Hoiskers travel to Eugene to take on Altman’s Ducks as +6.5 dog

[Wasker77]

I am driving over the Cascades on Wednesday to watch the Huskers take on the Dawgs at Hec Ed ( It will never be in my mind Alaska Airlines Arena. I hate when they rename old gyms just for money)

Slow down a bit... we lost to USC and Rutgers @ home

Those were flukes

Yes they were but I don't think there's a fluke category. I believe there's an unofficial bad loss category

 

[Danimal4NU]

I'll ask again - what would NU stand to gain by extending Hoiberg past 2029?

Other than Zeke there is literally not a single person saying this. NO WAY he gets an extension after this year, makes zero sense.

I am saying it is way to early to tell. They make the dance a win one I disagree with the NO WAY part

Good point, slight chance if they win a game in the tournament I suppose. Zeke mentioned a contract extension if they make the tourney.

We win the Rutgers game and the USC game we are easily in as an 8 or a 9... Beating Illinois and Oregon canceled out those loses.

We were favored in the Rutgers/USC/Iowa games and Dogs in the Illinois/Oregon/UCLA games. The books had us at 4-7 we are 4-7. Losing 6 in a row sucks, but it is definitely not over or as bad as we thought.

What if they win 2 or 3 tournament games? Not worthy of pay increase ?

For the record I recently was in favor of dismissing Fred. The last two games changed that. Although I will say that six game losing streak, he is absolutely responsible for that and that can’t ever happen again.

And nothing says "this can't EVER happen again" like another $10 to $15 million dollars guaranteed!

Got to have faith and take the chance if you want reach the peak.

I don’t know if Hoiberg is the answer, at least for the long haul. Husker hoops are most likely going to be a year-to-year situation for the foreseeable future. At the very least, Hoiberg has made it better for the next coach if that is what happens. Don't let HDS (Hoiberg Derangement Syndrome) eat at you. Let it play out.

Last place Washington next. On the road, but feels like one we need to win.

Again - why is this a "chance" that NU must take? Where is Fred going? Who's hiring him away, based on the fact that NU "only" has him under contract for another four years?

Or do you really think the top 22-year-olds in the portal this offseason are demanding to know who NU's coach will be in 2030?
