  1. @nic I found the tweet because I click on the original. The comments on the one I posted though were hilarious to me so I thought I'd let others enjoy the read too.
  2. This is a fun POST regarding Texas A&M moving to the B1G.. The comments made me chuckle and one really made me chuckle.
  3. He's a freshman with a 3.0 era... I like that Personally, my pitcher of the weekend vote would go to Drew Christo.. (I know you didn't say Jalen was the pitcher of the week) My personal opinion (worth less than a bag of peanuts) is GCU managed to rattle us yesterday and today. That can't happen again so it might be a good thing they did. I think winning 3 at their complex says something. Indiana and Nebraska have played solid competition and have won. Penn State looks good with what they did to Stanford but I also think Stanford is down. They play a 4 game series against davidson next week followed by a midweek game against virginia so we'll know soon enough how good Penn State is. The B1G is lacking in pitching. Might be early arm syndrome but the pitching is way down. Gotta say my 4 best in B1G: Indiana 1 (they look like a host team right now) Nebraska 2 (had the Huskers won one of the tech/OU games they too would look like a host team after winning 3 this weekend) Penn State 3 Purdue 4 (Rutgers is interchangeable with them)
  4. At the start of the season, several posters agreed that "if" the arms were as good as advertised/showed in the fall that Nebraska could be much better this year. That said, the B1G overall isn't showing much of the same improvement as exemplified by yesterday's finals. (6-7 on Friday night won't cut it) Right now, if the weekend continues as it has I'd imagine that Indiana & Nebraska will be the new favorites over Iowa/Maryland/Rutgers. Gotta keep winning though. Need this game today. GBR!!
  5. @ZRodYou obviously aren't a believer and so you freely give your opinion. Me, I am a believer and find everything you said very offensive. To begin with you slander only Christianity and ignore the other faiths.. I call that (not you ZRod, rather the commonly intentional singling out Christianity) a cowardly statement/mistake/fear of offending other religions. Secondly, you don't differentiate between the difference in "faith" and "religion". I know it's a common perception/mistake/lack of understanding in the "non-believers" mind/dialog but they are actually very opposite. Religion is filled with doctrine of which much of that doctrine is "judgemental" and in that causes much of the sentiment you ( @ZRod) posted. Yeshua Hamashiach (Jesus, The Christ) confronted religion twice and in both he crushed the concept. Religion's purpose, as Matthew 23 reveals, is to put a wall up between you and God thereby closing the gates of heaven down. One other reality that people misunderstand about Christ's teaching. Christ did not stand against the Romans and Roman Authority, nor did he stand against the Hebrew people or the non-believers (called Goyim). Rather he confronted the authority that used law to create difference and indifference. The reality of law is judgement. The question is, on who and how or more appropriately whom will it be applied too. Yeshua (Jesus) taught (Matthew 7) That judge and be judged. Still, it's not far reaching to wonder how many will read my post and not actually research it. As for the law, it is clearly stated in Galatians 2:16-22 and thru my faith in the Blood Sacrifice of The Lamb (Christ Jesus) let me close by saying this. Jesus preached the only way to the Father is thru the Son. Christians around the world, myself included, know God's voice. The law is judgement and judgement is condemnation and if you want to truly understand my post and how it's being applied at this moment in time do some research and look into a law "HJ RES 102.14 "Education Day USA" (educating us in "their" law) entered into our lands on March 20, 1991 (in a secret vote, after sending congress home for the spring holiday they ratified this law).
  6. Impressive outing for Christo. Timmerman might be finding a season long position, got the last 4 outs and didn't give up a hit. In all... very impressive outing.
  7. It would be really exciting for me if Nebraska could get into a 4 year cycle of playing the same 2 "High Level/Caliber" out of conference opponents. (ex: Home/Home with GCU this year and next 2024/2025. In 2026/27 do a Home/Home series with a team like Charlette (or other historically strong G5) and rotate these opponents every two years. Selfish reason I'd like to see this is regional play. These two opponents have both hosted regionals in the past 4 years. If Nebraska wants to solidify it's hosting position then the Huskers need to play a schedule where they are positioning favorably with the ncaa regionals committee. Yes, arguably, with the addition of USC/UCLA/Washington/Oregon that is probably enough competition however... if the Huskers play a home/home with a high end G5 team and win the series... makes it hard for the committee to grant the host regional to the loser if both teams are in consideration. (at least I imagine it so)
  8. Here's the weekend schedule from Huskers.com
  9. @Xmas32 - GCU might be the best team we face this year. They don't lose at home very often and if Nebraska's arms aren't top notch GCU will put up huge numbers. Very surprising that Bolt and company schedule a 4 game series against GCU. Splitting this series is a win imo.
  10. Christo.. now that's a pleasant surprise.
  11. Did they somehow figure out how to "force" Notre Dame into a conference and if so, which one? Might Notre Dame give the middle to both the B1G & SEC and join the Big 12? Doing so (the middle finger) would be a huge boost to either the Big 12 or ACC. Likely "not" happening but still.... fireworks baby! FIREWORKS!!!
  12. @teachercd I really like the non-conference scheduling thru 2029.. I think it positions the Huskers for post season if they do their part by winning. It doesn't ever make sense to overschedule and remove your chances at post season play. The 2028 schedule will be Rhule's 6th season, really liking our schedule.. "If" the Huskers can get back to championship caliber play, what ever that is, (ie.. running power, pro-set, read option etc...) 2028 could & should be a year of anticipation around these parts.
  13. Make fun of the SEC all you want (I'm sooo guilty of ridiculing the SEC) but below is Tennessee's 2024 schedule.. Tell me you'd like this over Nebraska's current 2024 schedule:
  14. Here's the 2025 thru 2029 Schedule. Note: 2 neutral site games with Cinncy and 1 Road game with Tennessee. Doubt there will be any effort to change the schedule from it's current. 1 Power 5 road team and 2 neutral site games with Cincinnati doesn't seem like "over scheduling" to me while also putting together some interesting lesser games. Ohio, North Dakota, Northern Illinois, South Dakota State, Arizona are all games that we can't overlook and would be awesome venue games to attend.
  15. In all, I'd say it was a good weekend. We knew going in we didn't have a developed and proven closer. The offense will need to carry this team again this year. It's frustrating that Bolt seems to struggle finding closer arms. Why could Erstad/Silva find them but Bolt/Childress can't is a head scratcher to me. Maybe it's not as bad as we think either. First weekend is always a dogfight. This weekend will reveal a lot more of what we can expect to see this year.
  16. Big Saturday for Husker Sports.. Should be fun!! Penn State/Purdue/Texas Tech/Montana & Sacramento State 

    Hoping for 5 W's and a whole lot of smiles!! GBR

  17. Totally agree with everything here... I'm also every bit as optimistic about today as you. Feels so freaking good to be 1 and 0 baby!! Hoping to be 2 and 0 after tomorrow but Tech is a whole different monster.
  18. I'm not sure I'd say that.. Timmerman came in and gave up the run. That can't happen on a consistent occurrence. Sure, call it freshman jitters but if he's going to solidify his position he can't give up runs. He came in with one down and a runner on 1st and gives up a double down the line allowing Baylor to tie the game. Perry and Daiss both pitched 1 inning each and both gave up a hit resulting in added pitches to arms.. Late inning pitchers are expected to throw 1, 2, 3 innings and turn it over to the next. Giving up hits often come back and bite you. Happy it didn't today but to say the guys were "fantastic" is stretching it but yes, I agree, the team pitching looked solid enough to be joyously hopeful.
  19. What I liked most was the total pitches thrown.. Nebraska batters were going deep into the pitch counts resulting in Baylor's TP at 151 while Nebraska's Total Pitches 117. Keep doing that and they'll have more wins.. Great Effort throughout... Fun game to listen to also. Well Done Huskers!! GBR
  20. Top of 6, no score Both Starters still slinging it.. Pitch Count Sears at 65, Marriott at 66 (Marriott hitting mid 90's at 75+ TP) top of 6 (2 outs) (runner on 2nd) Pitching change: Marriott's numbers 5 2/3 (10K's) (1 Hit) 82 TP Carey Doubles on 2-2 count, Scoring runner (Brumbaugh) on 2nd (1-0 Huskers) (Marriott responsible for the run) Bottom of 6th: Sears still in. TP count 65 (need Sears to get us thru this inning)
  21. Pitchers dual for sure so far. End of 4 both pitchers sitting on identical pitch counts (TP 56) I'm ok with this as it's a big ball park and first game jitters...
  22. It's time for some BASEBALL BABY!!! The game was tied in the bottom of nine A runner on third and two out In the dead still air a mosquito's whine Was all you could hear, then came a shout "Do something Ben, murder the ball, For crying out loud get a hit." Ben strode to the plate to answer the call The now restless fans knew this would be it He dug in his right foot then positioned his left And tapped the plate twice with his long wooden bat Then he pulled it back slowly as to measure its heft And tensed his whole frame as he stood like a cat The pitcher glared in, the Ump hunkered down Then the ball on its way thru the air like a shot Ben pulled the trigger, his body unwound And the ball hit the bat with the sound of a "Thock" This is the sum that the game's all about This instant is not just a moment or dream The split second physics, a hit and a roar or the swing and an out? Each player, Each coach and every fan poised to let out a scream by John W. Knight
  23. Wisconsin @ 6.5 (seems low to me)
  24. Bolt interview by D1 Baseball before the opening weekend. Coach speaks about our pitching from the start. Good Listen Bolt Speak
  25. Funny Story, Tulsi Gabbard ran on the Democratic Ticket as a Presidential Nomination Also, Mike Pence and other Republicans weren't the acting Secretary Of State (a position that has the highest security clearance in all of Government, yes higher than the president) Funny how all partys dodge truth for the purpose of party positioning. Republicans stand against abortion but are pro capital punishment. Dems are pro abortion but anti capital punishment. Both result in death of an individual and that's factual. I'm anti-abortion and anti-capital punishment. Those two agenda's are reasons I am independent. (Can't Server 2 masters)
