This is the 100% absolute truth. Anybody who doesn't agree with this is a complete and utter moron.

And they could do a whole lot better than Doc Sadler. Why would he leave the cushy job he has now at KU? If I was him, I'd stay there as long as I could. He wasn't going to get a good coaching job after he got fired from NU so he ended up landing a great gig at KU. He gets to be apart of one of the greatest college basketball programs. Who would want to leave that. Umm...somebody who wants to coach? Wants to coach and can coach are not the same thing. Robert Sallie or however it should be spelled becomes eligible and how things could have been so different. There is a tremendous amount of luck or things outside your control that effect this game, sometime tor the good and sometimes for the bad. Doc got hired at Kansas because someone there thought he knows something about basketball. When other coaches say something good about Miles its all, "see what they're saying about our guy!" but when other coaches often expressed their respect for Doc it was, "coaching courtesy, what else are they going to say." We respect others' opinions as long as they agree with us. Tubby Smith can coach, Ben Howland can coach, Doc has never had the success either of those have had but he can coach a bit. Let's put you at work doing whatever it is you do on TV and see how many critics show up. It's a tough job that they get well paid for so I guess they need to put up with the cries from the peanut gallery. This, to me is the major problem in America about everything - Certitude. Everyone is damn sure they have all the answers whether its sports, politics or religion, so when someone disagrees with us they can't just be wrong they have to be idiots, immoral, or have some hidden agenda to bring us all down. I do have some opinions on things that I've actually taken the time to research and think about. I think Doc can be a successful coach, but it is possible that I'm wrong and he really does suck. I don't mind the differing opinions just the certitude in which they are presented. Differences should be what gets us to think, but instead it seems to only make us defensive, snarky and insulting. Does anyone know how I'm supposed to get down off this really high box, I seem to be stuck up here.

You asked who would want to leave the KU job to coach. Well, who would want to do that? Someone who wants to coach. Ability has nothing to do with the answer you were looking for.

I suspect that if you went back and removed every post from this thread that was about the size of the thread itself, the thread would shrink down to about 25 pages.

Also this all comes to an end tomorrow right? Please?

Hey, Samudio, don't put words in his mouth. I'm sure it was completely taken out of context. He was probably telling the guy how much of a Springsteen fan he was and how his favorite album is "Nebraska."

Is this thread about Atewe or Standhardinger?

I think Drudge ran a story on how to do that.....

Norm, I've been laughing about it since like page 10. And yours is a subtle wit, I find only the most refined of palettes are able to appreciate the delicate comedic nuances that lie therein.

i heard the amount of memorabilia he has of the other team in his basement will ultimately decide the outcome...

Bite me

Oh, Silverback. If there's a person that uses emoticons more than you, I've yet to see him. Is this a challenge? Cause I will win. It may make this board hard to read though. In which case you would have many people looking at me like this... I would have to be very in how many faces I use. I just hope people would and and not get all and

Too bad neither us or the Auburn fans are making the decision And "best fans... when we are winning" isn't that good of a compliment regarding our fan base...

I think we're at a distinct disadvantage here since we're an adidas school and Auburn is with....uh, oh wait...Auburn isn't with Nike either?

I must tip my hat to Mr. Atewe with the drama he has stirred up for his decision. Well played, sir. Look at all the Husker fans you have worked up.

Oh, Silverback. If there's a person that uses emoticons more than you, I've yet to see him.

The outsiders like the school because there is something for them in it

Already got him. That is, if he doesn't have any more run-ins with the law......

The difference is that in the past when Nebraska has signed guys like Hawkins, Smith, and Atewe they didn't sign guys like Tummala, Fuller, and Webster to build around them. It's not like Nebraska has never has good players/role players. The issue is that they didn't have big time playmakers/scorers/go-to guys playing around them. There have been plenty of guys that have played for Nebraska in recent years that would have done just fine on other teams like Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio St, Minnesota, Michigan St, etc. There is no doubt in my mind that guys like Brandon Ubel, Toney McCray, Brandon Richardson, Sek Henry, Lance Jeter, Eshaunte Jones, Ryan Anderson, Ade Dagunduro, etc. could have seen playing time on some really good teams, because I think they have all been pretty good players. It's just that Nebraska didn't have big-time scorers on the floor with them, so alot of times they were forced to do more than their skills allowed, and many times they were forced to play out of position. I don't think the issue is that Nebraska can never sign any players that are the same caliber as some of the players they have had over the last few years. I think the issue is that when they sign this caliber of player, they need to sign a few playmakers/scorers/go-to guys (Sai Tummala, Nick Fuller, Tai Webster) to place around them. That way the role players can play their roles, instead of being forced to do more than what their skills allow, and instead of being forced to play out of position. Agreed 100%. But we're assuming these guys will be scorers/go-to players. Sai's best offer is BYU. Fuller was offered late by Wisconsin, I think. Webster is a big question mark - offers from Pitt and St. Mary's. It's not like we've never beat out the Pitt's and St. Mary's of the world for a recruit (although Pitt is admittedly a pretty good team to beat out). I agree with Norm that the film on Fuller (and possibly Sai) suggests that they could be good. But I will not assume they can be go-to players - especially as underclassmen - until I see them. I'm also excited about Webster, but anyone who has watched the most recent film of him (and the competition in it) knows that Webster is far from a guarantee. Sai is a 6'7", 215 lbs, he can handle the ball well, he has a good mid-range jumpshot, can stroke the 3, can finish above the rim, can play with his back to the basket and has solid post moves. Add that to the fact that he has spent a year with Michigan and the coach said that he was the most athletic player on their team aside from Trey Burke. There are not many teams in the country on which Trey Burke would not be the most athletic player. That Michigan team that he was a part of is in the sweet16 this season, so I feel confident saying that he has been around big-time basketball and will not have to spend any time getting used to the speed of the game.

Well then, I guess Miles isn't the answer and we are going to suck because we really can't get anybody that will take us to the next level. And I was truly hoping we were starting down the right path. Oh well maybe after the next 4 years of crap we will be able to bring the "right" guy.

I actually really enjoyed reading how their fans were all caught up in how bitchin' our facilties are. I had actually never seen that Vimeo video of the tour of the Hendricks Center that one of their fans found and posted on their board. And it struck me how fans down in Auburn are jealous out of their minds about how fandamntastic our basketball facilities are and how they don't think they can compete with us in the facilities arms race. Fans. In Auburn. Shock and Awe over OUR cool sh!t. That just amazes me. They don't think they can win the recruiting battle with us -- with frickin US! -- over Atewe because their locker room is the size of a large closet. And they apparently forgot to finish their arena somehow. We obliterate Auburn basketball when it comes to facilities bling. I was honestly surprised by their reaction. I had no idea other team's facilities are that far behind. I'd always been lead to believe that everyone else had it so much better. Until we upgraded. No wonder Coach Miles has made the comments he's made about recruiting with our facilities. Because they blow the competition away. I liked how they likened our new adidas contract as a commitment to basketball. I'm sure that will stir some of you Nike boys up... I don't think anyone has a huge problem with Adidas. The problem is that Nike is the more popular brand to high school kids with more selection for basketball players. Adidas is like a bmw, but Nike is a Lamborghini. Atewe himself recently posted a picture of a new pair of Jordans he bought.
