One step forward, three steps back. It is the NU success program at its finest. At least bball_backer saw the writing on the wall earlier this week so hopefully he doesn't go all full retard tonight and get thrown in the drunk tank.

Obviously Mark Boehm knew what was up as he filed paper work to the NIT to host a first round game this week.

Here's to returning to your regularly scheduled off-season football conversation. Hello NIT. Not suprising one bit at all. Different monster away from the BOB

POOF

And boom goes the dynamite

Bad shot to try to take first lead, foul their best player who has been hald in check tonight(who makes two) and then expecting Neimann to make a shot at the end of the clock. Things that make ya go

Holy crap we are playing Neimann

Chance at the first lead tonight for NU and they jack up a 3. DUMB

I know the altitude DOES play a factor on the team plus the fact that sCUm has cranked the heat up in the place, but this is a WTF lineup right now. Guys that haven't played in weeks.

Why not. Let's hope all their energy was spent trying to make up for the typical lackluster on the road start.

Alright fellas time to play like you want to get in the big tourney. Show up early and there's a chance.

Great win today. Man it was it was cold with the wind today out at Haymarket Park. Two things though. The hitting. People you have to realize NU easily saw what could be 1 and 1A when it comes to the top pitchers in the nation the last two days. Bauer was unreal today, think Tim Lincecum. Blazing fast ball, great breaking stuff, and a delivery that hides the ball well. Cole is much the same yesterday. C'mon Cole was still throwing 95 in the 8th innning yesterday and Bauer was mowing down hitters with ease in the 10th!!! Those two guys are studs. Say what you want about the lack of hitting but the adage that good pitching owns good hitting is true at all levels. Take note to the fact more that NU got great performances on the mound to answer Bauer and Cole. Small Ball. Anderson has been playing small ball pretty much the last four or five years. Other than Adam Bailey there has been no big bat in the lineup that can go deep at any at bat. The new bats will continue the small ball in the college game. The running game was pretty much negated the last two days by Cole and Bauer with their ability to get the ball to the plate very quickly. Also I think NU may be a slower team this year. Peters and Christainson are probably the two quickest NU has and to run on the bases you first must get on which goes back to the first point. Bauer and Cole more or less take the hit and run away with their propencity to strike hitters out and limit contact. People calling for Anderson's head sound like the people who call for Doc's. It isn't going to happen, at least for the next couple of years. The move to the easier Big 10/12, and the construction of the new indoor facility will also give Mike more time. This team can be good, especially if the pitching can maintain its level and may only get better when the NCAA pulls its head out of its ass and clears Ehlers.

A&M actually can win one the road, and is a better team than NU overall

My problem with JBD is how many rebounds did our starting 6'11" post have against Mizzou? BINGO

God rap was great back in the day. Now I can't stand the sh#t. This one goes out to my peeps in Central Standard time repping the original 308 out in the Handle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD_WDNeC9vg

Straight gangsta before heading to a birthday party tonight at the Red 9

I think the weather pplayed a part in the hitting for both squads. However, Cole is the real freaking deal for the Bruins. Turned down first round money(see Bubba it is possible) from the Yankees after a stud run through the CWS last year. Keller pitched well today as well. It doesn't get any easier tomorrow as Trevor Bauer probably takes the mound tomorrow and only led the nation in strikeouts last year. Both he and Cole pitched for Team USA last summer so they are the real deals. Hopefully the hitting picks up tomorrow as well as the temperature so I can take my boys.

I know all about the talking heads on TV backer, but I was expecting you of all people to attempt to pump some of the nebrasketball sunshine up my ass. I just can't fathom a way they get in as is. On top of that, I can't see this team doing what has eluded them all season win a big game on the road following a huge win. And I don't want to think about what this team would do playing on back to back days. Most of the time playing twice in a week fries my brain. So now, someone other than bball_backer, explain to me how NU gets in(besides winning the conference tourney, cause I'll put the odds on that at 150:1 and that is being generous). backer, feel free to attempt to pump some nebrasketball mojo into me about the sCUm game. Oh no you don't, you're not gonna trick me into getting my hopes up this time. For the first time EVER, I've been able to keep a level head the past few days. I'm not going to start dreaming now. Once, maybe just once, I'll be able to go into Saturday with no expectations so that after the game I'll either be thrilled (with a win) or indifferent (with a loss), no hair pulled out, no nuts popped, not ruptured veins in my neck. All these teams that keep losing are making it hard enough not to dream. I don't need you egging me on, too. Now you're starting to see the light young Skywalker. The force is strong in this one. I have seen this movie far to many times to expect something new. I crave for something new, but alas I still beg of Doc to prove me wrong. Ironic though it is, that the two teams telling the Big XII to pound sand are probably fighting for the last tourney spot and it comes down to which coach Doc or Tad Boyle can get their team up for a monster game, something both have struggled with this year. I pick the altitude to win

Come on we all know HuskerJen looked like the pirate chick she had in her avatar and sig pics, just like she said...... and Shawn Watson is an offensive mastermind. Everytime someone links BR, HuskerJen sits in the corner masterbating with his own tears.

I invision something more along the lines of the Super Fans skits on SNL, with Farley, Meyers and George Wendt. A place where we can glutton ourselves with dead animals while downing mass quantities of alcohol all while clogging our arteries. So me thinks that crosses out the ol Starlight. Plus the whole Brady Bunch vive gives me the freaks until I start thinking about Marcia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET_5cx02Bwg

Shawn Watson says you all are stupid. I had no idea of what kind of an offense I was running for the last three years. WHAT!?! Wrong forum? The Woodshed, in the Quips thread? Tough, it fits perfectly right here.

And the truth shall set you free!!!!! +1, my good man. This is exactly the arguement that needs to help a lot of people pull the scarlet glasses off and see things in a big world perspective. Top 20? Probably. Top 10, I need to start smoking/drinking/inhaling/mainstreaming whatever it is that they are.

You NEVER go full retard! YES!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sV3wjk0at4
