After the other Big Red men's teams have been subpar, we have to hold out hope that Husker baseball does well. It's our only hope. Sadly, the fact that we’re an incompetent conference means that we’ll probably only see the Big 10 get 1-2 bids this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bolt and company have done a really good job on the recruiting trail. It’s a damn shame we can’t play any non con games this year. HB and mwm89 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Polish Rifle 2,056 Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Husker Mom weighing in ^. What a complete failure. The players, their families, the coaches, the fans - all deserve better. Between this and the B1G jamming a months worth of basketball into a couple weeks for our hoops team, I NEVER want to hear the B1G get on their high horse in regards to serving the "Student Athlete".

hskr4life 6,552 Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 The B1G is officially the kid on the playground shooting hoops and thinking everyone will come and join him while the rest of the kids are off playing other things. Bugeaters1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brfrad 1,612 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 This is utterly ridiculous, now!! They can reframe the football schedule for next fall. They can figure out a schedule for basketball to give a team 8 games in 2 weeks. You can get a softball schedule to start at the end of February. However, you can not get a baseball schedule for conference only games. Heck, just start drawing teams out of a hat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Especially if you're trying to factor in travel, balance of schedule, etc. That aside, it does seem the Big Ten has backed themselves into a corner for baseball and it's not a great look for the conference.

brfrad 1,612 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Just went to the big ten website, they haven't update the baseball page since March 12, 2020. No update on when a schedule might come out. Nothing. Baseball had a runner-up at the CWS. Maybe we should promote the sport. Bugeaters1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The softball teams are going down to Florida to play. But with the travel ban that Biden wants to put on Florida. Just wonder if the baseball side is looking at like Arizona or Texas.

I am 98% confident that there would be no such domestic ban to ever occur. And even more so, the infrastructure to force testing at borders or airports is not in place for that to even be a plan you can roll out. So I am not worried one bit about that. But international... many professional teams in Canada have been partnering with US teams to be able to stay within the US border and play, since Canada has stricter rules in place.

Huskerpapa 4,745 Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 I was thinking of our pitching staff given the 44 game limited schedule, especially if we should somehow qualify for post season. Our pitching depth may be an unknown as mid-week and pre-conference games are gonzo. On the other hand, no arm should be overworked. This an interesting time we live in. mwm89 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hskr4life 6,552 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 The fact that some teams will have 6-8 games by the time we get to play 1 game tells you all you need to know about how the B1G handled this. Bugeaters1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Polish Rifle 2,056 Posted Monday at 08:17 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:17 PM 33 games on BTN or BTN+ last season, that's not even including the NET/ESPN games. I see a total of 3 scheduled for TV this year. Cool decision combined with no fans. Love this conf. Bugeaters1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
