OU fan base has also witnessed success. Nebraska fans have never witnessed them win a tournament game.

Just a totally different set of expectations between the two.

Its like building Indiana football. If their coach had won 7 games in the year, they would have been thrilled and extended him.

neither has any xp winning, like at all.. Kevin Wilson took them to back to back bowl games (before they fired him for being too mean lol) and that was like unheard of

That was my point. Would we have had enough patience with him after 4 seasons on those results? A lot of the historical b-ball success we’ve had vs. Nebraska isn’t as crucial these days with NIL. Decent rosters can be assembled by teams like Nebraska, that 20 years ago…would have been hard to come by in Lincoln. Back in the day, the OU job would have been considered much better than the Neb job. That gap has shrank considerably. Before Hoiberg took over Nebraska, the program had won 19 & 22 games in the previous two seasons. In Hoiberg’s early seasons…the Big 10 wasn’t near as good as the SEC was last year or the last couple of seasons in the Big 12, when OU was still in that league.

I think Hoiberg has done a great job this year especially, with a team that isn’t very athletic, but plays very well as a team.
