Red Rum Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 Coach Miles posted this on his twitter (hope it works this is my first go at starting a thread) Nice try coach... Tim Miles @CoachMiles "Karma, baby!" Bulls' Noah regrets 3-point shot for Big Macs http://espn.go.com/chicago/nba/story/_/id/8604195/joakim-noah-chicago-bulls-regrets-3-point-attempt-big-macs … Quote
Norm Peterson Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 I was there last night and there was a smattering of "Awww c'mon" when Miles signaled to Peltz not to try to score. Listening to the post-game broadcast, Jeff Culhane gets his nose bent out of joint basically accusing the fans of actually booing over not getting a Runza. Whether it was "booo" or "awww c'mon," it was delivered in jest and I think Miles clearly took it that way when he was smiling about it and continuing to signal not to score. No one -- I repeat NO ONE -- was seriously pissed off that we didn't try to score on that last possession in order to get Runzas. And the fact that Culhane jumped to that conclusion and jumped into "Mr. Superios, I'm going to lecture the fans" mode, was honestly a bit off-putting. Shut up, Jeff. You weren't there.

Silverbacked1 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 Now, now Norm. it's hard to fill hours of radio with just husker football and 10 seconds basketball without playing the bad fan card. Quote
Norm Peterson Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 The other thing about Runzas this year? Ain't gonna be a lot of games where we get them. This team might have some trouble scoring. Quote
HB Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 I booed at that time--loudly. We were all just having fun. Although I do love free Runzas, and as Norm says, we won't get many this year. In fact, I believe we will stay in the 30s a number of times. But, with the glass half full, we get $1.00 off of a combo meal of the tastiest fast food around no matter what happens. Quote
BannedAccount Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 I applaud Coach Miles for not making fans suffer through that horrible food that causes indigestion, the runs, and many other things...I guess it could have been worse and got Vals pizza instead, and Norm I agree with you on the Jeff comments.

Norm Peterson Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 I applaud Coach Miles for not making fans suffer through that horrible food that causes indigestion, the runs, and many other things. I've got dibs on Coug's ticket stubs ... if we ever break 70 this year. Quote
Huskerpapa Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 Anyone who thinks the reaction was not good natured is nuts. I also think that the way Coach Miles handled the "pressure" was refreshing. Hey, the students wanted a free meal...perhaps Coach MIles will buy a few extra pizza's for the redzone before the Southern game hhcmatt 1 Quote

Thank goodness most Nebraskans disagree with you, Coug. Runza Rocks. Quote
HuskerFever Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 The other thing about Runzas this year? Ain't gonna be a lot of games where we get them. This team might have some trouble scoring. The basketball team has to keep Runza in business some how. Hope is a terrible thing. Especially when it involves Nebraska basketball and Runzas. Quote
BannedAccount Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 Thank goodness most Nebraskans disagree with you, Coug. Runza Rocks. I'll give their onion rings credit as some of the best, but the actuall runza, yuck....they did make a mexican runza awhile back that wasn't too shabby though Quote
KZRider Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 As a fundraiser couldn't we have anyone who DOESN'T want to use their stubs for a Runza turn them in as they leave the Bob and let anyone who wants an EXTRA Runza donate like a buck a piece to get one? The athletic program would be awash in cash! Then, the Coach Miles would be yelling at guys to SCORE that extra basket. Speaking of fund raising, is Twitter a corporate sponsor, yet? Somebody get on that it they aren't. Quote
ajb5856 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 The best runza ever made was the Italian runza. Best ever. Used to be a mainstay on the menu back in the day. Now they bring it back as a limited time only thing every so often. Although it seems like its been a good 2, 3 years since they had it last. Quote
49r Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 cheese runza no need to foul it with any of those other accutrements, just keep it plain and simple. That is all. Oh, and I used to think the Runza onion rings were pretty good, but then I ate the Onion Rings at Winstead's in KC. Quote
Red Rum Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Posted November 9, 2012 We were cheering/booing in our section too. We always try to start a "We Want Runzas" chant when it comes down to crunch time. It's a fun little thing. I thought Coach Miles handled it pretty well. And while it might be one of the few times we can get free Runzas it doesn't really matter to me. I never cashed in on one anyway. I like Runzas and all but I'm trying to watch my waistline decrease, not increase. Quote
Red Rum Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Posted November 9, 2012 Update: Tim Miles @CoachMiles Ok, I've done some soul-searching. Husker students & @HuskerRedZone members, @Runza has my back - 1st 200 students get free Runza's Sunday! Quote
Norm Peterson Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 Hey, waitasecond. Coach Miles, what about Normie? I wanted a Runza, too! (By the way, coach, there's no apostrophe on Runzas. Unless Sunday belongs to Runza. ) Quote
HuskerFever Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 Now THAT is some good marketing! Quote
Red Rum Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Posted November 9, 2012 Another Update: Fake Coach Miles @FakeCoachMiles Sorry students, Almeida ate the 200 Runzas I had reserved for you. Maybe we'll hit 70 points next season. #nebrasketball #huskers Noah121 and hhcmatt 2 Quote

Huskerpapa Posted November 10, 2012 Report Posted November 10, 2012 All this talk about Runza's makes me hungry...for Val's pizza. Quote
hhcscott Posted November 10, 2012 Report Posted November 10, 2012 I'll give their onion rings credit as some of the best, but the actuall runza, yuck....they did make a mexican runza awhile back that wasn't too shabby though I see what you are doing there, trying to take some heat of Coach MIles by pretending not to like Runzas to draw the ire of the angry mob.

jimmykc Posted November 10, 2012 Report Posted November 10, 2012 Runzas are an acquired taste, but so is Nebraska basketball. Quote
