5 Possible Reasons Jordy Tshimanga Didn’t Travel with the Nebraska Cornhuskers to Penn State
Sophomore center, Jordy Tshimanga, is not with the Nebraska basketball team as they travel to Happy Valley for their Friday night game against the Penn State Nittany Lions.
The reasons behind this apparent defection from the roster are a little murky, with some sources reporting yesterday that Tshimanga was going to transfer and others that Tim Miles and his staff were going full boy band and trying to convince the 6'11" Center to give them another chance.
While Tshimanga is coming off the best game of this season, a 6 rebound 9 point performance in a win against Wisconsin that can only be described as “nice!”, he has struggled to stay on the court for the Huskers during the majority of this season with inconsistent play, minutes, and a propensity for racking up fouls.
All of that being said, to many around Husker nation this potential departure comes as a shock. So, let’s take a look at 5 possible reasons Jordy is potentially leaving the team.
1.the super-Italian Jim Molinari won’t stop bumping him with his elbow while they’re waiting in line at the team’s training table and saying, “More like Jordy Tsh-Mangia! Am I right?”
2. It is literally colder than Quebec in Lincoln right now. This is not made up, nor me taking a teenage white girl liberty with the word “literally” and using it when, in fact, it’s the exact opposite of something literal. This is not a Chinese conspiracy or a typo. Lincoln, Nebraska is colder than a place in Canada right now and it was yesterday too.
Seriously. It’s been so cold here that I saw a guy vape a snowman on my way to work today. At this point, Jordy’s hometown has probably been looking like Palm Springs to him.
3. He’s a man! He’s Jordy! And, sometimes (read: all the time) men do dumb stuff. This? This is one of those times. (*Author’s note: so was this joke. But I did shout this everytime he scored any points in a game.
4. Maybe, at long last: Jordy Tshimanga finally caught them all.
Yes, maybe this 6'11" catcher of Charizards has hatched his last Poké ball — caught somewhere in the depths of Memorial stadium’s elite Pokémon Go training facilities and has now set his sights on another, more fertile hunting ground.
5. He’s starting a super deep-underground rap cover group called “E-Jordy”. He will be immediately joined by Jordy Nelson next year when Nelson inevitably gets injured.
