OT Husker Baseball

[Navin R. Johnson]

Congrats to the Nebraska baseball team.  Won the Big Ten tournament after losing their first game.  The big question is how in the world was Josh Caron not on the all Big Ten conference team?

 

Oops!  Posted this and then realized we had the "other NU sports" board.  Feel free to move this.

This thread needs to stay.  The other sports board doesn't get that many views.  This Husker baseball team reflects what is going on in Husker athletics, especially basketball and football.  The right head coaching hires were made in all 3 sports. You don't have to have "elite" talent at all positions: get the right athletes who have the right attitude, and things, more than likely, will look good at season's end. Everything is in place.  We have the money, we have the coaches, we have the facilities and we have the right talent.  

I've got a feeling whatever regional the Huskers wind up in, we're playing in a Super Regional.  GBR!

Can somebody answer this for me...this is the first time since ______ (year/sport) that a men's athletic team has won a Big Ten title?

[HuskerFever]

(Believe I have an answer, but curious on how frequent this has been for us in the last 14 seasons.)

Maybe my reading comprehension isn't good, but I thought I saw the men's  gymnastics team finished 3rd. Is this Big Ten champs for an individual title?

What an impressive run of five straight victories after that initial dud against the toxic-nuts, 15-2. The Huskers reeled off wins by the count of 6-2, 12-5, 4-2, 10-4, and 2-1. With the latter three wins occurring within 27 hours!! GBR!!!

I was THERE yesterday, a thrilling reminder of why the NEW B1G isn’t Ready for what the Big Red is ready to unleash across the Board.

Looks like we are in the Okie State regional.  #2 seed.

[roscoe]

Other than game number 1 the pitching staff was very impressive. Walsh and Brockett were impressive in there starts and Christo brought his "A" game also.

[HuskerFever]

This needs to be in the main part of the board. So proud of this guy.

Unfortunate mistake where a back-to-back fastball down the middle leads to a home run. Probably would get away with it in AA ball. Which, he did. Only allowed one in that league.

That's a pretty darn good 1st start in the majors.  One mistake, but overall, I'd be happy as a Braves manager.
