Anything less than a sweep is disappointment

Doesn't discount the veracity of the sentiment

A sweep would do wonders.

A sweep would do wonders.

 

A sweep will get us ranked. Probably #25-30, but ranked nevertheless.

 

And considering the RPI hit we're going to take on this series, anything less than a sweep will be detrimental to the cause.

im looking forward to it. I think we should def sweep. I dont know if a sweep will quite get us ranked though... depends on how teams 20 through 30 play this weekend. I havent seen anywhere that Nebraska is even on the "receiving votes" portion of any poll. I could see us starting to receive votes if we pull off a sweep. No doubt, though , if we reach the CTourny with 37 38 39 wins we will be ranked by then.. hopefully taking down an Indiana team in the championship to give the boys a shot at a 2 seed.

Really hope I can watch the game tonight at work.

tell ur boss to shove it.... you are watching the game

I didn't understand exactly why college baseball is a back page news? In my mind, college baseball is equal to college basketball.

 

Like MLB > NBA.
