Jaybird Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Huskers against our beloved Hawkeyes this weekend in Lincoln. Looks like the weather will be nice with forecast highs to be around 70. We got to get back to winning ways and a sweep would go a long ways. We really to make up for the debacle in Evanston! In addition it will be nice to beat Iowa in another sport! What do you have to say Husker nation? Quote Link to comment
Jaybird Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Below is a link to the Huskers.com overview for the series. It obviously shows start times and SP for the weekend! http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&ATCLID=205409160 Quote Link to comment
HuskerHacker Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I know your using "beloved" as sarcasm but.... the way you wrote it makes it appear as though you favor the hawks over our beloved sker's and like you, I too am hoping the brooms come out. I'll be there all three games. Quote Link to comment
Jaybird Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 There maybe that is better I fixed it! Yes we certainly could use a sweep of the Hawks. I was really expecting more out of the Northwestern weekend as all of us were. Just got to get back to playing our kind of baseball and get things rolling! Quote Link to comment
flatwaterfan Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Yah, the Northwestern series hurt our at-large resume big-time as we don't have any margin now. Got to put the pedal to the medal here. Switching up our weekend starters shows that they still have work to do with the pitching staff. I am happy with the way the team has played this year and there is an upward trend in general. It's just going to take some time in some cases plus the addition of more talent. Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I like the fact that they are trying Pierce as a starter on Saturday. CMON HUSKERS LETS GET A SWEEP! Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Got to put the pedal to the medal here. As the risk of sounding like Sylvester Stallone's character correcting Huxley in Demolition Man...it's Metal. You have to put the pedal to the metal. And yes, we have no room for error, but being reactionary and throttling our kids for every game is going to burn them out before the end of the season. Plus, let's be frank here--we're still dealing with mostly Anderson's recruits here. There's a ceiling as to how much Erstad can get out of these kids, especially when starting pitching appears to be flaky and inconsistent at best and our fielding competence takes one or more game vacations (see Northwestern). I still think a NCAA Tourney spot is in the cards for Nebraska and Purdue if they finish 1 and 2 in season and tourney. Otherwise, it looks like just Purdue. Quote Link to comment

There's nothing wrong with Anderson recruits. Quote Link to comment

Omaha-Husker Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Why didn't anyone mention it was on NET!? Quote Link to comment
HuskerFanChuck Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 For those with no other source to view/see/listen to the game, Huskers scored 1 each in bottom of 3rd and 4th. Iowa scores 4 in top of 5th, Huskers get one back in the bottom of the 5th. 2 away, one on third, top of the 6th. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFanChuck Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 So, for those counting, 4-3 Hawkeyes, top of the 6th. Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Farmer's fielding Yep. Iowa probably has nothing if he makes two routine plays. Quote Link to comment
