    Android App - Request For Assistance

    Tried to write a review online but it said they were "having difficulty processing my request. Please try again later." It was a great review, though ... : )

    ESPN: Woodbury to crack Top 50, possibly Top 25

    I do not know Mr Woodbury, nor do I have any insight into what he is thinking. But one good selling point I would use on him is, "Son, you know Iowa has been down for quite awhile. But, you also know what the Iowa Hawkeye fans are like. They will support you win or lose. Just imagine the support...

    Cubs in KC (roll call)

    My son is home on leave and a Cubbies fan, so the wife and I took him Friday for his birthday. Nice night, nice park and a close game. Couldn't help but laugh at what passes for witty banter at the park though ... "Let's go Cubbies", followed by "Cubbies Suck!!!" ... and naturally, the same in...

    Big Ten Baseball - Do people even care?

    Nebraska baseball is one of the sports I have covered over the last 30 years, and I can tell you, there were games in the 80's & 90's where our crew was larger than the crowd attending. Talk about dismal, uninspiring television.

    Big Ten Baseball - Do people even care?

    Yeah, Jon, I can understand the move , also. Fans in Nebraska were getting antsy for the old days of hosting Regionals and at least having the chance of going to the CWS. I think looking at the RPI, anyone would have to expect Nebraska to compete for the Big Ten title next year. And if they did...

    Big Ten Baseball - Do people even care?

    Yesterday, Nebraska fired their Baseball coaching staff for failing to reach the Big 12 Tourney for the third straight year. Mike Anderson had decent success in the early years, but as the team faltered, the attendance fell. My questions are - Is baseball in the Big Ten a dead or dying sport...

    Pac 12 Just Got Ridiculously Rich

    The Jersey Shore of college football??? Oh my ... so witty ... so cutting ... so intelligent ... LOL ... must be another example of that famed southern charm... LOL "Now, run along, boy... you're bothering me!!!"

    RJ Hunter down to 4

    If he shoots like that in college, I see him getting a lot of shots blocked. His release is too low, which he can get away with being 6'5" in HS. Part of that could be changed by hitting the weights. But how much change can you expect at this stage? Is he so set in his ways he can't change, and...

    Nebraska dumped from AAU

    Actually, the UNMC is yet another separate wing within the University of Nebraska System, along with UNO, which has it's own set of problems, as is evident with their recent decision to drop football and wrestling in a move to Div I and the Horizon League. Had the regents combined the UNMC and...

    Nebraska dumped from AAU

    Nebraska is the first to be removed, but it sounds like more may be coming. None in the Big Ten, I believe, but the AAU has a core group who wants to become a smaller organization. According to one news story, the other Big Ten schools tried to intervene, but to no avail. Part of the problem...

    Unbelievable Fran Video

    I love this interview. I have had the opportunity to listen to many coaches at various levels answer both softball, and some hardball questions, and this guy comes across as so genuine. It's like, "Here I am, ask me anything and I will answer it". A lot of coaches either have the confidence...

    Gessell Spotted with Fran

    I saw Gesell play in the Nebraska Class B State finals and he impressed me more than any other player on any of the 12 teams I saw that day. But then again ... this is Nebraska HS BB. What I really liked about his game is his unselfishness. He started out hitting a few shots from short...

    Hubbard?

    Re: What the heck are you talking about? For basketball... yes. Much less, actually as most Nebraskans don't even talk about their BB team, let alone go to the games. I live in Lincoln and it truly is all about Football, even when Nebraska BB beats a ranked foe. You may have one day of...

    NCAA Basketball Tournament Attendance

    Hey, Omaha got it last year, and they are certainly not a destination spot, especially in March. Could Des Moines have trouble with the Hotel requirements? What does the arena hold? Just curious ...

    Adam Woodbury now 7-1

    Anybody remember the Kennedy brothers from Storm Lake back in the late 60's? I was thinking they were 7' & 6'11". Not sure where they ended up, but I thought at least one went on to play college ball in Arizona.

    I hate this new site!!

    Jon, I'm just weighing in to let you know the site is working fine for me on all my computers, and can't wait for the Droid App, also. Whenever I get a bit frustrated with the speed of my computer on some sites, I remember what it was like back when we just got started with computers. I know, I...

    Tests Show No Illegal Drugs; Parents Confront Ferentz

    Here is where people get into trouble. One article says a parent trusts Kirk and his staff. Another says some parents were frustrated. Then people take the two articles and come up with "the parents were ****** off". Did I miss this article? If I am as angry as some would have us believe (not...

    We Made NBC...

    "Here are the differences btwn nbc and msnbc. One is watched a little, one is barely watched at all." Not to be argumentative, John ... though, maybe a bit nitpicky ... but I would not consider NBC Nightly News average of 10 million viewers as a "little" ... however, your take on MSNBC...

    Should Doyle be disciplined?

    If Doyle is found to have done something wrong, then, and only then should we be talking about discipline. Right now, our concern should be on the 13 players and their health. If anyone really wants to help, don't jump to conclusions, like so many of the national press seems to be doing.
