It's been hating on me all year
so I’ll rely on the smooth sexy voice of Greg Sharpe to carry me through again.
The Only Reason I'm Watching This...
"Ah, yes - the young ape with a shovel. I hear you're planning another archeological expedition. Cornelius, a friendly word of warning - as you dig for artifacts, be sure you don't bury your reputation."
Don't look now....
But I think we look good enough to win this. Just saying…oh shit it’s 12-7 them. Nevermind.
Is it just me, or does Kevin Kugler sound like he’s swallowing his throat? I love him, but damn..
It's Van Halen, not Van Hagar.
It's his alma mater...
…and this is downright painful to watch….
Or sad.
Anyway, he’s trying to call this straight for a national audience. He can tell us next week what he really thinks…

OK, The Big Question
Does Doc keep his job? Or is the damage already done?
"Ah, yes - the young ape with a shovel. I hear you're planning another archeological expedition. Cornelius, a friendly word of warning - as you dig for artifacts, be sure you don't bury your reputation."
i think it's already done
unless they maybe go crazy during the B1G tournament
but, I’m not Tom Osborne either.

They got 4 more games left
2 are probable losses
2 are winnable
After the regular season I guess we will see
Let's not make too much of one game...
Remember that Billy C took Kansas State just before he was fired.
If the Huskers play like this the rest of the season, though, then it’s likely Sadler would return…

Congrats
You guys just got a well earned coach’s scalp. Hopefully your program can elevate so this kind of blowout becomes seen as a mark of your team’s quality rather than the need to fire the other coach. The fact that just about every Big Ten basketball game is on TV makes it a really great sport to get invested in.

We're working on investing.
Unfortunately, it’s kind of like inheriting your great-uncle’s mansion only to discover there was a natural gas explosion, nuclear waste accident and a zoo escape on the property.
