    Huskerone got a reaction from HuskerFever in It Was Thirty Years Ago Today   
    Ah, the year I became a Nebrasketball fan.  My stepdad told me early that season he thought the basketball team might be pretty good this year.  First time I ever thought of following any team other than Husker football.  "You mean the Huskers play other sports than football?"  Then going to my first game, I remember walking into Devaney and seeing the court come into view as I walked through my section entrance, and seeing the crowd all around, hearing the band, the electricity in that building was real, it was packed, and I was hooked for life.  It was also my first frozen malt with the wooden spoon, still love those things.  After that Xavier game I thought we'd just be back every year, no big deal.  No idea 30 years later we'd still not have a tourney win.  I was naive, but also 10 years old.  The years since have brought probably more rough times than good, but they have made the good times even better.  👍

    Hoiberg hasn’t even been here 2 years yet.
     
    There is an elite recruiting class coming in (and he isn’t done).
     
    I don’t think <2 years and only 1 offseason is a lot of time.  
     
    Give him a sec.

    By no means am I a Creighton Blue Jay fan, and the suspension timing, and resignation offer can certainly be debated.  With that said, this cancel culture thing has gone off the rails.  He made a mistake, and has apologized.  Why not use it as a learning opportunity to grow and become better.  If done right, both he and his players can grow from this.  Isn't that what college is all about?  Maybe instead of offering to resign, have one on one meetings with his black players and ask them how the comment effected them, let them know what he's learned from it, and committing to continue to support them in their lives going forward.  Sounds like a better outcome to me than, "wrong" speak, you're fired!  My two cents for what they are worth anyway.

    Huskerone got a reaction from Silverbacked1 in Nebraska (7-17)(3-14) vs. Iowa (18-7)(12-6) Game Thread A day ahead of time ;-)   
    Banton playing very "awkward" tonight.  Need to value the basketball.  Some clumsy AF turn overs in the first half.  With that said, Iowa is good.  Hard to defend the 3 out by the center court logo.

    Rightfully so. I hate how some of our guys absolutely don’t value the basketball. Banton hs at least 3 turnovers himself this half

    So, full disclosure, I haven't watched many Nebrasketball games this year from tip to final buzzer, usually turn it off at some point in the second half (its been some rough basketball this year, I ask for grace).  With that said, I watched all of this game and was floored at the passing, 19 assists!  We share the ball like that going forward and wow.  I'm hoping something "clicked" not only for this team, but program going forward.  Better late than never.  Fingers crossed.

    I actually thought we moved the ball pretty good to start the game.  Then it kind of went away.  Fatigue factored in I'm sure.  Like with football, not a year I'm getting too upset, with the pandemic I'm just happy all are healthy again.  I'm able to watch some live Husker sports which is a good reprieve from our real world problems right now.  Hope the GA mentioned above gets better soon, such a scary virus.

    Still behind Hoiberg to turn this around.  He had to start from scratch, at a program that hasn't had any sustained success since the 90's.  We have some pieces, they just aren't fitting together.  Hoiberg sees it too, he knows.  Trust the process.  Looking micro I can get pretty upset.  Choosing to look macro right now.  It wasn't that long ago I was at PBA cheering when we were picked for the dance.  It will happen again.

    I thought it was good for the team to play a game early in the season with foul trouble.  I think when it happens again this season they will be more comfortable with the rotation and rolls.  Hoping the team learned a lot and got better, the most you can ask for these early season games.

    An as expected season, nothing to get too upset about.  I'm hoping Hoiberg can build a program, not just a team for a season or two.  Relying on JUCO recruits, if that is what is going to happen, meh.  Hoiberg knows best.  It is what it is. 
     
    Has any of the big three Husker men's sports exceeded anyone's expectations for the last 10-20 years?  Maybe the month, basically, of good basketball we got from Tim Miles in 2014 to get us into the NCAA tourney?  I'm just more disappointed in the athletic department as a whole.  How did this once proud athletic department get to this point?  This is just another year in the current dark ages of Husker athletics.  Hopefully we get to see the light again someday. 
     
    Maybe its defeated resignation, but my health would suffer if I didn't "chill out" for just about every Husker sports season.
