  1. Looks like the same person who is in charge of the website also must be the scheduling guy and seems like he may be from Indiana. Its so bad, you just have to laugh. Indiana plays 22 home games Nebraska plays 16 home games Indiana this weekend plays 4 games in 4 days- 24 hours apart Nebraska played 3 games in 24 hours Nebraska pitched #1- Indiana #1 Nebraska #2- OSU #1 Nebraska #3 - Indiana #2 Nebraska #4- OSU #3 Is it possible to stack the deck any more than it's already been stacked? Thumb is so heavy on the scales.
  2. Yet another embarrassing mistake on the Baseball web site and giving Michigan an extra win that doesnt exist. I guess the unpaid middle school web guy doesnt have an adult checking his work. This is the OFFICIAL BIG web site- what a joke. Looks like Michigan had 4 games scheduled on 5/1 played 3 of them and won 2 by the same odd 18-8 score. Yeah right 5/1/2021 at Illinois Urbana-Champaign, IL W 18-8 5/1/2021 at Northwestern Evanston, Ill. Canceled 5/1/2021 vs. Illinois Evanston, Ill. L 4-5 (7 inn.) 5/1/2021 at Illinois Urbana-Champaign, IL W 18-8
  3. Huskers show so much perseverance. Getting 2 hit and our starter and first reliever gets bombed. Kept after it and stuck the dagger in OSU when they had the chance. Bolt has these guys on the move.
  4. Just another example of the ineptness of the RICHEST college football conference in the planet that thinks their s#!t doesnt stink- is mighty in word and shallow in deeds. Incompetent bumblers every step of the way- do they really believe their own bulls--t narrative?
  5. Yeah, the baseball part of the BIG site has been off a good number of times this season. Im guessing the BTN announcers have their own schedules and standings totals so they can talk intelligently about the Title race- since both Indiana and Michigans records are screwed up. Watched game with my brother last night. He plays beer league baseball, said after every game, they go for beers and when he gets home the games have already been updated on their league site. It seems ridiculous a volunteer for a beer league baseball site runs better and more accurate web site than the RICHEST college sports league in the planet. LOL Lets hope since the middle school volunteer web site kid responsible for the BIGs site is now out of school for the summer so he can get the mess he created all sorted out. What a joke.
  6. Im a foodie and adventurer. Ive only been to Europe 3 times- so when I go, like to be very close to various cultures within driving distance- day adventures type thing.
  7. Does anyone here have Kevin Warrens phone number? Its Friday and Tuesdays supposed results have yet to be posted- or schedules updated. Or maybe Kevin and his super efficient staff arent aware a game was played- or maybe the Illinois- Indiana game is a big hoax and never happened. Maybe the volunteer kid who updates the web site is out of school and doesnt have too many chores to do tomorrow so he has the time to update the scores- wins- losses etc Might be "nice" if the people who vote in the College Baseball polls might have accurate won and loss totals. Just more evidence that the BIG cares nothing about baseball.
  8. If youre Irish more power to you. For the kids, some might view it as a great benefit, others a long distance distraction. When I travel to Europe, I dont limit myself to one place and if I did, it wouldnt be Ireland- no offense- many better locations over there to choose from.
  9. Washington was a longshot at best- worth the gamble? IDK He transferred a bunch in HS and had issues at every stop= not a good sign. The revenge porn thing- you can get past that if you look at the details of what really happened and if viewed in isolation. A close friend works with him at UPS in Lincoln. He said Mo has ZERO interest in playing football ever again. Asked why not try to play for his old coach Deon Sanders at Jackson State- he said "no f---ing way" he would ever play for that guy and just not interested in playing football. Have no clue why he dislikes his former coach so much. But that ship has sailed, kid has some issues.
  10. Just trying to show what a Joke- incompetent this conference is by being sarcastic. There is a silver lining though. It gives many hope to see someone so incompetent like Kevin Warren make so much money.
  11. Has merit. However most of the teams in the South, West, Southeast, MidAtlantic probably arent very interested in "parity". Giving up their home field and recruiting advantages over the northern teams- that have zero power probably isnt going to happen in any of our lifetimes. I travel extensively and its shocking how popular baseball is for youth- HS- pros in Northern States. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/prominent-coaches-debut-plan-for-a-new-model-for-college-baseball/
  12. Its Thursday and the hamster wheel powered BIG website which l guess is manned by a volunteer who is too busy working on his gardening, video gaming and garage sale prep tasks to update the site, scores, standings from Tuesdays game. A JV league - not just in football. Laughable. No big deal though- its only the last 2 weekends, 4 teams in the thick of things and its only the 3rd biggest sport in college athletics. Maybe someone should call Mr Warren and let him know Indiana- Illinois played and what the score was. Who knows, it could impact who is declared champions- since Indiana is- was- maybe still is in second place. Or maybe just award the championship to Wisconsin since they have no losses.
  13. Like Ive been saying all along Maryland is 14-2 the last 16 games, they arent going to be swept by either Michigan or Indiana.
  14. Kevin Warren didnt get the job because he's maximizing revenues for the league. He has failed miserably in that regard. He wasnt a merit hire- just a stepping stone formality for him being the next top guy in the super woke NFL. Baseball seems to do very well in places like Chicago, Milwaukee, Cincy, Cleveland, Boston, New York, Detroit etc Michigan played for the title the last time the College World Series was played. Of course its a bit more difficult being from the cold, however it is the 3rd biggest sport- it shouldn't be treated like bowling and field hockey. Not having the schedules up or standings current on the net is bush league incompetence from a league that makes hundreds of millions. Yes football is the driver AND Mr Warren screwed that up royally too. Nebraska draws pretty well- maybe those other schools need to invest and promote it a bit and be like us.
  15. Yesterday you had Michigan winning 3, what made you change your mind?
  16. Im not so sure. His recruiting classes werent great at Wisconsin or Arkansas. Arkansas is SEC so he might get a little leeway there. He did great at Wisconsin- but how much of that was Barry/Wisconsin/Chryst? And Illinois is Illinois- they are in a soft division but do they have the fan base- support and recruiting to make it work? All looks pretty iffy, no clear answer, doubtful but possible.
  17. That is good news. Separation has happened. Ervin and Scott look capable and so does #0. The kid from USC is still a mystery but may be able to contribute. Morrison might end up being a contributor too. Tompkins was a gamble from the start and has never been consistently healthy. With some quality in front of him #22 in particular, he wasnt going to see the field. Johnson is too small and cant break even arm tackles- his speed is good but not enough wiggle and not great speed enough to compensate for his lack of size and physicality. He needs to transfer find a sunbelt team to get on the field with. Best of luck to them both and good for NU to open up roster spots for contributors.
  18. During football and basketball all the games were posted on day of game. In baseball they dont even have the schedules correct. Indiana played Illinois on TUESDAY. Both teams had to know at LEAST by SUNDAY that they were going to play. Its WEDNESDAY and neither teams schedule showed them playing. Or maybe Illinois and Indiana just decided they were going to play, asked Uncle Albert and Cousin Jimmy along with some lady from the stands to ump the games and called it a day. Again a league with hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue and a leader making millions- cant afford a full time competent web guy- I get it. We have the same issues with my sons tball league. One would think that someone as inept as a leader as Kevin Warren is, would at least have the outward simple things like having the correct schedules out and scores- standings posted correctly. I guess not- hes inept at everything it seems. Baseball isnt bowling or tidlywinks- it matters and the BIG doesnt care a lick about it. Even though one of our teams played for the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP the last time it was played LOL.
  19. Meanwhile not only is the ACC having their tournament. They are doing it at FULL CAPACITY. Will Bolt bless his heart. How in the world do we hang on to him when he has to compete with both hands tied behind his back. https://dailyprogress.com/sports/uva-sports-notebook-acc-baseball-tournament-to-operate-at-full-capacity/article_95c619aa-b817-11eb-9bb7-c7113d6f61db.html
  20. Sad but true, for most places what is the Number 3 sport and important to many in the BIG it's relegated to the mound of minor sports like tennis, cross country or bowling. Evidence? No tournament, No updated Schedules or even current and accurate standings on the web site. Basketball had a tournament indoors, close and personal. Baseball last I looked is played outside. Tournament in a place like Omaha, which is cold for COVID and home to the College World Series- naw Kevin Warren said pass. Web site updates. Well I guess the BIG web site must be run by someone related to my sons Tball league voluntary admin person. We are very patient with him because he doesnt get paid to do it and has another full time job. The BIG site often times does NOT have up to date standings and scores and even has been wrong on a number of occasions. Yesterday second place Indiana played Illinois and lost. Neither teams schedule even had the game listed and the standings havent been updated yet. So Im wondering if this is "fake news", if the game was really played and if it really counts. This could be one giant hoax. I mean nothing important here- down to the last 7 games and 4 teams still have a shot at winning in a very tight race. Im sure whoever the volunteer running the BIG web site- maybe Kevin Warrens cousin in laws next door neighbor has been too busy this week to update the site. I mean we are deep into other sports season and Im sure hes busy with stuff of his own like putting in his garden and getting ready for an upcoming garage sale. I mean it isnt like the BIG makes hundreds of millions of dollars every year and the head honcho makes millions- right? I mean they couldnt possibly afford a full time web guy right? What a joke https://admin.bigten.org/schedule.aspx?schedule=535 https://admin.bigten.org/standings.aspx?path=baseball Out of conference games against teams in your home town, home games or even 60-100 miles away. Nope, pass but lets travel 1000 miles to COVID hot spots, fly and stay in hotels. No big deal- it just cost theh BIG teams competing in baseball AND softball ANY chance at hosting a regional- which Im guessing they didnt understand is a HUGE advantage. Someone needs to educate them on these basics it seems.
  21. The BIG site didnt even show Indiana playing Illinois today. I wonder who we need to call to make sure they have the standings right LOL Ive seen T ball leagues run more professionally than this nonsense Kevin Warren is in charge of https://admin.bigten.org/schedule.aspx?schedule=535
  22. Not sure how the team that is in second place losing somehow hurts us All 3 of Indiana's starters are good
  23. The difference many of the Class A teams have Frosh- JV- Varsity teams- way more players than 8- man teams which may be just 14-24 kids for their entire program etc. Also Class A communities have all the select teams, speed camps/training and just better competition. Takes a real special player from 8 man to play BIG football. Love watching it though.
  24. Iowa has already lost 5 games so far during this stretch. With 6 more to play- which means they will most likely double up your worst case scenario of 3 losses. What happened?
  25. True- but hes also striking out about 1.5 batters per inning. Indiana likes to swing the bats- lots of K's so OSU definitely has a chance there.
