Not going to lie...

...being knocked out first round again and watching the sweater vests advance has me in a pretty foul mood.

The main thing that is keeping my sanity is we are a young team, but we have several holes to fill for next season obviously as has been well discussed here.

[The Polish Rifle]

Yep, throw in the fact we crapped our pants and lost to Iowa in baseball and it has been an ugly day to be a Nebraska fan.

Creighton has their own history to overcome. They will have to beat Baylor to do it. I hope they draw the same officials.

Why do I have the feeling that the Karl Hess effect will be non-existent on Sunday... that clown is a joke of a ref! Hess made even the vaunted ACC kick his sorry rear out of their league officiating pool.

I hope the Jays destroy Baylor.

I hope the Jays destroy Baylor.

Not me.  As much as I would like to dislike Baylor for today, it was the three blind mice.

[faqlsr]

I hope the Jays destroy Baylor.

Nope, can't do it.....you are a better person than me. I have to hear about how awesome they are every day at work and I've had my fill of it. The only good I can take from losing today is that it eliminated the possibility of us losing to them again this season on Sunday. I may have had an HR reportable event on Monday had that happened. Ha.

[cornfed24-7]

Yup. Same here. I hope Baylor destroys them. Unfortunately if they play that zone CU wins by 20.

All I know is that there were Jay fans there wearing red for our game and cheering for us. Baylor fans were complete pricks about this game, refusing to acknowledge how slanted the officiating was and how fortunate they were to be on the receiving end of that kind of gratuity.

They cheered for us today, I'm returning the favor Sunday.

Such disparity between the level of physicality that was permitted between the Nebraska and Creighton game.  Neither team even got into the bonus in the first half of the CU game.

 

"Gotta adjust to the officiating" hold NO water with me.  What's the point of having RULES when they are, in fact, being enforced as subjective GUIDELINES?

Tenn and UMass game was physical too.  Guess those officials realized all the folks in the stands didn't come to see them.

ALL Baylor fans?  You're usually the guy who discourages painting entire fan bases with a broad brush.  Now, Baylor fans are pricks and Creighton fans cheer for Nebraska.  

 

Personally, I've never run across a Baylor fan.  Ever, really.  But I've run across some Creighton fans who could very rightly be called pricks.  Does that mean I should cheer for Baylor?

[aphilso1]

I've got three friends that are Baylor grads.  I live in the greater Omaha area, and have ZERO friends that are Creighton grads.  What does that tell you about their fan base?

[Omaha Nebrasketballer]

This is the last year of Creighton being relevant for a long time. Let them enjoy what remains of their tournament run this year. Dougie is almost gone and daddy already proved he couldnt cut it in a major conference. (If you want to consider the Big East as "major")

That Creighton fans don't have friends?

[Buglem]

We bumped into a Baylor fan tonight and he said they were talking in his section about how bad the refs were. Made the game hard to watch even for the winning team.

Creighton will struggle to beat Baylor. They gave zero inside presence and are going to get manhandled inside. Creighton better play better than they did today or they will go down hard Sunday.

Really, you can cheer for the maintenance crew for all I care. CU on Sunday for me. Feel free to report me to Eichorst for disciplinary action.

We've been saying that about Creighton after every star has left the program since Buford. They've earned the benefit of the doubt that they'll be relevant in the future. They'll take a step back next year because that's what happens when you lose the player of the year and three other seniors, but they've been good for long enough that we can't just say this is the last year they'll be relevant in a long time.

[HoiBall]

Sat next to a Baylor fan who I'm pretty sure it was the first basketball game he had ever seen. His comments were beyond annoying, especially with how bad the Huskers were playing. Just morons

Thank you for this comment!  The poorly officated games come when the officials want to be the show!  (whenever Ted Valentine officiates)  The inconisistency from game to game in rules interpretation is mind boggling.  Every game today in San Antonio from my vantage point was a varying degree on what is a foul and what is not a foul, what is traveling and what is not traveling (I detest the Euro step!)

Creighton has good guards coming back.  Dingman gained experience this year and I think the Hansen kid will be O.K.  They won't be world beaters but they will be competitive.

It doesn't matter who you are playing you should always respect your opponent even if they are the Sisters of the Poor.

Cheer for Creighton to your heart's content. I will join you. But the guy whose been defending the Creighton fan base from charges that they're all a bunch of Husker-hating pricks would be the last guy I would expect to say about Baylor that which he has adamantly rejected beingsaid about Creighton. And I just couldn't let it slide without pimping you just a little bit.
