Dead Dog Alley

In 20 years when Sam gets the head coaching job we should all remember that moment

If you've been to 25 straight tournaments, woe be upon you when you finally miss one. Which they won't, they'll get in at 16-15 if it comes to that.

I have no idea what Ted Kaczynski's philosophy on recruiting was; but since he was a Michigan graduate, I'd assume it would involve cheating. Which would make it very similar to Kirby Smart's philosophy.

We might see how many minutes Matar can play before fouling out. Big Ten refs view freshmen Nebraska post players as lions view a wildebeast with a bum leg.

Somebody will be spending a hell of a lot of money just to finish last in the Big Ten.

Nicely done! It was a game at Hordville, in 1976. And yes, the acoustics have always been bad in there.

Bill Byrne flew down to Tulsa and then apparently didn't foot the bill for the barbecue that night. https://omaha.com/sports/college/huskers/teams/mens-basketball/barfknecht-why-kansas-coach-bill-self-turned-down-a-1-million-offer-from-husker-basketball/article_ed67359a-c080-59ef-8cc6-158dfdc731ca.html

I think Jesus would pattern his uniforms on Hampton's in the 70's, it would be a huge advantage:

Nebraska's NIT championship catapulted the program to a quarter century of dominance

So, do we have a realistic hope to hire someone better than: Tom Izzo or whoever replaces him? No Mick Cronin? No Dana Altman? No Matt Painter? No Chris Holtzmann? No Brad Underwood? No Steve Pikeill? No Chris Collins? No Andy Enfield? No Kevin Willard? No Fran McCaffery? No Greg Gard? Probably not, especially considering its an established program Mike Woodson? Probably not, he can recruit Whoever replaces Juwan Howard? No Whoever replaces Ben Johnson? Probably not Mike Hopkins, or whoever replaces him? Maybe, or probably not Mike Rhoades? Possibly So, if we're lucky and make a good hire, we might end up with the 15th best coach in the conference. With the lack of recruiting base and the lack of tradition, our biggest hope is that maybe we'll still be playing on Tuesday the week of the Big Ten tournament.

That and the fact that the Big 10 has no qualms about f**king over a university they didn't really want in the first place

Turns out, hiring a guy with a serious heart condition to turn around the worst major college program wasn't a great idea

No one with any kind of future that is in their right mind wants this job

I can see Nebraska being a bubble team for the next ten years, where we will be wondering all February long whether or not we'll make the tournament. The Big Ten tournament that is.

Just so we can wait five more years before realizing the next guy is also a bum that we have to pay $30 million to leave

I don't think Trev wants to make many of these calls:

Kelly Pfieffer works for spite, and you can't put a price tag on that...

Their roster gets confusing if you go by their appropriate names. Douche McDoucheott Doucher Doucherman Douchan Douchebrenner Douchen Doucheworth Douchaac Douchedt Doucheson Doucher

From the DN archives, the game article is below. The sports page had a bigger write up for a wrestling meet than for the win over a Number 1 ranked team for only the second time ever.

So, he ranked all 22 unbeaten teams 1-22, and Nebraska was last?

It would really be weird if his oldest brother was buried in Homer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_James_Hart

Kevin Cross's career high at Nebraska was the same as Derrick Walker's career high at Nebraska (23 points); KC was 18 years old and Walker was 25 when those games occurred.

Let us not forget that November 22 is a date of great historical significance. On November 22, 1978, the greatest five minutes of sitcom history was aired.
