Huskers need to stay focused and get this sweep as we won't sweep Indiana or Michigan State. (MSU is balling out right now) I do think if we can get the win tomorrow we'll win the conference title. Stinking Illinois and Purdue are playing one another the last weekend. Indiana is at Nebraska and home against Michigan. Therein is our biggest challenge. Hence why we need the sweep of Minny and a series win at home next weekend.

Huge!!

lol, the B1G tourney is on BTN I hate how little coverage the BTN has of baseball. I realize in fairness they feel its necessary but honestly they'd rather us have to watch all olympic sports that nobody cares about. Heck, give us more hockey too, mens or womens. Give us baseball and softball. The BTN's schedule today: HORRIBLE 1 Baseball game 1 Softball game The Big Show (like 10 hours of it) 1 Womens Lacrosse (like anyone wants to watch that) 1 Men's Lacrosse (like maybe they'll get 2000 views) How about less "B1G Show" content and more "Baseball" BTN!!!

And today's game is the scariest of the weekend. Minnesota's Saturday starter can sling the rock. Wietgrefe is a lefty with 4 pitches (fastball, change, curve, slider) and a nasty slider he'll throw that breaks across the outside corner against right handed hitters. Against lefties he'll set up the change with a high fastball. Wietfrefe is a B1G pitcher of the week that is a no nonsense pitcher. Gotta get this one. McConaughey hopefully is up for the challenge and the bats come out ready to get nasty against one of the B1G's best pitchers. Go Huskers!!!

Scary game but the good guys pulled it out. Huge bomb by Carey.. HUGE!!! Also, good to see Daiss shut the door like he did.

Lots of things need to happen before FSU and Clemson leave. This FSU vs ACC case is getting interesting. ESPN counter sued FSU to keep what they (ESPN) call "trade secrets" hidden and unsealed for public review. LINK Hmm.... What might ESPN be hiding? Whose name is actually on FSU's signature line and/or Was ESPN's contract with the ACC teams approved in a shady manner? I'm far from an FSU fan but I'm so hoping they win this and force ESPN to reveal the documents.

Typical example of whats wrong with the Huskers men's programs. Women's programs openly talk about expecting to reach post season play. Volleyball "expects" to be in the championship game every year.. They're winners!!! Meantime, the men (like you) set mediocre goals and even less expectations. GTFO of the program if you don't want to meet the fans expectations!!! Not a single fan expects any husker sport, not even Volleyball, to be in the post season "every" year. What they expect is to see players competing with an obvious drive for winning. What the men are doing is playing with the goals of just doing enough to say they tried! Hopefully that lackluster effort is changing in football with leaders like the seniors that returned. Monday's Bolt show and sports nightly was PATHETIC.. Total pacifist and blatant avoidance of any subject matter. Why can't we win midweek games, because the players are a reflection of the coach and it's not a winners perception. They too hate fans like me @Husker Baseball 2025 hence why they won't host. edit: another example of what you are mr. Husker Baseball 2025.. just an fyi, Hide Much??

I know you're young and were never taught that winners hate losing more than they love winning.. It's the coddled way of youth sports these days in where every team is rewarded a medal regardless of the performances. That said... I'm sure the premier baseball coach in husker history whom mind you took over a program that hadn't been to the post season in well over a decade didn't and wouldn't agree with you. He literally would not have come to Lincoln "if" a commitment from the uni to build a "regional host ballpark" wasn't part of the deal. Van Horn won.. he expected to win, he talked about winning, he hated losing and he didn't and still doesn't make excuses when coddled players come to park with pathetically low energy and even lower expectations. Just to remind you what a winner is: taken from arky's website Yes... Winners set goals and expectations and Van Horn's expectation was to HOST regionals. So yes, I take offense to your snobbish and insulting remark to fans that expect the same things as the programs best ever coach expected. Now, take your losing youthful agenda to the dumpster and throw it away along with all the other woke BS the losing athletes of today game with. Winners Win, Winners Expect to win, Winners are pissed when they lose because losing SUCKS!! Winners set goals, Winners set expectations, Winners want to be held to higher expectations by themselves, their coaches and yes, the fan base. When they fail it F'n hurts to the core!!! Man.. post like yours just piss me off. Posts like yours are exactly what's wrong with Husker's men's sports today. Coddled, pathetic and a disgusting example of want and determination!!

sorry for the double post but I think the D1 Baseball article best answers this question. Brocket Throws No Hitter - D1 Baseball Article

The B1G is projected to only get 2 teams in. Nebraska to host had to win the conference, win 40+ games and maintain a top 20 rpi to be considered. Sadly, their out of the top 20 in rpi, they're not winning 40 and currently not winning the conference. So yeah... not even a flash in the committee's thoughts. What could have been "if" the players and staff didn't take midweek games off.

This is correct, I'm saying against Indiana which is the following weekend after the this weekends Minnesota series. You couldn't have fully read my post and assume I was saying he'd start Sunday. Huskers play Minnesota this weekend. They play South Dakota State and Indiana at home next week. Yes, I can see him having earned a weekend start against Indiana. Pending that and the results he has the Huskers then travel to Michigan State to end the season. Could he get a "first" conference road start? Time will tell. Lastly and just as an fyi (though I am certain you know this but in case you don't)... if in post season (conference tourney's rarely but regionals and especially super regionals, yes, it's not "uncommon" to see starters on a 4 day rotation. Obviously however, on a pitch count in the 4th day start.

We play Minnesota on the road this weekend. Brocket won't be the Sunday starter but against Indiana (at home mind you), yes I can see him being given the Sunday start. The midweek opponent next week is South Dakota State and likely Horn to start. After Indiana, no midweek opponent, the Huskers travel to Michigan State and yes, pending how Brocket pitches next week, he could get his first conference weekend road start.

Not this weekend, maybe next weekend but this weekend won't happen. That said, in the weekend series against Indiana, Nebraska rotation vary well could be Sears (under 2.0 era), McConaughey (under 3.0 era), Brocket (under 3.0 era). That might be the final weekend starters and hopefully that lineup leads to a conference championship.

and thats your pitcher of the week in the B1G!! Congrats to JB!! All I can say is wow!!

It's Nebraska, players that don't care, staff that doesn't care. They treat midweek games as a glorified practice and it's pathetic. Losing begets Losing! It was so apparent in Bolt's radio show last night. He simply doesn't care about midweek games. He virtually said it. It's almost like Bolt and staff go into midweek knowing they'll lose and he just doesn't care. He throws away any and all chances at hosting as a result. I called the show last night in hopes of asking about it and they wouldn't let me. They did ask me if I had another question to ask though before terminating my call. Total Coddling of Bolt. Scripting the questions. I lost "all" respect for him last night following that call. When a coach screens calls because the caller presents a difficult but honest question... well that shows arrogance and disrespect to the fan base. My question was a simple one. I wanted to ask Bolt if he, like the fans, believes the midweek performances over the last few seasons has cost us 1. a post season and 2. a chance to host. The screener would not allow the question.
