Not sure if the national football geniuses even bother to do the math. But if they do, the fact that they perpetually overrate Wisconsin and Nebraska means they have to hang some extra L’s on somebody’s team. It’s usually us. My habit is to take whatever win total the scribes predict for the...

Clueless.

You never know until you see them play. Based on the signing hype I was convinced that Durkin would start with Tyson backing him up. When the year started it was pretty clear why those were reversed. I have hope that there are more players this year that “could” be “that guy.” Somebody is going...

“I’ll take Stretches for $200…” or “What is a Stretch?”

He’s listed at 6’8” on the roster, but we know how inaccurate those can be (usually intentional exaggeration or under-reporting for one reason or another). He looks taller than I expected. Thinking of him as a wing anyway (doesn’t look strong enough to be a big). Could be another Bobby Durkin...

There are 8 more seats at the table this year. 11 or 12 just might be possible. I’d say 10 is probable.

We need the next Joe Esposito. He was DBO for Tubby and was a magician at building the non-con schedule. Still had a lot of buy games, but most of the teams finished at or near the top of their conferences, and ended up being SOS positives.

I’ll be surprised if we’re not in the top half. I’d like to be dancing at the end of the season. The top 4 and bottom 4 may separate out from the pack, but the 10 in the middle are a toss up.

I was more amused by the old Nebraska Board of Tourism campaign: “Nebraska…honestly, it’s not for everyone!”

I would have hoped for another athletic big (6’9” guy that plays above the rim), but encouraged by the new guys. Grady’s foot history aside, I’m hopeful we’ll have a healthy team this year. Last year we had 2 guys that never played (Omot only had a few minutes in exhibition) and 3 guys that...

The Vikings just spent a first round draft pick on Caleb Banks. He of the 3-time broken foot. But he has a note from his doctor saying he’s good to go, so nothing to worry about. It’s not like a 6’6” 330 lb guy will put much stress on his foot, right? 🙄 Bad feet worry me.

Frankly, I’m surprised he found a willing suitor.

Five years of foot injury but he still managed to become a 4-star, top 100 recruit?! I trust he’ll be ready to go after a long recuperation. By the way, should we be concerned about JCJ’s foot injury?

Neither are Robert Vaiholla or BJ Omot…

Not sure. All I know is if they start doing that, it ism 1000 times more likely that a team like MN will get punished than a blue blood (like my moniker).
