  1. Not everything falls under the hitting coach imo. There are decisions made at other levels. My only frustration over the last month is the lack of small ball in some obvious situations. We have put up a lot of 0 score innings when we had 1st and second, or better, with no outs. Scoring or not in those situations is the difference in many close ball games. Would like to see us follow the analytics a little more often. That said, still another solid series win and still in position for post season play. GBR!
  2. Typo or don't know the kids name? Tucker did pitch well. Glad he got the start.
  3. And then.... a solid win.
  4. We are one win from being tied for 6th... not bad when you remove your all year Friday starter before the season starts. That's almost like losing a QB. If DR got hurt in fall camp, would you cut the football team a bit of slack?
  5. We were a 3rd base coaching decision away from back to back walk offs and then a walk away sweep... men are playing good imo. Take the top pitcher away from amy b1g team and they aren't making the tournament except maybe iowa. Pretty solid performance under the circumstances imo. Win 4 of next 7 and they are in with a chance. Walsh does need to get his mojo back for them to have a chance though. Gbr!
  6. I like the move. Means a certain someone will get the start Friday. Good luck kid. You deserve the shot.
  7. Solid considering we lost our ace preseason. I'll be happy to see them lock in a B1G tournament spot. Nothing is guaranteed right now.
  8. PSU labeled wrong. Should be in green but still not as much as Nebraska.
  9. So Nebraska is the most profitable in the B1G and 3rd most profitable among power 5. Not too bad.
  10. One of the most entertaining games of the season... those who missed it really missed out.
  11. That is Northwestern's mascot?
  12. This didn't age well...
  13. I think every able bodied adult should be limited to 18 to 24 months of financial government assistance prior to retirement. Use it when you want to get yourself our of a hole to hopefully get ahead by the end of the term. Once it's gone, it gone. I think people would be a lot more motivated and our economy would benefit.
  14. From my experience people like the one being discussed in the story will always find themselves back in the same position, regardless of the type of assistance being provided. I have arguments on both sides and frankly think our society is getting softer by the day regardless of who holds office. Until we have parents doing their job and setting real values, it won't matter what happens politically imo.
  15. Crazy how much extra cash motivates college kids... who would have thought?

  17. Gotcha... thanks
  18. Are you watching the same player?? I am not sure how you can't be excited for the performance this kid has put on over the last two games. He is flat busting his a$$ to make the most of his first true playing time during meaningful minutes. If we had that kind of effort from the rest of the team during the final stretch of the season, we would have been a tournament team. I for one hope he gets the start again on Saturday.
  19. Not sure there is any team in college sports I hate more than BYU... Not sure if I love or hate that we are playing them but either way I will be at the game next fall.
  20. Since 2000, Nebraska holds a 40-27 record vs Creighton in baseball. During our entire basketball history, we are 28-30 with wins in 2 of our last 3 years. So just looking at those two sports, we have a combined winning record. Not sure where the narrative is coming from but Creighton doesn't win most of anything. Maybe it is coming from the bad stretch we had against them in basketball from 2011 to 2017 where we lost 7 in a row?
  21. Just like in basketball this year, right?
  22. It is a couple of clips without context - give the kid a chance.
  23. I would wait to see what players opt out. Guessing most teams will be missing at least one or two. Nebraska Vs Az St is interesting to me- both teams finished on big losing streaks. Maybe take a prop bet on biggest blown lead by a team?
  24. Pretty easy to analyze after the fact. Not sure what your point is or your reasoning behind the initial comment was. His takes are usually pretty spot on and I agree with his original. I think that will be proven quickly in the NCAA tourney.
  25. Re watched a few of our games from the last month. I will admit, we have a problem with players not giving 100% at times. There was some sickness, and some injury issues, but some other just can't be explained. When they played with energy, they were a pretty damn good team. When they didn't, it was like Sunday. I like Fred but I can't put that on anything other than lack of effectiveness from the coach. I hope he is back next year because I think he is a very good coach. However, he needs to fix whatever has been impacting this team.
