Is a point guard like USC had with Claude. He controlled the whole game on both ends of the floor. He was aggressive on offense and either made plays in the paint (or made perfect dishes) off. Worster is mediocre at best and while Sam can make some nice plays, he's not physical enough to force the action. Claude was the best player on the floor last night.

Reportedly has an offer for $4.5 million.

I assumed we were full at that position.

Dual just kicked off. Great start from Van Dee with the tech fall to start the match.

Calvin and Derek Brown were two of the first running backs I remember as a kid. Apparently found dead in his basement with a generator running.

Full notebook from this afternoon's media session with Fred Hoiberg before Nebraska flies to Madison for Sunday's noon tip at No. 18 Wisconsin:

Let it all out...

I do not know what to think about this. Is this because the B1G officials started calling this penalty for us finally or just showing how our receivers could not gain much separation last year. Or maybe it is why they could not get separation. We all posted several instances in the season where it was not called as well when it absolutely should have. Anyways fun discussion?

reminds me of how great he was but also of the fact the NU hasn't had a RB dude that can go 80 yards at any given time. It's been years since we have had a guy that can out run nearly everyone on field. Even the great Rex and Ameer weren't guys with 100M sprinter speed. Of all the weaknesses we have had over the last decade or more, not having that true home run RB is as big as any issue we have had.

This afternoon to go PA announce Big 12 wrestling tonite in Greeley featuring the #'s 8, 15, 2, 11 & 29th ranked wrestlers in the nation--Northern Colorado. Sure wish the Bears and the Huskers would've worked out a dual this year. It's UNC's best team ever

Just got back from work and able to watch NU at Michigan, which is halfway through the match. Huskers up 23-0 after the first 5 matches.

Trojans are 11-7 and 3-4 in conference play with a win against Illinois in Champaign.

Nebraska needs to put a halt on a 4 game losing streak.

Who ya got?

NFC...I have very little conviction about it...Eagles.

AFC...the next time Josh takes out Mahomes in the playoffs will be the first time. Chiefs have the better coach, defense, more offensive playmakers, i'm surprised the line isn't bigger. Chiefs

If you had had to bet an amount of money you'd never recover from..not who you're rooting for..who ya got?

Haven't been here in a handful of days... I'm surprised to see nobody has called for banning links to X/Twitter after Elmo's... Antics at the inauguration.
