Hightower is reffing?

and for some reason

btn2go.com won’t let me log in

It's been hating on me all year

so I’ll rely on the smooth sexy voice of Greg Sharpe to carry me through again.

The Only Reason I'm Watching This...

Don't look now....

But I think we look good enough to win this. Just saying…oh shit it’s 12-7 them. Nevermind.

Is it just me, or does Kevin Kugler sound like he’s swallowing his throat? I love him, but damn..

It's his alma mater...

…and this is downright painful to watch….

Or sad.

Anyway, he’s trying to call this straight for a national audience. He can tell us next week what he really thinks…

Painful.

Lincoln Library In Effect

I’m surprised there’s THAT many fans there.

man

my legs are sore as hell…. finally went to bed about 7:30 am, didn’t sit down a lot last night.

Dylan Talley with a nice basket...

Illini up 24-16 with 6 :38 left in the first.

Husker Mike - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

24-18, sorry.

Husker Mike - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

Pay Atten.....I Said Pay Attention Here

dude reading a magazine in the stands there

okay, so maybe it’s the program….

nice

three by Spencer, even on the move.

pump and jump.

24-21 and then Illinois turnover – 5:49

then

Spencer walks. A really bad walk.
as in, stop dribbling, then take two steps walk.

DOH!

nice drive and score

makes it a one point game!

he says, excitedly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Walker

with a JAM to take the LEAD 25-24!

WohooO!!!!

Husker Take The Lead

We’ve got a heartbeat, folks.

hey

nice set of series or whatever….

Talley fouled after a steal, so Talley be shooting when we come back.

Wow

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!

I 'm waiting for a Frank the Tank tweet...

Though I think he’s already given up on this season and Weber…

Husker Mike - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

ahhahaah

Illinois has our ick all over them.

11-0 run by the Big Red...

…and they have some momentum…

Husker Mike - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

Is KFC still open?

Huskers By 7???

hahaah

is that Fox that basically bumped that guy all the way into the corner?

Just Like Coach Weeks Taught Him @ Beatrice

this is the kind of defense

we should have been playing all season

Hey, we're winning!

I just noticed there was a game right now, I’m definitely ok with this winning thing.

twinsgirl197 - February 18, 2012 reply

Richardson!

With a three! leading by seven now!

:30 left

Illinois

can’t even get a shot off!

bahahhwhahahwaaaa

Above 50% on both FGs AND 3 pointers?

The second half continues the way the first half ended...

Huskers now on a 22-2 run and lead by 12z

Husker Mike - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

A slam dunk!

And the Huskers now lead by 16. That’s not a typo. 42-26.

Husker Mike - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

what the hell

19 point lead????

Yeah we did

Lost by 5 or so at Assembly Hall

And it's now 47-28.

It’s a 31-4 run over the last twelve minutes for the Big Red.

Husker Mike - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

Maybe it's me.

If that's the case then from what I said last night...

I’m sorry

Hahahahaha

I guess we’ll find out, then!

WTF????

I go take a shower and they precede to open up a can of whup-ass on Illi??

56-31

11:35…

okay, the Spencer hits a three 59-31.

So it sounds like the guys are doing really good right now,

Of course that’s after my parents steal the TV…

twinsgirl197 - February 18, 2012 reply

something like

a 43-7 scoring advantage.

It's a 43-7 run folks...

Unfrickin ridiculous… Huskers by 29.

Husker Mike - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

we'll

do another baseball thread tonight.

i’m not doing much of write-up thought…. too fried from last night.

Here or at the other thread from yesterday?

Illinois

pressing after each basket, dead ball.

hahahaha

Talley drives underneath, kicks out to Walker, three pointer!

62-34

Just got home,

and what the hell is going on? We’re up 28? OMG!

we

we've done very little wrong in this one

Bad juju GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you survive last night, Jon?

yeah

kind of fried, but it was fun.

doing better than the rest of the family. :)

I'm still here...just not watching.

Are you afraid

you’re the jinx?

Yes.

Then get thee

to thy lab, and conjur up some anti-juju potion. We need you here.

30 POINT LEAD

hahahahaha. This is fun to watch!

OK, The Big Question

Does Doc keep his job? Or is the damage already done?

i think it's already done

unless they maybe go crazy during the B1G tournament

but, I’m not Tom Osborne either.

They got 4 more games left

2 are probable losses
2 are winnable

After the regular season I guess we will see

Let's not make too much of one game...

Remember that Billy C took Kansas State just before he was fired.

If the Huskers play like this the rest of the season, though, then it’s likely Sadler would return…

Husker Mike - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

what an absolutely

gorgeous alley oop to Caleb Walker.

They just replayed it

about six times…just as fantastic as the first!

Is It ESPiN Sportcenter Worthy?

i'd say yes

Definitely.

The sound of it alone should qualify it.

what the hell

this is just amazing offense.

they’re doing whatever they want.

amazing they can look this good but have been so incredibly awful all season

Who is this team?

79-48 Huskers. So fun!

Now a technical on Hilliard.

be nice

if we could somehow keep this mojo for the rest of the season and go into the tourney with it

My 5 year old

son Brook, keeps asking how we have x number of points..

I keep saying the same thing: “I dont know, son.”

2:10 left

and Nebraska clears the bench

now

just turning into a pick up game.

which is kind of nice that it’s on our side

WTF was that dude crying for earlier?

I mean, seriously crying because you’re losing? What a bunch of of candyasses.

Maybe injured or hurt?

I hope so

Cuz that’s horrible.

probably

the additive affect of how badly Illinois has done lately. especially in Big Ten play..

Can you imagine the look on Brian's face when he logs on...

…and sees the score?

Husker Mike - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

80-57 final

Huskers WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

80-57

Ballgame!

Adios bad juju!

That looks freakishly

like my brother’s cat. Well, if you add like 10 pounds

twinsgirl197 - February 18, 2012 reply

So...what changed?

Congrats

You guys just got a well earned coach’s scalp. Hopefully your program can elevate so this kind of blowout becomes seen as a mark of your team’s quality rather than the need to fire the other coach. The fact that just about every Big Ten basketball game is on TV makes it a really great sport to get invested in.

Seer - February 18, 2012 reply

We're working on investing.

Unfortunately, it’s kind of like inheriting your great-uncle’s mansion only to discover there was a natural gas explosion, nuclear waste accident and a zoo escape on the property.

Hey Jon we staying here for the baseball game or to the other thread?

Doc,

I think Jon’s going to start a new thread.

i thought he said he was too tired for that
