One more time in The Vault. Think we will see any “Thanks Coach” shirts?

Sell out the Arena and buy $40 worth of food. Need those funds to pay for the next coaches salary and Miles severance.

After whats happened to this state this past week, maybe they'll go on a tear(tare?) and give us all some inspirational awesomeness and win the whole damn thing.

Its as if we have learned nothing from our football failures .

In the postseason firing coaches.

Kind of surprised Butler got in as #5, actually. Tied for last in the Big East and got spanked in the first round of the conference tournament. Did have non-conference wins over Florida and UC-Irvine, but otherwise not a great resume.

Chance of playing Creighton in Round 3.

Clearly, the NIT powers just wanted to see AD Barry Collier return to NU to face off against his old team. I know the selection committee loves human interest stories, but they really shouldn't upstage the main tourney like that. The buildup is going to be intense.

Barry Collier himself is actually the chair of the NIT selection committee. So he must have wanted to play against Nebraska.

Sure he was aware Nebraska only had 6 available scholarship players and an opportunity to beat them..

Interesting. In all seriousness, if Barry really did "steer" Butler to Lincoln for this game, NU should take it as a compliment.

The game will be well attended, the Butler players/fans will be treated well and the arena/accommodations are first rate. What's not to like?

I'm sure he's also keenly aware that only half of our team is active at the moment. Smokin
