Now they didn't mean it. As bad as the first Boulder-esque promo looked, reversing course looks worse. It means either you're too scared to back up the "Beat Texas" mantra three months from tomorrow, or you have a bunch of rookie fuckwads (Thanks, Roger Dorn) running the marketing operations in Lincoln. Not that this should surprise us, given the fact that the Husker logo is 20 years out of date and still being used and that Lil' Red is their go-to mascot and crowd entertainer at athletic events. We'll leave out the part about NU having the worst apparel in the nation for a major athletic department. Just sad.
And another one from the Department of Redundancy Department.
And of course Dan Alexander was hurt when they fired the Rat. The Rat gave him playing time he didn't deserve over Correll Buckhalter (still in the NFL) and Dahrran Diedrick. Kept playing him when he couldn't get the tough yards, kept playing him when he was too un-nimble to turn the corner over the span of a 30-yard run, kept playing him when he tried to fumble games away (at Boulder). When you have a coach who is too overwhelmed with choosing whether to call option left or right to bench you, of course you love him.
Good luck to Ryan Anderson and Sek Henry as they try to make it in the Euro leagues. PYB has some advice for each: Ryan, shooting better than 1/5 from three will help your chances of making a team. Sek, if you can improve on your 2-for-10 shooting and four turnovers, your chances will also increase...
Finally, can't they just make Darin Erstad head coach? Could it be any worse? Can it get any worse than consecutive last-place Big 12 finishes?
