What if it backfires and Fred starts to regularly beat us, in Hilton?
I've never hated Nebraska like I hate Iowa (grew up on the eastern side of the state). I'll be curious who I want to win between Nebraska and Iowa in basketball now though. Gut feeling is that it'll be Iowa, but who knows? It's definitely Nebraska in football.
It's too bad that he didn't decide that was his one true dream in life, I think I agree with him on politics.
Then CF would be pulling for Nebraska
Honestly, we just need to ignore them. Our staff needs to be ruthless on the recruiting trail and needs to make sure every recruit knows that 1) he'll bolt when the next shiny things comes along and 2) he may pretend to love recruiting, but he'll lose interest fast.
Good luck, Matt A is gonna get down and dirty and unlike ISU, Nebraska’s AD don’t give a ****.

He's been recorded talking about how Fred is a huge role model and mentor for him. It's not improbable that he'd want to play for him.
Somehow I doubt he will build THE dominant program in college basketball in Lincoln.
So some player who shoots 17% from three goes 10 for 11 from long range. No, thanks. I don't know if you noticed, but a great deal of those unusually good three point shooting games from our opponents were the result of wide open threes after double teams. I guess I just don't have your imagination. The refs called nothing inside and we did not have the beef to counter. Lard played as well as he has but wasn't able to move Wesson off the post as he plowed over anything in his path. We lost by a bucket, had a chance up until the end, but you would prefer a blow out. And you don't generally double team with two bigs, you double team with a quick guard who can steal the ball and hopefully get back in position to guard the man left wide open.
And did anyone think Cael would turn a 2-time team national champ (1920s and 1950s) PSU into winners of 8 out of the last 9 team national championships?
Meh....I know nebraska fans think he will automatically get every recruit that Steve or Fran would have gotten....I don't think so. I hope--but I am constantly surprised--that he would be very respectful for his legacy to not dirty recruit or really recruit much at all against ISU's interests. I guess we'll see...I am sure he will have full deniability if some of his staff act like Nebraska staff's do on recruiting trail.
I just really wish he would have went somewhere else...far away.....my buzz on him has really been dampened. I sure as hell hope he doesn't truly get into politics in 5 years or so in some NW or Central Iowa district....so freaking predictable and boring.
It's just dumb because it's not their's. It's like if Iowa State started chanting "go big red." It's not original.
Yes, many thought it was possible he could turn them into perennial national champion competitors. Really no comparison to basketball and Nebraska. Hoiberg could turn them into consistently getting tournament berths.
Turning around a Big 10 wrestling program in arguably the most talent rich wrestling state in the nation is much easier than turning around a basketball program, that has never won an NCAA tourney game in history, located in BFE Nebraska.
He will likely turn them into a good Big 10 team that might win 1-2 NCAA games every now and again, not 8 national titles. And lets not forget, Fred also lost to freaking UAB with a team loaded with NBA players.
I'll root for them against Iowa otherwise it's like hoping the girl who broke up with you ends up getting cheated on by her new boyfriend.
