WAY OT: Joe Rogan and Wesley Huff

Intro Rant
===================================
I am far from a regular Rogan listener or fan. I think he's actually a phenomenal interviewer but I get annoyed when he talks authoritatively about things that are WAY out of his expertise. Overall though, watching clips here and there are generally entertaining and I have a high respect for his willingness to have guests of ALL walks of life. I've never bought into that "you have platform and a responsibility to only expouse _____ ideas".
===================================

That being said...

Joe's podcast had on Wesley Huff who is an Ancient Near Eastern manuscript expert and a critical Biblical apologist.

Wes is extremely intelligent and well educated. His background is diverse (born in the middle east spent a lot of his life outside the US) and he's very eloquent and the majority of the conversation is about textual history (both Biblical and non).

If that's the kind of thing that interests you, here's a short (3 hours) discussion between Joe and Wes:

The only background you need is another atheist youtuber named Billy Carson (a former guest of Rogan) was set to have a conversation with another podcaster who invited Wesley on to have the conversation in his place because he wasn't equipped to answer his questions.

Wesley then goes on to just tear apart all of Billy Carson's arguments against the veracity of the Bible and quoting books that Billy was saying spoke against it, etc. He tried to sue Wes and sent cease and desist letters, etc.

It blew up on YouTube and that's how Wesley got an invite to be on Rogan's show.

Anyway, I realize not many will watch a 3 hour podcast (I watched on 1.5x speed haha) but it's gripping...at least to this ANE history nerd.

Pretty Sure He Hasnt Been Active Here In Like 8 Years But...

Word came through on the national board that Nupist passed away on Christmas day.

He was a little...well. He had his own personality. I believe he was ran off the home board many years ago. But I grew to like the guy, faults and all.

Just passing it along for the few who might remember the guy who might want to know the news.

GBR.

Progress was made...

Are we where we want to be? No.

Did we make progress? Yes.

Try to enjoy the progress and the journey. I have no idea what that means next year.

What I do look forward to....

Dylan a year older. He struggled but he's still young. I think he can be pretty damn good sooner than people think.

Barney is a bad ass as they say....Lloyd should be much better next year. I feel like he should have gotten more looks this year.

Can't wait to see Carter Nelson and HH play next year at whatever position they end up at.

Hope Fidone comes back and proves people wrong. Markway is intriguing.

Shavers and McGahee are electric..looking forward to seeing more. Lenhardt played well yesterday...he has a chance to be pretty good.

Thank gawd for Ceyair Wright....I hope J Wright gets another year.

Mekhi Nelson will be fun to see what he can do.

Excited for Donavan Jones.

Goodbye Robinson and NUTMASHER, hello Van Poppel, Davis and Juedy. We can hope...

I think people under estimate how the young talent we have will step up next year. Yes, we lose KEY Sr's but the team overall is young.

Let's go win the off-season..Can't wait.

Basketball Britt Prince named National Freshman of the Week


Prince Captures National Honor

Lincoln - Nebraska women's basketball point guard Britt Prince was named to the U.S. Basketball Writers Association Team of the Week when the organization announced its award winners on Tuesday, Jan. 21.

The 5-11 point guard from Omaha was named the USBWA's Freshman of the Week for the first time following her 22-point performance in Nebraska's 87-84 overtime win at Iowa (Jan. 16). The two-time Nebraska High School Player of the Year at Elkhorn North connected on a career-high five three-pointers, including a clutch step-back three to tie the game at 75 in the closing minute to help the Huskers erase an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit against the Hawkeyes.

She added two free throws with 2.8 seconds left in front of 15,000 hostile Hawkeye fans to send the game to overtime. Prince added seven rebounds and a career-high six steals against the Hawkeyes in a tremendous all-around performance.

Prince, who was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week on Monday, followed with an impressive 14-point, seven-rebound effort in Nebraska's 31-point win over visiting Wisconsin at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln on Monday night.

During Nebraska's current five-game Big Ten winning streak, Prince is averaging 16.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 3.0 steals to help Nebraska move to 15-4 overall and 6-2 in the Big Ten. The only conference losses for the Huskers have come at No. 1 UCLA and No. 4 USC in back-to-back games over the holiday break.

Prince, who has scored in double figures 14 times in her 18 starts including four 20-point performances, is averaging 13.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and a team-leading 1.9 steals for the Huskers.

Prince earned Nebraska's first USBWA Freshman-of-the-Week award since current senior Alexis Markowski captured the honor on Jan. 11, 2022. In between, Markowski (2022) and Natalie Potts (2024) were named Big Ten Freshmen of the Year for the Huskers.

Nebraska puts a Big Ten-best 15-game home winning streak on the line Sunday when the Huskers play host to No. 12 Ohio State in Pack PBA. Tip-off with the Buckeyes is set for 2 p.m. (CT), with tickets available now at Huskers.com.
