    Men's Hoops Family Dinner at Vegas Summer League

    Notably absent: oldest player on the Houston Rockets summer roster in Las Vegas is one Miller Kopp. Listed as age 27. Got in 10+ minutes oncourt vs Toronto last night. 0-5 from the field. Was he even invited to the Family Dinner?

    Jack Lausch!

    Agree. A quck random check of another program (Texas Tech) that isn't close to being a conference leader. They have 8-9 players with batting averages over .300 and no one with anything close to Lausch's strikeout ratio. Strike zone awareness seems to be a problem, and the pros (not just MLB)...

    2026 NUSB Thread

    Much appreciated. You really know your SB!

    Volleyball Team

    I'd not heard of this event. Presumably each conference is represented by what's regarded as its two best teams. NU may not be chopped liver but its squad would receive few if any votes for that level at this time. It'll be greatiwhen that happens in future "challenges."

    POLL: Do you want to see Nebraska get their first-ever NCAA win?

    I can speak only to lower levels in which I officiated for many years. Rules only specify that no MORE than five players per team can play at any time; in fact fewer than five are allowable by rule except to start the game. As a standard practice, however, someone on the crew should be...

    NCAA tourney open thread

    I didn't see this on TV but heard a later radio clip of Coach Sendak's post mortem. He even implied that ignoring his request was intentional on the official's part. That's very likely unwarranted. I never called college ball but reffed a good many high school games in which crowd noise could...

    Ex-Cat as Head Coach

    Haven't seen mention on this or earlier board, and in fact I tardily realized the head coach of a Div I women's program is a former Wildcat from the Carmody years. Here's a link: https://hcuhuskies.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/coaches/drew-long/1230 He's had a pretty tough first year...

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Minnesota

    Yes and no question, it was called from the sideline. TV showed Collins give a hands-down "safe" sign, clearly ordering no foul as the Gophers attacked. That's a decision he probably would like to have back.

    Fun player comparison

    You started a fine thread, Cappy.

    NU Baseball

    Saw yesterday's season-opening double-header vs Rice. (Played two due to expected Saturday storm in area.) Quite a difference between the games; first saw balls flying out of the park, while the nightcap was mostly pitchers' duel. In the 2nd, Weaver looked impressive on the mound, providing...

    Fitz to Michigan State

    To CatManTrue: don't know if your meeting is in the Houston area where I live, but I hope your Texas meeting has been a pleasant and productive one.

    We Did Come to Play School!

    Some very good comments on this thread, in my opinion. We don't have to agree with all of them, but for some reason this most resembled sitting in a circle of intelligent folks with strong viewpoints who still respect each other. This old guy thanks you.

    On a lighter note

    Not a typo. Headhunter consistently spells decent as descent. (One of his endearing qualities. :))

    Bajakian was hired away from MSU (Fitz) after 5 weeks to join the Browns. He was getting paid $375K there! 😂

    I too doubt that Fitz is too happy with this development. Not a good look in any business for an important new hire to depart in a few weeks. Speculating here, but one wonders if Bajakian was beginning to feel burnout with duties that are integral to college coaching but mostly don't apply to...
