Talk about massive dilution of matchups with expansion. I get why they want to do it/will do it. But this particular case is terrible. Isn't it odd, that you rarely see these types of blow outs in the basketball tournament??? Quote

A painful reminder that at one time Nebraska beat a Tennessee team with Peyton Manning this BAD, not some Bum from Council Bluffs… Quote

It’s funny that Florida & Tennessee went on to Win the Title the year AFTER we thumped them. If you’ll recall Florida was a heavy favorite even tho we’d lost 1 game in 3 years. Quote

My recollection many brain cells ago was Florida opened up as a touchdown favorite and by game day, Huskers were favored by at least 3.5. However, all the national pundits were calling for a Florida blowout. Could be wrong... cornfed24-7 1 Quote

But last night was a Georgia in rhythm after playing the week before. I would be willing to bet that once expansion happens a lot of these higher seeded teams with byes lose their first games to teams that won the week before. Quote

It’s worth mentioning that could’ve easily been the third of FIVE National Titles in a row… Quote

I shook both of their hands and told Corso he was wrong, and there was no way Nebraska was losing this game. His response was, yeah, you’re probably right. I responded with, there is no probably, we are absolutely winning this game. It’s funny they showed that Sega game, because I played a full season during my Christmas break, and I ended up playing Florida in the Fiesta bowl. Nebraska won that game something like 70-28. I told myself well, that wasn’t very realistic. There’s no way we’re winning in a blow out like that. We’ll, I guess I was wrong about that one. That game was by far the best sporting event I’ve ever been to. Quote

kldm64 Posted January 12, 2023 Report Posted January 12, 2023 If I were Trev Alberts, I'd be on the phone with Chris Beard now to see if he'd have any interest in coaching at Nebraska should the season finish up without NU reaching any post season yet again? Unless he ends up in jail, I'd take him to try and turn NU hoops program around. thrasher31, OmahaHusker, HuscurAdam and 2 others 1 4 Quote

So he made a mistake (allegedly) when we don't even know all the facts yet. But coaches like Sean Miller, Kelvin Sampson, etc. have all cheated or done bad things and still coaching and doing very well with their respective schools. I'd take a coach with a little bit of baggage that can make NU a winning basketball program as opposed to keep being a cellar dweller. Chris Beard is an extremely good coach and will end up coaching again somewhere depending on how his case turns out. Quote

If you're going to make this type of argument, please list other coaches that have allegedly committed domestic assault, not guys who sent too many texts before that was legal or allegedly paid for players before that was legal.

Cazzie22 Posted January 12, 2023 Report Posted January 12, 2023 Didn’t we dismiss Mickey Joseph for a similar offense? I do ‘t doubt Chris Beard as aCoach but you cannot hire him in this climate. Silverbacked1 1 Quote

What I'm saying is that you are comparing Beard, a man arrested for something in his personal life, to coaches that got in trouble with the NCAA and that they are two very different things. You don't seem to understand that Beard is in the Dave Bliss zone. At some point Beard will get a second chance because he's very good at winning basketball games but try 5+ years at a tiny Texas school, not here. Shawn Eichorst's Toupee 1 Quote
