formerfan Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 The guys on ESPN said that NC St was a potential darkhorse, a pretty good team. I'd love to see NU vs CU in the winners bracket on Saturday If NU makes it into the Super, a potential matchup would be Miami in Lincoln. Now that would be interesting, and a very tough draw for the Huskers. First things first, lets get the bats going, and hope that the arms shine as they have all year!!! Quote Link to comment
kramer Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Teams in the Lincoln regional: 1. Nebraska 2. North Carolina State 3. Creighton 4. Illinois Chicago You know we can talk all about a "national seed" but we need to win the regional first. We have one team "Creighton" that's certainly not afraid of us. I think the other two teams are going to be floored when they see the stadium and will be overwhelmed. I hope and pray NC St. can defeat Creighton because I don't want any part of them...

kramer Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 LJS: (baseball) Jensen doesn't jive with closer stereotype Each time Brett Jensen is summoned from the Nebraska bullpen to close out a home game for the Huskers, the lanky, 6-foot-7 right-handed junior takes the field to Alice Cooper's hard-edged headbanger, "Feed My Frankenstein." Jensen's choice, by the way, and that seems like no big deal. Just typical behavior from one of those left-of-center, psychotic relievers who need to turn up the chaos while getting ready to do their job. Thing is, Jensen is about as aw-shucks, small-town, central Iowa as they come. And beneath the loud rhythms of his entries lies a calmness that has allowed him to thrive as Nebraska's closer. Look at what he endured at the Big 12 Conference Tournament last week. Quote Link to comment
kramer Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 All games featuring either Creighton or NU will be televised on NETV....Yes baby Quote Link to comment
StuckinChicago Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Im not worried about Creighton, they better be scared of us. The only time they faced a weekend starter was againt Dorn before he moved up to the rotation, and he almost threw a no hitter. They dont scare me in the slightest. Im more worried about an unknown team that we havent seen all year. Our bats tend to shut down against good pitching that we havent seen. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Nebraska pitching staff that is ranked No. 2 in the nation with a staff ERA of 2.51. Two hours and counting Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Freshman right-hander Johnny Dorn (10-1, 1.86) and junior lefty Zach Kroenke (6-2, 2.68) will start games two and three for the Huskers, with junior southpaw Brian Duensing (7-0, 2.56) available for a fourth game or long relief appearance. North Carolina State relief pitcher Joey Devine (4-3, 2.25 ERA) was a teammate of Alex Gordon last summer on Team USA. Wolfpack Head Coach Elliot Avent was an assistant on the team. Does NC St. have the goods to shut down Gordan this week???????????? Quote Link to comment

Eric the Red Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 4-3 Huskers , Daniel Bruce screws the pooch and runs threw Mike Anderson's stop sign and gets pegged out at home. If he used his damn brain it would have been bases loaded with Gordan up Quote Link to comment
