    A question to Indiana...

    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'...

    So this conversation actually happened...

    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...

    Could this concept potentially work?

    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...

    NU football coaching...Colorado Avalanche Hockey...I'm going somewhere with this

    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...

    Shushing the crowd penalty...If you're really bored, try this...

    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...

    So who replaces Jeff Colhane at Sports Nightly?

    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?

    2013 Version...what newer music would you like to hear at Memorial during the game?

    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

    Patty melt...onion rings. Who does them best?

    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)...

    Nebraska Bowl game attendance

    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...

    How do you find/play classic games without viruses/malware?

    Maybe this has been brought up, and if so, direct me to the topic as I didn't see one. I like 'simple' action games. Not because they're 'easy' so to speak, but because you don't have to have a $5,000 Alienware computer and be able to push 14 different buttons at the same time just to have a...

    This quote is why NU could very well be 4-4 on Oct. 28th

    I've kept this article up on my laptop ever since I read it. Not that I want a recap of the NU-OSU game...but what I try to make out of what was said. I read it daily. It never gets any better. It is a quote from DC John Papuchis in the huskeronline.com article from Robin Washut... "It's real...

    What record would 'officially' put Bo on the 'hot seat'?

    This isn't a 'fire Bo' poll. I don't want him fired. I hope they can take the next two weeks to figure out things and beat a Wildcat team that they have to beat for any chance at the Legends division title (more or less). That said, I'm curious as to what regular-season record (not counting a...
