Our Youth concerns me (OT)

Off season so quick comment on an OT matter. I believe most of those that read this board at a minimum reside in America and frankly most were born here. We are Husker fans clearly by our frequenting of this page. What I want to ask is whether anyone here observes a decline in our youth or perhaps could they be accelerating? My sister is a teacher and says that most kids these days are matter of factly dumb. But was this always the case? Ultimately I think there is a Kenny Bell curve to consider. Some kids are going to be at the bottom and some at the top 10% whereas 80% might be what my sister classified as matter of factly dumb. It’s a pickle of a question but what say you?

Are kids today smarter than kids of yesteryear? Or is our youth matter of factly declining in intelligence?

Sam Hoiberg

Deserves his own thread. Another great game today vs Minnesota. He adds a spark and makes plays on offense and defense! Closed the door on Maryland and Minnesota back to back.

B1G Network said no one wants to play Nebraska in the B1G Tournament right now. Agree with that assessment, especially if Hoiberg plays more. GBR

Baseball BSB FINAL: Nebraska 15, South Alabama 3

We're back for game two of this three-game series between Nebraska (1-3-1) vs. South Alabama (4-2).

Another fun pitching matchup today as it's RHP Jace Kaminska (0-0, 4.76 ERA, 5.2 IP) vs. LHP Conard Gehrig (0-1, 1.80 ERA, 5.0 IP). Another potential pitching dual between those two.

As always, HRN has it covered on radio, but today's game will also be streamed on ESPN+.

Nebraska received its first win yesterday thanks to some key pitching from the bullpen including over two innings of one-run ball from Shay Schanaman plus the first career save for Kyle Perry who retired three straight after letting the game-tying run on base. It wasn't all pretty as HBP continue to be a big problem as the Huskers hit six more batters, plus four walks. They'll have to limit the free passes today. Here's the recap from last night:


Plus, here's the series preview to get you ready for today and the series finale tomorrow at 1 p.m.

Basketball Final: Nebraska 78, Minnesota 67

Big game today in a sold-out Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Minnesota (7-19, 1-15 Big Ten) is a bad basketball team, but Dawson Garcia can hoop and the Gophers didn't back down the first time these two met in Minneapolis, which was a Husker win in overtime.

Nebraska (14-14, 7-10 Big Ten) is hoping to continue the hot streak it's been on. Keep this up, finish out the regular season strong and maybe steal a game or two in the Big Ten Conference Tournament, and the NIT is likely, in my opinion. Any kind of postseason play would benefit the program and the young guys getting minutes on this team.

Here's a bit of pregame reading:

OT: As I've gotten older, my grammar and spelling has gotten worse. Are my faculties diminishing?

Today, I was editing an Email before sending it out to a large group at work. I spelled the number TWO as too. And this wasn't auto correct, I was on my laptop.

Later on in the day, I was chatting with one of the team members who report to me and I wrote the word NO when I was trying to state I "know."

I've also recently started using their in place of there and seem to be oblivious to they're.

Am I suffering from early onset dimentia? Hell, did I even spell dimentia correctly?
