  1. RIP Curly. I always liked watching the Harlem Globetrotters

      Dang, Curly was always my favorite of the 3 Stooges.....oops, wrong Curly.

      Saw them when I was a little guy. I think it might have been at Pershing. Would have been a very long time ago (early 80s). The opposing team wasn't the Generals; they had a couple of the local sports anchors playing.

      Aww, not Curly!

  2. Sad to see the Husker women (basketball) go down.

      I usually enjoy it when women go down.

      I was hoping they would play better basketball against Maryland.  It looked like they were close for a time then Maryland just seemed to play a better game.  (Ewww you two!  Grow up PUHLEEZE!)

  3. Senior athletes getting an extra year of eligibility due to the cancellation of games because of the Corona Virus?

    Where do you stand Huskerboard peeps?

    I say, yes. It’s such a shame that these kids can’t finish their season. What would it hurt?

      Not sure about winter sport athletes.  I could see either way.  But they did get to play almost all their season.  

       

      Spring sports should and the NCAA has already done that.

      Please, please, please include BB players!   Can you imagine how many grad transfers that would put into play??  Hoiberg would fill up the gym with them!!

  4. Several years ago we used to have a counter on HB that told us how many days until the first football game of the Husker season. Is that still a possibility?

      Thank you Cdog923! 

  5. So happy for Connie Yori!  Creighton hired her as the Program Advisor for Women’s Basketball!

      Yep, it was Eichorst.

      Maybe it wasn't Eichorst. Yori said she had a chance to stay at NU and chose family.

  6. So happy for the Nebraska win against Iowa today! GBR!  I’m also happy for my NWMSU Bearcats as they won their 4th MIAA Basketball title! https://bearcatsports.com/news/2019/3/10/mens-basketball-northwest-claims-4th-straight-miaa-tourney-crown.aspx

  7. TEXASS CHOKED!!! Proof that neither Texas nor Oklahoma should've been in the Big Dance!!  (I picked Nevada!  Whoo Hoo!)

      Theoretically you are correct Moiraine but this is Texa$$ we are talkin’ bout. There’s a few teams that don’t deserve defending and they’re top of the list. So screw ‘em.

    3. ladyhawke

      ladyhawke

      Yes, Moiraine, you are correct but Texass just gets on my last nerve.  When they lose I'm a happy camper. (And I picked Nevada so it helped my bracket! lol)

    4. ladyhawke

      ladyhawke

      I have to admit that this has been an exciting Dance so far!  Buffalo? Wow.  Nevada beating Texas. Excellent. Wichita State getting beat? Boo Hoo!  Fun to watch!

  8. There is a lively discussion in the Football Forum on whether or not the Tunnel Walk song should be changed. I was curious as to how it all started and found this:  http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=1087317

  9. These refs are terrible! That was clearly goaltending!:ahhhhhhhh

    1. swmohusker

      swmohusker

      That was goaltending.   Overall I thought the refs were great.  They let defenders go straight up and contest layups without calling a whistle every time they saw contact.  

    2. ladyhawke

      ladyhawke

      I guess for me I saw them call fouls on us but not the same foul when OSU committed them. (But I’m sure I’m biased;))

  10. These refs at the Nebraska Rutgers game are TERRIBLE! (Sweet last second 3 pointer by Palmer though!)

    1. teachercd

      teachercd

      Oh yeah, Rutgers is really know for getting home cooking from the refs.

    2. ladyhawke

      They are SO bad!!

  11. To the new owners of HB: In the past when a new post was written in the board that thread would move up to the top. I feel like that’s not happening anymore.  Also, how do you read past status updates? Thanks

      I almost never use it but shortly after the last major board software update I created an Activity Stream to see Status Updates.  

       

      Under the Activity tab (upper-left) go to My Activity Streams and Create New Stream.  One of the options is to choose Status Updates.  Then I get a little link in the upper-right (under the search box) that I can click on to see all Status Updates.

      Hey that's pretty cool @Mavric:thumbs

      Guess I don't play around with enough of the features.

  12. Today is the anniversary of Brook’s (Berringer) death. What a sad day that was. :(

      One of those days for me when you remember exactly where you were when you heard.

      That spring game is etched into my mind as one of the most real, somber experiences I've ever had, anywhere.

  13. TOUR DE FRANCE STARTS TOMORROW!!!

    Knappic who is your favorite? Froomie is out (crashed at the Dauphine). I’m hoping 

    TJ Van Garderen makes a good showing. 

    I don’t think Garrett Thomas can repeat.

      Sentence the adult(s) to the max with full restitution. Same with the juveniles. In any case, Scott Frost should have a say and make recommendations to the judge.

      So how do they get a fair trial here in Nebraska? :)

      This is starting to overshadow the phenomenal season that UCF had and is quite sad. They will be remembered/mocked more so for how they handled the situation.

    2. ladyhawke

      ladyhawke

      I don’t think so. Many people agree with this sentiment on a national level. When I listened to Nick Bahe yesterday he said that talk about UCF’s season and the changes that need to happen in the playoff system overshadowed the National Championship game.  People are fed up with having to watch the SEC in the finals year after year. 

  14. Well, my bracket went into the toilet tonight. Nova played lights out basketball tonight.

      I wouldn't count on it. Based on what I've seen of Nova, thinking about putting half my retirement on them. They look pretty unbeatable.

    3. TonyStalloni

      TonyStalloni

      Michigan may do a little better than Kansas vs Nova because they have some height other than the center. I'm not sure they have enough speed.  Mich can't take 5 or 6 minutes off in stretches and expect to win.  They will need to be on from the opening tip.

    4. ladyhawke

      ladyhawke

      I agree with both of you. Nova is  solid team. 

       

  15. Where were you 4 years ago when this happened? 

     

    1. Mavric

      Mavric

      At home watching wishing I was at the stadium.  We were originally supposed to go to that game but swapped those tickets for the Michigan State game with another family we split tickets with.  Poor choice on my part.

    2. deedsker

      deedsker

      South stadium. I saw the catch, but not where he landed. By the time I saw where he was on the big board, I thought he caught it at the one and didn't score! Everyone was screaming before I saw the ref finally signal touchdown.

      I was at home watching it on TV, same as this one...:P

       Wasn’t this one almost in the exact same spot on the field? Did you have a good view of this one also knapp?

    3. ZRod

      ZRod

      That one I did see in person from that side of the North endzone about 60 rows up. The first of many games we should have won... At least the BYU kid and his dad by us went home happy.

    4. Cdog923

      Cdog923

      50 yard line, 15 rows up, home sideline. 

       

      Best seats I've ever had for a game. 

  17. Wow! KState is actually giving Oklahoma a game! Tied 35 all. 

    1. Toe

      And they pulled off the upset! 35-38 final.

  18. Wow! Lots of storms in the Omaha Metro! Tornado near Louisville. Sounds like Cass County got hammered too with hail. Did Lincoln get much?  I hope everyone is safe!

      Lincoln barely got a drop. We're way down on rain right now.

      You sound like me teachercd.  I’m a plant killer for sure but my histas is hanging in there.  

      Knappic sorry you guys aren’t getting any rain.  We hadn’t had any for a while either before this storm. 

  19. YEAH BABY!  HUSKERS FOR THE WIN!!!:bigredn:

  20.  Wow! I just listen to Sharpe/Benning’s interview with Adrian Martinez. Wow!  That kid is going to be gold for us. If you have a chance to listen to the interview do so they just did it about 45 minutes ago it’s worth the listen.

      He's uber articulate!  I remember thinking roughly the same about Cody Green.  Hopefully our staff will develop this kid more than Bo's staff did with Cody.

    3. ladyhawke

      ladyhawke

      I was impressed with how wel he know the game of football! He was explaining to Damon his favorite play that would be difficult to defend using ‘football lingo’. Wow!  Even Damon was impressed.  I agree that he was very articulate. I can’t wait to see him play. (Shout out to Tristen Gebbia-Tristen went on home visit for Martinez! Tristen is from California as well and shared with Adrian what life is like on campus. Adrian thought Tristen was great and made him feel relaxed.
