GT: Iowa at Nebraska - 1PM - BTN2Go


Recommended Posts

Was at the game today. Iowa fans confirmed massive douches. But then, we already knew that.

Any stories you'd like to share? I got a text saying that an iowa fan was complaining after he was hit with a snowball

Most I interacted with were arrogantly condescending and boisterous for the first 32 minutes and strangely mute for most of the remainder.

Yup. We were squarely in a hawkeye section. Guys jumping up, fist-pumping about going up by 19 on the #145 Kenpom team in the nation, and making smug comments about how many Hawkeye fans were in Devaney (not that many. Maybe 15% Hawkeyes).

 

The 2nd half largely shut them up, except, of course, for them blaming the comeback on the officials.

 

As far as the snowball throwing - I saw a bunch of Nebraska students and early 20s guys walking around the concourse, shoving Iowa fans and yelling "NIT NIT NIT" ...so we were equally guilty of being douchey. God I hate frat kids.

I think this is an impressive win for Nebraska myself. Iowa is rebuilding as well BUT their program is in their 3rd year while ours is in the first & with a short roster. I really like what the staff is doing and how the players are playing overall. Players are playing to their strengths. I commend the players for their effort. I thought they had given up in that first half, but I was wrong. Hat's off to them.

 

I can't wait to add in next years players and play in the new arena. I am thinking Hawkins will be kind of like Talley in that he can give you a big ball handler that can shoot. Biggs will be a really nice addition as he can break you down. He gives us a little more size than Benny. I think Benny can redshirt and put on some muscle. Webster is another guy who can handle the ball and has very good size. He can also play the 2 with Gallegos as he is a high% bomber. Petteway is going to be a really fun player and I think could be used in any wing spot. I think he and Shields are very similar in their game. Petteway is probably more athletic but Shields is probably a little better shooter. Fuller is a great shooter. Pitchford is going to be a bit different than Ubel & Andre in that he is more of a face up athlete. He will bring something new to Nebraska that we haven't had since Mikki Moore. If we can fill the last 1 or 2 spots with size to defend & rebound, this team will make a huge leap forward. I think Serge should redshirt.
