I get the argument that this is all hindsight, but here is my deal, especially with the bigger guys who were playing last night. Prior to this year, we had been starved for post players. We have been filling that spot with a string of broken guys that we are just praying will get unbroken(Leslie, Moses, Copeland, probably Morrow, etc.) AND carrying at least one open scholarship for way too many years. Why not take a flier on a Thurman? Why not stick with Patton on the off chance he got his grades up? Look, I was happy when we landed all of those broken big guys because I have super red kool-aid glasses on most of the time. I was super juiced when we got Coleman(yay 5 star!), but the cold reality is we probably shouldn't be banking on a guy coming off of back surgery. Who knows, I'm just tired of seasons like this one that limp to the finish and need to vent.

Oh my god yes. Eichorst either needs to fire Miles and go pay a dude 4 mil+ a year or keep Tim and extend his contract. If you want to keep having a 2 mil mediocre coach, keep the one we have.

Fair enough, Kimball is pretty outside of my orbit. But what about Mitch Hahn? That kid can freaking shoot. Why the hell wouldn't we want a guy who can do that?

Watching that game just made me mad about our in state recruiting. You can't convince me that Hahn kid from Fremont wouldn't be nice on this team. A 6'8" dead eye shooter? Or Hollins as another senior leader? Or freaking mike daum? A sophmore from the summit league can't possibly be THAT big of a surprise if he's already that good.

Man, morrow is killing us on offense tonight. Black hole with the ball

Maybe he's gonna mess around and get a triple double. As long as no AKs come out, we should be good. Unless that's a metaphor for Jack Or jeriah...

Is it just me or do we hate this guy even more because we picked the wrong guy from butler 17 years ago? Can you imagine if we had hired Thad instead of Barry?

You know, I said to my wife as this was starting, it would be nice to just kick someone's ass for a change. No close game, just blow em out. Nice to see someone is listening to me for a change.

That last possesion was just ugly. Hell of an effort, feel bad for those guys.

Too bad ed didn't work on his passing during rehab

Missed the game since im on vacation with the family and we were at Disneyland today. I'm willing to jump on that grenade and stay here the rest of the season...

I feel like the last few seasons have been wasting special senior seasons. At some point the law of averages has to kick in on that right?

I mean, the cubs eventually won the world series right, so there's gotta be a chance. But let's break out the bags of money. And not just for the recruits, although I'm all for giving them plenty. Lets get the refs paid too. Maybe them we can play a conference game where we get to be the ones with all the free throws. We would still have to make them,but hey. Baby steps

I saw watson fall down and my heart just fell. Losing on a tough last second shot is one thing, but to fall down and give one that easy up? Damn...

Sigh. That's all I got. This was the absolute most nebrasketball way to piss away a 3 - 0 start I could have come up with

Watson's foul trouble is a lot of what ails us on offense this half. Well, that and tosu packing the lane and making someone besides Webster score

Please now. They're killing us at the rim, and we aren't getting any turnovers this half

What do we think beilien was saying to miles in the handshake line? He was either talking shit or apologizing for the refs

we need to put fuller back in to choke slam that Wagner dude. Don't even care if he gets suspended

Which would be fine if all we were doing was taking jump shots, but most of our points have been going to the hoop. The refs aren't even close to calling this the same on both ends

Don't know what will happen, but we deserve to lose right now. Terrible d and bad ball handling

I'm not too worried about Tai, he seemed pretty limber dancing on the floor after the game was over. Needs some time in the ice tub tho, 49 minutes out of 50 is nuts...

My hope is that maybe if we kick enough of the "favored" teams in the balls this year the B10 stops giving us the rookie hazing treatment with the schedule. I have this image of the team getting getting together before the IU game...

what is it about tall lanky white guys for maryland going ape on us? We balled out today and overcame the latest gymrat coach on the floor to really hustle hard against us from Maryland, but this is a pattern. My 8 year old son had lost interest in the game, left the room to go play and then we started coming back. When he started to come back in when we cut it to 3 points I told him to stay out because he was bad luck. He came in anyway and we still won. #crisisaverted

Maybe they got a giant boner because they already had a Jok? It's the old chicken and egg problem.
