Football Report: San Diego State contacts Tony White about head coach position

A coach that doesn't even know the names of his players.....

I for amusement have been watching pretty much all of Deion Sanders press conferences. He routinely forgets his players names or just flat out can't pronounce their names when he's reading from a paper... just refers to "numbers". There are a lot of players on his team that he doesn't even know. He knows his skill position guys though. I would hate to play for a coach like that.

Nebraska v Creighton Bball Tix

If anyone has a couple of Nebrasketball tickets vs Creighton in the lower bowl that you're unable to use and/or willing to part with, please let me know. It should go without saying, but I will be wearing red and hate Creighton -- so you can rest assured that your tickets will not be going to a blue sweatervest-wearing cuck.

Will pay a fair/market price, and would much rather it all go to the ticket holder rather than $100 in fees going to a POS bloodsucking ticket brokerage site.

Basketball WBB: Potts Picks Up Second Big Ten Freshman Honor

Via Nebraska Athletics Communications:
Nebraska's Natalie Potts collected her second Big Ten honor in three weeks, as she was named the Big Ten Women's Basketball Freshman of the Week on Monday, Nov. 27.

The 6-2 forward from O'Fallon, Mo., averaged 14.0 points on 12-of-16 shooting from the field in a pair of games for the Huskers at the St. Pete Showcase (Nov. 23-25). Her week was highlighted by a career-high 22 points on 9-of-10 shooting from the field in a 75-61 win over Lamar on Thanksgiving Day. Potts hit all eight of her two-point field goal attempts and all three of her free throws, while knocking down 1-of-2 three-pointers in a remarkably efficient performance against the Cardinals.

The two-time Missouri MaxPreps High School Player of the Year is leading the Big Ten in field goal percentage (.738), including a scorching 90 percent (27-of-30) from two-point range. Through six games as a starter, Potts is averaging 12.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.0 block. She has hit 33.3 percent (4-12) of her three-point tries and 71.4 percent (10-14) of her free throws.

Potts and the Huskers return to action on Wednesday when they take on Florida Atlantic. Tip-off at Pinnacle Bank Arena is set for 7 p.m., with tickets available now at Huskers.com.
