[Husker] No Basketball Comment

[jon johnston]

Uh, no.

The Cubs have a massive amount of fans, who'll wait until something  
great finally happens so they can say they were fans all along.

Nebraska basketball does not have such loyalty.

And if what happened in basketball to Robert Sallie happened in  
football to a prize recruit, there would be riots in the state.  
Happens in basketball, and we just bitch about the team not being  
worthy of our attention.
