Freaking pumped! GBR!!!!!

You didn't say anything about profitable your quote was listed below: I'm simply pushing back on that notion as the Big Ten has invested in making wrestling a more enjoyable sport to watch.

It's probably not your cup of tea and I realize I'm nitpicking here but the Big Ten has heavily invested in wrestling the last couple years and really turned into a great TV product. They've really blown up their 'Friday Night Wrestling' thing and done a nice job of showcasing great matchups. Granted this can be done because the Big Ten is the big dog in college wrestling.

I generally loathe most things ESPN but their college baseball streaming options on ESPN+/SEC+/ACCNX are just top notch and that's on top of the nice job that the SEC Network does once conference play gets going. The thing is, it's not the Big Ten is pumping out tons of content during the spring/summer. That being said, $40/yr for BTN+ for conference baseball isn't too bad. My big gripe is the camera set up in a few parks is generally brutal and makes the games unwatchable.

Really good article from Corn Nation about how the non starters for Nebraska did. Dylan Guenther's stuff is really, really good. https://www.cornnation.com/2024/3/3/24088575/wrestling-how-did-nebraskas-redshirts-and-backups-do-this-year

The line actually dropped in favor of Nebraska once Thornton for tOSU was declared out. It dropped to -2.5 from -3.5

Nebraska really struggling to get anything going. Charleston pitchers blowing through the NU line up. Currently B7, still 3-1 COFC. Pitching change for Nebraska, Brockett in for Christo. Christo another solid outing--6.2 IP 4H 3R 2ER 1BB 2K 85 pitches

I am not prepared to live in a world where Nebraska loses again to Colorado and Team Sanders.

Bah, freaking Flobaseball. Darn you! Looks like the weather is pretty cruddy in Charleston today. Runs might be at a premium.

Abbreviated thoughts from the dual. Some interesting officiating there at times... 125--ASU wins the toss up match, all of these 125 matches are razor thin affairs. Figueroa is a tough dude. 133--Nice win by Van Dee 141--Hardy did what he needed to do to control and get the win. 149--Tough beat for Ridge. I didn't love the 1st stalling call on him but at the same time, I don't think Ridge took a single offensive shot the entire match. These are the types of matches he'll need to win if he wants to get to the top of the podium. Hat tip to Parco, he scored on a great shot there. 157--Stiles really handled himself well. He had Teemer in a lot of trouble there and I thought it was a little bit chicken stuff that they let Teemer bail out into a potentially dangerous situation when he was a 1 count away from being in neutral danger. Meh. 165--Really nice job by Taylor pouring it on at the end and getting the nice win. 174--Snooze fest, nice job Bubba winning 1-0 haha 184--Solid job by Lenny controlling the match, no real fault there at the end giving up the TD when Lenny was trying to get bonus points. 197--Allred hammered that dude. Nice job getting a TF over a clearly overmatched opponent. HWT--Nash gets the FF'd with Schultz out of town for Pan-Ams I think? It's looking more and more likely that Nash will be the guy at HWT for Nebraska in the post season. Next stop: The boys get a little time off to rest and recharge and then it's Big Tens on March 9th and 10th in Maryland. GBR!

YUGE!

Also appears to be confirmed on GCU's baseball page: https://gculopes.com/news/2024/2/21/baseball-gcu-welcomes-nebraska-for-4-game-set.aspx

I took this from Evan Bland's OWH article on the series: Nebraska at Grand Canyon Where: Brazell Field at GCU Ballpark, Phoenix, Arizona Radio: Huskers Radio Network Video stream: ESPN+ 7 p.m. Thursday: RHP Drew Christo (0-0, 9.00 ERA) vs. RHP Daniel Avitia (1-0, 1.50) 7 p.m. Friday: RHP Brett Sears (0-0, 1.69) vs. RHP Carter Young (1-0, 1.80) 7 p.m. Saturday: LHP Will Walsh (0-0, 4.76) vs. RHP Connor Mattison (3.00) 1 p.m. Sunday: LHP Caleb Clark (0-0, 3.38) vs. RHP Hunter Watkins (0-0, 6.00) https://omaha.com/sports/huskers/baseball/trip-to-undefeated-balanced-grand-canyon-next-challenge-up-for-nebraska-baseball/article_1d92d9db-b6b9-5c54-84eb-c8421c087b28.html

Agreed, GCU will be a tough out. This would be a really fun series to attend because GCU's ballpark is really top notch. A split would be pretty good and if they can steal tonight's game with Cristo going GCU's ace that would be huge.

Good early season test for Christo. Grand Canyon is off to a hot start.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through Griselda on Netflix. Premise of the show is it's based on Griselda Blanco who was a ruthless cocaine trafficker in Miami back in the 1980s. In the show she's played by Sofia Vergara which is hysterical because Griselda was...not attractive. If you don't know anything about her it's pretty good. I had already seen a couple documentaries so I was pretty familiar but still wanted to give it a watch. It's only 6 episodes so not too bad. There is some graphic violence (headless corpses, etc) and a little big of nudity so buyer beware there.

I don't disagree

Yep agreed. Just seems like the home team is usually always favored when these 2 teams play. This is also just a way too early guess on my part based on historical guessing.

Probably a dog at Iowa, otherwise agree.

Feels like Nebraska got a bit cheated to not go at least 2-1 this weekend against some pretty stiff competition. Texas Tech is always a tough out and Oklahoma (at least early appears to be off to a good start. As @Loebarth mentioned, big 4 game set against Grand Canyon who are off to a strong start and could very well be 4-0 when Nebraska comes into town this Thursday.
