Nebraska (27-14) vs. Creighton (30-11) Series Game Thread

[Bugeaters1]

Looks like it's the radio tonight for me.

Walsh is going to start - wind will be blowing out tonight, though, so maybe his advantage in the big park is a little lower tonight than it is with the normal south wind.

This game should not be behind a paywall.  That is all.

FloSports has the absolute worst coverage and commentary around.  They've come after the rights of so many niche sports that previously had free streaming.  We should do everything in our power to bilk them of their revenue so that they realize their model is not profitable and shutdown.

I feel the same way about a corporation charging me $30 to stream a single baseball game.  Not even sure this is 720p quality, absolute trash product from a trash company.

 

The Jaysker color commentary guy said Matt Rhule should look at signing Walsh to the football team after he "pitched" the ball to 1B for an out in the 2nd inning

This is… not good.

[hskr4life]

We’re laying a big ol goose egg.

[cipsucks]

Thought I'd check in to see how the Huskers are doing.  Radio broadcast says we're in big trouble down 5-0 after 4 innings.  I just started laughing.  mrs. cip took Seth to the E.R. 1 a.m. Monday morning because he had blurred vision.  Once he got there, he had a seizure and went flat line 3 times.  He's doing much better today.  Not out of the woods, but he knows he's won this battle.  Just like the Huskers tonight.  Gotta feeling they beat these pricks!

Sorry to hear this CIP!  Baseball team needed a "Cip Me Up" and it looks like you're providing that!

[cipsucks]

5-2.  We've got this.

[cipsucks]

Down 5-3 at the 7th inning stretch.  I really like our chances!

No thanks.

Nebraska is going to win this game. The evil from the east just turned a base hit into an out.

I found out last night that a cousin's son tried to burn himself alive.

[cipsucks]

Way to hijack this thread to the negative.

[cipsucks]

We now have two outs in the  8th.

[cipsucks]

Make that a 1,2, 3 outs in the top of the 8th.  

[cipsucks]

I'm done.  I'll come back after we send this game into extra innings.

No, I agree with you.  I just wanted to post that video is all.

[throwback]

We played with fire all weekend offensively and got away with it, but it finally caught up to us tonight. Not a great performance at the plate again, especially with as many leadoff hitters as we got on base in the early innings.

 

Outside of a few huge innings at NW, we had a lot of these same issues, but we made NW play for mistakes. Couldn't do the same tonight. Some of the offensive woes were self inflicted by failing to move runners, some of it was bad luck by lining into an early double play, but, regardless, you aren't going to win many midweek games scoring 3 runs.

 

Just a weird night overall - we throw out 3 runners on the basepaths, 2 at home, and they make 2 errors uncharacteristically, yet we can't make them pay for any of it because of putrid offense.

Unfortunate chance missed for a potential Q1 win. 

 

I'm sure Sears will be ready to right the ship Friday. Need to get the offense fixed, though. Too many good hitters struggling right now.

I'm using the thread from April 2nd. This is for my of 44 years. We had our 44th Anniversary Friday 4/12/2024, The day I met her I knew that she was the one.
