I appreciate your optimism, but top 10? I could rattle off WAY more that without even making much of an effort. I’ll be thrilled if we hire him, but I’m not all wide-eyed and blown away by his resume. He had a nice run at ISU, but he’s no Johnny Orr, Norm Stewart, Billy Tubbs, Jack Hartman etc. Like John Houseman use to say, “ We make our money here the old fashioned way, we EARN it.”

No, it’s a funny question. Having the best resume, which Fred arguably would doesn’t equate to anything. The list of big name Coaches who are monumental flops in a new position is too lengthy to mention.

It’s now being debated on the radio if Fred Hoiberg, when he steps on Campus will be the greatest Nebraska Basketball Coach ever. Let’s overlook the fact his record would be 0-0 & people like Cipriano & Nee coached here nearly 15 years each. It reminds me of last summer when people wondered if LeBron James was the greatest Laker ever...

Let’s not forget the most important part of this debate: it cost me cash money ?!

Freddy’s gonna roll into the Twin Cities with a sharp Red Nebraska polo shirt on and tell everyone within earshot of the “Nebraska Way” when it comes to Hoops. This hire will tower over those at AZ, AK & UCLA & we will once again ( for a weekend) be the darlings of the College Basketball world.

Sipple is banging on the Ty Lue drum again, maybe they’ll do an Altman piece tomorrow since Oregon is out of the Tournament.

That “phantom” foul on Tennessee that sent the game to overtime was beyond Bulls**t. Plus, it looked like his heel was out of bounds. That bracket is shot, now I have to hang my hat on Texas Tech, UVA, & Houston in my other 3!

Is this payback for Houston Nutt?

Yeah but Palmer was a Junior, Tanner and Johnny are Seniors, older & with no Pro aspirations...

By yer Senior year in College, even if you CAN come back, most young men are ready to move on. Think of yourself at that age, I couldn’t wait to get out of school. Now of course I’d give my right arm to play one year of College basketball ?

I thought we’d waltz into the Tournament, I thought JPJ would be B1G POY, I thought I’d be heading to Des Moines this weekend, so that being said I’m hanging up my little “thinking cap” for awhile... Baseball season starts tomorrow anyway, Go Twins!

Maybe it’s more like a “Hot Tub Time Machine”?

I’d rather get Hersey Hawkins than Brian Wardle...

Let’s hope Coach *blank* can keep him on Campus.

It’s easy to speculate about Nana, Karrington, Amir but that’s all it would be. Molinari is officially the “Interim Coach” a title he held at MN but what does that even mean? Someone to answer the phone if it rings.

Anything you think or assume might happen, you can throw right out the window. Now I hear Hoiberg is luke warm on Nebraska & we’ve been in touch with the Bradley coach.

And so it begins...

If Hoiberg isn’t the “lock” we’re led to believe I was hoping they’d give Musselman a look...

GATA = “40 Minutes of Hell”!

Hawkeye fans would trade Fran for Fred in a minute...

I’m guessing Moos threw out that “3 candidates” line just to throw the hounds off his trail...

I wonder if Musselman is one of the 3 now that Nevada is out of the Tournament?

Not surprised, that paper is written on the level of a 6th grader and it shows...

That’s complete, out of context, sensationalist Bulls**t!

He said he’s spoken to Hoiberg, can’t comment on his level of interest...
