Husker Hoops Penitent

I want to thank all of the faithful for reading without prejudice as well as offering excellent insights and comments. I know it was bombastic but I needed to purge. I want to state, I love Hoiberg and the staff and hope for the best. It is tough and I don't presume to have any answers. He is working hard and is brilliant, witty and funny. I love NU and am a graduate and have stuck with the team since I first began listening and watching (live and on t.v) back in 1976. You dance with the one that brung 'ya, so I will persevere.... The sun will still rise, indeed. Cheers, mates!

NU basketball & football motto: "We do less with more!" There are some on this site who know hopelessness but cannot find the strength to express it, most however cannot even abide the thought. It is the other cohort I am speaking to: the few who are brave enough say to themselves: NU is shit, has always been shit, and will ride the asymptotic curve of shit into eternity- right down to the Planck-scale. It is to you- the small set of fans who have heard the chimes at midnight lo these many decades and cannot waste any more time picking over the bones and viscera of this holocau

Nebraska basketball and football are funny. NU needs a new motto: "we do less with more"!

MSU 86 NU 47

HuskerFever, I think it means we can speed up the tempo in our quest to defend our status as defenders of the cellar!

I have to eat humble pie: I was one of the worst offenders re: Stevenson. I thought he would be one of our best.

Still have a shot at 0-20!

Huskerpapa, I think the new normal will be close, if not exactly like your list above. America is now a failed state, rapidly devolving into a third world disaster. It likely won't improve (look at the history of empires), but the one certainty is the last one, which henceforth shall apply to both basketball (obviously), and football. The "wait 'til next year" shibboleth will finally go into the long night once the last person born in the 1980s dies. As is said about scientific advances: they progress one funeral at a time. Happy new year anyway, Husker fait

Agree, hhcscott! Take heart, I worked out the simulations and the computer vomited out the following: NU will actually be a near-bubble team (in February) in 2044, so take your vitamins!

I'm with you- and writing this from the asylum in which I have been contained since the 70s when I began torturing myself each winter. I won't give up and still thank God the He sent us Coach Hoiberg. It isn't hard to let go and hope for better results next year, and as several keen observes have noted- our metrics are improving. The record isn't but eventually the math will begin to make sense in the macro. Here's to a happy and blessed new year for each one of you on this board. God be praised!
