You can't coach a Midwest team within a relatively short drive from Ames and not compete for recruits against us. So that alone is enough to make it wrong for me.
But some of you don't probably realize or remember how gleeful and eager, downright giddy, almost all of the self-proclaimed greatest fans in the world (NU fans) were when the Big 12 was going to collapse leaving Iowa State to look to the Mountain West or the MAC for a new permanent home. I mean all the sports talk guys here in Nebraska were just having a daily laugh about the Big 12 is going to dissolve, and schools like Iowa State and K State will never be heard from again. Fans called in constantly to radio shows just so excited for this, I guess it made them feel all the more superior for having the courage to jump to the B1G.
So anyone associated with Iowa State, e.g., Hoiberg, becoming a Husker, is simply unforgiveable. And you can't tell me he was never aware of the Husker joy over the imminent demise of Iowa State. He became coach in April, 2010 and Nebraska applied to the Big 10 in June. So he was right in the middle of it. So, no, I can't just wish him well on this one.
