Faux Mike Peltz

Even published one of the students name. Millard West kid. My son goes to MW. Need to teach them about the downfalls of being a Jaysker

We should start a Omaha Diehard group and just go to Refs and eat food while we watch the game there…

He will score 6 against Creighton and drop 33 against the Spurs next year…

100 percent agree. It’s amazing how the narrative around Fred is that he and mostly Matt A can get them here, but he can’t X’s and O’s them to beat the W. Illinois’ of the world. Also, should be noted, I sit in row 1 of the 200 level. My son and I were the only two taken. 8 others were empty…

Yeah, I deserve it though, I make all the Husker fans dress in red and all the bluejay fans dress in blue. Then we gather for a group picture and tweet it at the respective athletic department accounts. One year Tom Shatel retweeted it and said “this is why this game really matters…the workplace banter” The bluejay alums are mostly respectful to me- i make sure to talk plenty before the game.

Hey guys. Sorry for my vent. Lifelong diehard here. My family purchased season tickets when I was in 8th grade- back in 1990. (I know, I’m old) Experienced the highs of Nee’s teams to being a proud member of the “6500” barflencht coined us during the Collier years, to attending Doc’s basketball 101 events, to befriending players on Coach Miles teams. Thought Fred was an absolute home run “I can’t believe we got him” hire. I work with about 50% bluejay alums. I bet them donuts for the office every year. I’ll be waking up early tomorrow to buy 7 dozen and get crap thrown- and deservedly so. I drive from Omaha to each home game. Leave work early to make the 6pm games. Even took a half day of PTO today to “prepare” for the CU game. I just told my son I have no motivation to leave work Friday and go watch the team against Idaho State. I’ll go to the Sunday game, but this is just painful to watch. It’s like they’re not even being coached. I drive thousands of miles (I calculated and it’s kind of sobering) every season to pay my $5 to park so I can make the trek over the bridge while I can’t feel my face in January and hope it doesn’t start to be white out conditions for the drive home so I can see my daughter and wife again and don’t slide into the ditch so I could see Verge go 4-23. And do it again and again. I buy into the hype as much as anyone. Tominaga is close to Curry. Lat made 88 out of 100 threes. Keon would start at most schools- so would Wilcher, Wilhelm has grown to 6-10, up from 6-9, Bryce is already a lottery pick….I must love punishment. Actually, most of us longtime season ticket holders and diehards must. I have balls of steel from them being kicked so many times. When I think about all of the money I throw out the window on tickets, gas, mileage, my time, etc, etc…it’s probably not a great investment. But I’ll keep coming back. I’ll keep clinging on hope that we get it figured out. That Verge will settle in and become a distributor. The Tominaga hones in his bombs. That Walker remembers he had to sit out games and to play like he did when he first was eligible. That K-Web will lead us now to some wins. That is all. I’m down. I’m spending 80+ bucks on donuts to feed my overweight bluejay coworkers tomorrow morning. This is my 7th year I’ve lost the bet, out of 8 years there. No worries, I now budget for it….

I hate them with all my heart, but I actually admire the system and discipline in which they play. I think I just threw up in my mouth typing “admire”

I’d tell him father Joseph wouldn’t approve….

I’ve watched every game from start to finish since Fred’s been our coach, and I wouldn’t use “good” and x’s and o’s together. There have been a couple of memorable out of bounds plays that have sprung an open look, but he doesn’t really have a system, so to speak. Coach Mac does, and guys fill into the system. Fred changes his offensive philosophy based on his personnel. Give me a consistent system and identity all day over individual minded athletic four stars…

What system?? I’ve yet to see Fred have a true system…

Refs aren’t calling all the fouls…

I mean, most of us knew it, but can openly admit it. X’a and O’s, Mac outclasses Hoiberg by a decent margin. Recruiting (without 100k and the promise of a good job) Matt A is our magic bullet.

I’ll say it again. Sit Verge. Play Kobe.

Play Webster. Sit Verge.

Verge pretty much cost us

Verge will be the death of me

I think Verge is kind of our new Teddy…

I listened to the postgame. It was short and blunt. KP asked coach “can you find any type of silver lining at all from a game like this?” And coach just responded: “No, I can’t, at all” Did say his guys needed to find the want to and find physicality quick if they want to be successful. Stating the obvious, but it’s 100 percent true

If we play remotely like this CU will run us out of the gym…

accidentally posted this in the game thread: Had some time to gather my thoughts. long drive back up to Omaha. I’ve seen that movie before. As soon as we missed the second free throw, I said “we’re going to lose…” Im a diehard and dedicated fan who makes the commute from Omaha. I get permission to leave work early so I can make the 6pm tipoffs. I’m going to have a hard time sitting through 17 or however many home games are remaining if that’s what I’ll see. No fire or passion. Very little energy. Very little effort on the boards. Didn’t see too many guys box out. I taught my upward first graders how to box out. It can be taught. But a player has to want to do it. Verge and Bryce playing hero ball- yes they both got 25 - but took plenty of attempts to do so. We need Exhibition Verge, not ASU Verge. Wish Hoiberg would’ve called a TO after the 5th or 6th example and adjusted the offensive attack. Way too stagnant by the other guys. My son had the quote of the night “I wish you could put Trey’s motor in Bryce’s body” And finally: Simon Says, Make your free throws down the stretch!!!

Second chance points: nu-3 W. Illinois - 20

1) we miss Kobe. I believe he’s settle us down. 2) I could go a few season without Steve Max at halftime.

It’s walkers birthday.today. Must be excused from rebounding. Giving 0 effort on the glass. Actually just watched him not jump three times and watch the opposing team shoot tip backs.

Lots of hero ball
