The ink is drying.....

How is this post aging? I've yet to see any sign of this "national negativity" today. But, it's only about noon, so I guess there's time.

Hopefully with regard to coach hiring that will turn out to be true. That doesn't mean any of his actions/non-actions can't be questioned. And as for all rumors to be "BS", I suspect you don't live in Lincoln and know what some of us know.

Generally no, they do not need to do that. But when you are putting out a statement anyway 45 minutes after a 4 game stretch that just took place, it's easy to add a sentence or two acknowledging what everyone from our fans to the BTN gang were being effusive about. Secondly, this isn't all about Miles and sometime players need to be recognized for extraordinary accomplishments (winning 4 of 5 under all the circumstances). This little gang of 6-7 players is doing some truly special stuff. It won't go down in history since we finished 13th and (so far) won a game in the NIT. But the fans see it, feel it, and turned out in impressive fashion last night to honor it. Comparing this to winning a game or 2 in football and volleyball is, well, simplistic and not analogous.

Great post. Fair to all "sides". I have said for a weeks on here that it appeared this team struggled mightily beneath the weight of rare high expectations and pressure. Personally I think it was more than just bad coaching and playing. That team wasn't having fun, wasn't together; it was palpable. Once the "collapse" was final and we went 2-11 after 11-2, we could have packed it in and called it a day. Instead the pressure was off, guys started having fun, the team came together and we're having a special couple of weeks. Was "ratcheting up the pressure" a factor? I think it contributed to it. As said, nothing is black and white and there are all sorts of factors at play. I'm sure ADs, coaches and players would like some do-overs. In the end we didn't win enough over 7 years, but two ADs could have handled the situation much better than they did. And Buglem is right, while we can be critical of some of what Moos has done, we should all want him to be successful.

FWIW, Dr. Green and his wife were at the game, openly mingling with the crowd. Dr. Bounds was not in attendance. It was announced at the game that over $28,000 in cash went into the Red Cross buckets. Proud to be a Husker last night, for sure.

More substantively, Roby was a beast and Butler had no one who could stay with him. Would have loved to get more of him while he was here, but he stepped up tonight and dominated. Early on they geared up to stop James. He did a nice job of not forcing it, and eventually the game came to him. The 2-14 hole was a problem, but we made some nice adjustments to Greg the offense moving better. Trueblood, well, what can u say. Stuff he will always remember. Got all the juice squeezed out tonight.

That was an awesome game and night. Great crowd, into it all night. Butler a bunch of chippy thugs. #5 ran his mouth all night. Man that was fun. i'm gonna always remember the last 10 days. Just remarkable. It's not gonna change anything, but to see a team come together against ridiculous odds and fight, claw and scratch for each other will always be a good memory for them, and for many of our fans. So many cliches fit. So proud of these guys. And proud to blow away the other NIT venues in attendance. Anyone who says this is meaningless struggles to understand sports, and life.

But it's word for word exactly what you said. After your sad sad performance on here the past few days, you have no basis to say"we" about anything.

Well, if you can live with yourself saying you are glad one of our players got hurt, and rooting for Butler tonight, those probably won't matter. But, being on the other side, it is somewhat cathartic to push that button.

I am late commencing my beveraging. So if we lose, blame me. It couldn't be helped. ?

12-3 final. Bring on the conference.

12-3, top of 9th.

10-3 good guys, bottom 8

To you. Are you a player? Have you ever played shit in your life? Have you ever considered anyone outside of your own universe? Did you watch the competition last night in any games? Tell the Daum family the game was completely meaningless. Tell our guys who are still busting ass that their efforts are meaningless.

Club seats are $20. If it ends up at 6-8k, it would be higher than any of last night's games I believe. Texas drew less than 2000. I saw a tweet with all the actual attendance figures, but can't find it. But crowds were mainly low 4 figures. If people start bashing based on our attendance they should first consider how it stacks up with the other games.

NU 69 Butler 64 1 win

5755.

You have exactly zero basis to state that "winning an NIT game may very well cost Nebraska its top coaching prospect". Pure and utter speculation, yet you cheer for a loss for our players. You presume to know whether the coaches are under so much stress they just can't take it any longer, vs. they really want to win with the guys they have left. TCPs comment about fast-forwarding is so on point. This is so much overthinking. A few days isn't going to change a damn thing. Let the guys play, and cheer them on.

I had kinda forgotten how wigged out the board got for a couple of weeks when Doc was fired. Now I remember.

Post of the century.

Same guy who bragged about selling his tickets to Iowa fans. Not really a Husker fan.

Well, it isn't really "all these guys", it is only one or two. And it precisely is the type of thing you earn a bashing over. Glad you can recognize it in others, but it would go a long way if you could recognize it in yourself.

Tell that to Glynn Watson, James Palmer, Tanner Borchardt, Isaiah Roby, and Johnny Trueblood. Tell it to their faces.
