the top 12 teams around (landing at 9, 10, 11, 12) Seeds 4 - finishing at 13, 14, 15, 16 Seeds 5 - the back part of the top 20 - 17, 18, 19, 20 There is some difference with teams between 24-54, but hitting buckets and playing defense can make the difference here. A higher ranked team goes cold, gets into foul trouble and there is your upset. My point is that I'd rather the Huskers have a matchup that is winnable. Because Nebraska has never won a game in March Madness ever. But if you win for once, hopefully round 2 isn't against a top 12 team (3 seed).

Well you should care. I get the excitement when dreaming about a Husker upset in the tournament against a way better team. But that's the same feeling for Husker fans in football that say "I just want to go to a bowl game". But then what happens after you lose that game? I agree the opportunity is exciting. But we been tracking their success all year long so it should not be a surprise by now. Give us a good shot in Round 1 with another good shot in Round 2. We shouldn't always have to climb mountains. I want the Huskers to get a break for once.

On point... and a great take. These are Bad matchups for Huskers at #11 seed. For anyone that faces them in round one. But, they are all projected to be the 6 seeds. FAU did great in tourney last year. Final 4 lost by 1 point. They been ranked all year this year. Kentucky been ranked all year too. Tech ranked all year. South Carolina (21-5) been ranked all year. Any of those "6th seeds" would be a terrible matchup if you are the 11th seed - Nebraska. Not sure why people here don't see it and keep brushing their shoulders off. I am advocating that we have to go to the Dance being a higher seed or a tad lower.

Florida State and Clemson have had some pretty good college baseball teams over the years. And in college basketball too. But this is about money only - I mean, football. 12 weeks a year. If they don't be added to B1G that's fine. But if they do, then embrace it. Would be really good for all main sports.

That's awesome! Think about it.... 1. We are making the Big Ten Tournament 2. We are not 1st round 3. We start in 2nd round and play a team that might be exhausted 4. We win 2nd round and play Wisconsin in 3rd Round "quarterfinals" 5. Winning 3rd round puts in the Big Ten Final 4

I see Trev Albert being mentioned so this must have something to do with Nebraska. What sport is this? Girls Soccer? Tennis? Riffle? Bowling? Softball? Or let me guess, volleyball? And whatever anybody do in a room is none of anyone's business. You, teammates, or media. As long as it's consensual.

So you miss the point? About being 11th seed and the challenges? I also mentioned it's easier at 10 and 12. I would retype but I don't want to. There is a lot of bad seeding that traditionally happens. I hope you agree.

Halfway into his 6th NBA season, 24 years old, and turning 25 soon. Most Points Per Game - ALL TIME Impressive.... 1. Michael Jordan* 30.12 2. Wilt Chamberlain* 30.07 3. Luka Dončić 28.40 Who is Luka? 6'8 255lb chubby kid. Let's get to know him.

After All-Star game, Nikola Jokic was asked and joked that Luka was the worst, more worse than him in All-Star games. Basically admitting how they don't care about it.

Stay the course and we are in. I think we would all love to win in round one, and then have hope to play well in round 2. After looking at the projected tourney bracket, it looks like we would be better off being #12 or #13 seed. They currently have us at #11. That path seems more challenging as the #11 seed. And more challenging than if we were #12 or #10 seed. For example... The 11th seed plays the 6th seed. Winner plays 3rd seed. The 12th seed plays the 5th seed. Winner plays 4th seed. The 13th seeds plays the 4th seed. Winner plays 5th seed. Right now, the Huskers are projected #11th seed and would play against #6 seed Texas Tech, Kentucky, South Carolina, Florida Atlantic. And then if you win you play the #3 seed - Baylor, Alabama, Iowa State, Auburn If Huskers were #12th seed, they would play against the #5 seed - BYU, San Diego State, Dayton, Clemson. If you win then you play against the #4 seed - Creighton, Wisconsin, Illinois, Duke My point is, the #11 seed is a difficult path. I mean, even if the Huskers got the #10th seed, they play the projected #7 seed - Utah State, Oklahoma, Colorado State, Michigan State Any matchup as #11 looks awfully hard IMHO.

Huskers are 18-8 Can we let that sink in for a moment ?!??!! That overall record feels like we got Eric Piatkowski on our team. I love it

I was just a C student, so bare with me. If college football is communicating an idea.... to incorporate an NFL rule, to help eliminate commercials during the earlier part of the game by adding a 2-minute warning rule?? That doesn't make sense to me. And it is not going to help the game and everybody knows it. All it will do is provide more television commercials at the end of the game. The 2 minute warning is an automatic Television break. By the way, I provided 6 different NFL rules that could benefit college football. Unfortunately, those rules would not benefit TV breaks, TV sponsors and TV advertisements. All a 2-minute warning does is give viewers another commercial break, so they can grab nachos or call their grandma. The game changing ideas I provided are basic NFL rules that would help the college football game, college players and their future. But those rules will not ultimately and financially help Ted the TV executive, Home Depot, Lilly at ATT, or T-Mobile and Verizon, State Farm or Liberty Biberty. Which is exactly why the idea of a 2-minute warning is being mentioned for college football. No wonder the idea isn't being floated around for "2 feet in bounds" for a reception. Because there is no money involved in that. Further kicks placed back on extra point tries? No money. How about a spot foul on pass interference like the NFL does? No money. I hope people understand the underlining thinking by now. Changes typically comes down to money more often than not.
