Agreed.

If that's the case I'll be happy as a clam. I just hope you're right.

I agree with you completely. And yes, offering a lot of money is no guarantee that we will get the guy we want, but not being will to do it basically guarantees that we won't get them. I'm just hoping they aren't going into this fight with one arm tied behind their back. I feel like the last 3 hires have done that and until they show me differently I'm going to be skeptical of our administrations dedication to b-ball.

I agree. The point I was trying to make is that for all those people saying that 'we can't go out and pay more than a blue blood pays their established coach', the only thing that could even get us close to the same playing field as them is by offering more money. Facilities and fan support are already there. We can't manufacture success and prestige. So the only thing we have left to do is open up the checkbook and put our money where are mouth is. If we want to be serious about winning we're going to have to show it.

Not saying we will do it but I could see how a program like ours with less tradition and prestige would have to pay a big coach more than a blue blood in order to attract them to come here. If the pay were the same and they had a choice between Nebraska and Kansas, they're going to choose Kansas 10 times out of 10. Our only option to attract a big name coach here in b-ball is to throw more money at them than anyone else and hope that's what they're looking for.

In other words, if we're just going to go out and do the same thing we've done the last 3 hires, you might as well keep Miles and see what happens with the new guys coming in. If they're going to finally try and make a big move then we're all okay with them letting Miles go. My biggest question is do we really trust the AD and this administration to actually go out and do that? I'm not totally sure I do. Moos did great with the Frost hire but it's not really like he had to do a lot of digging or thinking to know that's the direction the fan base and administration wanted him to go. I guess time will tell as I think making a move is already a forgone conclusion. But if we're still going to be where we're at now or worse in another 7 years because they don't care enough or have the stones to make a big move then I'd rather keep Miles here and see if he can make it work.

Oh, it wasn't actually written into the B1G rules this year that everyone is allowed to play post defense without fouling except for Nebraska? Could have fooled me...

Being one of the younger fans out here, I wasn't and am not aware of this incident with Sip back in the early 2000's. Do you mind expounding about that?

Awesome. Thanks. It's always been my favorite logo by far. Wish they would start using it again so i could get apparel with this logo on it.

These...holy crap would these look sweet on the court again.

I'm more wondering what era they're throwing back to or if they're doing that at all. Would love to see them come out in the red version of those early 90's throwbacks that they wore for several games last year and the year before.

Huskers.com says that tomorrow's game is Legends Weekend. That usually means that the team will be wearing some kind of throwback unis but i haven't seen anything put out about that yet. Anybody have any idea if/what they're doing for this?

Thanks HB. I'll check it out.

I'd be really interested to know what actually went down with this. Or maybe it's been put out there in other posts and i'm just out of the loop. At the time the news came out it was nothing but bashing of Miles/Nebraska by ever media source out of Omaha about how could they do this to this kid. There were some that said it was probably for the best but it just looked bad. And then his coach went out to every radio show/newspaper who would talk to him and just undressed Nebraska for what they did. I just thought it was kind of over the top reaction for what it was and am seriously concerned that that perception being put out there will hurt our chances with in-state recruits going forward. So if there is another side to that story i'd really like to know what it is.

I'm kind of shocked by some of the negative responses to this article. I know not everyone will agree but looking at this as a hatchet job on the basketball program is something i couldn't disagree with more. If anything I saw this as something that the basketball program needed to have said by someone other than themselves. Most all of us on here are on board with the direction the program is going and believe Miles needs more time. The only reasons we even have to question this is because SE didn't extend his contract last year and at this point none of us know what he is thinking. There's been way to much smoke coming out of this situation for there not to be some potential of a fire. He could have put the kibosh already if he really wanted to but he obviously hasn't. It just reminds me way to much of the same situation with Bo and we all saw that that ended in a firing. I will agree that sometime the OWH is overly critical at times of the NU Athletic Department (especially in comparison to the way it covers the CU athletic department). But i don't think that anyone who looks at the NU Athletic Department objectively could say that some of the faults that were called out in this article don't have any basis in truth. They definitely are not perfect.

I'm sure you are correct on this. I guess i was more speaking in generalities about how the OWH seems to have a drastic slant toward the team in blue. At least in my opinion.

This. All day long. You know it's starting to get bad when even the Jays homers at the OWH are publicly commenting on the officiating and how badly Nebraska is getting screwed. LJS and Robin Washut with HOL seem a bit more apt to call this out but when an OWH writer says something about it...it's bad. Although I'm pretty sure that a player would need to get maimed or killed without a ref calling a foul for Lee Barfknecht to acknowledge that NU might be getting screwed.

I know this will probably sound weird given some of the obvious things mentioned above that they messed up, but given how most of the games this season seemed to be called i think this was close to the best officiated game we've gotten all year. Obviously the bar is not set very high and it may be some recency bias due to the debacle that the Wisconsin game was but overall there wasn't a TON to complain about tonight.
