Not the biggest game???

[Nighthawk]

I'm sitting next to a guy at the bar right now that is asking if I've heard anything about the game on Sunday. He says he hasn't heard a peep about this. I asked if he was serious...he said totally. He has not heard anything.

[Jadler]

Did he look like this?

 

 

(This may be a little too young of a joke...)

Does the bar have a "Welcome to Brewsky's" sign when you first walk in?

[nuled2dance]

What bar?

Was out in omaha and I had a husker pullover and had 4 people bring it up at the good life...djs west...and two fine

[Nighthawk]

Lmao! No....its a lot smaller than Brewskys. Nice place called the Grapevine.

[nuled2dance]

Oh memories of that joint!

If you live in a bubble and don't listen to sports talk, I guess it's possible to not have heard much about this game. But the talk is everywhere, so I'd say he's in the minority. The extreme minority.

[Shuttlesworth]

Damn. Dude must hang with the wrong people.

The Vine is kind of a weird place sometimes.

I talked to some beer drivers yesterday and they were all amazed at how much booze they were carting into the Haymarket for the weekend.

[nuled2dance]

They must he getting ready for me

Is it just me, or were these our biggest games EVER?

 

1998 Arkansas in first round

1994 Pennsylvania in first round

1993 New Mexico State in first round

1992 Connecticut in first round

1991 Xavier in first round

1986 Western Kentucky in first round

 

If you have the argument that this win, potentially propelling us into the NCAA tournament, will generate tremendous interest in Nebraska basketball and help improve the program from here on out... I can buy that.

 

For the time-being, Wisconsin is a HUGE game. Then the games in the Big Ten Tournament are HUGE. It's not until we get back to the NCAA Tournament until it becomes the BIGGEST game in Nebraska basketball history.

 

We've got some work to do, but we're just on the brink of something great!

It's dark in the Grapevine for a reason.

Winning the 1994 Big 8 Conference Tournament would be on the list (and the '96 N.I.T. to a lesser degree) as well. But, I agree on the whole, the whole mantra of "biggest ever" is a bit overblown as it's the "biggest right now". Winning in the Big Dance will blow the roof off of the importance of this weekend's ballgame!!

Each one gets bigger based on the success of the previous. Considering where this program has been, I can't find a bigger home game in the history of the program. I think if they win tomorrow, we'll be able to put it on the list with any of those NCAA games if they continue to win games over the next two weeks.  Just because they made it into the dance, doesn't mean this game can't be bigger than those if they win it for all that it sets up for them.

The posts I have seen just talk about this being our biggest HOME game ever.  I have not seen anyone call it the biggest game ever overall.

It is, without question, the biggest home game in Husker history.  Wisconsin has a top 5 RPI.  If we win we are in the tournament. 

 

I don't think it is the biggest game in Husker history, but without question it is the biggest home game.

You guys know how many times NU has won 11 conference games or more?  Just three. Last time was 1965. Before that, you have to go back to 1925. Not even in the greatest era of NU basketball did they find a way to do that. I realize they play more games now than they did in the past, but it's still a pretty remarkable number.
