I'm going this year

Have to think that Hoiberg helps us a TON with Carlson, being a Minnesota kid and all.

What the hell is Randy Peterson doing there? Great question, RP. Nobody in Lincoln gives two shits about Iowa State.

As we all get ready to head into a new era of Nebraska basketball, I wanted to take one last look back and thank Tim for everything he accomplished and for putting this job on the map.  Sure, the inside of our house isn't complete yet, but you would be absolutely lying to yourself if you say that Tim and Co. didn't lay a solid foundation for this program to take the next step.  There were certainly lows throughout his time here, but here were oh so many highs as well.  It's easy to remember the lows, and there have been enough threads about that for one lifetime.  I wanted to point out a few of the highs and my fondest memories.   
 
March 24th, 2012:  Tim Miles was named the next head coach of the University of Nebraska.

 
 
November 8th 2013:  Tim Miles and Co. open Pinnacle Bank Arena.  Not only did we knock off America's darling (Florida Gulf Coast), we started what would become one of the best home court advantages in both the Big 10 and the nation.  In addition to this, we would go on a run for the ages later this year.

 
February 16th, 2014: Nebraska is in the heart of the Big 10 season.  Sitting at 13-10 and 5-6, there is some hope in Husker nation that we might be able to make something of this season.  A huge road game loomed at Michigan State.  Result?  Nebraska in the upset.  I would say the game that started it all for our dancing hopes.
 
March 9th, 2014: We all remember it.  How could you not?  One of the best atmospheres I have ever seen... and it was on TV.  NO SIT SUNDAY was a resounding success.  The famous Kent quote of "Let's Twerk" still rings in my mind.  Chills every time I watch this.  The Petteway three was one of the loudest moments I think I have heard on TV.
 
March 16th, 2014: For the first time in nearly 20 years, Nebraska gets the opportunity to dance.

 

I've played with all of the players on last years team except Copeland and Roby. Palmer is incredible, Costello can shoot better than anyone i've seen, Thomas is smooth, and Amir has crazy handles.

I dont think that you can say hes the best coach we've had ever until thats proven, but i think you can say this is the biggest thing to happen in Nebrasketball history.

This board feels like the week before the start of grade school summer break. All the kids are hyped up, or nervous, or biting at each other with anticipation. Once the bell rings, we can all go out and enjoy the warm weather and the time off.
 
MOOS, JUST TELL US IT'S SUMMER ALREADY!

Let Fred do Fred and go big red

He's bitching because he didn't think Miles treated him well.  Has to do with the Arop deal, I would assume.
 
It's in another thread around here, somewhere.

Miles had no problem doing it 3 times.

Wonder where Tim goes. Can't wait to see who my new second favorite team is.

Tim truly did make it cool to like Nebraska Basketball. Got our season tickets for his first season and so glad we did. The Wisconsin game is still truly the best day of my entire life; the family even cut our vacation short in California to come back the day of the game and get there just in time.. went from sitting on a plane for 3 hours, to driving to the arena, to standing for the entire game, and rushing the court afterwards. Will never forget it.

I truly hope Tim moves on to bigger and better things. The Nevada job would be great

I don't care what others say.  This was one of the brightest eras for Nebrasketball in quite some time.  Sad to see it coming to an end.  Sure, things didn't always go as planned.  But to run a clean program, make our first dance in 20 years, achieve our first 5* (transfer) of the Rivals era, and countless other things is huge.  I remain 100% behind the assumption that we don't get Hoiberg if we don't hire Tim 7 years ago.
