Kendall Rogers just said he's hoping nebraska gets a 2 seed in one of the easier regionals. said the huskers are a very difficult two seed. thats a pat on the back for our boys!!

Thoughts on Nebraska potentially getting a one seed?

I don't think the Huskers get a one seed at the point. I think if you see someone traveling as a one-seed, it would be someone like NC State should it roll through the ACC tournament. Nebraska, for me, will be a two-seed, and an incredibly difficult two-seed to face. My hope is that the Huskers get sent to one of the 'easier' regionals.

Chance for Nebraska being a 1 seed in a remote Regional? Maybe in the Zags regional or say Pits?

Kendall kinda dismissed the chances for this earlier, but I'm not so sure. Nebraska's record in the Big Ten is really loud for me; it's a .725 winning percentage and a 3.5 game lead in the standings. What else can they really do? I think if they win that last series against Michigan, the Huskers have a real chance to be a 1 seed on the road (in Spokane or maybe Charlotte? But not Pitt. I don't think Pitt gets a home regional regardless.)

According to the NCAA Web site they dont consider teams- when picking game sites. 

"The designation of predetermined sites will have no bearing on the teams selected to participate or for seeding in the 2021 Division I Baseball Championship. The championship field will consist of 30 conference automatic qualifiers and 34 at-large qualifiers.

The final 16 predetermined sites will be revealed at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time Sunday, May 30."

So you would THINK the NCAA would want a place hosting- having a link to a team. That would be too simple to be accurate I guess. Maybe the BIG has been taking bumbling stupidity lessons from the NCAA.

 In this case... this is a one year thing. the ncaa did it this way this year as to give 20 locations time to implement personal protective measures into place. I'm ok with that and I think most everyone is as well. did it cost us a regional, no, we costs us a regional when we looked forward instead of looking at the opponent that day. still and regardless.. this is a Great Season and one we the fans should remember. thru all the covid nightmare our boys played well enough to earn a conference championship and be considered for a possible remote regional 1 seed. That reason enough for me to celebrate and celebrate I will. :)

You may not realize, its possible to celebrate Nebraska's great season and to be critical of the NCAA. Those 2 are not somehow mutually exclusive in any way whatsoever.  :cheers

 
Man.. you are busting my chops this morning... making me eat crow and do silly dances!! :) chuckleshuffle :duel

I'm ok with the critical part just also accepting this isn't the normal year :P

 
Setting up COVID protocols isnt like you are splitting atoms or preparing for the Olympics for crying out loud. Its just 4 small roster baseball teams playing an outdoor sport staying just short of a week- some leaving after a couple of days. :dunno One would HOPE and EXPECT the NCAA has a process in place and MOST of the places hosting probably are already adhering to some existing conference protocols. Weve been dealing with this thing for 18 months now- its really nothing new at all at this point.

Please remind me again, because college baseball isn't something I've followed closely over the years, are regionals single elimination?  Then, they go to a super regional before the CWS?  Right?

Double elimination. 

 
This is a big series this weekend for nebraska. if we win this series there's a chance (small change) of us getting a 1 seed in a remote regional. That would be a reward for staying focus and winning the big10.
