I thought this was a good breakdown.

FIFY
IDK what it is with Minnesota but our men’s sports teams all seem to play like ass there.

That state brings everyone down except the Somalians

At no point, ever, should we be hoping for Nebrasketball to lose a game. Hell, an undefeated regular season would get a banner hung alone

- Signed Cockeye football team who lost 2 games

I thought this was funny and rewarding.....

Do they recognize that title?

IDK? 🤷‍♂️ I thought they did, maybe not.

I was talking to my wife the other day about Nebraska basketball and Fred. My wife is a really good sports fan, knows more about the inside nature of baseball than anyone else I know (met Sandy Koufax when she was a kid, and he was still playing, lives and breathes Reds baseball, can breakdown rosters like nobodies business).

We were talking about how Fred changed his perception of how to build a roster for the B1G, and it occurred to me that what happened was Fred realized that if he built teams like he did at ISU, and in the NBA, the average B1G team would beat him regularly because they were just big and did the right thing 87% of the time. Not necessarily uber talented, but uber dependable.

So what Fred did was build the best "B1G model basketball team you could imagine". This team is highly dependable in doing the right thing, getting a body on a body, shooting the best option shot, making the best option shot possible with flow and passing. Challenging players who have the ball consistently. Getting position under and around the net so that dribble shots are hard, and rebounding is always in their advantage.

Not necessarily UBER talented, but UBER UBER dependable and knowledgable.

You're right. I checked on it, and they do recognize it.

The defense is what impresses me the most. It’s the reason we stay in games when our shooting goes cold. When our shooting is hot then we blow out teams like whisky.
