Quoting the bold, you weren't alone here... Relatively sure most of us thought the same. Like most nationally, we snubbed our nose at B1G baseball and well... we learned the truth very quickly.

Just keep winning the series. Sweeps are incredibly hard to get so win the series and move on.. GBR!!!

was the game attendance announced? Hoping it was as full as allowed. edit: answered my own question... per stats summary: Attendance:1647

Yes, Defense carries us to 7 or 8 wins

Here's what I don't get. For all his ills, why was Bo able to recruit the talent to at least keep us respectable and bowl eligible and Riley/Frost haven't even been close? In my mind I'd think I'd be more inclined to play for either Riley or Frost.. I just don't get why Frost is struggling to recruit offensive talent.

Last week's performance wasn't forgotten by the B1G, congrats to Cam Cam selected as B1G player of the week

I'm taking this as Good News for Husker Baseball yes but also Great News for the Husker Spring Game too. Fingers Crossed

Rather easy to understand the reasons.. really it boils down to one agenda.. Those allowing locally recommended restrictions are predominantly red states while those restricting attendance are predominantly blue states. Personally, I'm fine with either decision provided the athletes and staffs remain safe and healthy. Better safe than sorry right?

5 - 1 in a mediocre conference. 10 years in said conference and zero conference tournament championships In those 10 years of B1G play we've achieved this: Postseason play: (4 times) 2014 2 1–2 Regional 2016 3 0–2 Regional 2017 2 0–2 Regional 2019 3 1–2 Regional Call it what you want but in my opinion when you haven't won a conference baseball tournament and have reached postseason play in only 4 of the 10 years that you've been in said conference you are at best mediocre!! Our men's programs, out side of wrestling, have been and remain nothing more than mediocre at best.

To be rather frank... our entire mens athletic department is a joke.. football, basketball, even baseball... considering the money the uni has put into that program... name a mens sport where we are above average? Wrestling & one can argue Baseball... still, we're at best middle of the road in those to programs.. Football can't achieve postseason play, basketball is beyond belief bad... Wrestling.. we're highly competitive in that. Doesn't bring much money into the program though... In honesty, I continue being a Husker fan with zero expectations.. I'm certain I will never again see this program compete for any real title now or in the near future. I love baseball but like always, we the fans will likely have to hold our breath in every game. (Though they look surprisingly decent this year. Strikeouts remains alarming.) So... I watch when I can, I share in conversations, I will always root for victory but I've of late preferred to read about the event the following day so I don't get my BP overly high when the inevitable happens.

If Held is hired.. (If is the key).. I wonder "if" Ameer might consider coaching? He is after all from the southeast (Alabama) so likely has name recognition in what is seemingly becoming a hotbed of talent for us. Also, he's a husker... meaning its something he takes pride in and his love for the program would likely immerse itself within his players too. Besides, when you listen to him speak, he sounds like a coach. Highly accomplished, Highly skilled, driven, motivated and very articulate. Makes me wonder... could he? would he?

I think the B1G is playing these games as an in-conference tourney.. So games are played away from minny's home field.

Only 3 innings out of the starter.. need the relief to work another 3 or 4..

Acker with the 2 run swing... Well done Joe!! Well done!

Is BTN+ a solo subscription or is it part of the BTN group meaning, if you have BTN you also have BTN+???? edit: NVM... think i answered my own question with a simple search. Seems BTN+ requires an additional monthly subscription thereby is not included in your cable providers package even if the provider provides BTN. Link: https://www.btnplus.com/packages?type=0

Not sure BTN is all that interested in baseball. We know the B1G isn't so what would make us think their network is? Sad, really really sad!!! edit: looking at the bigten schedule it shows the iowa series on BTN+ (interestingly, it appears Nebraska and Maryland [links shown in the schedules] are the only 2 schools that broadcast the games on the radio. Hmm... that says something, yes?)

Admittedly, I'm over-hyped for this season. I like our chances to finally control our post season chances from the start. I think this team is hungry! (at least I hope it is.)

UNO with a .500 record after playing Oklahoma & Missouri... Win the next 2 series (against Creighton & Kansas) and watch out... That team might make some noise in it's conference. Fun times

I was referring to all of NCAA not just the B1G.. Per Google: Feb 19, 2021 Opening Day for the 2021 college baseball season is scheduled for Feb. 19—now little more than two months away. Those two months simultaneously can feel like a blink of an eye or an eternity, but the time will steadily tick away.

So.. how many games this weekend will be postponed/canceled because of the arctic deep freeze thats hit the south? Might not be many games this weekend.

Replying to the bold text... I'd say, you have honest critical opinion BS. In other words, arm chair quarterbacking on young men trying everything they can to be relative and useful to a team being coached by highly capable and much more knowledgeable than any one here that's stating their "critical opinion". To constantly post negatives and then discuss those negatives as if there's real factual knowledge is well... Rather Narcissistic, yes? I'd much prefer to trust in those actually hired to make the critical decisions and behind closed doors have the honest critical discussions. (edit) these blowhard threads with 20 pages of criticism is more than enough to dishearten anyone that might become a fan. in your "critical discretionary view, explain to me how any of what is said here is or will affect anything the coaches do? Critical Discussions!!! Not that makes me laugh.

The way you've been pushing the SEC lately I'd say you're not a fan of Nebraska at all. In your heart, is there an SEC team that Nebraska is above? Seems to me you are here only to push your negative views of the B1G and more so, Dear Old NU... Just saying!! (edit: and yes, i know you've been around longer than me, have had many positive posts but of late.. seems only negative)

I'll believe it when they actually throw a first pitch.. Knowing the B1G's position on spring sports.. I can see them changing their schedules multiple times.

You are a prototypical arm chair quarterback. Also likely a fan that knows more then any coach. It's your way or the highway right? How many D1 teams have you coached or maybe a more reasonable question is, how many D1 players have you coached? My guess is none. My guess is that you're bloviating is a result of well.. a lack of substance within the actual game itself. Reality is, Madden games aren't real life and don't make you a coach.
