Stanton and Fyfe looked the best of the QB's.

And what was that kicking thing all about? Yikes.

What? No Creighton on his list? I can hear Dirk crying from here.

Good Lord....the kid just finished his freshman year of football and people are already writing him off and wishing someone else was the QB.

Basketball is over, the baseball team looks below average...nothing left but to rip apart the upcoming football team.

I used to work with him. Always seemed like a good guy. Nice gesture by Bo.

Cubs spring baseball.

-1.

Always wondered where he went. The fans did that on more than that one occasion. Glad he's doing well.

And all this matters now why?

I wouldn't change mine, it's been my nickname for years. I'm a huge Colorado Avalanche fan, and Peter Forsberg is my favorite player of all-time. It is his nickname, and my friends started calling me that whenever I'd wear his jersey, which was quite often during games.

 

I did not know that was Forsberg's nickname and he is my all time and forever favorite hockey player. Your status grew ten times today in my book, sir. Love the way that guy played the game, just wish his body had cooperated a bit more.

I would have gladly traded ankles with him for a few more good years out of him. It's not like I'm playing anything professionally

I agree. And the refs still were awful.

Good points, Foppa, and I'd also like to just point out on a lighter note, that this thread ought to have been titled with 'chicken' instead of 'horse.'

 

Our frustration with the fouls was evident and I do think it kind of snowballed on us. That, combined with the shooting, led to a meltdown of sorts, but you know, the next time these guys are back here, the stage lights won't be as bright and I think they'll be ready for anything.

I'm just sick of this new 'ticky-tack' rule, and how half the time it's enforced, and half the time it isn't. Teams can't even dictate the flow of the game anymore. It's like those Metallica lyrics from the song, 'Eye Of The Beholder.'

Doesn't matter what you see

Or into it what you read

You can do it your own way

If it's done just how I say

Independence limited

Freedom of choice is made for you, my friend

Freedom of speech is words that they will bend

Freedom with their exception

I'd rather they got rid of this crap and play the game. But if not, go 100% and make sure the players know what a bore-fest they're up against every game. The refs have had a whole season to figure this out. It's not Baylor's fault, and I'm sure they don't care since they won. But soon the NFL will be the National Flag-football League and March Madness will turn into a H-O-R-S-E tournament.

I've heard on a few occasions that teams aren't 'adjusting' from game to game with how the referees are calling things that particular night.

So, the bottom line is: Remember our game plan and how we prepared to play this team all week? Well, guess what? Refs said 'hell no,' so just abandon what we thought was a proper game plan and now? Hope for the best.

There has been lots of consistency this season. The refs either consistently let them play, which, according to the new rules, they're not supposed to, or consistently call fouls and turn the game of basketball into watching your grandmother's bridge game, which they're now supposed to do.

Don't get me wrong, NU's horrible shooting was what lost the game. But that was flat-out awful to watch if even if you were just a basketball fan and didn't care who won.

I heard after the game the refs are going to a little kids' birthday party and puncture holes in the bouncy castle, take a chainsaw to the pinata, and throw the cake into the swimming pool.

Can I get fined if I comment about basketball officiating?

I'd love for him to find out!

Ha ha ha! Awesome Bo.

 

But we'll probably get a technical foul if the refs find out about this tweet.

Bo just fouled out of the game.

Meh. That was a long time ago Lee. Time to move on and stop digging up negativity.

Wonder if it'll work internationally. Most of ESPN's feeds don't due to copyrights.

I'm anticipating this may be popular, is there going to be a running total of everyone's scores, or is it just going to get totaled at the end?

Sigh. The one (and only (so far)) year that I could be in the same city for a weekend to watch both the Huskers and Tar Heels, and I'm in another country.

I don't like having Creighton in our bracket just because I don't want them looking ahead to it. Baylor will be tough, and a mismatch at that. Hope we can play good D, shoot well, and get the W.

So you can pick any team between #5 and #8, etc., or it has to be a #5 and a #8. I think you're saying the former, but just wanted to be clear.

The Game - Pick nine teams in the tournament

 

The Goal - Accumulate the most points scored by your teams during the entire tournament

 

The Catch - Your nine teams have to meet the following criteria: One #1 seed, two teams seeded #2-#4, two teams seeded #5-#8, two teams seeded #9-#12 and two teams seeded #13-#16

 

The contest is for the entire tournament. Thus, if you are selecting any teams playing in the First Round, your entry - posted to this thread - is due by the time their game starts. Otherwise, all entries are due by the tip of the first game on Thursday morning. If you put in an entry then make any changes, you need to check the "Edit" box when modifying your post.

 

What do you mean by points?

I'm guessing points scored in a game, but I could be wrong.

Sounds intriguing. Might give it a go. Your idea, or has this format been used in the past?

I don't understand why people are saying we didn't play 'physical' enough. If we would've played MORE physical the entire team, the coaches, and half the fans would've fouled out.

Well hopefully we make the torney, but we had to have that game for a for sure shot...............dammit.

And now...the waiting game. Probably in our best interests that OSU wins the tourney?

Such a bummer. Refs didn't lose it for us, but didn't do us any favors. Just not a good game with the exception of a few minutes.
