Cannot begin to tell you what this meant to me. #Nebrasketball.
No better way to cap your 1,000th career call than by breaking down the @HuskerHoops team huddle. ✊. Cool scene at PBA Sunday:

Relationships are the bedrock of meaningful experience. Together, we share the joy and divide the grief. This season has been like none other and we’ve all become abundantly richer & connected in spirit. Thanks to our listeners. We ❤️ you all! .🏀👍📻🎤🙂

This much I know - Greg lived a life too rich to describe. I know because we shared the joy and responsiblity of a very special calling. 📻🎙️🏀🏈⚾️ I believe that all we are is what we leave behind. Greg has left us, but his legacy will endure indelibly.

Coach Nee wanted me to pass along his best wishes to Husker Nation ahead of the game. And this, to the @HuskerMBB team: “I am very excited for all of you. Find a way to win & be the first team to do this. Beat A&M.” ❤️🎤📻🏀@HuskerMBB @Huskers

I want to apologize for the tweet I posted which used an image of a movie called Red State. I had no idea the movie was about hatred and violence. My intent was to celebrate Nebraska’s basketball win and I didn’t take the time to see what it is about.

Keeping in mind what truly matters while #Nebrasketball does its best to make our great state proud, @jakemule and I dedicate our broadcast between the #Huskers & Wiscy to folks back home who’ve been impacted by the devastating floods. All of us send our thoughts & prayers.

Hard to believe it’s been almost 50 years ago that I broadcast my 1st @HuskerMBB game - Joe Cipriano was the coach. I remember it like yesterday. Anyway, this is season # 37 for me I believe and I’m going out on a limb: this year NU wins an @ncaatourney game! #Bangarang 📻🎤🏀

And to complete full disclosure about my All Big Ten ballot, I voted @CoachMiles for coach of the year. Call me a homer or whatever you want, he and that staff delivered one of the most remarkable turnaround jobs I’ve witnessed in my years behind the 🎤.

All I know is - many old, retired folks who’ve paid for their homes, but are on fixed incomes, are forced to sell because of the combination of property taxes, insurance & utilities. It’s no joke. It’s reality. I’ve seen it first hand in my neighborhood. It’s not right.

I knew and loved Calvin as a kid before he played, when he played as I called his games, and all the years after. Calvin Jones was a friend of mine. And how achingly I miss those days behind the microphone. I was so proud of him. I think you can hear it in my voice. 😥🎤📻🏀🏈.
Calvin Jones memorium. 1991 Nebraska vs Oklahoma. It doesn't get much better than this!. A dreadful weather day. A juiced up @KentPavelka .A gaping hole. and Calvin Jones scores the game-winning touchdown!

Bye Bye! Good luck with your site. 🏀📻🎤😡.
Serious question on a Friday - how many of you really care about this? .I realize Nebraska wants to compete in every sport, but is that reality in the current landscape? .Why would we bother pumping money into this sport when we have so many others that are more successful?

I’m sure Coach Nee won’t mind me passing this to all you @HuskerMBB fans. He sent this to me after the championship win Sunday: “I watched the game today. Second half —was really impressive- great tournament! -picture are really cool -congrats- thanks for ur friendship❤️”

I could have missed it, but the CBS guys calling the Michigan vs. Wisconsin game had little or nothing to say about #Nebrasketball in the @bigten hoops race/standings. Once again, it's all about Purdue, Ohio State, Michigan State & Michigan. #SickofThis.

After this #Nebrasketball win over #1 Purdue, I’ll think about this @HuskerMBB roster, coaches & staff as long as I live. Just as I’ve thought ever since about the 1982 team’s win over #1 Missouri - 41 seasons and apart. I’ll never forget doing the broadcasts either. 📻 🎤🏀

Ok, #Huskers beat Michigan by 20, got beat by KU on a last second shot, and beat NIT champion Penn State. Somehow, I’m feeling like I should have a headset on somewhere and not be watching all this in my living room. #Nebrasketball

#Nebrasketball program from 59 years ago tonight. I was a 15 year old kid at the Coliseum in Lincoln & watched Fred Hare flip the ball in with his back to the basket to beat Cazzie Russell’s unbeaten and #1 ranked Michigan Wolverines. I had a dream to broadcast @HuskerMBB🎤📻🏀

I wonder how much the college basketball world is paying attention to @CoachHoiberg’s #Nebrasketball recruiting haul. If this group can put it together this winter, a significant #gobsmack may be on the way.

Whatever it takes to be there for a #Nebrasketball NCAA Tournament win. Just prop my ashes up next to the broadcast equipment.
Wow, Sid Hartman is 99 and still on the radio. Hope we get to hear @KentPavelka calling #Nebrasketball games at that age! #NCAAFinalFour #gobigred.
