He's a well respected coach. But hasn't won much. So who knows.............

Mike Riley it is......

I watched the game off and on while also trying to watch all the B1G/ACC games. They struggled to score on a Tulsa team without a lot of height but plays good D...sound like anyone you know? The three big men are ok...they definitely know how to finish if one of the guards draws a double team...they're not nearly as formidable as the Seminole's rotation so I think we'll see our guards/wings attack the rim more. Brooks and Chapman did a good job at penetrating and initiating the offense...throttle these guys and it's gonna be a real ugly offensive game. That Oklahoma win they had seems like one of those games we had last year at the Pinnacle where the arena ate up the other team....like us overcoming Indiana last year. I'm not sure they find that sort of energy during their first trip to the PBA. They're an average shooting team that's going to have to win #Nebrasketball ugly this year in a lot of games. This team isn't going to fold and they're still a 3 point shooting team playing against a Nebraska squad yet to play a complete game so any thoughts about blowing out these guys are akin to Jim Tressel walking in at halftime. As long as we don't hack these guys into a ton of points we should be able to hold them to a low enough score where we don't need to be lights out on offense to win comfortably. JT rumors starting up again. I hope this means a blowout on Sunday! Unfortunately I'm having a hard time seeing Tressel as the guy although it would be great. Can someone confirm this? I heard that wherever Tressl were to coach...he'd have to sit out the first 5 games due to the sanctions at Ohio State. Would we want a head coach like that here? Only speaking for me of course...but if this is the case I know I'd not want to deal with that kind of baggage. I doubt it's true. And yes he would have to sit out the first 5 games...and any postseason game. I would want Tressel here, and I understand some won't. With that being said...him landing here is probably not reality at this point. But who knows....not much leaking out of the AD office.

I would have loved Beliema...but I'm pretty sure his agent just floated that out there.

Predictions for Miles halftime tweet for Krayton? I say..."I've never seen so many white guys on the court."

I think OSU will be pretty salty by the end of the year.

I've been thinking/saying this since the first week. Love this guy. He doesn't make a lot of mistakes and is icy cold when he squares up.That said,I'm not throwing tai under the bus like SOME PEOPLE *ahem*. I still believe in the kid. I think after what Benny has shown us we can't be quick to judge these kids ever again. Nobody is saying throw Tai to the sharks or pull his scholarship...but is it really THAT wrong to say right now Tarin should be eating up some of the minutes Tai is getting? Tai needs to play...especially because we have limited depth but he's still swimming in it. And Tarin may hit a brick wall also...but right now I think Tarin brings more to the table.

But with the limited amount of minutes Tarin has been playing he can give Petteway or Shields a blow no? Smith has played pretty darn well for a frosh thus far. He's going to be a good one.

May not be the best win on paper. But I had this as a loss at the start of the year and was much needed. Refs were brutal and made it hard to get in a groove. I think it's time...Tarin should be taking Websters minutes. Tarin has looked better. Tai was lazy on defense tonight and still can't shoot a basketball. Benny was big again. Big 3 and a number of defensive stops. Great to see Walt hit a few.

Bad news Terran fouled out. Good news Tai fouled out.

Lmao...talk about a home court call.

Why is Webster on the court over Smith? My word

Who would you rather have shooting Dochay? Tai Webster?

Benny!

Defense is just garbage this half

Not sure FSU has enough offense to come back from 16. Nice half Huskers. Lets pour it on next half.

Great half thus far! Fouls are a concern but we are playing well on offense.

What don't you agree with Tom Osborne about? You think he waited too long to fire Doc? You disagreed with his hiring of Tim Miles? Did he wait too long to fire Mike Anderson? Should he not have hired Darin Erstad? Did you not like the move to the Big Ten? The Pelini hire? Frank Solich as his replacement? What? I'm intrigued and curious to know what you disagree with Tom Osborne about. Yes.Yes.Yes.No.No.No.Yes Doesn't sound like Osborne has made many coaching hire/retain/fire decisions that you would agree with. Especially when it comes to football. So isn't that an argument against putting any stock in what he has to say about Tressel? Misread your first post. I actually agreed with the Pelini hire. With that said...this wouldn't be a Solich or a Pelini. This would be a HC that has won 6 Big Ten titles and a National Title. So needless to say he has got it done...and then some. My guess is Silver was more so talking about Tressel's issues at Ohio St rather than his ability to coach. That's why I posted what I did.

Wasn't intending to "call you out." And I never said I wasn't happy about the three coaches. Or...two I should say. Bo Pelini has been fired.

Well that was written in 2011 and have you ever heard Tom say anything bad about anybody? I just think he isn't what we need right now. Has he changed? Maybe, I don't know, just why bring all the eyes on us like that? Just me, but then it really doesn't matter who is here because I have no say in who we hire, but can choice to like it after ward. Not sure what the date has to do with anything as this was after Tressel's time at OSU. With that said, I don't think TO is a liar and I take his opinion on Tressel as face value. Who knows if he is the guy...if he is, I'll be pretty excited about the direction of the program.

I don't Treessel is the man. Hope it's not true...I think we will know this week who was hired. And will probably be introduced to the crowd for the Creighton game.

And Silver...not that you have to agree with Tom Osborne on everything...I certainly don't. But if he can back Tressel...can't you? http://espn.go.com/blog/ncfnation/post/_/id/42134/nebraskas-tom-osborne-backs-jim-tressel I hope he's the man and if so...A+ hire IMO. If he is hired my guess is Perlman and Eichorst already have their ducks in a row in regards to the NCAA show cause on JT.

My sources may be wrong Silver...who really knows outside of a few folks in the AD? But...you may want to start looking for another team to root for. I think Tressel is going to be our man.
