Baseball is such a funny sport because it’s a lot easier to snowball than most all other  sports.  Confidence is a huge thing in baseball.  When you lose confidence in a sport where you already fail 7

Erstad told his side of the story last night on the radio.  He said that something had happened earlier in the year with Gelo so he kind of know not to do it again.  But he also said that if you were

Where to start…   Recruiting overall – The talent level on this team simply isn’t high enough. Sure, we have 2 or 3 guys who will be drafted high in a couple of weeks, but the talent level

After looking at the remaining schedule, the margin looks to be far closer to razor thin than I thought.

 

If Nebraska wins out, one of these scenarios would have to transpire in order for us to get that #8 spot:

  • Michigan State finishes out 1-4
  • Indiana gets swept by Nebraska and goes 2-1 against Maryland  (finishes out 2-3)
  • Iowa loses out and finishes 0-6

If Nebraska loses 1 (goes 4-1), one of these scenarios would have to occur:

  • Michigan State loses out (0-5)
  • Indiana loses out (0-5)

Yup, a heck of a hole we dug ourselves into.

Not sure where these #'s are coming from? Seems like there are way more scenarios that can play out to me.

We're 7-10. Indiana is 9-9. MSU is 9-9.

If we go 5-0 and Indiana/MSU go 2-3,  we would be 12-10 and they would be 11-12.

If we go 5-0 and Indiana/MSU go 3-2, we would be 12-10 and they would be 12-11.

If we go 4-1 and Indiana/MSU go 1-4, we would be 11-11 and MSU/Indiana would be 10-13.

If we go 4-1 and Indiana/MSU go 2-3, we would be 11-11 and MSU/Indiana would be 11-12.

If we go 3-2 and Indiana/MSU go 1-4, we would be 10-12 and they would be 10-13.

 

Disclaimer: This is only relevant if B1G goes off win pct for seeds, which I would assume they would.

Looks like I may have miscalculated the denominator. So here's all the possibilities (at 3-2 or better):

 

Nebraska goes 5-0:

  • OSU or Illinois goes 1-4
  • Iowa goes 3-2 (not sure on tiebreaker, we went 1-1 in the series, but they have a better overall record)
  • Indiana or MSU goes 3-2

Nebraska goes 4-1:

  • Tiebreakers if OSU goes 0-5, Illinois 0-5, or Iowa 2-3 (Rutgers doesn't go 5-0)
  • Indiana or MSU goes 2-3

Nebraska goes 3-2:

  • Indiana or MSU goes 1-4 (Maryland or Rutgers doesn't go 5-0)

 

Can you verify, @The Polish Rifle?

This looks correct to me. Still have work to do, but still technically control our own destiny since we pass Indiana with a sweep.

 

Hopefully this team plays with the fire they did last night, didn't like Erstad pulling Gelo after his bat flip. The team playing angry last night looked a heck of a lot better than the team "grinding" in big games in the past.

If Nebraska wins out (4-0):

  • Iowa or Indiana win no more than 1 more game (1-3), OR
  • Michigan State goes 2-2 or worse
  • AND Maryland wins no more than 3 games

If Nebraska goes 3-1:

  • Iowa and Indiana loses out (0-4), OR
  • Michigan State goes 1-3 or worse
  • AND Maryland wins now more than 2 games (2-2) and Rutgers wins no more than 3 games (3-1)

A Senior Day win is a must

Or our hopes are a bust.

 

 

And my B1G tourney tickets might as well be for sale!

They are in the club level...where I would need to drink

to watch a Huskerless tourney.

 

 

Well, to be honest, I was planning on drinking even if we make the tournament.
