Busch Light Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 I’ve been super positive throughout nearly all of Doc and Miles tenure. It’s time to start winning in men sports though. This athletic department is too well-funded, our facilities are too good, and our fans are too passionate to continue down this path of mediocrity. It’s time to shake things up. Quote

Fullbacksympathy Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 His role is pretty operational based on the description. It would be super tedious to replace him given what he oversees. The home games I’ve been to were very smooth and entertaining experiences, and I’m pretty sure he’s overseeing that experience. I don’t think his job has anything to do with the basketball product on the court. Quote

Honestly, yes. That is not only annoying or patronizing. Have they ever prevented anyone from sneaking something in. Staff at memorial generally does a better job at almost everything then PBA. Quote

We have terrible marketing and our web presence is about the worst I've seen in a power 5 school. That website is a disorganized monstrosity. But hey, the cheerleaders still look okay, so I'll give him a pass there. Except due to an accident that happened decades ago, we are the only school in the conference with no yell squad. Outside of being nice to look at, the cheerleaders/scarlets add very little to the game. The students are louder than the cheer leaders. Maybe it's just me...but i miss the days of the old "Defense, Defense". mwm89 1 Quote

They want to make sure he's not sneaking in any shots under this hat. Not once has he had to remove his hat at Memorial Stadium. Quote

I suspect the difference is one is owned by the university and one is owned by the city. But yeah, I have a jacket with which I could smuggle in a dog, a 20 lb bag of dog food, plus another dog but WHAT IS UNDER THAT STOCKING CAP? Bugeaters1 1 Quote

Once in a blue moon I'll see a empty shot bottle in the bathroom at a men's game...but I see a good number of shot bottles at football games. At least at the basketball games they leave the caps on the water and soda bottles, unlike concerts where they remove the caps before giving you the bottles. Quote
colhusker Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 Is it really the worst period of basketball in Nebraska History? Quote

Part of this programs problem throughout the years has been lack of "fire" from the local media. I'll give Lee a pass although sometimes he was a bit over the top but I'd prefer that to being a lip piece for the U. Agreed x10,000 Why is this guy so untouchable? He's the only attachment between all of our mediocrity over the past 15 years. He's either not getting it done from an accountability and resources perspective or he's so good he's been able to keep things afloat that were going to be a lot worse if he wasn't there. I tend to believe it's the former. Quote
Cornhoopers Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Yes, there are a number of reasons he should go. Just to name a few examples that seem to be under his authority...Branding and marketing are mediocre at NU, especially for basketball. I am more than willing to fork over money for Husker gear but cannot find anything I would actually pay for. It is not an Adidas problem, because I used to live Lawrence and KU fans have no shortage of better options. Also, how are we the only regional university that doesn't license to Charlie Hustle out of KC? They make some good stuff. They seems to be little effort put into this aspect of the program. Also, the music guy at PBA seems to have settled on 10 songs a few years back and decided his job was done. It is getting as bad as when it seemed the Jock Jams CD got stuck in the player at Devaney for about a decade. If you are being paid to choose and play music, then you should at least occasionally choose new music. And make folks in the lower level exit toward the back until the game is over. I don't think I have seen any other arena allow the logjam of grey hairs scramble for the parking garages prior to the buzzer in front of the TV cameras like we do. It looks terrible.

Also, the guy specifically plays Zeppelin's Immigrant Song every time Thor comes in because I requested it. Shawn Eichorst's Toupee, Neebraska, thrasher31 and 2 others 3 2 Quote

So because he made one change and it took a outside request to do it, not his own skills as a DJ (I guess that's what he is), he's doing his job a satisfactory level? Quote

Just airing grievances about aspects of the program that seem mediocre beyond the team itself, none of which would really garner much attention if the team were doing well. I am just struggling to express my heartache over another disappointing season - a condition we all currently find ourselves in.

Nebrasketball1979 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 It appeared like we were heading down some really weird path where some were advocating for the removal of the PBA security, DJ, cheer squad, dance squad, etc. I can have some fun with this and I guess if we are going full rebuild and scorched earth, someone should probably stick a large needle in Lil' Red so we can start over there as well. I mean, he is never angry, even when we are losing, and that's just not a good look. Did anyone see him hopping around, looking all happy, when Wisconsin was putting us away in the second half? Unacceptable! If we're completely cleaning house, my vote is to start with Lil' Red!!!!!!!!!! The irony in all these conversations will be if the team turns around their season over the last 10 regular season games. The effort last night gives me hope. Lets not burn it down quite yet!

BRING BACK OLD HERBIE YOU COWARDS!! New herbie creeps me out always does My wife commented last night that she saw two people who entered the arena with one of those clear purses that just had their other purse inside it. She said the purses that were inside the clear bag were big enough that they never would have let them in with those purses by themselves - but when they just stuck the same purse in the clear bag it was apparently OK. What is the point of that? Of course the clear purse thing has always been pretty stupid and mostly symbolic. Same thing about looking into the purses really. As the other poster indicated lots of people go in wearing coats that have far more pocket space than the purses they check (or the stocking cap you have to remove) - but no one ever searches coat pockets. (Probably should not have mentioned that - now they will read this and decide they have to search everyone's pockets :) ) hhcmatt 1 Quote
