It’s already been announced by Coach Hoiberg a few games ago that Blaise was taking a medical redshirt this year. He moves like a 46 year old during warm ups. Serious. 

Redshirts don't happen anymore.  With NIL and the transfer portal, redshirts are a thing of the past.

But medical hardships definitely still happen. It’s what I suspect Ramel is doing as well to preserve an extra year.

Think dimes is right on this. Last thing FH said about Blaise is he needs to be ready for spot minutes/situational minutes.

Sucked ass on the line tonight.

 

 

Actually, they were doing just fine, but then Gary bricked 2 and then Brice also doinked 2.

Bank is open for Diop.

 

Diop knows he's in The Vault, and the bank is always 'open.'

So, stay even with Mich. in the 1st half, and blow 'em out in the 2nd half. Good to know. . .

 

 

 

Or, blow 'em out in the 1st half, and play even in the 2nd half.

Ha - maybe I should've said "easy to block from my memory and pretend they never happened and focus on the present."

 

I'm trying to do that, but it's still hard to forget the Matty Abdelmasih debacle either. Sheesh.

41-13!!!! this is nuts.....

 

A 29-3 run for the Big Red occurred when it had been NU 9-7, and ballooned to a football score, 38-10. GBR

Not at all.  They played well at Illinois, they beat K State, would have beaten Rutgers had Gary not been injured, and had a disappointing second half at Minnesota. 

 

The inconsistency is still frustrating. I think they will figure out before it's too late. GBR

why that illinois game could've been the tourney clincher, but we still have the resume wins already. 

 

7 games left after this one, and we've got to get one of those road games for crying out loud. 

 

 

Let's get at least 2 ! GBR !!

We don't need to build our resume anymore. Just make sure we don't send it out with spelling, grammatical, or punctuation errors. 

Shouldn’t that be “any more”?

Just going to put this right here:

 

 

 

Hoiberg started his NU tenure 6-50 in the Big Ten. It was 2-18, 3-16, and 1-16. Brutal. Then NU won 3 straight during the Verge/McGowens end-of-a-brief-era to wrap up his initial 3 seasons in the B1G at 9-50. Wow, how did that happen... yikes.

 

Well, the foresight to bring Trev in as A.D. has helped Fred tremendously as Hoiberg & Co. have fully competent assistants in all phases with Loenser, Howard, & Zeigler on-board. Since those early, especially awful 3 years in the Big Ten, Hoiberg has been 9-11 and now 7-7 (with 6 remaining ballgames). Overall record for Fred is 57-81, with 25-68 in the B1G. Without Trev Alberts around, Hoiberg would likely have floundered aimlessly with no strong leadership at the helm of Big Red athletics, and I shudder to think where NU would be right now. I really like Hoiberg and I was willing to throw out those first 3 seasons, but have kept them in the back of my mind as a launching point with that 3-0 finish to 2021-22.

 

But, and it's a relatively BIG Butt, the bright side for Hoiberg is that since that initial gruesome 6-50 start in the B1G (followed shortly thereafter by that mini-run to finish '21-22 with 3 straight ROAD wins, of which 2 were on Senior Night), Fred's teams have basically been 19-18 in the past 2+ years in the Big Ten conference. Not particularly great by upper echelon programs' standard, but palatable for most B1G programs, and simply elated for many, if not most, diehard Big Red fans. To wit, these final 6 games of 2023-24 are absolutely crucial to get this program 'in the Big Dance' by going at least 4-2. I think they do it, I really do. They are resolute in their gritty behavior of late. Fred's lineup changes have sparked things with Allick's flamethrowers & four-wheelers, as well as Sammy's hand-grenades, and that positive mojo will bring them where they want to go. Let's do this, Huskers! GBR
