@JakePaynting How do the wolves get in the same tier as them bro?



Monday Rewind! P.J. Fleck has averaged 7.8 wins in eight non-COVID seasons at Minnesota. Given the Gophers’ six-game winning streak against the Huskers — including a 24-6 humiliation last year — this statement will smack of hubris, but 7.8 wins per season isn’t what Matt Rhule’s here to achieve. Everything about way Rhule operates suggests a fervent desire to be more than a regional program, more than the teams (Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois) that have beaten NU in recent years. Given the Huskers’ 60-year history, that makes sense. It’s a burden, of course, and at this point an unfair one, but also understood when any coach takes the job. It’s part of why Rhule is open about the over-the-cap NIL costs. You want a national program? Here’s what it takes. It’s uncomfortable, but honest. So here comes QB Anthony Colandrea, Nebraska’s most important offseason addition, saying the quiet part out loud. And there's nothing wrong with it. omaha.com/sports/huskers…





Fun Fact: The Wolves traded more picks for Rudy Gobert than he had total points scored in Game 5 and 6.

The Gobert trade remains a failure, same as it always was. Franchises get 2-3 players EVER like Ant. The only goal once you get one is to win a title. At no point ever for one second were the Wolves serious title contenders with Rudy, and the investment set the team back years.


I really hate how when a team loses we relitigate everything. The Wolves gave up a bunch of picks for Rudy and he had a bad Game 6 against a better team. They traded KAT because of the CBA for Randle and he had a bad series. They made two WCFs and got to the second round, for a team that has been a historical joke since KG in 2004, TWENTY years ago. They built a good team, they couldn't get it to put it together. It doesn't mean it wasn't worth it.

With the Wolves getting knocked out by Oklahoma City and San Antonio these last two seasons, asked Naz Reid about what they need to do to be able to catch those teams. "Probably just the moodiness. You look at both of those teams and they're playing for one another, they're excited to be on the floor with one another, they're a team where they're selfless... I think we have more than enough talent... But just being less moody. I think that's just the name of the game for us, just being less moody and more selfless."
