    Shuttlesworth got a reaction from Bugeaters1 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!

    Shuttlesworth reacted to Nebrasketballer in The Exorcist   
    I have multiple opinions on this topic.
    --When Miles made the comment "don't put that crap on me...that baggage doesn't exist" I don't think he meant that this history of thd program doesn't exist. I think that he meant that he will set his own precedent, rather than allow the one that has been set by other players/coaches dictate the way they go about things. I think he meant that he (and this team) have no control over what happened before they got here. All they can control is what they do, now that they are here.
    I believe it had something to do with a comment that someone made 2 months ago, before this team had learned how to play together. Someone called Miles out saying multiple things. One of them being "The time to win is now. We haven't been to the tournament in 15 years..."
    Miles responded with "Well, you haven't. I have. We know what we are doing and we know how to build this thing."
    He doesn't want to be the new boyfriend, that is punished by the girl, because her past boyfriends have all screwed her over. All he can control is his actions.
    --I also believe that his comments were very calculated. I believe that he is trying to keep his team from being so tightly wound when they play in their 1st NCAA tourney game. He knows how fans/media can be here. He knows that the BIGGEST story that will be focused on is "Nebraska hasn't made the tourney in 15 years, and Nebraska has never won a game".
    Nebraska fans/media have a tendency to beat these things to death, which gets into the heads of the players. I believe it's one of the reasons that Nebraska football was able to play so close with Texas so many time, but always found a way to choke the game away. Because there was so much tension built up in the time leading up to the game.. talking about how Nebraska can never beat them. So these players are asked these questions by all of the local media, and the players read about it in every article put out by the local media.
    I think Miles made those comments for the benefit of his players. Knowing that the big story is going to be that Nebraska hasn't made the tourney in 15 years and Nebraska has never won a game. I believe Miles doesn't want his players to be concerned with any of that, so he wants to do his best to stop that narritive in the media, before it has a chance to make this team play tight in the NCAA Tourney. Because for them to play to their potential, they need to be focused on the here and now...not the past history of the program.
    --While Miles doesn't want his players to worry about what this program hasn't done in the past...that doesn't change the fact that the fans have had to experience these things.
    I don't believe Miles was trying to discredit what the fans have had to endure in he past. He just doesn't want to be held responsible for something that he had no control over.
    These things did exist. The fans did have to endure these things. Nothing will ever change that. And I don't think Miles is trying to sweep that under the rug. I think he is just saying that he doesn't want Nebraska's past to be held against him, or this team.

    Kent
     
    My passion for Husker hoops was forged during many a cold, dark winter nights driving home after high school basketball practice way out in the Sandhills back in 1986.
     
    I would get in the old frozen 1973 Ford LTD and turn my AM radio on to a crackly KFAB and listen intently - shivering - to every call you and Sadlemeyer made during that great first year of the Danny Nee era, often sitting outside the house with my car running so I wouldn't miss a single play.  When there was a long enough break in the action, I would hustle up to my room to do homework and turn on my Kenwood hi-fi to listen to each and every second of the game even though the reception was half static, it didn't matter!
     
    It is because of you, Kent (and Gary Sadlemeyer), that I am a life long fan of the Huskers.  It cannot be stated enough here or anywhere else, that you too are the best!

    Kent is one of the last of a generation of extremely talented radio broadcasters who can make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up from "the call" of the game. I consider Kent and Bob Davis to be the best two college radio play by play guys in the country - and I am a full-time radio guy who also listens to between 75-100 D-1 basketball PBP guys per year, so I think I'm qualified to say that.
     
    It's been several years since we spoke Kent but I am so thankful you are doing well, that you stopped by and that you continue to be one of the premiere PBP guys in the country for OUR program.
     
    I hope we have you 15 more years and I hope even more that you will be announcing our first (of many) NCAA Tournament wins in about 11-12 days.

    There's no one who's paid more dues to the program than you, Kent. Savior every minute of what we're going through. We love ya, man.

    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.

    Probably not.
    BTW, this board is littered with threads wondering about the demise of a player....a lot of them about Benny Parker.

    No doubt the best Husker fans on the planet post here. You guys were optimistic even when things didn't look great. Take a deep breath and soak it in. We're dancing, and in no small part to you guys. Take a bow!
