I beg to differ. I have witnessed such events.

Except south dakota state....but, yeah, otherwise no one.

At this point, any win is a big win. I really hope we do beat Nebraska. They have been playing well.

I predict a weak crowd due to weather.

Surely, he jests.

I work in Omaha and I'm surrounded by tool husker fans...I always want this one a little bit more than the rest. It also gives me a great excuse to break out my favorite husker joke.

What does an Iowa State fan have that a Nebraska fan lacks?
A college degree

Saying "Tool Husker fan" is redundant. Of course.... if you just said Tool, you may be talking about Hawk fans as well.

My bad....I guess "tool Husker fan" is fine.

Not all tools are Husker fans, but all Husker fans are tools.

"Husker fan" is sufficient.

How much would it suck to start out the Big 12 going 0-2? We need this one and I think we will get it.

You shouldn't have any problems in basketball season. All the Husker fans are too busy watching Creighton to bother with their own basketball team - assuming they know it even exists.

There are a surprising number of Nebraska alumni/fans in Austin and "tool Husker fan" describes every last one of them perfectly.

i'm a little worried with the nebraska "5 guard" lineup... i think that it gives us more matchup problems than we have for them... they can atleast be fast and scrappy on defense while they will probably be quicker to the hole and get some layups on offense... i hope that we have a way to counter this and can get the win!! I think we're the more talented team, but they are kinda like Tennessee when it comes to providing some matchup problems... no they are not as good as Tennessee, I said they were like Tennessee in the fact they provide problems for us...

I just hope Craig shows up tonight with a Houston-esque game and maybe we can play a little zone against a, at best, average shooting team... they shoot it at a decent percentage when they shoot it, but rank 9th in 3-pointers made in the conference.

Dribble penetration has me worried tonight.

But on the flip side, they gotta be worried about our post guys.

**im4iast8** · 01-14-2009, 09:34 AM

this could be the lowest scoring game ever! haha we both rank in the bottom 2 in scoring offense and both the top 2 in scoring defense in the conference... we average .1 more PPG than they do while they give up 5.4 PPG less than we do... atleast the games aren't played by average!
