Game Thread Nebrasketball Game #20: @ Minnesota - Saturday, January 24th, 11:00am FS1

[Baron Winnebago]

My 12 year old daughter who is not into sports walks in while I was watching the game. Her first observation: “Nebraska’s team is really white”

When my kids say that I remind them that the term honky came from white dudes who would drive into black neighborhoods and honk their horn to try to find prostitutes

It's always great to teach your kids things they won't learn in school

UConn might lose today and stay ahead of Nebraska with 2 losses

20-0 and somehow we will be ranked behind a 2 loss Purdue and a one loss Michigan.

Beat Michigan at Michigan and we might move up to 6.

UCON in a close in too.

Every time Garcia comes into the game I think of this skit

drive into black neighborhoods and honk their horn to try to find prostitutes

What’s awesome about this run is that while we stack up wins, I simultaneously know more about basketball each game

I’m an expert at breaking down ball now.

Was I the only one that noticed that every time they showed a Minnesota fan, they were old and scowling and that was even before we took the lead? What a bunch of miserable cunts up in Minneapolis...

The real question is, if Illinois beats Purdue today do the pollsters have Illinois jump Nebraska

 

[TampaBaySkers]

You gonna try it in north O tonight ?

Nice of the FS1 studio crew to literally not even mention the game we just played.

It was recorded. That's why they didn't reference the game. But the stranger thing is they didn't mention a single B1G player in the Freshman or other Player of the Year candidates. I think they mentioned only Big 12 guys? This was a pre-recorded segment that they knew was running after a B1G game (so you'd have a B1G audience there).

But the bigger story is: It's such a stark difference from how ESPN approaches their SEC broadcast partner games. They shine the SEC players and coaches because they know that's what their fans want.

FS1 just did a Mid-year POY 5-min discussion for a B1G audience and didn't mention a single B1G player. Just very very very odd.

They’ve got issues right now

UConn is losing to Villanova and Houston has their hands full at TT right now. Let’s see how many 2 loss teams they rank ahead of us…

In all seriousness, I think if (big if) UConn and Houston lose we’ll be no.4 on Monday. I think Duke and Michigan would be the only 1 loss teams ahead of us.

Let see how you feel about that after the game on Tuesday night.

life is wasted bitching about things you can’t control, particularly pre-emptively

Too bad Villanova sucks hairy dick.

 

[Frogsker30]

Novas ahead of #2 UConn with a minute left

They would be up 20 if they didn't suck so bad offensively. Uconn not playing well.

I have said it before but some of you guys need to watch more B1G basketball and realize our league just has trash refs. They aren't out to get us.

Although it feels like they are, I completely agree with you. Calls made on us that really shouldn’t be called at crucial times or when we seize momentum.

Trash refs!
