Thunderin' Bolts at the Fayetteville Regional

[cornheadnation]

If there is one thing we learned from this regional, it's that the NCAA did both Nebraska and Arkansas dirty. I was browsing an Arkansas message board to see what their vibe was after this one - and one guy goes  "Other 1 seed's got Central Michigan, Fairfield, Campbell, Liberty in their regional championships and we got Nebraska" 

What message board if there’s are you looking at, the ones I’ve looked for are either garbage or one you have to pay to see.

Somebody riddle me this...

Am I allowed to smoke my ceremonial victory cigar tomorrow night before the game? I smoked one this evening after beating NJIT and it worked! Can I save it or do I have to go out now? It's past midnight here in my neck of the woods  chuckleshuffle

Save it.. show faith in the boys like they show to one another

Can anyone name a single day greater than Sunday for Nebraska Baseball?

The 3 times NU made a CWS, including a win in the 2005 CWS.

Yes- great win but far from the greatest. 

I was at this game in the outfield bleachers- electric. Interesting who caught the last out and scored the tying run. Ive been to all the National Title FB games- most home games etc and THAT game I will never forget. So much fun.

Look, I'm in love with this team as much as anyone...but we've made the CWS before. We've won at the CWS before. Let's keep this in perspective while we still celebrate it, can we?

I was referring more to the TWO must win games, back to back, not just the win over #1 Arkansas. 

I think it is encouraging that Nebraska was able to win even with handing them two runs on a single wild pitch, and being burned by running into so many outs (and, ironically, one run that could have been getting held up at third base. It turned out to be an out at home anyway.)

This was the first thing I saw on social media today and man......what a great way to start a Monday ha

So there's a potential for thunderstorms tonight. 

I would really prefer to play them tonight and not let them get another day of rest.

Also last time we beat #1 was in 2014 against Oregon State 9-2.

To your credit, you did say Sunday and all the following comments were NOT Sunday games.

I'm completely torn on the rain part.  On one hand I'd like to see them play tonight to keep the momentum going and Nebraska is obviously feeling it.  On the other hand, an extra day of rest would be huge for Schwelly and Povich for pitching purposes.  Arkansas didn't burn Kopps yesterday and Nebraska is going to have to beat him regardless if they play tonight or tomorrow.
