Wow. Maryland will officially miss the B1G tournament.

2 seed means afternoon games both Tuesday and Thursday (should we win Tuesday)

Borst missed with 3 pitches right down the middle to the 1st batter in the 7th leading to a walk.

Our inability to win slugfests doesn’t bode well for post season.

Even better, have everyone wear a wrist band on their dominant hand. If the wrist band is on the right hand, they’re not a Husker basketball recruit.

I don't think we'll do this but I'm starting Walsh today since we don't control our own destiny. I'm saving Brockett to start Tuesday The way MSU's pitching staff has been going lately, we probably can get 10+ runs again today, so might as well start Walsh and take our chances. Walsh mowed down MSU last year, so he may have their number. If we start Brockett on Tuesday, Sears & Mac stay close to their normal rest next week, and Brockett should be able to come back in the championship on Sunday. Besides, I don't think PU will try at all today. They'll definitely not use any of their best arms vs Illinois - other than it being senior day, this game means nothing to PU, so they'll try to set themselves up to make a run next week. Plus, they're PU baseball, so anything they can do to screw over NU, they'll do it. I don't think we'll do this either, but if we start Brockett today, I'm starting Walsh Tuesday for the same reasons. I also like Walsh in that big ballpark. Don't think we'll do either one, though. That's probably why I'm not coaching.

The solution to this is easy, there should be a total and complete ban on people taller than 5'11" wearing Husker gear in an airport, unless they place a name tag on themselves and a notice that expressly says they are not in any way a potential basketball recruit.

Of note: we play the earlier game tomorrow rather than PU/Illinois. Should the Boilers win tonight, we could put quite the pressure on Illinois tomorrow.

Crazy year - looked like our B1G schedule was pretty tough, but all 4 of our non-plays will make the tourney. Maybe that's because they didn't lose a series to NU. Purdue owes us to beat Illinois tonight after the garbage PU pulled two years ago.

So he's Charles Barkley then?

I'm not sure it is a positive sign that the two posts that are active, relate to a team that would be considered our archenemy. Oh well...Bluder was an exceptional coach that built a great program, and Clark is a generational talent. I would love it if our program could reach the current level of the Bluder program and we if we could secure a generational talent. (That said we may be getting closer than many people think.)

Istanbul not constant-novski

Fred Hoiberg when you tell him the player is left-handed.
