What a breakdown...two guys guarding the same player and giving up the lay-up

At least they're being strong under the basket...

Not a good start to the 2nd.

"Got to keep guarding, keep rebounding and play to win." Coach Miles' halftime tweet.

Remember Nebraska's defense against UMass? Me neither. But it certainly has gotten much, much better.

How does Petteway make such a nice FT...and then almost airball the second?! Oh well. Good to see Ray hit that three before the half, was a tough shot. watching the highlights of the 1st half, this team is miles ahead of where they were at the beginning of conference play. see what I did there? GBR!

Did Miles say that Petteway was injured but playing? Something other than his back? I was in the other room and missed most of what he said.

What class? I go to UNO, and the class is Media Storytelling I. Trying to become a professional Huskerboarder, huh?

No one is confirming it, but I went to Indiana's radio and they also said it wasn't likely he plays.

Playing Michigan on the field to determine the champion would've been a lot more fun. Only for Nebraska If it wasn't for that damn Missouri game a split title wouldn't have been an issue at all IMO. IIRC, Nebraska dropped to 3rd after that win. I've never understood the whole 'dropping in polls' after you win, especially in the middle of the season. I can see it in the first game or two, when maybe your pre-season rank was maybe perceived to be too high, but if you're winning game after game, no matter how tough the game is, it shouldn't happen.

Just a guess, but if there is a student that isn't planning on using their ticket and going to the game, but all the sudden they decide they're going to go because they can get a free T-shirt out of it...well...screw them. They're not much of a fan anyway and would probably do little else than text or complain about everything.

Not if you turn the other two into regular season games and make even more $$$. But I doubt the NFLPA would ever allow it.

I think I heard on Sports Nightly a while back that this had something to do with schools around the state hosting high school ACT testing that morning. Not sure if that was a primary reason, but may have played a role.

Off topic a bit, but I think NFL preseason is the absolute worst. Why they haven't cut it down to 2 games is beyond me.

I'm not sure if NU is capable of shooting any worse than they did at Illinois. But still, it will be a tough game.

I started thinking...instead of changing the seating, just build a couple of temporary Old Country Buffet and Grandmother's Restaurants around the top of the stadium. Make sure each table has a built-in TV that shows nothing but the Lifetime Channel, a sewing machine, and scatter some crocheting needles and gigantic am/fm radio headphones on tables, and Wah-lah! Closer seats instantly become available to students.

Some of the 'out-of-state/not first and foremost Husker fans' people that come to mind are Cy, killercacti and there's an A&M guy that I can't remember his handle. Anyone remember the scene from 'The 40-year Old Virgin' when they did the speed-dating thing? Not that it would ever happen, of course, but it'd be interesting to sit down for a minute or two with Huskerboarders, and then right before you move on to the next person you reveal to each other what your Huskerboard name is. I wonder what the shocking/not shocking percentage would be. But to (sort of) answer the question, I've tail-gated with Husker fans that I didn't know, I've sat with Husker fans at the games that I didn't know, I've sat at Husker watch sites in Texas, Colorado, California, Arizona, Florida and of course, places all over Nebraska with Husker fans that I didn't know. There's probably a good chance I've chatted with someone from here and didn't know it. But the bottom line is, I've never had a bad experience talking to a fellow Husker fan. So chances are good I'd enjoy meeting and talking to any of you.

Any announcement on what the dates will be for the games this year? I saw your website post showing that last year it was the 22nd-25th. I'm just curious because we're planning a trip to Hawaii on the 26th, and it'd be cool to check out a Husker game to go with it.

You know how many nuclear weapons Russia has, but you or your family has never heard of the Ukraine?! Edit: My bad, you didn't say you hadn't heard of Ukraine. But kind of like huzkerbob said, it's no shock that Americans don't know where or what the Ukraine is. Wasn't it Leno or Letterman that had that segment that they asked people on the sidewalk simple questions and they were completely awful at it? I remember there was one about Nebraska, and the people that were asked not only had no idea where it was, some didn't even know it was in the U.S.

That's not very funny. Just stop it meow.

Bo's too stubborn to change.... Clearly he's trying Mavric, give the guy some credit. Alcoholics sometimes try to change, too.

Basically just another thread that turns into the usual suspects that hate Bo (unless he has a great upcoming season) vs. the usual suspects that support Bo (unless he has a bad upcoming season). There is not a chance of any offseason Huskerboard post that is going to change anyone's mind in either camp this year. Thankfully, both basketball teams are doing pretty well, and it'll be fun to see how Erstad's team gets going on the diamond. And I'm glad for this. Because I almost cringe at going to the 'Football' subforum anymore. It just always turns in to the same crap. I understand it's my own choice to go to it. But it's my favorite Husker sport. I always hope to see something of interest on it. And once in a while I do. And then it just turns into WWIII, as usual.

Only thing I could think of is the 'Izzone' (sp?) but obviously that's the court's nickname, not the coach.

Well...at least Dirk didn't do this Q&A. Murder is never cool.
