Borist started hot, but loses command a bit. Gives up run and tying run at plate 

He always gets my heart rate up. He's not consistent enough and it scares the b'geebees out of me.

Big Will comes through with a 2 out 3 run bomb.. 

6-2 good guys

Getting Scary, very VERY scary

I'm also a fan of Tiger. Wears his emotions on his sleeve 

Tiger finished at +2 (9 strokes back if memory serves). I still believe he has a top 10 finish. I look for him to rebound today and get back to scratch golf or better. Hoping he shoots -3 today. 

Not to be a debbie downer but this series scares me. Sunday's matchup might decide the weekend series. Gotta win the first one boys.. GBR!!!

Edit: Thought I'd see were Nolan prediction's at, seems I might not be alone in my concern over this series.... :/ (hoping I and Warren Nolan are wrong)

senseless argument aside it cant happen every week.

This I am full agreement with you. We need to develop our next year rotation and that's what midweek games are for. It's also why the midweek games have very little effect on polling votes. Sure, bad losses are bad losses but conference winners mask those with the achievements accomplished in conference and I'm sure you'll agree with that statement.

throwing a guy to get 2 innings on a Tuesday and not using him again until Saturday isn't an issue. They used Daiss for 2 innings and he'll be used if needed Friday. Bullpen arms are meant to throw in consecutive nights. They aren't stressed with 70+ pitches and are often used only in situational pitching. Nebraska could have used Horn for 2, KP for 2 (not likely KP would have given up 4+ runs) and Olsen for 2 followed by 1 inning each for Borst, Daiss, Sanders... May or may not have made a difference but to argue the weekend bullpen shouldn't be used on Tuesday is kind of a senseless statement in the full spectrum of the game.

midweek games are developmental games and it's why the voters don't put much emphasis on them. Still, if Nebraska wants to continue it's poll climb they'll need to win every series and sweep one like Rutgers who has really struggled of late. Scary thing is, Rutgers has the offense to really challenge us and their Saturday starts (outside of High Point) have been exceptionally difficult. Can't express how important it is for us to win Friday. Especially on the road. As for the midweek game. It wouldn't hurt Bolt to use an under used experienced pitcher like KP in say innings 3 & 4 on a regular basis given the success Sears has been having on Friday's imo, which as we all know isn't worth a grain of salt. Huskers are ranked and we're here bit*&ing about it. In the prez's words "Come On Man".

KU is on a 4 game losing skid. (Midweek to Wichita St and the weekend sweep by W. Virginia)

We'll need to score some runs tonight.. going to take 7 or more to win but the Huskers are ready!! 

Hit'em hard boys!! GBR

It's good to see we stayed ranked. Midweek games shouldn't have a huge effect on rankings. Winning series and staying atop the conference will earn us a regional host. Even if we win 42+ games though we won't be a super regional seeded team though. Unless, and the season is only half over, something drastically changes. Go on a 10-0 or 12-0 run and well... one never knows. Regardless, 2 series into conference play and the good guys are still on top. AWESOME!!!

Coons is a hack umpire. I'm predicting Bolt or Childress will be tossed before this game ends. Coons will do everything he can to put our pitching & hitters at a disadvantage. He openly hates Nebraska and should be banned from umpiring any and all Nebraska games.

Thanks @Micheal for keeping up the play by play.

Series win.. Series win.. Coming from behind to win it 7-3

Go Big Red.. 5 & 0 baby... Awesome outing by the arms again. 3 pitchers used over 2 games. Fresh pen for the Sunday match up!!

Illinois keeps the pressure on though.. scoring 3 in the 9th to take the 7-4 lead.

Let's get some more insurance runs!

Done.. Top on 9, lead stretched to 5. 7-2 good guys. Worthley on to close it out. Good outing by him today as well. If he shuts the door the huskers will have used only 3 pitchers in the first 2 games.

Bottom of the 8th in Lincoln, still 6-2 but... in Minny, the gophers have tied it up in the bottom of the 7th, all knotted at 4.

Headed to the 7th. Good Guys up 6-2, Big McC still on the mound.

Quick 1, 2, 3 top of the 6th.. really good outing so far for McConnaughey. Through 6, he's only thrown 66 pitches

Yeah!!!

Got some sticks (whew) AWESOME!! Might that be the spark they needed?

and bottom of 5 still trailing by 2, starting with the 3 hole at the plate. need a run, come on RED!!

Hoping Nebraska can quickly figure out it's sticks... Need to get at least one here. Lets go Huskers!! Trailing 2-0 bottom of 4

1-10 with risp 

As a fan it frustrates me. Have to wonder how much more frustrating it must be for the players and staff. I keep saying I'm worried about the sticks but they keep scoring enough to win. Hoping it continues all weekend. GBR!!!

Umm... You forgot, B1G Pitcher of the week come Monday  and I forgot, congratulations to Mr. Sears. He earned that!!

I'm watching the Michigan/Iowa game. Iowa's arms are throwing mostly breaking balls. Honestly, I'm not sure I've seen a consecutive fastball/fastball thrown. Loads of sliders and curves. Ugh... hate off speed pitchers. Give me the heat baby!!
