Fred's Signature Win

[Norm Peterson]

If things continue the way they're headed and we lose out, it seems like a good chance Fred would be done here. If that's the case, what would you say has been Fred's signature win since he's been here?

[RedEyedFanatic]

I mean, if I limit myself to a game actually mentioned in the list, it's Purdue in year 1 when we still thought we had something here.  But honestly, it's the contract extension and the buyout.  It's literally the only reason he hasn't been fired already.

Oh, yeah. Hadn't thought of that. That probably is the signature win. But is that a win for Fred or does that count as a win for his agent?

Well, it is Fred's signature on the contract right?  So that counts as a (jesus I can't believe I'm going for this pun) ... signature win right?

I cannot argue that logic.

Colorado, hands down.

I would have loved to count Colorado, but Colorado doesn't count. Sorry.

[throwback]

Agreed, but for me, nothing defines this sorry tenure more than putting up your best performance by a mile in a game that doesn't count.

I wish we could count Colorado. I don’t understand how Colorado is having a better season than Fred and company though. I thought they would be way worse when they lost to the Corn.

The Iowa win Year 1 was nice. We're 4-55 against the Power 6 since then.

You sure it won't be some Monday in April?

From this list, gotta be Purdue.  We were so close in those first few Big 10 games. Then the rails came off.

[AuroranHusker]

This...... upcoming game. Man, I wish that were going to be case. Sheesh Louise. The epitome of brutality, isn't that what Jon Rothstein said. He was in Lincoln, ironically, at Opening Night. That feels like a million years ago, when hope reigned supreme with the "most talent ever" or whatever they said. lol

The Minnesota win that got Richard Pitino fired…

Recruiting? Coaching? Defense?  FT shooting?  3pt shooting?  Pace? Do those count?  What about Delano Banton?  Does that count?  His signature win will be his conversation with Trev that gives him another year....

Already did it with Moos...

Norm, this is an impossible question to answer.  The Beatles released 21 albums between the UK and USA.  I can't pick a favorite.  They're like my children.  Love them all the same.  Same way with Fred's 21 victories with the Huskers.  How can you love one more than the other?

[Vinny]

Yes, his signature on the original contract was consider a win.

[huskerbill85]

The 21 point win over Rutgers last year after Allen was kicked off the team gave a little hope that maybe Fred was taking charge and making adjustments. Nope.

Did I ever tell you the story of Hoiberg McCave who had 21 victories and named them all Dave?

His 2nd signature on the extenion was his biggest win for him...
