This should be big for the B1G. Get used to playing there for the CWS.

Of course, I am assuming this is where the CWS is played. I went to the CWS when it was at Royal Stadium(I think that was the name) by the Henry Doorly Zoo.

Yes. TD Ameritrade Park is the new CWS venue.

The old venue for 50 years was Rosenblatt Stadium by the zoo. It was indeed where the Omaha Royals played.

damn it, how could I forget Rosenblatt Stadium. Since I have been gone from Omaha for over 40 years, I guess my memory is finally slipping me.

Potential for Huskers to play Indiana again on Thursday if they both win on Wednesday. What are the odds of a team beating a team 4 straight? Good news is none of these teams strike the fear of God in me matched up against Erstad's squad.

Haven't played Minney this year so a bit of an unknown there

This tournament almost feels like it's Nebraska's to lose right now with how they're playing and with the tourney being played in Omaha.

Did we ever have one of those polls recently of which sport will win a conference title first between football, basketball and baseball?

I really need to take a trip to the CWS one of these years.

The problem is its fiscal year end at work, so it's hard to get that much time off....guess that means get a new job lol

Saw we are actually highest RPI team in the B1G. Michigan is 37th and Minnesota is 47th.

We should be in but I don't think we can afford to go 0-2 with 2 bad losses though.

Yup. Need to win one for lock IMO.

Even Minny winning the regular season is not a sure thing for Regionals. If anyone outside the top 4 gets the auto bid, someone's getting bumped.

I want a fucking conference title. I want the Huskers to be able to hold up a legitimate trophy for once.

I like this rotation right now with Burkamper, Waldron and Meyers. Meyers, the game 3 starter has the lowest ERA of the bunch.

Erstad saying as of now, Schreiber not able to play tomorrow. They need his offense. Ideally if Huskers win the tournament they can play themselves out of the Gainesville Regional and avoid a national seed
