Nothing can ever top the Shim-Shams, for halftime entertainment. A group of dancing elderly ladies. It was so bad, Lee Barfnecht completely lost it.
“Nebraska basketball has a hard enough time being taken seriously without suffering the self-inflicted embarrassment that occurred Saturday night against Oklahoma State. As the Huskers and Cowboys left the court at halftime, the crowd was invited to stay for a performance by The Shim Shams, a group of elderly women dancers. Among those I saw near a hot dog line were two prominent members of the Nebraska athletic family, one who shook his head, pointed toward the arena floor and repeated the phrase, ‘Are you kidding me?’ In many ways, it’s symbolic of what looks like administrative numbness toward a major revenue-producing sport, which is puzzling at a school that prides itself on excellence.” Lee Barfknecht, columnist, Omaha World Herald
