At minimum we’d win almost any tip off!

Boo that man!!! Boo!!!

This year 7 would be solid. 6 is the expectation and 8+ is the goal. I suppose we should differentiate this as 6 or 7 plus a bowl victory vs 8 and a bowl loss. Still hopeful it all comes together! Surprised Greg Johnson wasn’t called out more. Him having an All American year could be the...

We need to start winning consistently and then we’ll be able to schedule better schools. Simple as that. Nobody wants to schedule a team like us due to the current set up. We can only hurt these teams so it’s not worth it, similar to a mid major in some ways. Hopefully Niko can get us there.

Winning will get the bandwagon fans (and teams more willing to schedule you). You guys are overthinking things. (I get it’s a message board)

Everybody enjoys a visit to the BBC!

Yes. But I would expect Fleck’s ideology of paying Freshman a set # may come into play on that. Would seem like an easier number to beat if you’re a Nebraska and like a particular player.

Yeah heard that was likely after removing his commitment post and going remote silent. Boo. Moe Money!

I for one hope Fickell is still around by the time we play them (don’t want that standard motivational team boost after their coach gets fired). Maybe he gets fired after we beat them by 40 to seal our spot in the playoff ;-)

I like your optimism and also feel good about competing this season. On the other hand, Liam was a legit presence at Drake when we got him to transfer. In this NIL day, no way we would have had a chance to get him. So if Kordel approaches anything resembling Liam I would be surprised/shocked. If...

Beyond a doubt in my mind any of these players could have competently (if not key cog in Willis/Vaihola) contributed outside of Turner. Those 4 in particular could dominate at a lower level and potentially cash in next season again (I forget what year they’re in but maybe even continue abroad if...

I appreciate the articles about us, but I still can’t take any of them seriously if they don’t mention that it was ravaged by injuries. Hard not to rely on your starters when the original starters are done for the season and half the bench is gone too…

The interesting part of this would be the issue we have complained about for years… this would remove (for the most part beyond seeding implications) the issue of inherent poll bias that occurs BEFORE the season. I’m actually for it. I know it’s not football, but the NCAA tournament has never...

Well add Price to the list now, although him and then Moe (Nebraska visit now might end up there still) might not hold…

Nebraska knew better to avoid the Minnesota powerhouse! Especially if the SEC is boycotted by the NAACP and our glory days are realized again…
