So that is next year then, no change for this year? I know that they talked about changing the bats, but ruled that out for player's safety.

The change is for next year. It will be used for sure in all NCAA tourny play including the CWS. As far as the reg season and Conf tourny goes it will be up to each individual team / league if they want to implement it. I would think that any team tha tthinks they have a shot at post season would implement. There will be no change for this years CWS

Here is the NCAA press release on the ball change from last Jan. I may have posted this on here some where but didn't find it. I did find the link where I posted it on Huskermax

Huskers take first 2 games of Minnesota series.. maybe they can at least win this miserable conference (still trying to figure out how they lost series to Iowa... think those are the only two wins Iowa has thus far).

UNL moved up to #38 in the latest RPI.

#5 Indiana is not on their schedule this year...

Huge miss by the league there. I understand that schedules are made ahead of time, but for a conference this bad to not have the two halfway respectable programs play is a major mistake.

Would have liked to see a Hoosier-Husker series; but my guess is both will meet up in Omaha. NU is starting to look like a regional team if the starting pitching continues to dominate. Still some holes on the team, but it looks like that is being addressed in recruiting. NU SS commit had 3 home runs and 12 RBI's in one game over the weekend.

RPI 61 Kansas St at 35 Nebraska tomorrow on BTN. KSU seems to have NU's number as of late, they need a nice non-conference mid-week win!

I'm glad I didn't decide to go to the game...

Haha if this game turns out to be epic I will laugh so hard !

Post by **Coyote** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 8:01 pm

Yeah, I was ready to turn it off after KSU scored 4 in the top of the 1st. Still, it looks cold out there...

Nebraska rolls 14-5. UNO tomorrow.

A good win for NU. Tonight should be interesting, UNO is no pushover. Great coach that UNO is lucky to have.

Well it looks like the Huskers didn't overlook UNO with a 17 - 6 win last night. Was an intersting game to listen to. There were 27 batters at the plate for the Huskers in the first two innings.

Greg S · Post by **Greg S** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 8:48 am

Yeah that was ugly. NU needs to keep winning. They are now being included in some early brackets for the tourney.

Greg S · Post by **Greg S** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 12:04 pm

Nebraska loses 2 close ones and wins only 1. Need to win every series at home.

Greg

Nice to take 2 of 3 at Michigan. Does not look promising for a game tonight between CU and NU. Even if played the crowd will be hurt by temps.

Greg

Greg S · Post by **Greg S** » Thu May 01, 2014 7:27 am

Much better game between UNO and Nebraska. Can't believe they played it though. Horrible night to watch baseball.

Greg

HskrFanMike · Post by **HskrFanMike** » Thu May 01, 2014 12:50 pm

I suspect that it was either play last night or not play at all. I don't know if they had a date that worked for Nebraska, UNO, and the stadium.

Greg S · Post by **Greg S** » Thu May 01, 2014 4:27 pm

That's kind of what I figured. Would have gone if the weather wasn't so bad.

Not sure why the baseball writers poll goes to 30 instead of 25, but the Huskers are officially "ranked" at 29, meaning they aren't in the others receiving votes category. http://www.sportswriters.net/ncbwa/poll/

I think the staff has this team trending in the right direction. Both for this year and building for the future

Was happy to see Erstad wants to do a home and home with UNO every year in baseball. Obviously the games in Omaha need to stay at Werner. Too bad the weather was so brutal for this year's game.

Starting to look like the Big Ten may get 3 teams in this year unless NU sweeps Illinois. NU trending up at the right time....future looks bright with some of the young guys they have on the roster and the talent they have coming in.

Greg S · Post by **Greg S** » Tue May 13, 2014 9:32 am

NU made plays of the day on Sportscenter last night. Also due to travel issues, they had to do a bus ride back to Nebraska about 1AM last night. Going to be interesting to see what kind of shape they are in tonight.

Greg

Post by **Coyote** » Tue May 13, 2014 9:44 am

Not going to be a pretty game for either team. Creighton plays a throw away game before this second game of the day, then prepare for their bus trip to Cincinnati.

Big question would be the over/under for the amount of pitchers used today. 16 was a number thrown out. Johnny Wholestaff time.

Post by **Coyote** » Tue May 13, 2014 9:58 am

At 10:00 NU is now getting on a third bus outside of Joliet, Ill. 450 miles away from a 7:00 pm start tonight.

Yes cancelled, NU won't be back in time.

Rumor has they were trying to do something for Sunday but it does not look like that's going to happen.

Greg

Post by **Coyote** » Wed May 14, 2014 9:58 am

If NU ends up third in the league, they still are scheduled to play a 9:00 am, if they end up second, 1:00pm

Post by **Coyote** » Fri May 16, 2014 10:20 pm

Huskers lose 1-5 tonight so Indiana grabs the #1 seed.
The #2 and #3 seeds will be determined by tomorrow's Ill vs NU game...
