Steven M. Sipple: NU football schedule talk; Moos’ dialogue with donors; and tip of cap to Doc | Column



The pandemic obviously made mincemeat of the original schedule.

“But, you know, we went out and played,” Moos says. “We won some, lost some, ended on a good note, had a good recruiting year, lost some kids to the portal — that’s going to happen every year for every school. Hey, our sleeves are rolled up and we’re working hard. I like the direction our programs are going.”

Yes, Moos is an optimist. He fully acknowledges that. But I have a feeling that if he didn’t genuinely like what he was seeing, he would make us aware of it, albeit in a subtle manner. 

* Tip of the cap to the Rutgers women’s basketball team, which has won all three of its games — including two straight on the road — by an average of 16.7 points since returning from a 35-day COVID hiatus. No excuses. Love that. Same goes for the Michigan men’s squad, which came off a 23-day pause and defeated Wisconsin on Sunday in Madison.

The Wolverines reasserted themselves as the best team in the Big Ten.

* Let’s not forget Doc Sadler in this conversation. The Nebraska men’s hoops team is fourth in defensive efficiency in the Big Ten since coming off its pause, per BTN analyst Dave Revsine. The Huskers dig in hard on defense. That tells you their effort level is still good to great. Doc takes serious pride in that “D.”
