This could be an interesting season. Hopefully entertaining for both of our schools.

wow... Hopefully we both finish above what the coaches voted!

I hope so too. Mu is trying to make the tourney for the 8th straight season, but they had a pretty large turnover on their roster. 3 straight pitchers going in the first round over the last 3 years doesnt help them either.

 

From what I have heard/seen Nebraska is expecting a nice turn around from last year.

 

I am interested to see what happens with KU and some of the other teams that are bunched in the Middle. I would not be surprised to see both MU and NE higher at seasons end.

KU may struggle out of the gate because star 3rd baseman Tony Thompson will be out 4-6 weeks with i think some sort of leg injury (don't remember for sure).. UT returns a ton, preseason #1, obvious favorite for the conference and probably will win it barring major upset. It'll be a good gauge to see where we are at the 1st week of conference play to have them.

I'm ok finishing 9th as long as Mizzou finishes 10th

 

In all seriousness, we aren't picked to do much (and maybe its because i'm a homer ) but I think we will suprise some people

 

Go Big Red Baseball!!

MU has been picked this low only once in the past 8 years, that year they finished 2nd. I am hoping for a repeat performance.

I just want to see a packed Haymarket Park rocking after the Huskers destroy the Kansas Jayhawks in April!
