Greetings All:

Actually some of us do care about Husker basketball, I was there tonight 
just like I have been for most of the games this season. This was a 
disappointing loss on Senior Night and in talking to the four seniors after 
the game you could see they were disappointed with the outcome as well.

This has been a tough year but a better year than anyone predicted to start 
with, most media types thought NU would finish tenth in the conference but 
it looks now like we will finish sixth (not eighth as someone else stated 
earlier tonight). A win Sunday at Missouri would guarantee sixth place and a 
date with Baylor in the first round of the tournament next week in Dallas 
(Thursday at 8:20 PM CT). Nebraska handled Baylor pretty easily here in 
Lincoln and could do so in Dallas as well.

I'll admit this isn't the most popular opinion in the state of Nebraska 
right now but I want Coach Collier around for another year at least. This 
guy is running this program the right way with kids graduating and some even 
being considered for post graduate scholarships and in the case of Jason 
Dourisseau being considered for Academic All American.

The four seniors on this team (all from Nebraska) should be a source of 
pride for all Nebraskans as they are graduating on time and have all grown 
personally and athletically since arriving and have represented the program 
with class and dignity and never a hint of trouble. I'll take this type of 
operation any day over a program where there are questions and people not 
graduating (leaving early) and coaches not operating on the level.

Nebraska takes on Missouri in Columbia on Sunday, tip off is at 1:05 PM and 
it will be televised via ESPN + (Cox 2 in Omaha and KLKN Channel 8 in 
Lincoln, among other stations and cable systems around the nation as well).
