I know it's early, but we gotta score something with runners on 2nd and 3rd and just 1 out.  

 

0-0 after 1

Does a three run tater do the trick?

Good night at the park. Less Blue than I expected. That is always good.

Nice, no, excellent win against Creighton tonight.  Let the streak continue. 

[The Polish Rifle]

Love beating Creighton. I doubted Knutson, but he and King got the job done. Gotta get at least 2 this weekend, its not the Illinois of last year, but they will throw 3 decent arms at us.

14 of the last 15!!  Starting to be int he receiving votes category of polls, so we are starting to get noticed.

7th straight win vs CU. 8th straight win in 2016. Nebraska now 17-7 after winning 14 of 15. GBR

Always nice to beat little sister.  Just going by appearance....you can tell Nebraska recruits a different athlete.  Creighton was very very tiny. 

[Norm Peterson]

Creighton is better than they have been.  We have beaten them like a bad child for years.  It may be tougher this year. Love to beat them so give 'em hell tomorrow night. 

Nope.  Beat 'em like a rented mule.  As it should be.

 

For those who went to the game, did anyone wear an Eric Crouch football jersey just for spite?

Yep, we did do that.  No Crouch jerseys this time, but everyone was preoccupied with Keyshawn and Gebbia sitting in the front row.  I was just waiting for a Crayton fan decked out in blue going up and getting our football recruit's autograph.  Would have photographed that.

I thought it was supposed to be a Tommie Frazier jersey.

RPI question....

 

Nebraska --17-7 (6-3 against top 50 RPI & 10-6 against top 100) - RPI 25

Minnesota --11-9 (0-1 against top 50 RPI & 3-5 against top 100) - RPI 22

 

How is that possible?

Because ... computers.

[Norm Peterson]

Besides, you have to admit they've lost fewer games to top 50 and top 100 teams than we have.

That's a good question an I'm not positive but I'm guessing Nebraska playing two more 200+ RPI games at this point is the difference.  Minnesota's SOS is also 33 spots higher.  My guess? In addition to the "bad" games all of Minnesota's games have either been away or a neutral field which carries more weight than a win at home.  Huskers have now had 10 home games.  I don't think their RPI will hold up down the stretch.

I think it boils down to we have played more games that hurt our RPI even with a win.

I've honestly been thinking the same thing for a couple years now. I always make the joke that Creighton Prep must have suited up for the game because, physically, CU looks like a bunch of high schoolers.

[khoock]

If only wins versus Creighton meant as much in baseball as they do in basketball.

Huskers have won 7 straight and 9 out of 10 in the series.

Posted on another site that I don't know if we have the arms to get it done.  But if the bats remaind hot all year you never know.  I'm still just hoping for regional play and a few wins at this point.  After last years collapse I'm not banking on anything.

Bad game tonight.  3 1/2 hours of bad baseball.  Cold as hell.  Too many walks. Horrible home plate ump.  Illinois starter went to the rosin after every other pitch.  SLOW.  Did I mention it was cold?

[khoock]

The walks rear their ugly head again. Hopefully it turns it out like the Wichita State series where we got all of our bad pitching out the first game and threw it pretty well the last two games.
