I better get my exorcism going.

[Norm Peterson]

Raise your hand if you know what a relic is.

 

I have one. A Nebraska basketball relic, actually. Or, more precisely, an anti-relic.

 

I've recently received it and, if you've been following this board for a decade or more, you would think it very appropriate that this particular anti-relic has fallen into my hands of all people.

 

It is representative of a very, very dark moment in our basketball past. I cannot tell you what it is or where I got it, but I would be willing to share a picture with either @Huskerpapa or @jimmykc and they would be able to quickly verify it is the goods. But they have to PROMISE not to tell anyone what it is because reasons. However, if someone wants to guess what it relates to, I'll tell ya if you guess right. I've given some good hints in this post.

 

I will shortly be looking for a priest to do an exorcism.

 

If we make the NCAA tourney next year, you can thank me then.

You know this is Nebrasketball right?  We have years upon years of anti-relics.

 

It could be everything from a copy of Keyontae’s medical papers to Copelands crutches to a ticket stub of the Xavier game.

 

How are we supposed to narrow that down?  Lol

Moe Iba's resignation letter?

[Dead Dog Alley]

The receipt at the barbecue joint from Bill Byrne's interview with Bill Self that Bill Self paid?

[Huskerpapa]

You going to send me the photo via PM?  I am intrigued.

It’s gotta be either Jose Ramos’ jockstrap or Danny Nee’s wedding ring. 
 

Honorable mention to Roburt Sallie’s summer school registration paperwork.

Someone is VERY close. 

[busticket]

Please don’t tell me you found Jose’s used condom and kept it Norm.  That is disgusting.  And I am a pretty big fan.

Did it have "JANET" written across the top of it?  That was an added touch to the story that I hadn't heard until a couple years ago.

[uneblinstu]

The entire Danny Née tie collection.

Wrong decade.

 

Think "curse."

 

What's the first event that happened to our program that made you say "we're just cursed."

 

The most "Nebrasketball" thing ever.

 

If you made a list of the most Nebrasketball things ever, this would probably be #1.

[jimmykc]

Norm, you can message me the answer if you want, but I'll take a wild guess that it is the bill for Jose Ramos' second steak.

lineup card from the Xavier game?

 

If we're talking the 80's, my rolodex doesn't really go back that far...

I have seen the evidence and can attest that Norm is spot on

2000s.

 

It's not a single game that we lost. That happens all the time. It was a crazy series of events that cost us one of the best recruits we'd had in a VERY LONG TIME and people who were active on the board back then are aware how gutted I felt about it and couldn't even say his name for like a year. Left me feeling like we were actually cursed.

 

I can't believe it's not the first thing that popped into everyone's minds.

Oh! The Notre Dame posters from Mike Gesell's basemen!

Seems to be Roburt Sallie related

[jimmykc]

The dog that ate his homework?

[Swan88]

Notre Dame photos from a basement?

[hskr4life]

Gotta be Sallie I would think.  Do we actually have like an email thread or something?

[basketballjones]

Exorcise your demons, publicly, Norm. It's the only way to cleanse your soul. 

[colhusker]

Well if were cleansing

I was gonna say, wasn’t it that they legit couldn’t find Sallie’s homework? Norm has the homework?!
