Nice start to the season. Got to listen to about 1/2 of the game.

Agree, but I wish we had been a little more competitive against Oregon State. I know where they are ranked and get it but still we never seemed to be in those two games

Can we finally acknowledge that Erstad needs to go. At some point, even rampant injuries can be attributed to poor coaching.

Boy, Nebraska's not doing very well this year. 16-19? That's pretty bad. I don't think they'll make the Big Ten Tournament this year. :(

If they can't make the Big Ten Tournament, then the NCAA Tournament is most certainly out of reach.

Wonder how that will affect attendance at the Big 10 Tournament. If Iowa makes it, that will help, but I don't think we will see the 15-18,000 there like in past years for Nebraska.

Come on

Other than Pitching, Fielding, and Success at the plate they are doing fine.

Losing to UNO is going to upset off the fan base, but midweek games are pretty irrelevant for this team. Still plenty of time to make up just 2 games to make the conference tourney.

Loosing to Omaha for the first time since 1997 I believe
Loosing to K State at home who was on a nine game loosing streak.
Haven't verified it but I heard the Huskers have been behind in every game this year.

There is a lot more that an Omaha loss that has the core fan base concerned.

I just watched a live feed of Bill Moos speaking and answering questions at the Omaha Press Club. He was asked about baseball and Darin Erstad. I don't think Erstad is going anywhere. Moos gave a lot more of a pro Erstad answer than the dreaded vote of confidence.

He compared this season to losing a point guard or a quarterback. Losing a Friday arm is as costly.

The underling problem is that is not the only issue......
