  1. Yep, I actually expected this.. sitting here and watching our guys warm up.. They didn't come in to win a game. I think most would rather be home playing video games. Pathetic start on series win day. I think I'm a jinx as every time I'm at hay market it seems the team plays way below their potential. Buddy sitting beside me just told me he thinks maybe I should leave. lol Ugh!!!! Come on guys, no 6 run inning please
  2. Jaz is insane in the clutch.. Wow did she game the 4th... Congrats to the Lady Huskers!! Headed to the Championship game!!
  3. Huskers were punched in the mouth. They came in unfocused.. and frail. Christo showed again he can't pitch when the going gets tough. Huskers needed this wake up. Maybe tomorrow they'll actually show some fight. Time will tell. Contrats to South Bama coming in here and showing fearlessness.
  4. Even the announcers on BTN+ are wondering how a strike, an obvious strike, can be a ball.. smh!!
  5. I enjoy wrestling, was a state qualifier 3 of 4 years in high school. (best finish 5th @ 119) Wrestling however is not a profitable sport. Not even in Iowa is it a profitable sport. Baseball on the other hand can be "if" there was only a little effort put forth by the conference but they instead push a "fairness" agenda in spring saying there's just not enough viewers to promote every spring sport so instead of focusing on one (like they do in the fall & winter, football & basketball respectively). The promote a fairness schedule of sports that have a small number of viewers. I will credit the B1G for change as they did over the last two fall seasons program more volleyball which was fun to see. So change can happen. Baseball could and should be the primary spring sport and the rest of the programing sprinkled in. Midweek & weekends should have 2 games each day. So 2 on Tuesday & Wednesday (4 total), 2 on each of the weekend dates (6 total). Thats 10 conference games weekly. There is 8 weeks of conference play equating to 60 games that could be programmed. In those 8 weeks they could program the midweek schedules as well resulting in 32 midweek games. In total, before conference tournament play begins that would equate to 92 games... Guess what conference has made "that" commitment? Edit.. Remember also, some of those lost potential revenue games could be programmed by Fox Sports or even, dare I say it, the "P" word?
  6. Thanks @Mavric Going to be a cold one in Lincoln today. Personally, I'm hoping to get to lincoln for Sunday's game. Working Saturday so I can't make that one. Need a home sweep. Hope the men are focused and ready to roll. GBR!!!
  7. Hate to admit this but I think the whole of Husker nation is collectively holding their breath in waiting to see if Nebraska can earn the double-by at the B1G tourney. Bench is going to be huge in this game.. Wilcher, dude.. Hope you have your best game ever!!

      They pulled it off in spades! I love seeing Husker basketball relevant.

      @TonyStalloni As do I and everyone on Huskerboard. Was so relieved though when the score was out of reach for Michigan. 

  8. Huskers.com announces the 2024 televised husker baseball schedule: "The Nebraska baseball team will play on TV eight times this season, including four national television broadcasts.The Huskers will appear on the Big Ten Network four times during the regular season, with televised games against Rutgers (April 14), Iowa (April 27) and Indiana (May 11 and 12).In addition to the four BTN appearances, Nebraska Public Media will televise four additional games: Ohio State (April 6), Creighton (April 16), Maryland (April 20) and Indiana (May 10).All remaining home games and conference games that are not televised will be streamed with a B1G+ subscription. Every game throughout the season will air on the Huskers Radio Network and can be heard on Huskers.com and the Huskers app."
  9. Swanson for Purdue (off the bench) was shooting lights out. We need Wilcher to do that tomorrow and all tourney long for the men. Might also solidify the 6th man award as well.
  10. Huskers advance but it wasn't pretty. Hard fought win!! Congrats to the lady Huskers!! GBR
  11. @ECisGod Oh.. believe me, I agree with "everything" you said. I was simply posting that Bruntz kind of hinted to "not be surprised" if the award goes to Painter.
  12. Mr. Bruntz on 1620 kind of hinted that he's speculating that Purdue's Painter will be awarded coach of the year honors. That would be a huge crime considering his program lost to Fred & company in the only head to head.
  13. I think everyone would rather watch a live event over a replay event. Keep the replay events on the btn+ and see how many people will actually pay to watch it. They know full well the answer is zero (or close to zero) and so, for profits sake, put the live event on btn+ with mostly s#!t camera work and often atrocious play by play. I'd actually subscribe to btn+ if they used a little professionalism and showed they are investing in the experience but instead they simply pay the dividends to the investor while holding a huge "FU" & "TY" simultaneously. The B1G simply refuses to enhance the viewing experience on BTN+ (more like BTN Sucks). The only male sports they've invested in is football and only slightly in basketball. Though at least in basketball they spread the conference games out so each is televised. So yeah.. they've invested in basketball.
  14. In comparison to/with the SEC Network and ESPN platform: B1G Ten 16 regular season games televised per the schedule.. additionally, there is 8 wildcard games (unscheduled) and then the B1G tourney. Total max games of 38.. The SEC/ESPN however is actually investing in Baseball as indicated by the number of televised games. (Link) Article Headline Reads: "SEC baseball 2024 TV schedule: 94 games to be televised on ESPN networks" So, what excuse(s) exist within the B1G and Fox Sports regarding their lack of interest in promoting B1G baseball?
  15. Per Big Ten Conference website (Link) List of Nebraska's Games: 4.14 at Rutgers 4.27 Iowa 5.11 Indiana 5.12 Indiana
  16. Sorry for the odd way of posting a question: (Huskerboard wouldn't let me copy the question part and post in plain text) Question is in "Red Text" of the image..
  17. lol, some teams make me scratch my head. Like today and Notre Dame throwing its Friday starter for the first 3 innings (50 TP, 12 batters faced). Why when your weekend opponent is a conference game and is playing very competitive baseball against very respectable competition? Grant it, they are facing a B1G team (Purdue) that will likely have a reasonably good RPI at years end but they're home, with a 3 set conference match this weekend. Surprises me..
  18. Michigan beat Wisconsin at home and this is their senior night. Nebraska will get Michigan's best in this game. Hope they have their big boy pants on. I expect this to be an old school physical game and we all know how the B1G refs protect the home court. Husker 3's will be needed to win this game.
  19. South Alabama is currently 10-2, seemingly (though mostly lower level competition) a good pitching group. Offensively, they manufacture runs old school. Overall they're team OBP is very respectable at .426 while allowing only opponent OB% at .315.. 24 stolen bases in 35 attempts (again old school gaming) is very respectable. Only 8 dingers on the year. Weather projected to be cooler this weekend Friday 49° with 40% showers, Sat 51° (expecting a doubleheader here) and Sunday 59°... I expect this weekend series to be pitchers duels in game 1 & 2, the Sunday game might be different however South Alabama isn't giving up runs on Sunday either.. We need another sweep here. Then a 2 game midweek series with Wichita State where at worst we need a split. If we do that, head into the final weekend of non-conference with a 11 - 4 (at worst) record I will be elated!!
  20. That was a fun, hard fought, never a doubt game... Hope all our Sunday games are as entertaining. Congrats on the sweep!!! GBR!!!
  21. These 150+ pitch games is happening far too often in college ball (Nebraska threw 148, CofC threw 156) and it's not just a few games. I don't know if it's umps with shoebox zones or umps that simply can't keep a consistent zone but it's become a huge issue. Teams pitching staffs by mid season are going to suffer. I noticed 3 years ago, it was bad last year and this year it seems like well over half the games I look at are throwing 135+... As for this game, we won in the 9th again. Lot of people will say we won ugly. I won't.. I think 9th inning wins are more common with how games are being called at the plate. Also, you have to push runners across home to win so to me, winning is winning. Good win against and underrated opponent that prior to this weekend was unbeaten. We took the series now it's time to sweep it. Congrats Huskers & GBR!!!
  22. Hmm... can you say "Running Scared"
  23. Per Huskers.com, game canceled today due to weather. Glad we played (and won) yesterday.
  24. I'm kicking myself right now as I wasn't able to listen to the game or watch live scoring. Sounds like it was a heck of a 9th for the good guys. Games like this are huge for a teams confidence as well. Hopefully it continues through the weekend. Would love to see the Huskers come home with 3 in win column again. That said, I didn't get to listen, is Charleston's pitching as good as it must have appeared or were the bats just not working today? Guys swinging at balls or early count popups?
