Nebraska vs. Ohio game thread: Ain't it high time we went....

[HuskerFever]

...and just think, the return of Moses and Leslee is just around the corner.

 

...and just think, we were 4 points away from being 10-2.

 

Of course you could argue that we were 2 shots away from 6-6 as well... but the glass is half full right now.

Petteway and Shields combine for 40+ and we are tough.  Pitchford adds 10 or so, with Rivers and Smith doing their thing, it's back to the 4th place in the Big 10 type team we all are hoping to see

Sorry, but no way anything in that game should lead to thinking like that.  That was a 10th-12th place team out there today.  Christmas or not.

Terran and Dave R. share player of the game.  I suspect Dave heard about his 36 minute-no production effort against LMU.  Props to him.

 

Still, we are a long way from being a respectable team.  Bottom-feeding doesn't change that.  LMU and Ohio were terrible. Flat-out terrible.

Just spotted: 4 of Santa's elves sitting behind Nebraska's bench. I'll give them a pass today, but they better start working for 2015's Christmas starting tomorrow.

That was me and my family. I'm kind of embarrassed though, so please don't tell anybody.

You got a lump of coal for Christmas, didn't you, HB?

Mr. Reality.  Never had a holiday cloud my brain.  Unless I was hammered.

 

Humbug.

Miles is really showing weaknesses as a high level coach right now. Good teams, well coached teams just don't go through consistent bad stretches like we do. Anyone who roots for this team should be alarmed.

Bad stretches are not exclusive to Miles. Visit the old HHC message board and you'll have plenty of reading material to last you through 2015.

I don't disagree that I'd likely have plenty of reading material. I too, lived through Collier and Sadler. But, you have to get past that, and start evaluating what is in front of you now, in 2014. Our level of expectation should be MUCH higher than what is on the floor. We should be beating non-ranked teams including in-state rivals. Anything less is just not progress.

 

 

If you can not see progress with the team since those eras, or even Miles first year, something is wrong.  Something is very wrong.

 

 

Wish Tom Osburne could have done a better job of hiring.
