I absolutely love DVH.  Had he stayed at NU, he would have had his national championship by now.  He lives under the curse of pig sooeey.  Dana was smart enough to run like hell away from them.  GBR!  (Go Bolt Red)

 

But he really blew it in the ninth today.

That was my point.  He now lives under the Arkansas curse.  Besides all the cross country and track titles, the only national championship they have in the men's sports is a 1994 basketball championship under Nolan Richardson.

Looks like (if i heard correctly) he had runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs and couldnt get the tying run across. Also, had a runner on 3rd with 1 out and didnt get it done the previous game. If he was our HC and that was our team he would be getting crucified rn.

Michigan puts the L on FSU and goes 2-0 to start the CWS:

Mich just looked liked a championship team against FSU. Huskers beat 'em in the regular season and again in B1G tournament. We were SO CLOSE this year!

Not to undermine the accomplishment, but Michigan certainly has gotten the best draw in the College World Series right now. Arkansas was the major contender in their bracket and Michigan/Florida State were both "Last Four In".

 

The other side of the bracket is fierce with Mississippi State and Vanderbilt. But like I said, you can't undermine Michigan's position because they survived the #1 overall Regional, so I suppose that makes sense. Great start for the Blue.

 

I just remember when we matched up against them, we had the better pitching staff but weaker bats. Michigan's success in this tournament is going to be how deep they can go with their pitchers to pull out two wins in the finals.

This post is hours late and a dollar short, but paying respects to the 2nd eliminated team in the CWS:

The road for Mike Martin ends in Omaha. Win or lose, what a special way to end a career.

 

Down to 5 teams left in Omaha:

5 teams left in Omaha...  

 

Nebraska record against those five teams this year was 4-2.  So dang close and just goes to show that we were right there this year.

Mississippi State just went down the way they took Auburn down in their opening game. Louisville responds with 4 runs to make it a 4-3 win by the Cardinals to stay alive:

Down to 3 teams. Not the way they want to go home, but what a decade for Texas Tech baseball.

And now it's Vandy and Michigan in the CWS Championship:

I would be surprised if MU vs Vandy doesn't go 3 games and in game 3 Vandy's depth pitching-wise proves the difference. MU is hot by Vandy is GOOD. Should be fun!

Michigan starting off the T1 strong with 2 runs on the board.

[HuskerFever]

Just like Game 1, Michigan gets on the board early in T1.

That's it in Omaha this year. Only one hiccup with weather this year.
