He would be an excellent choice, always willing to have a drink with the boosters.  Might even consider Carl Pelini...he has connecions.

Boosters are 59 years too old

Scott Frost!

All in all, hard to argue with the results from this weekend. If a couple more things broke right for Nebraska they finish in 2nd. 

 

125--Smith is probably disappointed he didn't wrestle to his seed but all in all, I thought he was fine this weekend. He got taken down early by McKee and after that, it was tough because McKee is a hammer on top for most guys. He caught Ramos on the backside which was unlucky and dropped another and then he got hammered by Barnett who did not have a great tourney. 125 is a complete crap shoot and Smith probably has some confidence going into NCAAs seeing Davis win Big Tens. 

 

133--I thought Van Dee had a nice tourney. He got the starch taken out of him by Nagao in the QF given up that early TD and then it was pretty much a wrap from there. Nice job battling back in the Consis although I didn't love the Teske match as he had that won in regulation and kinda brain farted there. 

 

141--Little bit of a disappointing result for Hardy who should've been in the Semis. Just a really bad blunder there against Lemley in the QF giving away the match. Nice job coming back although I hope to goodness he doesn't need to wrestle Woods to AA because Hardy just doesn't match up at all against him.

 

149--Awesome job by Ridge beating Gomez again who is so, so dangerous. Great job on defense there at the edge when I thought Gomez was going to get him. I'd really like to see Gomez on the other side of the brackets at NCAAs.

 

157--Nice job by Robb getting 3rd. There seems to be a clear ceiling for him now as Franek and Haines are a cut above. Robb can definitely still AA but man, 157 is a meat grinder of a weight class. I can't be too critical of Robb because he's such a warrior.

 

165--Nice job by Taylor, wrestled to seed. He beat the guys he's supposed to beat and he lost to the guys that are a bit better than him. The future is super bright with him especially at 157.

 

174--Game effort by Bubba as always. He's undersized at 174 and that was clearly evident wrestling the two beefcakes from Ohio State (how is that dude a freshman!!) and Rutgers. I hope Bubba did enough to earn a WC so we'll see.

 

184--Weird being disappointed with Pinto finishing 3rd. He kinda wrestled like a dummy against Truax and I hope his lower leg injury isn't too serious. If you give Pinto a gas tank you'd get a better version of Salazar from Minnesota and that guy can win a national title. As it stands, Pinto has AA upside but I can also easily see him going 2-2 or something like that.

 

197--I know 197 is a little down this year in the Big Ten but I thought Allred handled himself nicely. He ran into Brooks and Brooks did Brooks stuff but I loved seeing him really put it on Smith from Maryland in the 3rd/4th match. Allred looked great this weekend and I hope he can carry that momentum into NCAAs

 

HWT--Great job by Nash to qualify, tremendous story. Would be awesome if he could find a way to pick up a win or two which is possible if he gets the right draw.

Thanks for tournament breakdown!

If she played for Nebraska I'd have no issues recognizing the high-level of her game while also conceding that she's a douche

Nope, there are coaches that have there teams show more class, like South Carolina.  I would think Nebraska would be one of those teams.  

Don't forget Iowa's coach going ballistic after the loss to us.

I've looked a couple of times to try to find where I said I'd take the under on 20 wins.  I can't seem to find it so maybe (hopefully for my sake) I just made that up.

 

But I will admit I was definitely wrong about this team coming into the season.

Noone guessed us being 3rd!

She fits in well with this generation. Everyone may hate her but she is a hell of a baller. If she was playing for NU it would be ok lol.

Disagree.  As our coaches would not put up with it.  She is a great college player that takes the demeanor from Iowas coach.

Clark is a piece of work.  Every time she shoots she is asking & complaining about getting fouled!  Lol

That was a horrible play after a time out

These officials are horrible

Heck, I'm still seeing Nebraska as a bumble team in bracket predictions.

What's a bumble team?

Not good!

Probably aches at the very least, still not sure his face is fully recovered from the preseason. That said, most players are sore at his point in the season. So long as they continue playing together and avoiding the Hero ball, we could have a special postseason. 

Agree

Rutgers wines on every call

Not sure it's an effort thing for him as two of the three rebounds are on the offensive end. With Gary & Allick combining for 17, everything seems to be flowing as well as Hoiberg could hope on the rebounding end. 10 offensive boards as a team is pretty solid.

I wonder if knee is still an issue

Mast has 3 rb,  poor effort.

Ladies play horrible defense.  Without Markowski & Shelly, this team is bad.

Another come from behind win!!!!!

Crazy, top of the 9th I had to leave for meeting.  We had 2 hits & I'd never guess that we would have pulled this off!!!! GBR

Only getting worse. Amazing how the past five games, OSU has had total fouls of 25, 16, 20, 23, & 14. Tonight they have 9 with 2 minutes left in the game... frustrating.

Officiating is horrible, offense push offs & we get called for the foul 

Foul shots are getting ridiculous.

20 to 6

Quit settling for 3s. And please stop shooting Mast

Mast is just awful on the road.

Perhaps this is why....

 

 

 

Back to back games were Mast has looked like a$$!

This game will depend on how we play defense.
