And that cheesy fucking field of ours still sits as a monument to him.

It's interesting how Nebraska is viewed from "the outside."
Gregg Doyel, national columnist for CBSSports.com, offers his viewpoints on Nebraska basketball -- specifically its history of mediocrity and what Tom Osborne should do to try to turn the tide.
Check out Doyel's column.
Doyel's take on NU men's hoops struggles:
Don't give me the "football school" argument. Florida was a football school with a total of eight NCAA tournament appearances in 2001, when it built a $10 million basketball facility -- and five years later the Gators won a national title. One year after that, they won another.
Don't give me geography, either, because Nebraska borders Kansas and Iowa -- and the flagship universities in those states have done just fine in basketball. Creighton also has done just fine, and Creighton is in Omaha. This isn't about Nebraska, the location.
It's about Nebraska, the plan of attack.
Doyel suggests hiring a big-name coach who might cost a pretty penny:
For too long, Nebraska has shown no imagination, no gumption -- no money -- when it comes to hiring men's basketball coaches. And Nebraska has the NCAA tournament record to show for it. This time around, the school is being urged by Maryland coach Mark Turgeon to hire former Nebraska assistant Scott Spinelli, now on Turgeon's staff.
Which would be more of the same. Nobody unproven is going to come into Nebraska and convince great high school players to do what very few great high school players have done before, and play for the Cornhuskers. It will take a very good coach, maybe even a great coach, to break through decades of mediocrity. So how is Nebraska going to convince a great coach to do what very few (if any) great coaches have done before, and coach the Cornhuskers?
By throwing money at him.
That's not exactly a novel idea, but I get Doyel's point. So does Nebraska executive associate athletic director Marc Boehm. Here's what Boehm told me last week:
"I think you'll see us open up the checkbook," he said. "We want to be competitive. A lot of times, money is not going to lure (a coach), but it sure will help. And I think that's something we're going to take a real hard look at, because you do have to be competitive."
"We'll pay if it's the right coach," he added. "This is a pivotal hire right now. We need to make sure we find the right guy."
It was clear to me Boehm recognizes the magnitude of this hire.
