The Polish Rifle

I think no way in hell they’re in.

I want Doc to be in Lincoln forever. It'd be great if he worked within the Athletic Department in some capacity. Unrelated, but I would love to have a beer (or 6) with Doc.

I really don't follow recruiting too closely. What type of role will Lloyd have? He's listed as a PG and SF on 247 which is really confusing. Big Combo Guard? Guessing he won't be a primary ball handler next season?

Hows Marlon Lucky for a legacy comp? Huge expectations, really good player, not a lot of wins. Kinda lost in the history book.

It's all gonna come down to the bats. Our pitching is good enough to get us to a regional. Maybe yesterday is clouding my judgment, but they put up some awful ABs against the KSU starter who was throwing mid-80s with little movement.

I've lowered my expectations on them quite a bit. I hope I'm wrong too. They seem destined for a rebuilding year though. They're young and will show some glimpses, but think they'll be a .500 team when it's all said and done.

Sadly, the 3 game stretch at the end of the year will probably be the high water mark for men's athletics this year.

Game on the line (twice!) and Trey and Verge just try and steamroll through 5 guys.

What a nice 2nd half. Glad they could remind us why we sucked so bad this season.

That was FREAKING AWESOME, my self ban in game thread continues.

I texted a buddy 3 separate times that they should pull Gomes. Wasn't locating and according to Greg and Ben, his body language wasn't great. I get trying to manufacture confidence, when you can afford too. At 2-6 you're not afforded that luxury.

Still really early, but hoping to see them put some complete all-around games together this weekend. Started to see glimpses on Sunday. It's time for the leaders to step up. Shay and Perry need to start giving us 6-7 innings. Max and Brice need to be all-conf type players. When your two best position players look like (to steal a football term) JAG, and your two most important pitchers are serving up BP - you're gonna have bad time.

I haven't posted in the game thread the last 2 games. I’ve now imposed a self ban on the game threads. I’m doing my part.

Yeah, a 15-17 or 14-18 type season would be an insane improvement, but does that even move the needle? Thats still no NIT, no meaningful games at the end of the year. 18+ wins doesn't even seem like its in the realm of possibility.

What does it have to look like next year for Fred to be coaching come fall 2023? We could make significant progress, double our wins, basically look like Northwestern this season - and I still don't think that would be enough. Feels like at the very least we would need to be in that 7-10 in the B1G range, and a bubble team.

Who is Wormtongue......actually don't answer that.

Admirable by Hoiberg. He could have made us buy him out, but this shows commitment to getting this done here at Nebraska. One last ride with Fred, all or nothing.

Congrats on the seat upgrade @Norm Peterson.

I think we were a tournament team but the committee is basically 100% analytics these days, so the writing was on the wall. This is still more fun then discussing the current state of the program at least!

Unpopular opinion. Our team that year had a pretty terrible tournament resume, and if it were any other team we probably would all understand why they were left out. **Ducks**

The Iowa win Year 1 was nice. We're 4-55 against the Power 6 since then.

Beilein is much too old for a Nebraska rebuild. Blais was 10 years younger and wasn't out of coaching. Warming came back to a community he knew, to take over for one of his former assistants, at a lower pressure job - and was still years younger than Beilein. He's gonna turn 70 next year, not the time to take over a massive rebuild in a tough conf.

Probably drinking ensure, fishing, and walking at the mall.

Him and Trev are the same age and grew up half an hour from each other. What are the chances they know each other?

I didn't realize Jans resume was that good.
