There seems to be enough quality depth at RB and especially WR, I don't think Martinez needs to run the ball that much.

I like that these uniforms are named after sh*tty steak sauce, though I can't articulate why.

I momember (??) 2002, same thing. I was shocked the media didn't think Nebraska would be very good that year and was ready to fire off a series of "Oh YEAH?" type emails, then the season came and went, half the coaching staff retired or was canned, and I learned a valuable lesson in objectivity But I feel pretty good about the long-term prospects under Frost, to be sure.

The '99 scenario depends. If Nebraska beats Texas in the regular season, I believe A&M wins the south and Nebraska has to beat them twice instead of the horns, which, eh, not impossible, I don't think.

I voted for 2012 Wisconsin CCG because that's probably right. I feel like 2014 Minnesota, while not the worst, deserves some mention. Going up 21-7 and then just laying a big ol' turd on the field in the second half against a team that while not super-fast or talented was just so much better in the coaching department That was when I was officially cool with firing Bo.

I don't know what the approach even is at this point. They're terribly inconsistent at small-ball, make the weirdest baserunning decisions, strike out a ton, then score 22 runs in a game to make people think they're capable, every other game was just a matter of "bad luck"/"thaaaaaaat's baseball for ya"

Not gonna solve the problem with offense. Nebraska has shown they can only "clutch hit" when they're down 8+ runs most of this season. Erstad has proven little or nothing as hitting coach in 5 years (counting 2011) and needed to take himself out of that position. I would have hardly considered that the "easy" way out.

Gary Sharp was making the points as well. Seeing as he has been around for a few decades and called Nebraska baseball for a few years (before Jim Rose started getting people fired for some reason), I think he has some access to info.

I'll toss a vote to Clemson in the Gator Bowl. It wasn't peak Clemson yet, but it was a good win in a transition year.

The sad part is people are willing to overlook Erstad's recruiting failures within the state of Nebraska. They'll blame the Big 10 ("nobody wants to play in that league") when the word on the street is no effort is being made to contact some very talented players in NE :|

Given Erstad's postseason record since Will Bolt. . .bolted (1-6 in Big 10 tournaments, 0-4 in regionals), they ARE playing like every game is the postseason this year Oh wait

Aaaand just like that Jaxon Hallmark gives Nebraska the lead. Maryland's definitely not good.

Nice effort for the team to climb back in this one, but still trail by a run :/

Nebraska beat 8th-place Purdue in the first game of last year's B1G tournament, so they had THAT goin' for 'em. Never mind Purdue jumped out to a pretty big lead in that game somehow. It'd be one thing if Nebraska were just losing games, but watching a senior second baseman spike a baseball into the dirt on what should have been a routine throw to home plate last night to open the flood gates typified this season. They're bad at baseball.

I think that in every game since Will Bolt left, you can count the number of runs Nebraska has scored with the bases loaded and less than 2 outs on one hand Maybe an exaggeration, but somebody on a different board posted some of Nebraska's offensive rankings nationally since 2015 when Erstad resumed hitting coach duties, and the drop-off has been UGLY, and not getting any better.

Has anyone mentioned the team should not be this big of a pile of flaming garbage in year 7 yet?

This sounds like a MIDI file someone made so I don't know if they could get a version a little closer to the album sans lyrics. . .might work.

8-4 Rutgers. Another series loss.

Huskers win 12-4, and Schreiber didn't even get a hit as far as I know

I think it would have been funnier if the host had been Andy Kendeigh instead, because that guy looks more like Kendeigh than he does Kevin Kugler. Easy rewrite, just say Kevin can't host because he's out calling a jai alai tournament in Nicaragua for Westwood One or something similarly stupid. And Kendeigh fills in as host for Kugler so I'm not just pulling that out of my butt. The guy playing Blake Lawrence did a pretty good vocal imitation and Sean Callahan, that's funny. I give 2.75 mehs out of 4.

Mercifully he's not on the broadcasts anymore, this was on his morning radio show on KFAB, like, a week ago or something (I forget). But even the current play-by-play team (Greg Sharpe and Ben McLaughlin) were talking about how the team looked like they didn't care at all last night for most of the game.

Jim Rose is saying Erstad doesn't know how to teach at this level, and he's one of the biggest homers to ever disgrace the airwaves. You know it's bad.

Hagge watches two straight hitters get walked and hacks away at the first pitch. Meh.

Nate Swift was a better punt returner.
