[Husker] Hoops

[jonlists]

This is exactly why I don't bother posting about Husker hoops - nearly 
every post about basketball turns into bitching about Barry Collier. 

There is no mention that freshman McCray has been Big 12 player of the 
week twice. There's no mention of the fact that he's been starting two 
freshmen to get the team ready for Big 12 play. Bitch about the wins being 
against bad teams, but not the fact that the losses were to pretty good 
teams - although losing to Minnesota at home sure sucked. 

Danny Nee? Give me a break, guys. The guy did turn it around, but he lost 
it in the end and left the cupboard bare. Gee, these are the same posts as 
last year. Bitch about the coach, but absolutely no content whatsoever 
about the team itself. I'd like to request that if you're going to post 
about the basketball program, maybe you should bother to watch a game or 
two, and comment on the team. Otherwise, it's back to the same nauseating 
whining - and I'd question (once again) whether or not any of you 
complaining bother to watch any college hoops? 

Before Steve Pederson fires another coach in any sport at Nebraska, maybe 
we should see how Callahan does.
