Huggins was 30-35 (15-21) his first 2 seasons at WV Peral was 26-40 (9-27) his first 2 seasons at Auburn Bennett was 31-31 (12-20) his first 2 seasons at Virginia Drew was 17-40 (4-28) his first 2 seasons at Baylor Donovan was 27-32 (11-21) his first 2 seasons at Florida Hell, Coach K was 38-47 (13-29) his first 3 seasons at Duke These things take time.

Get a grip man. They have only been here a little over a year and wanted to start from scratch. Miracles don’t happen overnight. If we are still striking out in a couple years we can talk.

Ladies and gentleman. The Nebrasketbubble. Coming soon to Lincoln, America

Agree with Colhusker. The Hoiberg admin. seems to be commensurate with the historical performance from NU. It is beginning to seem insurmountable. So many (myself included) thought the combination of Hoiberg and Abdelmassih would reverse the hopelessness of the previous century-plus. Even "insiders" thought we would land Sanogo and Whitt. The initial buzz from the hiring of Hoiberg is now rapidly diminishing. Last year's historically bad team now gives way to this team which is pre-season last-place by the sports writers. There are very few impact players considering NU in this recruiting cycle (unless I am missing something), and we just whiffed on the highest ranked player in the state's history (Sallis, who many thought Miles would land)! They shit the bed with Hepburn, Murrell and Williams (though the case w/ Williams may have extenuating factors). My guess is Traudt and Breidenbach will choose a good school to play for and the futility will persist. This doesn't mean I don't love Hoiberg and staff but I don't have any reason to think the pundits will be wrong this year either. What kind of recruits will NU be attracting after another laughable season? Perhaps Covid and the impending ecological catastrophe we are seeing will scuttle the season and we won't have to endure any further humiliations. And before anyone lashes out without considering my position, tell me where there might be reason for optimism- and I don't think because ISU was pretty good in his second season is a reason. Are there reasonable reasons to hold out any optimism? Happy Autumn!

Nebraska will reportedly be pulling out of the Myrtle Beach tourney and hosting their own tourney here in Lincoln OWH is reporting that we're targeting regional teams. UNO might make it in the bubble and then Creighton might need to decide if they're going to stick with their tourney which is now in South Dakota. There also might be fans involved. https://omaha.com/sports/huskers/mens-basketball/huskers-planning-to-hold-college-basketball-tournament-in-lincoln/article_0afca20f-f3dd-5517-8604-ec75c6b2e884.html#tracking-source=home-top-story-1 Baller move by the athletic department. Hat tip to Bill Moos.

The real question is has Robin given them crystal balls for Nebraska?

We got him right where we want him. We’ll get him on the transfer market in 2 years.

Nebby, only Nebraska haters called us that

This! And right after a cycle of negative press. Way to flip the script.

Robin just put up an article— this is actually really really cool and a great opportunity for Nebby!!

Ah, sorry it went past me. I'm a lot dumber than you think that I thought that I thought I was once.

Duke pulled out in order to host their own bubble at Cameron.

Phuk Dook.

I mean... Nebraska has built the national reputation of "we'll do whatever we need to in order to have live sports." Might be more of a guarantee to attend a Nebraska bubble tournament than one of the other established ones at this point.

Lol

Duke pulled out of their tourney.... just saying.

My strategy. Wear RED.

For the record this was said tongue in cheek.

Speaking of pro/rel... Once Sacramento Republic joins MLS, that opens up a spot in USL Championship. Oakland Roots SC was selected to move from NISA to USL Championship. I'm not sure of the politics around that decision, but they should just let the performance on the field decide that in a promotion/relegation system. At least between NISA/USL One and USL Championship.

Nebraska football fans are the whiniest people on the face of the planet. I've never heard anyone complain about hard their schedule is more than NU fans do. The teams in the East Division has to play way more difficult schedule. Who cares if you have to play Ohio State first, last, or ever, just shut up and play. As a player, you love a schedule like this but the NU fans want a cupcake schedule to try and finally get more wins. Don't want to earn it by getting better, want to have it handed to you by playing easier opponents. It's not the job of other teams on the conference to get worse, it's your job to get better. Fans make it sound like the Big 10 sits around all day and just try to think of ways to screw Nebraska. If you are one of the people that actually believe that, I can't help you.

And we are still Nebrasketball.

Woo Boy— our HS recruiting continues to strugggggleee.

Definitely disappointed. Not sure how literally every analyst in the country could get this one wrong. It's their job to find insider info, and typically they are accurate. Guys that project correctly 95%+ of the time were on record saying he was coming here. This one stings.

Yeah, don't ever count on crystal ball predictions (247 or Rivals or whatever) no matter what. Especially from local guys.

Live look at Robin Washut’s recruiting predictions these past few months

Boy our HS recruiting has not been ideal... Not sure whats going on but I feel our coaching staff felt we had this guy and Sanoga locked up and came up empty on both..
