2014 Highlights
2014 was a very eventful year for NU and Nebraska sports. It was easy to pick No. 1 highlight but then after that it became harder. These were the feel good moments!
1. Bud Crawford defends his WBO Lightweight Championship against Yurkorkis Gamboa at the CenturyLink in Omaha. In June I saw the best sporting event I have ever witnesses when my brother and I went to this boxing event. The crowd was absolutely crazy. Michael Buffer is better in person than he is on TV. Unbelievable. Crawford won in a knockout in the ninth round in a spectacular ending!! The boxing crowd likes to have fun! I am so glad I attended this. I had been following Terrance Crawford for the past few years and now he is the champ! He fount in November again and won in a decision against Raymundo Beltran. Watched that one on TV but it didn't have the pizzazz as the first fight.
2. Nebraska beating Wisconsin in a No Sit Sunday crowd on March 9th to go to the NCAA tournament. Nebraska upset No. 9 Wisconsin 77-68. Terran Petteway had 26 points and 10 rebounds and this crowd cheered NU on the whole game. There was no quiet moments. NU finished the year 19-11. NU went to the NCAA tournament for the first time in many years. Also Mike Peltz proposed before the game.
3, Creighton beating Providence at the CenturyLink. Creighton beat Providence 88-73. This was the first Creighton game I have been to at CenturyLink. They have great fans. Doug McDermott hit for 45. This was his last home game. He is part of the 3000 club. It was Senior Night. Creighton was headed to the NCAA tournament. Great atmosphere.
4. Ameer Abdullah breaking six, seven, eight tackles for NU to beat McNeese St. in the final seconds. Tremendous run by Abdullah. Great win at the end in a game that wasn't supposed to be close. Relief and a victory.
5. Nebraska volleyball beating Washington on their home floor in the NCAA tournament. I watched this one on the tube but I couldn't leave the room. Great young team!
Nebraska has hired Andy Vaughn to be the Director of Football and Recruiting Operations. He comes from Nevada and has ties to Clemson.
Jack McVeigh is a 6'8" shooting guard is making an official visit to Nebraska. He played for the Australian U-18 national team and averaged 24.3 points and 10.3 rebounds. He is also making an official visit to LSU. It looks like it is down to those two teams.
Akoy Agau has two years of eligibility left and will have an unofficial visit to Nebraska. He has had visits to Marquette and Missouri-Kansas City and has Georgetown and Wichita State as teams he wants to look at. He was on the Louisville team but decided recently to transfer. He has to sit out two semesters. So he could start to play a year from now if he gets enrolled at Nebraska this semester.
Suh has been suspended from the first playoff game but is appealing.
The Minnesota Timberwolves is the worst team in the NBA.
The Boston Celtics are one of the worst teams!
The Lakers are in the bottom ten teams of the NBA.
The Miami Heat are now in the bottom half of the NBA,
The best team right now could be the Houston Rockets!
Michigan has hired Jim Harbaugh. Mike Riley was his head coach at San Diego.
Jimmy Butler continues to put up huge numbers for the Bulls.
Dallas had the second fewest sacks in the NFL this year. Way to coach Bill Callahan.

Sports Shorts! Rex Burkhead has a touchdown!
Rex Burkhead had three carries for fourteen yards today. He also scored on a ten yard touchdown. YES!!!
Nebraska men's basketball pulled out a stressful, error filled game last night versus Cincinnati. It was so bad that I almost turned the channel. Nebraska is definitely not big and they don't have much for shooters after Petteway and Shields and sometimes Pitchford. But they do fight and claw and hustle. That's what won them the game last night in two overtimes.
Now the really sad projection. Pomeroy, which rates by computer the college football teams, has Nebraska at No. 84. They have dropped twenty places in the past week. Pomeroy projects Nebraska to have a record of 13-15 and going 7-11 in the Big 10. Right now that seems believable but Coach Miles makes them better every year so let's see what happens this year.
NU's next game is December 23rd at Hawaii. Hawaii is 6-3. NU should win that game!
Kudos to the NU volleyball team. They were great against Washington. They weren't too bad against BYU but BYU swept in three. NU is very young. Next year they will start the season rated pretty high I would guess.
Calvin Strong leads the World-Herald's All Nebraska team. In fact this will be his third year in a row to win All Nebraska running back.Will Nebraska offer him a scholarship now? Talent wise he looks a lock-in so there must be some other problems he is having for us not to jump on him. Right now Strong is a South Dakota recruit.
CJ Johnson is a wide receiver at Bellevue West. He is a recruit at Wyoming. Nebraska may try to get him now also. We will see.
Johnny Manziel was bad today!! Only looks to get better.
Four star rated offensive guard Jalin Barnett has Nebraska now his favorite school to attend. Oklahoma is also recruiting him. Jalin is rated 136th overall player in the country , seventh at his position and the 3rd best player in Oklahoma. Barnett is from Lawton, Oklahoma. He visited NU this weekend.
Tight end recruit Matt Snyder from San Ramon, California is committed to Oregon St. but visited NU this weekend. Snyder was blown away by the visit. Snyder has a three star rating and has other offers from California, Colorado St., Fresno St., and Utah St.
Adrienne Talan visited NU this weekend. He is a three star outside linebacker out of Pembroke Pine, Florida. His offers are from Oregon St., Temple, and Nebraska.
Three star Nick Thomas visited this weekend from Bradenton, Florida. He is an inside linebacker. He has committed to Wisconsin but is looking now with the coaching change. He has offers from Hawaii and Nevada also. He plans to make a decision by the end of the week.
Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin said that Nebraska, outside of Louisville, has the best arena he has been in. Awesome praise

Nebraska men's Basketball tonight!!
Prediction:
Nebraska plays Incarnate Word who are 5-1 with their only loss to UTEP 81-65. I think tonight will be a similar score but Nebraska has to get more than two scorers shooting well. Teams are overplaying Shields and Petteway and challenging the rest of the team to go ahead and shoot. Against Creighton there wasn;t really anybody else. Yes, Rivers hit a few points but we have to get better. I thought Abraham was a plus when he was in the game. Wished he would have played more in the second half because Creighton dominated us underneath.
Nebraska 82
Incarnate Word 67
