Coach Chats from home now

We have received several reports at The Times of Michael Messerly and Coach "Chats" heading west on I-20 in a convertible Mustang, two scarves blowing carefree in the wind.

In reality, Messerly is not feeling well today because Coach "Chats," as he fondly calls Pokey Chatman (the only living human to voluntarily and legally change her name to Pokey), is now at home watching the rest of the women's tournament, her annual loss in the semifinal game taken care of. Meanwhile, the men's NIT, Nebraska's basketball home in the best of times, is over for this year.

It will be a long offseason.
