Red Rum

According to Kempom, there are only 14 teams in the country with both a top 40 offense and a top 40 defense and we are one of them. 

Another fun game.  We sat right in front of Tyler Stone’s family and local fan club.  They were rightly all fired up.

Oh yeah, we enjoyed it!   Place was about 70% Husker fans.  Looking forward to the next 3

Looks like there was one idiot with some hot takes in this thread. 😂 Shows what I know ... nothing.

Debbie can pound sand. LOL
 

Or.....hear me out....keep doing what they're doing

Zac and Brooks Taylor. The Best.
 

I am on record saying we need Lawrence when people were calling for him to be benched for Hoiberg.  He gives us things nobody else does.  So happhy for him that he had a game like this.  He is a big part of our future as well hopefully.  

If it comes down to it, Omaha is walkable

I'm just here today looking for various threads to appropriate cut and paste all the lyrics from the boys are back in town

Had to check our win/loss record for a second. Thought I just walked into a thread during a time we had a losing record.
 
For a split second I thought, "Are we all upset at each other again? Is it January already?"

Happy Opening Day y'all.  Big one right out of the gate.  Need to take advantage of getting Baylor first in this trip and grab a W.  Build some confidence right away.  Here's what I'm hoping to see.
 
1. Hot bats that manufacture runs.  I know we're not going to have as much power as last year, so how do we score?  12-15+ hits would be nice to see.
 
2. Pitchers throwing strikes.  If they hit us, they hit us.  We're going to be Jonny Whole Staff this weekend most likely anyways.  Need our pitchers to find the zone and let our D work.  No walks, no free passes/bases.
 
3. How do we handle adversity.  We're not going 3-0 this weekend.  Already prepared for that.  We're likely to face adversity at minimum by tomorrow, but tonight I could see it as well.  Do we fight?  Do we get flustered? 
 
4. How short are leashes going to be.  While we all think Jonny Whole Staff is making an appearance, just how short are those leashes going to be?

Looks like by making use of Memorial Stadium, Den Hartog, and Haymarket Park, NU will have been working out outdoors all 3 weeks ahead of the first game. I can't remember the last time that happened. Den Hartog putting in artificial turf was a big help, and the idea to use Memorial Stadium for some of the early, generalized workouts was a good one.
 
Sounds like the coaches still weren't entirely settled on who the 3 starting pitchers were going to be heading into the scrimmages the past couple of days. We'll see if they name all 3 starters Monday or Tuesday when Bolt meets with the media, or if they go TBA for one or two of them. If I had to guess, I think the coaches will stick with the veterans this first weekend, and it'll be Sears, Walsh, Christo - but they'll all have short leashes. The freshmen and juco newcomers have a lot of talent, but I think we'll let them work out of the 'pen for a bit. 
 
With Coach Childress in charge, you better compete and you better throw strikes, or he'll find someone who can. Certainly, Sears & Christo have tons of talent, so I think we want those two guys in the rotation, as long as they can throw strikes consistently. Walsh provides the perfect change-up to those two guys in a weekend series, if it all works out. Now it has to translate to actual game situations and trusting their stuff.
 

I know i run a Nebraska basketball message board but some days I wished I liked Nebraska Basketball as much as Andy Katz

Does he know how good this team could be?
 

Nebraska wins.
 

Write a letter to the editor, Jean

Priority number 1 is convincing Gary, Mast, and Williams to stay around for their sixth year of college.
 
 

Holy crap I didn't look at the years on these first few posts just the day/month. I was completely confused as to where this was all coming from. Carry on

Same here.  Very confused and wondering how tough of room this was.

The Emotional Return of Juan Gary & my presence in the stands will be more than Maryland is prepared to deal with on a Saturday morning. 

That should be the free square in the middle of the card.
