Jackass.

 

lol dude, seriously? I really thought the worm on the hook was unmistakably big. My bad, I occasionally overestimate the audience here.

Just had to chime in - the excitement and enthusiasm I have for this hire is truly off the charts! I cannot wait to see where Coach Hoiberg takes this program and while I've seen a lot of criticism of Bill Moos, he has done exactly what he needed to do. I could not be happier that he was the guy in charge.

Criticism has been mostly BS. Lots of misinformation has been feeding the rumor mill. Moos has more than proven himself.

Sorry, I was trying to have a bit of humor there also.  Not my forte, I guess.

 

Definitely not! But it's all good. I just took out a ten page ad spread making my silliness clear. 

 

The fault really is mine. It's not like this is SB Nation.

The day or two after we won the Big 8 Tourney was close.  Much like the team in the NCAA Tourney, not much legs to the excitement....

Agreed - I was among the several thousand at Devaney to welcome the boys back home from KC with the trophy in hand.

 

We had a red-hot team, we had a stellar recruiting class coming in, 4th straight NCAA bid, a sure win this time, there was no stopping us. That feeling of excitement, invincibility, and anticipation was incredible.

 

Then we played Penn.

 

 

This definitely is the most exciting thing to happen to NU hoops in an offseason.

 

Crazy-good hire. Considering all of the semi-realistic names that have been thrown around for our next coach, Hoiberg's is the best one. To pull in Frost and Hoiberg back to back is as impressive as it gets for Mr. Moos.

 

Time to schedule Penn for Hoiberg's first game and let him exorcise some of our past demons.

 

Get your tickets now ... if any are left.

My gate swings a ... different direction than that, actually. But Coach Amy ain't bad. And if Cook ever retires, is there any way they can hire KRob? I mean if looks is among the criteria ...

I thought I had heard somewhere that Katz hated Nebraska. Ehh, whichever way the wind blows, I suppose.

Oh...give me the OVER. This is going to be a long offseason but a much more active board than usual during that time.

@hhcmatt, sidenote... I'm curious to see how HHC membership increases between now and next season.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

So pumped with this. A different feeling than when I was hopeful with Barry, googling Doc’s resume, and convincing myself Miles was the guy. Great time to be a Husker hoops diehard!!!

The “why didn’t he wait for a better job” narrative is already annoying me. Top 12 attendance, top 12 salary, Nebraska ties, he took the BEST job for him. Can’t wait to shut those people up.

Oh. Well. That's very nice. Good to see someone took the job. 

 

 

Edit: Thanks for getting it throwback! Sadly, we have some who manage to think this was remotely serious. So, for the humor-challenged, I'm BEING SILLY/SARCASTIC! 

 

Double Secret Edit: An no worries with my buddy, the Toupee. We got it all good...:) Enjoy the new ride, everyone!

 

I was going to go with the sarcastic post and say something like "I'm disappointed. I wanted a defensive-minded coach." But I can't do that after TCP and I'm not sure I could even type that with a straight face. And yes, I am amazed AND ecstatic.

Don't read the national article comments... There's a lot of "you could never pay me $25M to even live in Nebraska."

Yeah just unreal, honestly I think a lot of the talk from the B1G/Big 12 foot print is a ‘oh $hit Nebraska just took things to the next level’ but reading the Ames writer say Hoiberg could wait for something “juicier” was lazy writing, you gotta realize outside of ISU, this is probably the place he is most comfortable.

Lincoln is one of the best college cities in the country. Most university towns are cow towns.

How could you ever recruit anyone to Tumbleweed Lubbock? Or West Idaho Spokane? Or 42,000 West Lafayette? Or Toilet Paper Auburn? Those teams must be awful.

 

We're in dire trouble.

Maybe Cook is just keeping the seat warm for Jordan Larson?

Some people want Erstad gone though. And some are on this board.
