… on the UNO Mavs in the upcoming NCAA tournament. They might be the only team I don’t feel guilty about cheating on the Huskers with. Local team, huge underdogs, national darlings if they do happen to win.

I’ve never watched a minute of a Maverick game. I can’t name a single player on their team. Don’t know who their coach is. But I did buy an Omaha Mavericks T-shirt from a gas station once because I was drunk and puked on my original shirt. I will see if I can find that and wear it when they play Thursday. Or Friday. Hell, I don’t know. Haven’t gotten that far in my fandom yet.
 
All true. Problem if they won would be dealing with the jokes that UNO would have a win when UNL still does not.

If they beat St Johns, we deserve it.

At a minimum, we should have beaten Xavier in '91 and Penn in '94. I can listen to arguments on the other six losses, but...yeah.

The Mavericks beat St Johns with that roster on their first trip? We should drop basketball and never speak of the sport again.

I'm not really sure why this is the case as we were a 3 seed against Xavier and a 6 seed against Penn. I was 8 years old when Nebraska lost to Penn and vaguely remember it. But I read this somewhere a few years ago that when Nebraska lost to Penn, it was considered one of the biggest upsets in NCAA Tournament history at the time.
 
St. John's was probably the worst 2 seed they could've drawn unfortunately due to their effectiveness on the glass. I was hoping for Michigan State. Go Mavs.

With the Fiddler story line I’m surprised it didn’t happen as the committee always do these stupid matchups

I think he was saying we definitely should have won those games.
 
In this case, I don’t care that they are a Nebraska team. The only team I possibly would cheer for Pickle Smoochers against is Texas. And even that would be tough.
