Going Dark/Negative Posting Engaged

[basketballjones]

All, 

Once again I am deciding to fall on the sword for Husker basketball.

 

A couple years ago I noticed that if I picked a husker loss in the HHCC Competition, they won. If I tried to actually nail the score and thought we'd win, they'd lose. Due to my clear control and impact over the program, I had to make the choice to continue to pick them to lose at the cost of my HHCC ranking. I assume many remember. This lead to the nice run towards the end of the '23 season and then obviously the tourney birth in '24. 

 

For those of you who were paying attention, I actually started the year HOT in HHCC, and was still ranked pretty high through some of our losing streak. Well, we are in a dire situation, once again. I have noticed that if I don't participate in the HHCC Competition, and I continue making negative and dark remarks, suggesting Fred get fired, we play better. The more I text my buddies that "I'm out on this staff," the better we play. Therefore I have choose, once again, to tank my HHCC season, and include my reputation on the board, for the good of the team. 

From here until the end of the season you will see nothing but negativity from me regarding the team and the staff. I've even considered writing up a "Fire Fred" email to AD Dannen. It is my cross to bare, for the sake of the program. But I do it with great purpose and profound care for the program.

 

So - as you guys continue to watch this loser, dead-beat program, with it's JV staff - I hope you know the sacrifice I am making. Your thanks and appreciation are assumed, no need to shower me with praise. Thank you all. And you're welcome.

Thank you for your sacrifice, my Hero. When we win that first NCAA game, I’ll make sure that you are honored as least valuable fan so we can keep the streak going.

It's unbelievable how much this team sucks. Can never win a game on the road.

Right?

[SkersHoops]

It's just like Nebrasketball to turn the ball over on the last possession of the game. 

[Dead Dog Alley]

I briefly woke up with about 3 minutes to go in the half and Washington was on their way to 100, with a 47-34 lead.  So, I shut the TV off because I knew right then the season was over.  I don't even care enough anymore to look up the final score.

[basketballjones]

I just want everyone to know that I fired off an email to AD Dannen, calling for the firing of Coach Hoiberg. I have now outed myself to the athletic department, and completely made myself look the fool for this program. This is my sacrifice to you all. To this program. I might never recover from that email.

Finally-- I figured you started having hope again.

Does it hurt to fall on your SWORD?

Not really to be honest. I'm kind of getting a win here either way.

In your spirit, I will avoid listening to the radio tonight and since I am too cheap to pay for Peacock, will listen to the State of the Union address as further punishment for perhaps being a stealth jinx myself this year.

One of my all time favs.  That scene and the Killer Rabbit scene crack me up everytime.

I haven't listened to KP & JM  since mid January trying to break the curse.

[No Place Like the Vault]

I'm considering listening to Trump the 1st half.  Who is doing the game on peacock?

I have 2 tvs and a peacock subscription so I'm not worried about video for the husker game

[Cazzie22]

I am in Lincoln for State BB Tournament.  My brother has Peacock. It’s not a pretty site how we are playing.

[jimmykc]

Didn't know the outcome until this morning. Glad I didn't watch. Welp, at least I found out that I am not a closet jinx.

[cozrulz]

Think Loenser ever realizes that the 3-point shot is one of the easiest in basketball?

[Faux Mike Peltz]

I wish some of our players would realize it’s one of the easiest in basketball.

 

Unofficially, Rollie has to own the single season record for most 3 point attempts that have been airballs or missed the rim entirely.
