Altman's or Otzelberger's if you ask these two

To be fair, he said there is a reason Altman is FROM Nebraska, that may have more to do with Altman than it does with Nebraska...Walton is generally very appreciative of every PLACE...that said, it's more likely his running hype hysteria about the Pac-12 his professed "CONFERENCE OF CHAMPIONS" (#onebidleague) Having Bill as a constant presence on UA broadcasts here in Tucson, I do have to say, when Dave Pasch finally snaps and kills Bill, no jury in the land will convict him.

Then it was all worth it.

As soon as I can get to Lincoln.

From Wilbur to Westwood - the Dana Altman 30 for 30

Who won?

I like Tim. I'd like to see him be successful. What is going to be different in year 8 than in years 1-7? If I'm the AD, LAST YEAR, I sit down and work out a plan, ask "What do you need?" agree to a real extension but reduce/eliminate the termination buyout. I let him bring in consultants and find veteran mentors. As the AD, I say positive things every week, especially during 11 and 2, but even during the slide. I embrace Miles and spare no expense to make sure there is every chance to succeed. If, at the end of the season, the record is unacceptable then I wish him well and move on, offering Tim the position of associate Athletic Director for Basketball.

But...if there is a track and field practice two days after Nebraska's third round game of the B1G tournament will Pollard be at the game? Asking for 15k friends.

On which part? The last time I followed baseball Puckett played for the Twins, so I'm not up on the challenges of the baseball program.

Thanks for the data. It certainly points to the coaching deficiency, but that is one of the concerns about the commitment. Every program you noted has had coaches who were household names or coaches who were good enough to step up to bigger opportunities, who has left Nebraska for a better job? Ask anyone outside Nebraska to name two Nebraska basketball coaches. They can't. We don't get the coaches who will make a difference because the impression, right or wrong, is that this is a career killer. We got a perfect storm of recruits in the early 90s and it is our last big splash, but Danny vs Roy, Johnny, Dana, Billy, Lon, Larry, Eddie, or Norm...? How did those years even happen? We've never been close to a hire like those coaches.

We go through this cycle every 5-7 years, blaming the coach for failing to achieve the success that is our Bob-given right as Husker fans...doesn't matter if it is FB or MBB and until the mid-90s, even Tom wasn't immune, but the only constants in all of this are the fans and the level of investment of the University. At Nebraska, FB gets investment and attention and despite some hires we can all argue about, Nebraska wins at a better than average rate and makes bowl games more than any other comparably sized states. As a comparison, when I moved to AZ in 1998 when Arizona (pop. 7 million+) and NU (pop. almost 2 million) matched up in the Holiday Bowl. Since then the U of A has 9 bowls in the last 20 seasons, Nebraska has 17 in 20 can you guess which fanbase is more upset? MBB gets the administration love at U of A and lo and behold...18 of 20 for NCAA tournament appearances to 2 for 20 for Nebraska. We can argue that Arizona is a basketball school, but that only happened because they committed to getting a top coach (Lute Olson) and sticking with him and then after a couple of missteps, hiring Sean Miller. Miller is now embroiled in rumors in the FBI investigation, but I've heard almost no calls for him to be fired for it (especially compared to the absolute fan meltdown when he "can't get past the Elite 8") Miller is receiving the full support of the UA administration despite the conviction of one of his assistants, the termination of two others, and his pending subpoena...a far cry from the indifference of the NU admins to the B1G run. (Nebraska basketball 11th in attendance in 2018, Arizona 16th) I think the national media has a point and a bias when they say Nebraska competing on the biggest stage is improbable, because it's a small state, smallest in the B1G, and it lacks the wealth of in-state talent, and it lacks obvious natural recruiting lures (beaches, sun, major cities) you only have to look at the thread on the flooding on our very own board to see why Nebraska isn't for everyone. BUT...the administration has failed the fans, the coaches, and the players by not giving 100% to the effort to make the MBB program a priority and make us at least as competitive as the Creightons/ISUs/KSUs of the world. Tim may not be THE guy...but if the support doesn't change, no one ever will be.

Agree with all your points. Anyone telling you they thought Nebraska would win 3 of 4 this week is a liar, so I understand Moos buying a ticket, but the spring game is today. An individual with his resources could easily have rebooked to show his complete support for his coach and team. It looks good even if you want Tim gone, because the next guy sees how you stand by the program. I'm fine with trying to head off the questions about the coaching decision, but the lack of any congratulations in the release shows opposition to what the team is trying to accomplish. On that note, if Miles was in an ultimatum situation and was being directed through mandate or manipulation to coach/rotate against his own judgment then I can't blame THIS season on him. If the inferences made by some in the punditry, and Kent's cryptic tweet indicates that Miles was hindered from doing his job, then the failure is on the administration. Coach Miles has not achieved the success we all thought everyone was rooting for, but if anyone out there with an N on their lapel limited his chances overtly or covertly they should be out.

Were you playing the "Everytime they say 'six scholarship players'" drinking game??

I wonder if the deliberate offense is helping. I know we all want end-to-end and dunks, but it seems like the short bench has made them play slower and forced smarter possessions and better passing and movement

All six of them?

A great win for a team that needed it. I'd like to see them find that same fight from the opening tap on Wednesday and keep hope flowing as long as possible.

I appreciate the lack of quit, but the lack of start, and middle just kill us.

As if Bohannan and bad corn weren't enough...WTH is the benefit of a white outline around yellow letters with no space between letters? Even their font is an abomination.

4th leading scorer in the B1G. Imagine if he was hitting 40 percent

Fouls were Iowa 5, Nebraska 4 Suddenly Iowa 5 Nebraska 9

I was going to say...I don't even know what's a foul anymore, but then I realized that qualifies me.to.be a B1G referee.

Might be a Hoiberg we could afford.

If we hire him as coach you would.only have to put up.with him for 7 years...max.

Saying Tillman was wide open is as huge an understatement as has ever been made.

Broadcaster's"Who else wants a career high?" might be a better tourism slogan than "It's not for everyone."
