Missouri Governor bashes husker basket ball

[kansas husker]

He called those schools the league's "two weakest basketball programs" while noting that the remaining Big 12 schools could have a better shot of making the NCAA basketball tournament. Nixon said poor win-loss records and weaker schedules by Nebraska and Colorado were dragging down the rankings of other Big 12 schools

Not saying it isn't true but it still grinds my gears.

Somebody doesn't want to remember the first game of the Big 12 tournament...

hey, mr. governor. could you please remind me what it was that you and your mizzou friends were saying just a month ago? i believe it was something like, "bitch, bitch, bitch, moan, moan, moan, shed a few tears, then proudly claim WE'RE MOVING ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS" and now that you are stuck in the conference (because no one wants you, and you were stupid to think anyone would) you have to pick on lowly nebraska basketball. nice job, governor.... nice job.

jadler - exactly!

This is so unbelievably typical of a Missouri fan. If it were 2007 they would be talking about how terrible our football program was. They're really good at talking up their teams when they're good and throwing others under the bus, but once their team inevitably sucks again they shut up. Yawn.

Couldn't have said it better myself

you maybe pissed about it, and maybe he shouldnt have said it. But what he is saying is pretty true. In NCAA basketball a loss to a top 50 RPI can actually be better than a victory over a 150 or lower team. Lets not get it too twisted. Nebraska and CU basketball have been two of the weakest teams for a while. Nebraska has never finished in the top 6 of the league. and selecting a series record over a small period, most of which contains some of the worst MU teams in recent memory doesnt show anything. 20-12 over the big 12 history, and that includes all of our crap years and probation. If i cherry picked out our worst seasons that included probabtion years the record is 17-5. It's fun to cherry pick

 

Nebraska basketball is very weak and the RPI of the teams in conference and the confernce as a whole will go up without NE basketball. that is just fact. The Govn. is not hte only person to say or write this. The same has been said on SI, ESPN, Foxsports, message boards for 9 other teams, pay sites, city newspapers, campus newspapers, ...ect. You guys are getting upset, but when 20 different people saying something bad about you, maybe you would get the idea that if 20 people say it....there might be a small chance...that it could be true....

much of the talk on here is so unbelievable typical of a Nebraska fan. They only care about there teams if they win. Not about the name on the jersey. All of a sudden everyone is a WBB fan and Volleyball is the states second leading sport. Kind of like how everyone was a husker baseball fan 5 years ago. They really good at talking up their teams when they're good and throwing others under the bus, but once their team inevitably sucks again they shut up and no longer are fans.yawn

 

Weird how that just fits right in there like that.....huh...

Thats okay let em talk, with us gone mizzou and isu become the nu and cu of the confrenece. Also, its rather funny how the other teams know that the confrence became weaker with us leaving, and all of a sudden the leftovers act like basketball is the revenue dog of the sports in their schools. Good job Big 12, you still have basketball!

Except for the fact that in the rare event we have a team other than football that is good at a sport, eg. baseball or volleyball, our higher-ups don't take shots at other Universities because we're mad we got passed up by the Big 10. Nebraska bball obviously wasn't and issue for Delaney, or else we wouldn't have been offered by the Big 10. I'll take the Big 10 commish's opinions over the governor of Missouri. Delaney probably knows a thing or two more about managing collegiate athletics.
