[cipsucks]

There you stood, everybody watched you play. I just turned and walked away. I had nothing left to say. GBR.

Upvotes for anything Seger.    Been to 2 Seger concerts, 35 years apart.   Great stuff.   Iowa game?   Not so much.  Gonna be ugly.

Slow and painful march to an inevitable firing at the end of the season? Final home game of the season against Iowa? A lack of recruiting success and a coach with some questionable coaching philosophies? 

 

I've seen how this one ends before

This would be such a Nebraska basketball finish to the season. I expect a blowout though

Is Trev Alberts going to be there on Friday?

I think he's been at most of the games, so I imagine he'll be at senior night. 

[thrasher31]

Kobe and Verge the only ones getting anything for senior day? Lakes? 

[49r]

I miss Señor day.  Wish we could still do that.

I'd imagine Walker and Trey will be in the festivities,  also.

Walker walked last year on senior night, but yeah that makes sense. Lat also possibly

Um.

 

I don't find the two situations remotely comparable, actually.

 

I never saw the kind of dogshit effort out of a Miles team that we seem to see consistently from Hoiberg's teams. Miles proved he could win some games with inferior talent. He had guys hurt, took the end of the bench, and made a frickin' run with them. It was a thing of beauty. They had heart. They gave effort. They had grit. All the kinds of virtues that the Hoi boys consistently lack.

 

What you've just said is asinine. Not even remotely the same thing. How could you even come up with that?

I've also been to two Seger concerts, but closer to 35 months apart.  Mrs. cip and I saw him at the Quest Center and then at PBA.  Great both times but PBA was probably better. We had better seats.   

 

This song is appropriate for all the buyouts the University has made in the last two decades.  It's an amateur video but not badly done.  It'll give you a taste of a Bob Seger concert.

Because I was trying to find literally any reason that I might watch the game on Friday with hope in my heart. But instead I'm just the biggest dummy this board has ever seen :(

He was so ashamed of being in Iowa, that he could only reference it by being East of Omaha.

I'm sorry for jumping your stuff, but what you wrote seemed like a putdown of Miles and his crew of overachievers going on a run at the end of that season, which had to be some of the most fun Husker basketball of all time.

 

Outside of a final home game against Iowa, I'm not sure there's much to compare. Miles getting fired did not seem, at the time, like a foregone conclusion. Sure, there was a lot of speculation that we might have a coaching change, but it didn't have the same sense of inevitability that this season has. The reasons we struggled were different. The degree of struggling was vastly different. And the character of the squad was so incredibly different.

 

If Hoiberg manages to get this group to go on a Big Ten tourney run like Miles' last season, I'll be beyond astonished.

[Ron Mexico]

I'm actually going to that game. 

I always enjoy senior night.

[jimmykc]

I just hope to not see Fran decide to dribble out the game to avoid reaching 100 on senior night. I think he has probably exceeded his pity quotient for the year and it might cause him to explode.

When I saw Seger in a NUBB thread I assumed "Like a Rock"

The list I saw had Lakes, Mayen, T. McGowens, McGraw, Verge, Walker, and Webster.

I'll be watching the baseball team down Texas tonight.
