Nebrasketball1979

I think Nebraska has several things going for it in comparison to Kansas: 1). I don't believe Hoiberg would be super excited to coach against his Alma mater 2-3 times a year. 2). No one knows for sure if the NCAA is going to drop the hammer on Kansas or any other school connected to the FBI case. For that matter, I don't believe Kansas has been explicitly linked but there is a lot of smoke there and Self leaving only creates more questions. 3). Expectations are much lower here. If Hoiberg wins 1 game in the tournament each of the next three years at Nebraska, he would be a hero. At Kansas, he would be disappointing and on the hot seat. Nebraska is a good job. It's not impossible to win here and if Miles isn't retained, we would be as lucky to land Hoiberg as he would be to find a job like Nebraska.

I suspect Miles would want to come back as some sort of motivational life coach for the student athletes in the athletic department. It would be a 4 month job. He'd likely work exceptionally hard during football and volleyball seasons and then be excused unexpectedly during basketball season.

I called them this morning and they are emailing out all tickets tomorrow morning. If you don't have them by tomorrow afternoon, I would call.

Sure, I am full of good luck and quite honestly, i can see the future and I see you and Nebrasketball winning big over the next few weeks. Are you ok sending me money to my Nigerian address to buy these lotto tickets ? I promise to reach back out to you when you win.

Ha, thanks but I'm expecting to still have to pick for 5 more games!!! ?

Good news - we are in! Splurged on $20 club level seats ?. I will say it wasn't a seamless process. I had to go through the order process about a dozen time as I kept getting error messages when trying to pay...system kept saying my transaction had timed out, which it hadn't based on the 15 minute countdown. So, I probably have unknowingly purchased 24 tickets so I'll have many extra for HHC friends! With my son being on spring break, we are also packing for multiple days in the hopes of a 2nd home game or a trip down to Fort Worth! GBR!

Trying to grab tickets but looks like the site is possibly struggling with demand or all the scalpers trying to scoop them up!!!

Howdy...excited to see this team play at least one more time, especially if they continue to play with the heart and effort they did over the final week of the season. Question - does anyone know how/when/if the University is going to release tickets to the public? My son and I are going to fly in for the game and I'd love to get tickets sooner than later so we don't pay super high prices on 3rd party sites. Learned this lesson for the Cal St. Fullerton game!!!

If our options were hypothetically down to Collins and a mid-major, I sure hope Miles invites Moos over for dinner and several drinks and they agree on a long term extension for Miles.

What are the chances that Moos or higher ups at Nebraska are working behind the scenes to make sure we aren't invited to the NIT? I know what Boehm said a few days ago but would it really shock anyone if the administration was working this angle? And honestly, that may just he best for all parties, especially Miles if they know they are firing him.

Hmmm, interesting point but I guess I will play devil's advocate and say if there was 1 player that was a cancer (say Nana), you would think Miles would lean on his experience with Biggs and would have suspended him much sooner

Here is some irony. Assuming Miles coaches the team in the NIT and goes on a run, we could end the season with 22 wins by making it to MSG or 23 by winning the whole dang thing. Didn't Moos say he wanted to see consistency in the program before the season? I say the last statement tongue and cheek but I do wonder if Moos would prefer to not have those optics considering he also said it wasn't an NCAA or bust situation for Miles.

That is an outstanding point and I do think we had behind the scenes discussions or feelers put into Dana's camp. I agree with what you said in a earlier post about Dana's agent might have just played the rumors well; however, I really don't think the extension happens right in the middle of the PAC 12 tournament unless there is at least a little bit of substance.

We will have to agree to disagree on this one. In all honesty, it's pretty easy to ignore those interview requests. I mean, he could just ignore those requests much like the last two AD's have ignored the program the past two years. His statement really doesn't squash any speculation, if anything the non-statement statement shined a microscope on the program and has many talking heads in the hoops world bashing him and our athletic department on social media. Not exactly sure what that accomplished. In any event, if Miles is gone, and I do think he is, I really hope you are right about Fred.

If you need another example that getting hit in the head repeatedly is detrimental to your long term health, well, here you go.

What in the world are you waiting for...I am on #2, which I know is at least a half dozen behind many members of this board!

I posted this over on the post game thread as the debate was initially raging there: What I think is unfair is that if you know you are firing Miles, then just fire him sooner than later so he can find another gig, if he wants one, and before they all get filled in the coming weeks. I know that Miles is under contract and obligated to coach as required by his contract. However, if you are holding him just to buy time or let him finish the season in the NIT, that just seems like bad business. Fire him and name Lewis interim coach if Miles is gone regardless. Miles deserves better than this. He has been nothing but classy and has never done anything to embarrass the University...read between the lines on that one. This was so predictable of an administration that has given two shits about this team and coaching staff for the last couple seasons.

Maybe it was a drunk tweet that his handlers didn't know about?

Great effort, fight, and spirit from this team. Three games of excellent game plans and coaching. Copeland's injury derailed the season but these kids fought like hell to try and salvage it. I believe they did salvage the NIT and hope they get to go play in MSG and bring home a title. if Tim is gone, we better damn well have a home run hire lined up because Tim has built a great foundation here and I hope he gets to see it through. Rome wasn't built in a day and apparently Nebrasketball can't be built in a 100 years but man, we feel close.

Another smart call from the bench for the foul there to get to the under 4 timeout. Kids are playing their hearts out and coaches are coaching their tails off. Super proud of this team, regardless of how last three minutes go.

It's about time for a call or two or five to go our way!

Like the timeout there...guys do look fatigued for the first time. Also get another at under 8. Smartly played there by Tim

Are you kidding me...in honor of Kent, holy christmas, this is so much fun. Need to get over the hump and take the lead!

Gard seems pleasant to play for and like he is in a good mood
