Hey, you know that really famous basketball movie from your state? I think it's called 'Hoosiers'. It's about this school not known for basketball, has a new coach, loses a player they probably needed, but then comes together and does the unthinkable and beats an established 'basketball school'...

I got the clearance a couple of weeks ago from my doctor to participate in sports again after my knee surgery. Here in New Zealand, sports are pretty low-key unless it's rugby, or to a lesser extent, cricket. My wife got me a phone number of a recreational basketball league (I now refuse to play...

The guys from Entourage reading for the upcoming movie.

Before I moved to London and then New Zealand, my buddies and I had been going to Spring games every year. And don't get me wrong, it was fun to get a taste of Husker football in the off-season. You get to see the new talent coming up, and get a pretense of what the fall may offer. But... ...at...

Christmas shows always seem to be the only thing that get me in the mood lately. Just wondered what some of your favorites are. Mine? 1) A Christmassy Ted - Father Ted 2) Christmas Story - The Andy Griffith Show 3) The Worst Noel - Married...With Children 4) A Very Special Family Guy...

Less than an hour away. C'mon Huskers, pound the Hawkeyes into oblivion!

My second favorite sports team is the Colorado Avalanche. I love hockey. But lately, the Avs have been quite terrible. Lots of young talent, but haven't put it together. Couldn't seem to get a proper game plan in place to get wins. Last year, second to last in the Western Conference. But...

Go watch the broadcast of the 1994 Orange Bowl. Try figuring out how many 'unsportsmanlike conduct' penalties would've been issued against Miami during that game. Then...how many 'unsportsmanlike conduct' penalties would've been issued against Miami....but if it was Nebraska that did all of...

I nominate Cy. Or Gary Busey. Seriously, I have no idea, since I doubt Lane would do it. Anyone know who might get it for the long-haul?

Some of the S.O.S. is ok, but if you could infuse a little bit of fresh beats into time-outs, what would you choose? Here's mine... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDEXUaAjh7E

Had to share.

Just wondering your thoughts...I know everyone has a favorite burger and there is a thread on that, but this is my favorite pub grub. I'd prefer you listed a joint in Nebraska that does both of them well. Here's how stupid I am. I was just back in Nebraska for 6 weeks (I live in New Zealand)...

I thought the PAC-12 conference championship game was bad with attendence, but how many of you are going to book tix for wherever Nebraska goes to? It'd be nice if they got a good following, but after this night...I'm not so sure anyone really cares. A close-fought loss is relevant. A team...
