    That golf coach is most likely the next AD at Nebraska

    True.  But living in Iowa, it's just another example of the obsession many here have with Nebraska.  They think we're obsessed with them.   Yeah, right.  The local sports shows here constantly talk about Nebraska, and well before the Hoiberg rumors.  When I go to Lincoln for games, I tell people in Nebraska what ass hats these guys are over here.  I tell these idiots here that Nebraska fans really don't care about them.  However, the more Nebraska fans are around them, the more they are starting to see how annoying they (Iowa/ISU fans) truly are.

    Unless I'm misinterpreting what PimpMario is trying to say, this isn't correct. Here's how it works. You donate money to get season tickets for football, basketball, etc. Whatever sport it is, you get priority points toward your general Athletic Department account. Each year, there is a Seat Yourself process where everyone is ranked based on their total Athletic Department priority points. This is the order that you get to look at open basketball seats and try to improve your tickets. Now, you do have to pay the basketball-specific donation that is tied to the season tickets that you choose (which varies from $0 for the majority of the arena, up to $1000 for the top club section), but in terms of the order that you get to choose your seats, football and basketball all go toward the same ranking system.
     
    In terms of trying to get better basketball seats, your best bet would to be give a large one-time donation. Priority points are worth three times extra in the year that they are given, so a large one-time donation would give you a temporary boost before that donation just rolls into the normal lifetime giving amount the next year. But, I would guess that this year, the season ticket turnover will be very low so this would be a futile effort. You may want to wait 1-2 years when season ticket turnover will be at a more normal level.

    So designs were supposed to be voted on in mid March... I’m assuming this whole coach search has put a pause on this or did I miss something?

    I wouldn't mind seeing the script huskers at mid-court. I like that look, maybe inside the state outline.
     

     
    This is the court I grew up with. (Man the three point arc and basketball at the free throw line were so cartoonish)

    This feels very similar to Stanley Morgan coming back for Scott’s first year to me. In the best interest of everyone

    Very true. I hope everyone enjoys and appreciates what Nebraska athletics is about to become. This doesn’t happen everyday

    I live in Bettendorf, Iowa, and was just at Home Depot. A nice couple stopped and asked me if it was a Huskers hat I was wearing. Of course it was. They were excited to share that they’re alumni and have season tickets for football and then we excitedly talked about the Hoiberg hire after days of repeatedly refreshing Twitter. 
     
    It’s nice to run into folks outside of Nebraska and talk hoops.

    No. It would be like Scott going to the NFL and failing and then going to Iowa state to be their football coach while we are stuck with a guy taking us to the Alamo and outback bowl every year after Scott had just missed taking us to the college football playoff because Adrian Martinez broke his foot in the B1G championship game.
     
    I understand their feelings a little. It would be sad to see you beloved player/coach go somewhere else and be stuck with a mediocre guy that isn’t half the coach your ex was.
