Who Are We?

The Beginning

Our names are Blake and Mike – two passionate #Nebrasketball die hard fans. We both graduated from of the University of Nebraska in the late 2010’s, majoring in the most miserable program in D1 basketball.

We both became infatuated with the basketball program, seeing the potential that surrounded it – a beautiful arena, a stunning surrounding Haymarket area, and fan support that bleeds for a winner.

So – How Did the Scarlet Shootaround Become?

As huge fans, we never felt there was enough coverage of the basketball team to quench our thirsts. We yearned for a greater community to share the excitement/disappointment with. We joke about it all the time – this idea spawned from a text one day, and we said “Let’s do it”.
