i stand corrected
No biggie. I've been wrong many times myself.
It just so happens that I was at the Sunday game last year vs. Minnesota when we swept them. I remember folks talking about it being the first sweep since 2010 at the time. Otherwise I probably would've just took your word for it.

the first sweep since 2010 against Tech....
We swept Minnesota last year @ Haymarket.

Assuming he signs (I know, I know the old saying about what assuming gets you), but IF he does, how does that mitigate the loss of Akoy?
Are we better off with an experienced juco or a talented freshman?
In other words, will you be happier with Atewe (can we pronounce it ....atta way!), or would we have been better served with Akoy?
Apologies in advance if I'm reading your post wrong, but it is my understanding that Atewe is a HS prospect, not a JUCO prospect? Correct me if I'm wrong?
No, no apologies necessary. My mistake. I worded that poorly. Somehow in my feeble mind, I was thinking because he was at a prep school, he would have LESS than a full four years available.
Regardless, in no way should I have labeled him a juco.
But my question remains..........IF we sign him, is that snag a better answer for us than Akoy?
Thanks for the clarification. I'm exercising the "wait-and-see" approach with the Atewe/Akoy comparison. It probably depends on the type of fan you are? If you're the type that follows recruiting closely and subscribes to the star ranking system, then Akoy is seen as the better prospect.
While I wish Akoy the best at Louisville, I'm excited to see what Miles' GATA philosophy can do for Atewe? Hopefully it's a good fit? Fans will forget missing on Akoy if Atewe shows the ability to play within the system and wins us some games in the process.
Like I said, wait-and-see...

Off the top of my head:
-- First school to install field turf for football
-- First school to have instant replay video boards for football
-- One of the first schools to employ a Sports Nutrition staff (last I heard we are one of only 5 schools with multiple people on staff)
-- Soon to be first school to have a dedicated research facility studying concussions and athletic performance
We installed field turf in 1999, correct? Werent' we also the first school to use astro-turf before then? When did that start?
Correct on field turf. No on astroturf though. I had to look it up and this is what I found on astroturf. According to that link, Indiana State was the first college to install astroturf.

When you consider the numerous "firsts" in Husker Athletics history, now we have this for basketball @ Pinnacle Bank Arena:
"Nebraska will be the first college venue to have a true HD 6-millimeter, complete state-of-the-art scoreboard," Hinshaw said. "It has the right height, the right width and the right pixel sizes. It will be spectacular – the best board in college athletics."Old LJS article about new scoreboard.

East Lansing, Mich. - Paced by a program-record 49.725 on vault and nine titles in four events and the all-around, the No. 9 Nebraska women's gymnastics team captured their third-consecutive conference crown with a 197.800 at the 2013 Big Ten Women's Gymnastics Championships. NU's score was a conference championship school record and gave Head Coach Dan Kendig his 14th conference title at Nebraska. The Huskers' crown marked the first time the program has earned three-straight conference titles since 2001-02-03.
Emily Wong earned her second consecutive Big Ten all-around title, posting the second-highest score at a conference championship meet in school history (39.725). Wong took or tied for top honors on uneven bars (9.925), balance beam (9.90) and floor exercise (9.975) en route to top honors at the meet.

Shatel: B1G Challenge Might Be Just What Husker Hoops Needs To Become Relevant Again
CHICAGO — Big shoulders. Big banners.
People ask the difference between the Big Ten basketball tournament and the old shindig in Kansas City. For the answer, look directly up, to the rafters. To the ceiling.
On one side of the United Center, you see the work of Michael Jordan. Six NBA championship banners. Salute. Kneel before them. Be impressed.
On the other side hangs the history of the city’s NHL team, the Blackhawks of the Original Six. The stuff of goose bumps.
From the statues of Jordan and Stan Mikita to the imposing skyline to the east, everything about this venue says it: Big time.
You feel it when the Big Ten tourney sets up camp in Indianapolis, too. This league plays in NBA arenas. It plays before huge, passionate crowds, passionate about their teams, about their hoops.
It’s not Kemper or Sprint, it’s not Oklahoma City, or Dallas — the latter two NBA arenas located in burgs where hoops is a secondary language.
Nebraska now plays basketball in a league that cares about basketball.
Barfknecht: Shades Of Bill Snyder In Miles' Approach
CHICAGO — “So what do you think of Tim Miles?”
Friends, fans, emailers and chatters have hit me with that question since Miles took the Nebraska men’s basketball job nearly a year ago.
First impressions, in this day of instant expertise and commentary, are everywhere from everybody. Me, I’m leery of first-year impressions when assessing power-conference coaches.
The love for Miles right now is near full bloom — and deservedly so.
This was a Husker team that people near the program feared might max out at 10 wins.
He got to 15, including an upset of Purdue in the Big Ten tournament, which has led friends to tell him semi-seriously that he raised the bar too high too soon at the start of his seven-year contract.
So after Miles’ first 12 months on the job, what should we think?
I see parallels between Miles’ early days at NU and the early days of Kansas State football under Bill Snyder. I’m talking about what Snyder often calls “intrinsic values” on how to do business.
