    I live in Baltimore and teach at a high school. This is what my office hours looked like today (you can't see about 10 students watching the game). By the end of it, I think everyone was a husker fan

    I appreciate your work, 49r, and passion for Husker Hoops. I know 99% of those here do.
     
    Many years ago, before most people on this site found it, I and a staff of several others (including several former players and even radio PBP announcers of both men and women) wrote articles on this site daily from November-March. I did interviews with every opponents head coach and a weekly chat with a Husker. We once did the entire Big Red Report magazine basketball preview.
     
    Jay Bilas was on this site. Paul Splittorff. Reid Gettys. Major NCAA Division I referees. Many future NBA players. Etc etc.

    Then somewhere along the way, 4 years into it, I let the hatred of some people burn me out - the non appreciation most showed of all the hard work I was putting in and the several hundred dollars a year loss I was eating. i semi regret it - don't do the same thing as me and walk away.
     
    Thank God HHCMatt saved this site and made it better than ever.
     
    It makes me happy knowing that a little blog I started in 2005 to deal with a breakup in Charlotte, NC. has morphed into what it has. It's all because of the people here.

    I blame myself for allowing KenPom back into the top 10. I completely forgot to pick the MSU game and slipped 6 spots.

    If you fire him,  who in their right mind, is going to come here?  You set the school record for conference wins in a season and it gets you a pink slip?  That sets the program back years.  Doc and Collier were regarded as a good X's and O's coach.  Who was not regarded as an X's and O's coach?  The most successful coach in school history, Nee. Miles gets the Jimmy's and Joe's.

    It's a bunch of the usual suspects on another message board that won't let it go. There's nothing to it.

    I was one of those students who got a donut from Coach Nee that morning in the ticket line. Had a smoke and a beer with him at the old Cliff's years later. He was a loudmouth, East coast, a**hole, but I love the guy...

    swoof reacted to The Polish Rifle in Big Ten Tournament   
    Our schedule just ended up freaking weird. Not a whole lot of opportunities against good teams at home (OSU, Purdue, MSU). Instead of getting a chance against one of those teams, we end up playing our only good win (Michigan) again, in the tournament. Michigan, who is now probably going to be a top 10 team, playing their best basketball of the season. When the chips started to fall, they fell in a bad way for us. All in all, this season is Nebrasketball in a nutshell. We have  a great, team, played their tails off, had a great record, but at the end of the day, the committee has to use metrics, and they just aren't there for us. Its not Miles fault, not the players fault - shit just seemed to line up perfectly for us to be a tournament team this year. Sometimes in life you do everything right, and still don't get the desired result.

    What the heck are you talking about? It's ok to admit that they have a good program. They were impressively able to get out of the MVC and into the Big East. And then you're jumping all over the guy who's running the HHCC contest. This last month on here is going to put everyone on edge. Everyone try to keep their chill, ok?

    He's kind of a goober with his little grab bag of catch phrases he uses over and over on twitter but I find him amusing for that reason, too.
