Complete Sports and MOM, Share Your Life With Me....

San Antonio, Indiana, and Oklahoma City advance to the next round of the NBA playoffs.

Dr. Jack Ramsey died this past week. He was legend in basketball and fun to listen to when he was a commentator on television.

The Clippers who have had an interesting week won game seven against the Warriors and advance also in the playoffs. The Clippers have Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan.

I wonder how many years the Sterling affair will last.

California Chrome, the favorite, won the Kentucky Derby by almost two lengths. Can he win the Triple Crown?

Floyd Mayweather r. beat Marcos Maidana by a majority decision last night. More money for him to buy the Clippers. He made $32 million for the fight. He is now 45-0.

Kevin Durant is projected to win MVP in the NBA this year.

Ryan Braun goes to the 15-day disabled list. The Milwaukee Brewer has an oblique strain.

The Vikings did not exercise their option on Christian Ponder for the 2015 season. So it looks like Matt Cassel as their starter.

The Big 10 and Big East will announce an eight year series to begin in 2015-16. So could Nebraska play Creighton twice some years?

The Bleacher Report has ranked the 10 Most Athletic Incoming Freshman in College Basketball in 2014-15.

Wisconsin landed three star OL Jon Dietzen, who goes to high school in Wisconsin. Nebraska had offered him a scholarship.

Denny Hamlin won the Nascar race today at Talledega. Talledaga is one of the more exciting tracks to watch a race thanks to the restrictor plate. Second was Greg Biffle followed by Clint Bowyer, Brian Vickers, and AJ Allmendinger. Tony Stewart was 43rd.

Geno Smith will start over Michael Vick at QB for the Jets this year.

Bob McNair, the owner of the Houston Texans who have the first pick, says Jadeveon Clowney is the best player in the draft. I bet they pick somebody else like the move "Draft Day".

J.B. Holmes won the PGA Wells Fargo golf tournment this week.

Upset Special: Brooklyn Nets beat out Miami!!

Russell Westbrook and Rajon Rondo are the only NBA players with two Game 7 triple-doubles.

Kansas City got swept by the Detroit Tigers this weekend. Time to regroup.

The Cubs trail the Cardinals right now 3-0.

New England will look at the D-line in their first pick.

The Omaha Storm Chasers are 12-16 so far this year. They have lots of new players this year. They should get better as the year goes.

Nebraska baseball have clinched a spot in the Big 10 tournament. Consistency is vital for them.

The NU women's softball team look like they will be Big 10 regular season champs.

Congrats to Joe Kubick and Whitney Billeter for completing the half marathon in the Lincoln Marathon today. Both had very good times. Good job.

I like Sid Dinsdale easily for the US Senate. Great business sense, common sense, conservative Nebraska values, and you can trust him! 

Exactly the same qualities for Tom Carlson for Governor. VOTE FOR TOM AND SID!

At Extreme Rules tonight, THE SHIELD beat THE EVOLUTION tonight!

Nick Fuller redshirted for the NU basketball team this year. He was named lifter of the year and has gotten stronger. He has increased his weight from 192 to 211 lbs. Fuller can shoot and NU would like hi to be a power forward. They would like him to develop into an Ethan Wragge, who played for Creighton.

BJ Day will be on the NU BB team as a walk-on. His dad, Bernard Day, started every game the two seasons he was at Nebraska. Day was a second team Super-Stater at Lincoln Southeast.

Junior College forward Deng Deng tool an official visit to Nebraska this week. He is visiting LSU this weekend. He has also visited Baylor and could make a decision in the next week.

Former Tennessee signee Jordan Comish, a 6-6 shooting guard from New Orleans, has scheduled an official visit to Nebraska next weekend. He is visiting Wake Forest this weekend and will also visit SMU before making a decision.

The NFL draft is coming soon. Stanley Jean-Baptiste is ranked the 7th best corner and the No. 52 player overall and is projected to go in the 2nd or 3rd round. The two other best prospects for the NFL are Spencer Long and Quincy Enunwa. Ciante Evans is a possible draftee.
