  1. Let's fire Bo, lose a majority of a pretty good "base" of recruiting class, a few transfers, and bring in someone who it will take 4-5 years to "get his guys".... only to win 9 games (if lucky, cause no one else has won as much as Bo) and be criticized every week/year..... I bet the great coaches will be knocking down our door. Not a coach worth his salt would be interested...unless you are still living in the 80's-90's

      I agree with your OP, Hanc. People don't realize that we'd be throwing 2 or 3 years down the toilet to change coaches. Plus a $7 million buyout. But whatever..

      The short answer is, we get rid of Bo because what he brings us is not worth keeping. 9 hollow wins with no championships, no wins over ranked opponents, and a handful of embarrassing losses. Not worth keeping.

  2. Ok, I have been gone all day....just got home and pulled up espy bracketology...sorry if it was discussed earlier. Is Lunardi an idiot or am I missing something. Iowa is a 10 seed and we are in a play-in game as an 11th seed? Don't we have a better conference and overall record, the last month winning % is embarrassingly not even close. WTF ?

      Losing 6 of 8 in the last 3 weeks is part of that. Iowa should be on the bubble right with Neb if we are grading out the whole season.

      No way should Iowa be seeded higher than Nebraska. I'm not sure they should be in the tournament at all.

       

  3. Not sure how you can project Minnesota over Nebraska....We have a better overall record and a 3 game better conf record. I know they have higher rip, but doesn't conference play mean anything.

      HANC I actually agree with you about Iowa. Their resume is not that strong, although Nebraska has worse losses than them. Iowa should get like a 7 seed at absolute best.

  4. Attended the Team Jack gala last night. One, Rex is one of the best humans on this earth, and two, for anyone who doesn't like Bo... you may want to check into what he is doing away from the field. This man is a caring man, whom has a huge heart.

  5. We all have our different musical tastes....but I really enjoy the remake of Stand by Me by Ki:Theory. It was on the tv show The Following. Just put it on my playlist for my running workout. Some may like it.

  6. Tom Shatel...."Creighton should put a Doug Mc statue up NOW...not wait. goes onto explain why and then shows statues of Oscar Robertson, Shaq, Larry Bird, and Magic....Ummm, 3 of those 4 "statues" were unveiled in 2011-2013....years after the player had a HOF NBA career... not after JUST a great ncaa career. Tom is off his f'n rocker again

      I don't know about Doug, but I'd hate it if my college made a statue of me shortly after I left. I'd be kind of embarrassed. If it were going to happened, I'd prefer it be after my professional career were over.

    3. HANC

      HANC

      I think that you are probably correct Enhance....just based on my perception of his interviews, both he and his dad would be against this. They are both very humble about Doug's accomplishments... I just think the whole idea of Tom saying it should be "now" is absurd...maybe in the future.

      yeah, it is always better to wait when immortalizing humans.

  7. Wow ! Just keep playing guys.... who knows ? Miles should be in contention for Big 10 Coach of the Year if we can finish 6th or above.

  8. With so many so-called "favorites" missing medal stand, can you label the Olympics so far as a "choke job", or is it just too competitive in these events to be labeled. A few nice surprises, but more disappointments by far at this point.

      We've also had some historic medals and shots at getting medals. Things like short track speed skating are notoriously unpredictable (if you've ever watch, you'll instantly see why). White was contending, along with everyone else, with bad halfpipe conditions during the final and just didn't get it done. Miller has always been hit and miss with his runs because he pushes so hard - high risk, high reward.

    3. EbylHusker

      EbylHusker

      But we had a first ever medal attempt in women's cross country sprint, the bronze in women's single luge, etc. Bronze in the team figure skating, golds in both slopestyles (without White even), etc. I think there have been plenty of huge positives so far. It's just the nature of some of these sports.

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      I'm with Ebyl here. I don't think you can classify not making the podium in downhill, short Track SS, half pipe, etc. as choke jobs. These types of events take a fair amount of luck and event conditions to end up top 3 in the world on any given day.

  9. Anyone else going to the 1st Annual Team Jack Gala on March 8 ?

  10. Kind of enjoying Winter Olympics...some crazy events with people a heck of a lot more athletic and gutsy than most of us. I still personally enjoy Summer Olympics more.

      I think the impromptu mid-week weekend should become a regular thing. You know. More promptu.

  12. Listened to 26 minutes of Bo's presser on 1620.....Played "at the end of the day" drinking game. Thanks to Bo, after 8 phrases, my BAC may be close to .24 ..... glad they cut presser short, or he would have killed my liver.

      I appreciate it, but reality says that the kids are pretty stinkin good, and I am just smart enough to not screw them up...but thank you

  15. At this point, little or no surprises. Pretty solid class. Was hoping for a big signing day BOOM, but I am satisfied with the effforts and kids who signed. Good luck guys, and Welcome aboard.

  16. I should have been a weather man. Another day off school, based on the forecast of 6-8 inches starting at 8am.... we haven't had even "flurries" yet. Hope it doesn't snow, but a wasted day off of school that will suck in May.

      As a gradimatated meteorologist I say that I wouldn't wish being a weather man on anyone. It's fun but the hell I went through in school and the negative stigma combined relentless harassment weren't career worthy for me in the end. It's way more fun as a hobby.

    2. HANC

      HANC

      The only part that I think would be fun is the "storms". I would like to be a storm spotter. You shouldn't had to go through that crap in school though. I am just saying that the local "weatherman" cost me a day of school... tongue in cheeck.

    3. icedavis

      icedavis

      Gotcha. You should definitely become a storm spotter though. Can never have enough trained spotters. All storms (snow included) can be a lot of fun "chasing". Chasing snow is a bit more for the associated chaos and winter sports.

  17. I should have been a weather man. Another day off school, based on the forecast of 6-8 inches starting at 8am.... we haven't had even "flurries" yet. Hope it doesn't snow, but a wasted day off of school that will suck in May.

  18. With only 2 days left..... Are we expecting any more "BOOMS" ? Will there be any Signing Day surprises?

      Kansas fans are worse. Pulling for Creighton.

  21. NFL's top offense vs NFL's top defense.......hope for good weather... because this would be a shame if freezing, snowing, etc... to disrupt offense. Want these two to play inside with only TALENT to determine outcome.

      I hope it's a full blown blizzard. Borderline postponement type of weather. I really do. Then the NFL can learn their lesson about putting their title game outdoors, in New York, in frickin February. Want the Super Bowl New York? Build a frickin dome.

  22. As a Husker fanatic and alumn....combined with a Hoya BB fan...it pains me to say this...and I hate Creighton....McDermott could play for anyone in any league. May be player of year... I have said this all year.

    1. HuskerNationNick

      HuskerNationNick

      I thought he should have had player of the year last year, still disappointed he wasn't.

  23. I am 0-3 on teams that I wanted to win this weekend, but 3-0 on teams I thought would win. Now, I want and think the Broncos....one of my streaks will be broken.

    1. Mavric

      Looking like the former. :thumbs:

  24. Have I missed much.... I really thought that we would be hearing a few names surface about DB coach by now... I know that Sanders is being tossed around by media, but just speculation?

  25. Can someone explain to me what Bo is actually doing or tweeting. I am old and don't have twitter.... I am lost...sorry

    1. EbylHusker

      EbylHusker

      Google Fake Bo Pelini Twitter or something like that. It's a parody account that has gained a lot of attention and followers. The real Bo Pelini just tweeted at Fake Bo Pelini.
