I know it's just "lip service" but Dave Van Horn had some nice things to say about Nebraska baseball today and sees us making a post-season run sooner than later.

 
He has patterned his coaching style after the great coaches in his past. I think he has what it takes to get Nebraska to a regional and beyond. He dreams big and knows what it will take to get there. Lead on Coach E!

Cool. Didn't see this, but if so, that's great.

Too bad we couldn't continue a three or four game series with Arkansas going forward. Lot of respect for what Van Horn did here in Lincoln and what he's doing in Arkansas.
