Huskers will host the super regional. I'll post ticket info when I get it. If someone else gets it, post it.

BTW, I would like to see Miami come to Lincoln.

Steven M. Sipple: Huskers-Canes showdown should produce true super regional

With all due respect to Creighton — and the Bluejays deserve plenty of it — a sense of inevitability permeated Sunday night's NCAA regional game against Nebraska. In short, Creighton ran out of quality pitching, a malady that strikes many college baseball teams during the postseason.

In hindsight, a crowd of 8,304 showed up Sunday for what amounted to a formality. Nebraska, comparably well-stocked with both pitching and energy, left no doubt regarding its supremacy in the four-team regional, which concluded with the top-seeded Huskers hammering the third-seeded Bluejays 10-2 at Haymarket Park.

In the eighth inning, when Nebraska's offense released the floodgates, the game essentially was reduced to a preliminary event.

'Canes expect hostile crowd

UM realizes it won't find any love when it travels to Nebraska for a super regional.

By Omar Kelly | Miami Bureau

Posted June 7, 2005

CORAL GABLES -- Miami is usually one of the bigger draws in Omaha, Neb., when the Hurricanes advance to the College World Series. It appears UM has the same appeal down the road in Lincoln, where Nebraska will host Miami in a best-of-three super regional this weekend.

Even though dates and times for the series won't be announced until today, the Cornhuskers sold all 8,500 of their allotted tickets 13 hours after defeating Creighton 10-2 Sunday night to advance to the field of 16.

"The people in Nebraska love to hate Miami, period," said UM Coach Jim Morris, whose Hurricanes advanced to the super regional by beating Mississippi State 10-4 Sunday night, winning Miami's NCAA-record 12th consecutive regional.

"It goes back to football. They will either root for their team or anyone that plays Miami. "That's what's expected, and we'll be ready for it."

This is just the third time Miami (41-17-1) isn't hosting a super regional since the format began in 1999. The Hurricanes have struggled their two previous times on the road, being ousted by Florida State in 2000 and losing to South Carolina in 2002.

Along with playing in front of a hostile crowd, UM also must deal with the annual distraction that comes with today's Major League Baseball amateur draft. Morris predicts some of his players either will be thrilled or disappointed by the outcome.

Third baseman Ryan Braun and pitcher Cesar Carrillo (13-2) are projected as first-round picks. Miami hasn't had a first-round pick since Pat Burrell was selected No. 1 by the Philadelphia Phillies in 1998.

Nebraska (54-13), the No. 3 national seed, likely will have a first-rounder of its own in third baseman Alex Gordon, who is rated by Baseball America as the draft's No. 2 hitter. Nebraska also has three pitchers -- starters Zach Kroenke (7-2, 2.61 ERA) and Brian Duensing (8-0, 2.60 ERA), and closer Brett Jensen (3-4, 2.09 ERA, 13 saves) projected as high draft picks.

"It should definitely be an extremely challenging series," said Braun, who is hitting .396 with 18 home runs, 75 RBIs and 22 stolen bases. "We're looking forward to the challenge."

Omar Kelly writes for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, a Tribune Publishing newspaper.

I'm lovin every minute of it. I was at the Embassy Suites last night around 1:30am, "helping" the bartender to close and we saw some players come in, I was nice, but I had to be a little arrogant so as they were at the elevator I said "Welcome to Nebraska ..you'll never lose in a nicer place".

As I look back there's not a more childish, immature thing to do, but as I said I was helping the bartender close... :)

 
NU won't change pitching rotation

Nebraska will stick with the same pitching rotation that helped it sweep three games at last weekend's NCAA regional when the Huskers face Miami in the super regional series at Haymarket Park.

Right-handed sophomore Joba Chamberlain (8-2, 2.86 earned run average), a first-team All-Big 12 Conference pick, will try to match the efforts of Hurricane star Cesar Carrillo when the best-of-three series begins at 12:05 p.m. Friday. The junior right-hander, selected by San Diego as the 18th pick in Tuesday's Major League Baseball First-Year Players Draft, is 13-2 with a 2.22 ERA.
