Well, that was a fun season.

 

Got a banner out of the season. Ended our season in the same portion of the bracket as the rest of the Big Ten teams.

We’re not focused at all.

I can live with the Friday game.  They just beat us.  Today, we helped them build this huge lead.

[brfrad]

Now, it sounds like we just want the season over.

Maybe the four Pac-12 teams coming in will add a bit more competition to a league that falls flat in the perennial landscape.

The PAC has sucked in the post season too… and the teams coming in didn’t light up the world.

Our team is not built to outslug a team like Florida.  Our pitching is not built to shut them down, either.

All I want to see is be competitive in these last 2 at bats.

That Columbus ball summed up this weekend in a nutshell.  If Florida was batting that would have been a home run.

Just hard to see anything positive out of this when every Big Ten team got embarrassed today.

I was talking more about improving the SOS of our conference schedule, which we have very little control of.

We have been.  Solid guys

I am pleased with the effort in the last 2 innings. 

[HuskerFever]

Outside of four innings today, things went well!

College baseball is the sport that is the most impacted by geography.   It's why the SEC has 11 teams in a Regional.  The ACC southern teams are well represented, also.  Until the powers that be decide to start the season later, it will take special seasons (Indiana, Michigan, etc) to advance very far in the Big 10.

What could have been if Stokes ball stays fair and Cags ball goes foul.  Someday the breaks have to go our way, right.

The hard hit Swanson ball off the pitcher sums up our day.  Good contact most ABs

I had the same sentiment for basketball season, I'd have loved to have won the Big Ten Basketball Tournament. At least the Boys of Summer 'got it done'!!

Gabe Swansen probably wished the season was still in March, wow, he lit it up the past 2 weeks with 7 HRs!

I feel like the Big Red men's sports are nearing a precipice, teetering on the cusp of success.... it's gotta happen, amirite?!
