NUance Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 We Have a Basketball Team? http://online.wsj.com/ THE COUNTAugust 20, 2013, 6:46 p.m. ET Fans of Nebraska sports will emerge from their annual nine-month hibernation on Aug. 31 to watch the Cornhuskers football team take on Wyoming. This is a joyous time in Lincoln, because there is seldom much to cheer about during the football off-season. Particularly in March. While Nebraska football has enjoyed consistent success and is ranked No. 18 this year, the Cornhuskers men's basketball program has always been thoroughly mediocre. It has never won a game in the NCAA tournament and last made an appearance in 1998. (The Huskers did win an NIT title in 1996. Woo-hoo!) This got us wondering: Which schools have the biggest discrepancy between football and men's basketball success? LINK The gist of the article is a discussion of teams with the greatest disparity between football and basketball. Funny that this article should appear when there's more excitement about Husker basketball than any time in the past couple decades. GBR! Quote Link to comment

Omaha-Husker Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Very surprised Michigan is right behind us on that list. Having most of your success vacated sure doesn't help. Quote Link to comment
