      The Fox answer is "You can't explain that!"

    Gym called police on teen who kept sneaking in

     

    A Chicago teen had been repeatedly warned about sneaking onto the basketball court at a suburan fitness facility, but one police officer came up with an alternative to arresting him for criminal trespassing.

      Here's your feel-good story of the day. It'll be interesting to see if this kid's identity comes out in 10 years if/when he makes it to the NBA.  I know we see all the headlines about the things cops do wrong, but these are the kinds of stories we need to see, too. My mom worked for two PDs in her life and I got to know several officers pretty well. These stories happen way oftener than you think.

      @ZRod I think about 100% of the players last year would've said they wanted to win. The big difference is now they are putting in the required work to actually win and are being put in a position where they know they can win and they have confidence in the coaches. It's a huge difference over just saying the words and going through the motions but knowing deep down that things are very wrong.

      If you guys yave a chance to listen to the huskeronline videos on youtube I recommend it.  Farmer steals the show in my opinion and you can see the change in attitude.

  8. @Mavric I understand your Status from yesterday now. My Twitter just changed over. It's awful.

    1. Mavric

      Mavric

      A couple things are nice.  I like how new Tweets are loaded - similar to mobile but mobile is still a bit better.

       

      But it's busy.  And I don't understand why it doesn't save settings from one session to the next.  Latest tweets, text size, etc. all have to be reset every time.  Annoying.

      I had an ad give me a colonoscopy.   Without anesthesia.   Or lube.  Or a camera.

      Really wish the previous site owners would have given one of the posters an opportunity to buy and maintain status quo. Or set it up so the posters could rally and run it themselves. 

  10. There will be a press conference today at noon to announce charges of fraud and corruption in college basketball.  Federal criminal charges have been brought against ten people, including four college basketball coaches, as well as managers, financial advisors, and representatives of a major international sportswear company.

      Interesting...I thought Knapplc was making a commentary on Miles' tenure at DoNU before I opened up the status invite and read the whole thing. :D

       

      ...but yeah...this looks like this is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

      It didn't seem like he meant to hit the judge, but I don't know what led up to it.

      Big time news. So cool this is happening In Omaha and a real good idea by MLB. Great way to kickoff the tournament

      Wait...so your telling me there are people that got into colleges without actually deserving to be there?

      @NoKoolAidForME I know! That would never happen. Colleges wouldn't let kids in based on anything but their intellectual merits!

      How much is a fortnight in moons, again?

  17. A little concerned we haven't heard from Fred Hoiberg's Saltwater Aquarium guy. The longer he stays silent, the less likely I think it is that he comes here. Who would take the Nebraska job without first securing a home for your saltwater fishy friends?

    1. Cdog923

      Cdog923

      This raises a couple of questions:

       

      1. Cable Guys are no longer the go-to for the intense rumor mongering, right?

      2. Is Fred friends with the Ole Ball Coach?

  18. According to Huskers.com, Tanner Lee is the first Husker to be drafted as a Quarterback in 21 years. The last one? 

     

    Scott Frost - 1997

    1. Thanks_Tom RR

      Thanks_Tom RR

      Frost was drafted in 1998 as a safety. It has been 26 years since McCant was drafted, the last Nebraska player drafted as a QB.

    2. C N Red

      C N Red

      Yep, Frost drafted as a safety. There was a good story on Sharp & Benning other day about how Frost got Washington to commit to us over ASU. Basically told him he was drafted as a safety and not a qb, and that his best chance to reach the nfl would be at RB which is what we were recruiting him as.

    3. NUance

      NUance

      1983 is known as the QB draft.  Six first rounders:  John Elway, Todd Blackledge, Jim Kelly, Tony Eason, Ken O'Brien and Dan Marino.  Husker Trivia:  What NU QB was drafted in 1983?  He was a starter in the NFL for a while.  LINK

  19. After five matches in the 16-team VNL 2019, Team USA is the only undefeated team. Knocked off previously unbeaten Italy today, in Italy in front of a partisan crowd of paisans.

      Looking forward to watching them in Lincoln Tuesday.  Got some tickets for my girls and I to go watch them.   They are pumped.

      Fox has now pulled their announcement and there's been nothing confirmed by the Huskers.

      So, stop me if you've heard this before, but Fox got it wrong.

       

      Game canceled. No game tomorrow.

       

      Season opens next week against Colorado.

  22. Alabama & Wisconsin ink a home-and-home deal for 2024-2025.

      This is a great move by bama as they bitch about their fans leaving early or not showing up (then later brag about their attendance.)

       

      The neutral site games make some sense but it won't compare to the money they make for a home game (local economy).  

       

      It is a decent name but not a huge threat an the return game in Madison will be a fun one for Bama necks...errrrr...fans.

    3. darkhorse85

      darkhorse85

      Wisconsin should have pushed for a November night game.  Bama most certainly would have told them to pound sand though.

    4. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      @darkhorse85we could hope for severe weather in Madison that postpones the game and forces 'Bama to sacrifice their November cupcake for a frosty trip north of the Mason-Dixon line.

      Snuck into a Sam's club Sunday for a late lunch...Observing the crowd, I noticed...It's just like the ''People of Walmart'' …

      only without the tattoos.

  24. And so it ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper.

    1. ZRod

      Soooo... I probably don't need to watch it?

    2. swmohusker

      swmohusker

      I was fine with the ending.  It is what I expected since I knew for the last couple years that it was only going to be 6 episodes long.
