Hoiberg to Huskers

[TheHelgo]

I can’t wait to see who has the first tweet announcing it when it happens - Randy P or Hines. I also wonder which one of those 2 gets the most enjoyment reporting it.

Well, Hines does have 'near double digit sources', so.......

Just got caught up on the last 5 or 6 pages here. Funny stuff, most not meaning to be funny I am guessing, so...

Lots of back tracking from the typically super homer Husker media now. Should we start a thread on NU’s fallback candidates or maybe a Prohm to NU thread? TJ yo NU?

Really? Now what are they saying?

If Fred isn’t hired by Friday then it’s not going to happen.

So the Fred cultists should hold off on changing the logo on their Freddie Jobu idols?

Hard hitting stuff from Randy P here:

"A friend in Omaha who knows Nebraska basketball as well as anyone told me last week that all Hoiberg has to do to be a rousing success in the eyes of Big Red fans is win an NCAA Tournament game."

Fred did to neck ties what JFK did to the hat industry.

Like what Jordan did to the short short industry?

Seriously, do minor celebrities really complain about this stuff? Back when I was young enough to be out prowling around more I used to see local celeb's out all the time in bars and restaurants in downtown Minneapolis. Folks pretty much ignored them. I didn't pop over to sit down and chat with Rod Carew or ask Mayor Coleman if I could share a cigar with him. The only one I bugged once was Senator Boschwitz and he talked to me first to wish my gal a happy birthday after he picked that up from sitting at the next table. Hollywood stars here for filming and such have even commented how they could go out to eat without being bugged.

I've experienced the same with local celebrities when younger but I wonder if camera phones and social media posing have changed this.

Try saying that with a straight face lol

Lincoln would be a great city if not for the Husker fans.

The only thing more gross than Fred going to Nebraska, is that a small degenerate percentage of our fan base will still root for him.

They’re a lot easier to deal with now that they know they’re not winning football championships ever again.

I hated living in Ames. No idea how Lincoln is though.

Ames during college was awesome.

I lived there for a couple years after college - it’s not as great when you’re not in college (didn’t hate it though).

I enjoyed it when I was in the dorms the first year. Not so much after though.

Really enjoying WDSM and DSM currently.

The metro has become a great place for young professionals. Glad I’m here now

This is next level stuff. How has he not been pulled to a larger paper is beyond me.

It’s so weird that none of the DM Rag guys have been picked off to write for The Athletic.

I wish it would have been this way when I left in early 2000. I would have loved to have stayed in the area. At the time, the vast majority of ISU grads were leaving for places like Minneapolis or Kansas City - there just wasn't much to keep people in the Des Moines area. Too hard to even consider moving back now, with 2 kids in school and 2 established careers.
