If I had a quarter for every Nebraska basketball game that Jed's ever seen I could buy 2 tootsie rolls and put a down payment on a condom

Collier and Sadler did not beat top 10 teams on the road.

They did not even beat top 25 teams on the road.

Winning on the road in College Basketball is 100 times harder than College Football. History shows that.
-------
While I won't attempt to put words into Jed's mouth, it's just one game against a top 10 team. We aren't ranked, we won't be playing for a conference championship, and to put this coach on a pedestal at his point in his career (at Nebraska) is a bit over the top.

I don't want to see Nebraska as a one sport behemoth. We have a great v-ball team, and our women's basketball team isn't too shabby. I'd like to see our baseball team back to doing well. BUT we are nowhere near being "great' in men's basketball--yet.

Apparently we have someone else who doesn't understand what the word "IF" means.

If miles makes nebrasketball a premiere program, maybe wins a Championship/Final 4 appearances etc.

Devany/Osborne/Cook/Miles

Does miles surpass one of them? Our basketball program was awful, would this be a greater accomplishment than what devany and osborne built assuming miles can do it?

Read and comprehend the OP before you rattle your booger pickers on your keyboard and make yourself look like a dumbass.

Apparently there is a set amount of time that must pass before we can actually entertain the idea of giving a coach any praise, RA.

I did not know about this rule and so I apologize to everyone for me stating that Nebraska had a great win. Let's just talk about the greatest win in the history of Nebraska Basketball in like 2020 or something. That way some time will have passed.

Thanks RA for all the love and support :suds:

Apparently Miles HAS TO HAVE ALREADY ACHIEVED THIS TO TALK ABOUT IT, and we can't talk hypothetically for some folks here.

We are talking hypothetically about being in the NCAA turny. Talking about winning a billion dallors. Nebraska taking us all the way and winning everything. Come on man let us enjoy the win.

It really pretty simple if one can read and comprehend the crux of the OP.

IF Miles eventually leads Nebraska to consecutive Final 4's and/or a National Championship, will he be thought of in the same words as Devaney, Pettit, Van Horn, et al?

The OP did not ask if he is now in that league. :L

BTW - Nee got to the Round of 64 a few times, but never won an NCAA Tournament game.

Remember last week when HP went off on a rant about how Miles sucks when we were trailing by double digits to Illinois and then said he was just joking when we came storming back to take the game over?

I can't really accurately rank Devaney because plain and simply I wasn't around to actually see him do what he did and really see what the competition was like back then.

I appreciate all that he did in getting Nebraska to where they were when Tom Osborne took over though.

I just look at what Nebraska was in the 90's and literally I've never seen another coach in any sport get a team to that level. We were like a fuggin machine.

Dan Gable called and told Tom Osborne to shine his 20 National Championship trophies.... Will you make sure Tom gets the message??? LOL
