    It's one game at the beginning of the season!   Lot's of ups and downs left to go on this roller coaster ride of Nebrasketball.

    Mr. Red got a reaction from throwback in 2014-15 Nebraska Basketball Schedule Poster   
    I personally think it is the best poster in years.  It just screams "team" 
     
    The "team" mindset was great when we had mediocre to good individual players, but now that we have good to great individual players the "Us Always" mantra is even better to see!

    Nice story about Doc. A really class act as a person and I always wish him the best.

    I'm pretty sure Lee meant that he's never heard a bad word about Doc as a person.  Of course he's heard people bash his coaching.

    Mr. Red reacted to Shuttlesworth in The Exorcist   
    Miles often refers to his Elementary Ed schooling, but the guy is a bonafide psychologist. It was quite appropriate that HE narrated the "What If" video this time around. (The same script read by a voice resembling Morgan Freeman during the season opener).
    There is something to be said for truly believing in a process, or in anything really. And it's crazy what can be accomplished by simply believing in something. Miles' belief in his own process is very genuine and apparent, and it has helped guide him from Doland, SD to Head Coach in the Big Ten. He hasn't even been here two years, but now a whole fanbase believes in his process—and in this team.
    Pregame videos and pump-up narratives are often very cliché. That video wasn't. That video gave me goosebumps: The part of the video where it says, "What if one, then five, then fifteen, then fifteen thousand..." Truth be told, this wasn't just a bunch of BS spewed to appease an intro video, it was actually quite profound. (But how many people truly believed when the same script was read before the FGCU game)?
    "What If One?"
    Miles clearly states a goal of going 9-9 in the league. He makes it known that he wants to get to the tournament and win when we get there. How many people other than Miles, his staff, (and a few on this board) think that this is achievable?
    "Then Five"
    I believe it is after the Ohio State game, we are sitting 1-4, and Petteway states, "We want to get to the NCAA Tourney." Experts and the majority scoff. It becomes apparent that a handful of players start buying in, but at this point we are still anything but cohesive.
    "Then Fifteen"
    Roll out the US Always Warmup shirts. An unfortunate circumstance provides as a coming together moment for the team. We win five of our next six, including a win at Michigan State. During this stretch, collectively, the entire team buys in.
    "Then Fifteen Thousand BELIEVED?"
    The Michigan State win has the diehards believing. We appear on the bubble and in contention. Tickets to games begin to 'actually' sell out. We beat a surging Indiana team in Bloomington. A buzz can be seen and heard across the state. Ticket prices to the Wisconsin game skyrocket. The game atmosphere is electric.
    "What If I Told You It's Happening?"
    One of the biggest wins in program history is accomplished. We finish fourth in the conference. We are on the verge of our first tournament appearance in fifteen years. We are seen as a legitimate contender to win the freakin' Big Ten Tournament!

    Kent, I've been hustling to the car after games mostly to hear the postgame and also to see if you survived being as crazy excited as these games have been. I'm guessing it's impossible but you guys should put that Wisconsin broadcast out as a podcast. Charge a few bucks or whatever it takes. I'd love to buy it and listen.

    Mr. Red reacted to Kent Pavelka in The Best   
    I'm not exactly sure why I am motivated to suspend my longtime status as fan and lurker of the best Husker basketball site on the planet.  On second thought, I do know.  I am so juiced that I may never come down.
     
    Actually I just wanted to join the fray here briefly after one of the very best times in my broadcast career. This season has been the best.  The Wisconsin game was the best.  Tim Miles and his staff are the best. These players are the best.  The Vault is the best.  Nebrasketball fans are the best. The RedZone is the best.  Heck, even Matt Davison is the best.  
     
    Thanks to all of you for your meaningful, funny, heartfelt and insightful discourse on the site. I've enjoyed it for many years.  
     
    We share a passion that has been a relatively small fraternity over the years.  And the fact that we now need a bigger bandwagon, well, that's best of all.
     
    Finally, you all are the best.  Carry on.

    haha, her and her husband were probably scared away by #NOSITSUNDAY and didn't bother selling their tickets.
    THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN 15,999 and 16,000!
