I posted this elsewhere - Interesting Cig quote from this morning: "I don't put up with BS. I'm a little bit old school. You've gotta meet the bar. And if you can't consistently meet the bar, you're in the wrong place."

It's become quite hilarious to see the pundits slobbering with their 5-star Bubba Booba is set to visit O$U/any SEC school/ND/etc. Or 5-star Booba Bubba has cut his list to - see same list above. Someone remind me again exactly how many 5-stars we have on the #1 ranked and undefeated team in the country. Interesting Cig quote from this morning: "I don't put up with BS.

Jan. 9-11 the Laporte Invitational in Laporte, IN. Vaughan Karvala and Bella Vista scheduled to play Sat. and Sun. Davion Thompson and Link Acad. play Fri. and Sun. Several other high profile games as well. And if you're in that area, you might try a meal at the Heston Supper Club. https://laporteinvitational.com/schedule/ https://hestonsupperclub.com/

Get the euphoria out of your systems because the Huskers are undefeated (15-0) (4-0) and are not going to be a pushover. They average 81 ppg with a +15 margin shooting 47% FG and 34% on 3s. In comparison, they've limited their opponents to 38% and 30% respectively. They average 38 rpg with only a +2 margin so our usual weakness in rebounding may not be as glaring as it has been in many games. They protect the ball with just 10 TO/gm. Rienk Mast at 16.3ppg is their leading scorer; 2 other players average double figures. 5 players average 35% or more on 3s. Mast is also the leading rebounder at 6.6/gm. followed by Buyuktuncel at 6.4 and Sam Hoiberg at 5.1. Their assist/turnover ratio is just under 2.0. Would be a statement win if we can pull it off Radio Live Stats

Us 73 84

Clearly with the information we've gleaned thus far, Gowers is clearly a 'cut' above your average punter and on the 'cutting' edge of new punting techniques. Also reported he has a 'razor' sharp mind and won't ever try to 'nick' you into paying his bar bill. At least that's the 'buzz' I've heard. Have a great day mates.

Obviously good news but it could also just be a little bit of smoke on our part.

"Must win game" is an overused phrase, but road wins will be few and far between and this was not a game we could afford to lose. Slow start, but they got the job done. Good win.

Just keep reminding yourselves we have the #1 football team in the whole country. It will help keep bp levels under control.

Had to check in on one of my most favorite high school players to watch. Had an IU offer but it was never going to go anywhere. His height doesn't seem to have been too detrimental to his jump to major college basketball. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/chance-mallory-1.html#all_last5

What's up with Miles?

Another game, another romp for Couer d'Alene 65-31 over Post Falls. Colvin only played 3 quarters and running clock kicked in for the 4th. 38p, 6r, 4a, 4s, 0b, 1t Started out 1-5 on 3s; finished 5-10. I'm confident that every 3 she attempted was beyond the college 3-point arc. Couple were way too long and she missed badly. Team is now 13-2 and her stat line: 28.9p, 8.3r, 5.0a, 5.8s, 1.2b, 2.6t 44% FG, 32% on 3s, 83% FT

I yell that all the time when I'm running to the bathroom!

Cig has the golden goose and I can't imagine him dealing with NFL egos.

How about Sonny Bono?
