With the return of three stud starters, a closer, and influx of young arms... sure you're replacing some bats but you're also bringing in exciting young guys with loads of potential... this year is gonna be fun. I'm a little surprised more people aren't talking about it yet. The run to a B1G Title and hosting a regional begins in a mere 29 days!

Wow. Only 29 days to increase the temperature 29 degrees. One degree per day shouldn't be that difficult should it ?

 
BASEBALLLLL!

Unlike the past 2 season, we need to begin the season on a good note ad cruise from there. The past 2 season we had t catch up to everybody else and that wasn't good enough for the NCAA tournament. Hopefully Erstad does something a little different this year because I don't think I can take another short season.

I would love to see us sweep the Big Ten Pac 12 challenge,.

 
Those would all be big wins but we still have to go 2-2 at worst in weekend number 1 for any momentum at all going into the B1G Pac 12 Challenge.

Edit: adding that I think our best case scenario for our first 10 games is going 8-2 losing 1 game in each the Husker classic and B1G Pac 12 Challenge and sweeping The Citadel.

Worst case is going 4-6 winning only 1 in the first 2 weekends and going 2-1 against The Citadel.

I just hope we play hard every game and don't blow it in the 9th inning. I expect to be 7-3 after 10 games.

Which is fully acceptable. HELL I WANT 10-0!

 
I want to see the Huskers come out minumum 2-1 in both the first two weekends. Would love to see a sweep of the Beavers, since they have a game in each of the first two weekends, but even a split will tell us where we are at after playing the #4 ranked team in the Collegiate Baseball News preseason rankings. Nice to see the Skrs getting votes in that poll. Also love the idea of the B1G - Pac 12 challenge. It's a chance for Nebraska, IU, and MSU to make a statement early on in the season. B1G 9-0 over the Pac 12 for the weekend. That would be sweet!!!

I'm looking for our kids to keep fighting in these early games and scrap out wins--too often we had good non-con teams on the ropes early last season, only to give away leads or blow games with boneheaded plays.

We should have the horses to win all of our non-con series...the question is if those horses are mentally prepared/hardened to do so.

 
Having followed the baseball team as a relatively so-so fan from about the time of D.E. to about 2008, and then becoming a real avid Husker baseball fanatic after that, I don't remember if there has been as much buzz about a Husker pitching group like this year's group since maybe the 2005 team. Would that seem about right?
