  1. As Nebraska is about to begin conference play I thought I'd go to the B1G website and compare the teams. There are clearly 2 leaders in stat comparisons. Offensive Stats: Can you say Rutgers? Rutgers is the leader in offense and folks, it's not even close. The Huskers sit mostly in the middle here but having played the schedule they have that is somewhat expected but Rutgers though their schedule isn't as impressive, still they have done what they must and offensively, done it well. Defense Stats: Defensive stats begins and ends with Nebraska and like Rutgers offensive stat comparison, the defensive stats lead is also not close. (Though the separation in offensive stats is more glaring) Huskers Team ERA has an impressive lead but the Fielding % is only middle of the pack. The Huskers also lead in SBA% (stolen base attempts Pitcher to Catcher) as well. To be honest, if stats mean anything early (we know they often don't) then and well.. the conference is a two pony race with Maryland & Ohio State vying for the consolations. This Rutgers team is hitting the crap out of the ball right now. We'll see if those bats continue to be as hot once conference play begins. Sadly for the Huskers, the Rutgers series is played in Piscataway, N.J. Buckle Up Baby, conference play begins tomorrow
  2. Hmm.. Didn't know this but Tyrus (former NWA Champ) was a graduate of Kearney State. I also learned he once said "upon graduating I left in a rush because I couldn't afford the gown". Who knew???

  3. Michigan State loaded the bases in the top of the first, Michigan changes pitchers and gets a popup for out 1 and double play to end the inning. Huge let down for MSU fans and players. Also, with all the MAC schools around (and couple other D1 programs) why the MSU vs Michigan midweek game?
  4. I'm ok with the Rutger's pitcher getting the award. 9 innings is at least 3 more batters faced and also something most coaches don't like to do. So give the Rutgers pitcher the award. The South Alabama week was a little harder to swallow but Iowa had a doubleheader that Saturday and having that pitcher throw 6 scoreless allowing only 1 hit (i think) was a huge advantage for them. Still, I'd have given the award to Sears so in this game I totally agree. Edit: Just checked the awards out the week of the south bama game. Rhett Stokes was the "Player of the Week" so maybe that's another reason Brett wasn't awarded.
  5. Canceled not postponed.. that sucks.. but seriously, why risk injury. I think its a good decision. Going to be a long boring week without our midweek baseball fix.. Grrr!!!
  6. Agree with you @Xmas32 we should soon hear but starting late won't help. According to the local weather station, Manhattan's high today is supposed to be between 3-4pm. Temps are supposed to rapidly drop after sundown as they'll have a clear sky. Wind factor would be better for sure though and I assume that is what your referring too when "warmer later". Good Point!!
  7. Seat Geek might be doable though the sidelines would be kind of crowded. That field is 120 x 75 (yards) but does look to have some 10 -15 yards extra per side.
  8. The game will be played. Maybe start at 4:00 instead of 6:00. Yep, icy cold (did i spell icy right? stupid spell check) and wind at 15-20 early but tapering off some by game time. Nebraska needs this road game to get their routine and prepare for the weekend. Less than ideal conditions but you stay focused on the goal and come prepared. Going to be a good one tonight. Fingers crossed we come out on top!! GBR!!!
  9. K State has Texas this weekend. That's huge for us I think. 1. It might result in trying to stretch arms, likely not but... everyone hates Texa$$. 2. Hopefully, they will be looking forward and come in over confident. Bolt & Company need to win this game. I'll argue this 1 game is more important overall than a series win over Northwestern because if we can win this game and the home game it's a series sweep of which, one win is on the road. (rpi boost). Yes, losing a series to Northwestern would be horrendous in both rpi and conference standings so as I type this I know the Northwestern series is more important, still, beating K State in Manhattan would be a very respectable win.
  10. Hmm... Wichita State's not playing at home today. Maybe meet N. Mexico halfway and play a double tomorrow and try (hope for) a Sunday game. Looking at the accuweather hourly, feel like is 32° Rules Book on Weather: Fitness of Field SECTION 2� a� The coach and the director of athletics (or representative) of the host institution shall decide whether a game shall not be started because of unsatisfactory conditions of weather or playing field, except for the second game of a doubleheader� b� Should bad weather or unfit conditions prevail during a game, the umpirein-chief may consult with the game administrator to determine suspension, resumption or termination of play� In the case of lightning, the game administrator and umpire-in-chief shall follow lightning guidelines in the appendix section� c� The umpire-in-chief of the first game shall be the sole judge as to whether playing conditions permit the start of a second game of a doubleheader� Umm... StatsBroadcast Lineup showing Brett Sears starting... Is Christo not feeling well or is Childress playing hop skip today? and... HUGE UGH!!! Matt Anderson is the plate ump again
  11. Sent Home!! Guess I'll be watching the games in my lounger today Was informed that I am being sent home but I can use PTO for the remainder of the day. I asked why, boss replied "well, I received a complaint that you were out of uniform".. Yeah Me!! Next post will be on my phone from my lazy boy!
  12. I'll post the interaction with the boss if one occurs. Currently 9:38 and nothing has been said.
  13. My employer allows the employees to wear the logo of their favorite college team on Friday's during football season but not outside of football. Today I'm wearing Red to work against the company policy. First, are you wearing Red today? Secondly, do you think I'm "justifiably" risking getting written up? Lastly, if you were my boss, would you write me up?
  14. Glad to read this. Weather this weekend will be an issue. Hopefully they play a double Saturday if the weather looks unplayable on Sunday. Time will tell but regardless, just win baby!! On a side note: Weather looks clear for the midweek at K State. (Chilly but dry)
  15. @Mavric - What's your thoughts on a doubleheader Saturday? This mornings forecast indicates Sunday to be all rain, all day.
  16. I think Tims (timmerman) is an important piece. He can throw that nasty stuff but he likely needs to develop it in the summer leagues. Situational this year and then see what fall ball brings but still, his situational arm will be an important part this year. Caleb I think is an emergency go to guy, situational, 1 out type arm this year. Use him that way and let him build his confidence especially in games like last nights where the outcome was never really in doubt. I know they're also developing daiss as their closer but I'd have like to see them throw Caleb in that situation.
  17. If you go to www.hardcorehusky.com you can view what that fanbase is saying. Mostly, he didn't fit in because he's not liberal enough and is not a DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) guy. That said, they obviously aren't happy about his departure nor would we if in their shoes. They're saying many of the same things we said like.. wth good is contract these days.. etc
  18. So, as of 3.19.2024, here are the teams current pitching stats.. any surprises in there? I'd say my biggest surprise is Kyle Perry having only 5.2 innings pitched. Before the season started I fully expected Kyle to be our mid-week starter but honestly, I like how Childress & Bolt are using Kyle.
  19. How long before we actually know the "why he left" truth? It all seems so unbelievable and then what the march madness committee did, wth guys?
  20. Total agree here and playing 2 mid week with cold weather incoming will likely show why your statement above is spot on.
  21. Wish they'd have move the start on this to 4:00. The weather would be a little nicer I think. This coming weekend.. more than likely we will see a double header Saturday as Sunday is supposed to be all rain. Friday is the best weather for the weekend. Wish they could schedule a doubleheader Friday and play the final game Saturday to let the lobos catch an early flight and head home ahead of the weather. Yes it would be taxing on the arms but I'd rather get 3 games in and not risk injury to players playing in cold weather.
  22. The series win is nice true but the sweep was huge. We faced a pitcher in his sophomore season that nearly won his regional game against bama last year. Outside of those in the Husker locker room and fanbase not many expected a Husker Friday Night victory and honestly, they shouldn't have. Nebraska though they had beaten the GCU ace, had struggled scoring in the TT & OU losses against lesser pitchers. Sweeping Nicholls, who will be a regional team, in RPI and SOS was huge. Hopefully we can keep it going for a while. Need all 5 games this week. and lastly, how about Walsh.. dude is on fire baby. Hopefully that bat keeps stroking and poking it. Should be B1G's player of the week and most certainly would be if the B1G combined pitching into the equation but they don't so his Tuesday victory on the mound won't be factored into the POW award. Regardless... Team overcame a tough Friday game and some rather chilly temps Sunday to sweep the series.. Congrats on doing was you should do if a regional host is in your sites.
  23. Because you were attempting to use the facts to belittle an opponent rather than taking a moment to actually look into the team as a whole. Your original post was made in an attempt to "snub" Nebraska's victory.
  24. Just so we all know where Evan Bland's comment regarding Sam Hill I asked google to define "what in Sam Hill" means and the answer is: Store owner in Arizona: Sam Hill was also a mercantile store owner who offered a vast and diverse inventory of goods. People began using the term "what in the Sam Hill is that?" to describe something they found odd or unusual, just like the inventory found in Sam Hill's store.
