I like it.  It's better than being projected 4th and finishing 13th.  Good chance to finish higher than 13th.

I really hope the basketball team has a good season. 
 

Husker fans need it.

Not Husker news, but it will affect them.  Minnesota's Eric Curry is out for the season.

CBS Sports has rated the NC schedules of all 87 "major" conference schools (plus Gonzaga, Davidson, VCU, Utah St & St Mary's).  Only 13 of the 92 teams have an easier NC schedule than Nebraska.

Apparently we need to be prepared to be a terrible free-throw-shooting team.

Not good if we're trying to scratch out wins anywhere we can get them.

I really don't understand that.  I feel like that should be one of the easiest things to teach/learn how to at least be decent at.  Shoot FT's until your arms fall off and then keep shooting.
