Huskers Hurt by Familiar Hangups
The Cornhuskers fought hard in Columbia last night, before succumbing to their all-too-familiar weaknesses and losing to a mediocre Tiger team 77-69. Below is our quick-hitting recap as we walked away from the game thinking that even though NU looked outmatched, they competed for 40 minutes and didn't get their doors blown off.
The Good
Lance Jeter--Showed he will be a legit Big 12 PG this season
Toney McCray--Season-high 17 points, maybe he's ready to contribute?
Caleb Walker--Showed he could compete athletically with the Tigers
Free throws--NU shot an uncharacteristic 81%, going 13/16
No blowout--Doc waited until the very end to foul, knowing he couldn't win
Kamyron Brown--Went 1/5 from the field but looked quick enough to help at backup PG
Standhardinger--Transferring to LaSalle....guess top D-I teams weren't blowing him up
The Bad
Brian Diaz--Looked overmatched for the second straight Big 12 game
Andre Almeida--Still too fat to impact the game
Turnovers--15 is too many against the Tigers' overrated pressure defense
Brandon Ubel--Forcing offense he doesn't have in traffic, burned on defense
Athletes--NU is still a full notch below other B12 schools in quicks & hops
10-man rotation--Should be eight, or nine at most!
The Ugly
Three-point shooting--NU went 2/13 in the first half and finished 6/17
Scared cowards--Huskers were timid at the start of both halves, blowing the game
Drake Beranek--He can contribute but being too scared to shoot the three won't cut it
Three-point defense--Mizzou got countless open looks. Just like every NU opponent
Mizzou Crowd--Announced at an untruthful 11,358, the arena was less than half full
--Pathetic puff piece on Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco. Over-praising his 'big arm' is enough to make him the NFL's most overrated player.
Calling him ready to lead the Ravens to playoff wins on his own is just dishonest. Now, we're equating time of possession with a next-level QB? Please. PYB equates them to KC's litany of second-half turnovers. And apparently, Flacco's pissing away of the last Steeler game (and the division championship in the process) in the last minute is nothing but a blip on the radar.
--If you didn't think Kansas City Chiefs' fans were classy before Sunday's meltdown against Baltimore, you had to be convinced after listening to their collection of stadium music: AC/DC, Korn, Metallica, Journey, Motley Crue, Guns N Roses, and Van Halen--all the suspects from the Acid Wish Era. They even pleased PYB with a witty addition to our collection of trite game-explaining songs: After a holding call on the Ravens, fans were blessed with Toto's "Hold the Line." Priceless.
As if that weren't enough, the Chiefs' Wikipedia page proudly points out that the stadium plays "Rock & Roll Part 2" so the fans can chant "We're gonna beat the hell out of you" to the opposing team. But the best part is that they now use a cover version of the song after the original by Gary Glitter was banned following his sexual abuse charges in Vietnam. Me love you long time......Who woulda guessed judging by these before and after pictures or Mr. Glitter.
And if that all weren't enough, the icing on the cake came when Deadspin.com released the picture (now pictures, for some reason) of two scum fans fucking in the parking lot--one in camo coveralls. Then the cherry on the icing was the craigslist.com post asking for two more scums to come join them in a foursome in their van in the parking lot.
--Finally....Hide your kids, hide your wife, they brawlin' at a Florida gas station. This video added at the behest of Crazy Eddie. Why were they fighting? Were they pissed that the white bitch who got stripped down to Nuttin' but her G Thong was screwing one of their men? Who knows, but PYB has not seen this many disgusting naked physiques in one place...since well, never.....Fat bitches, lay off the thongs and short dresses.
