I know alot of people don't care, but both my Nebraska Cornhuskers and the UGA Bulldogs are suppose to be top eight seeds for the NCAA Baseball tournament and are both kicking some serious ass this year.

What is really surprising is that both LSU and Texas are having sub-par years, and the Tigers are suppose to be the three seed at the Lincoln Regional hosted by Nebraska.

If the Bayou Bengals come up, I will definitely try to catch one of their games here, especially if Skip Bertman makes the trip to hang out with Tom Osborne.

go beavs. thats' all i know.

Raleigh Regional: NC State, East Carolina, Oregon State, Charlotte

Your Beavs are going to have to battle Tommy's Wolfpack in North Cack.

I wish we still had baseball but it got the axe due to Title IX. We do have a freaking women's crew team in Tulsa tho.

You can root for Okie State, they are good this year.

thank god, another post about Nebraska

Damn Right! GO DAWGS!

Obligatory post about how I used to live down the street from the UGA Baseball stadium, and you could get in free, so we would grab a pint of whiskey and some sunflower seeds and go listen to the pings.

It's more about the Obner schools that are good in college baseball, or are typically good.
I'm hyping the Dawgs just as much as my Huskers. It's also not my fault that the College World Series is in Omaha and will be until something like 2030.

We'll give him a pass this time.

YES!!!!! For real!!!!

Nebraska is playing much better than I expected them to this year, but I'm still worried about our last two Big XII weekends (Texas A&M & Mizzou). A&M is on a total roll. I doubt the Big XII would get two Top 8 seeds, and I'm thinking A&M will get it. I still think we'll host a regional though.

Arkansas is starting to turn things around a bit after a horrible start to the season (3-8 start in SEC games), and has won their last 3 SEC series'. At least they will make the tourney now (I hope).

Those Bayou Bengals of LSU have made a mad comeback this year and are now ranked. They are even supposed to host a regional site.
Nebraska and Georgia are National Top Eight Seeds, and the list of Obner schools include:
NC State
Navy (which is suppose to play in Lincoln)
Vanderbilt
Texas
Arkansas
Oregon State
Missouri

The Baton Rouge region should be awesome with Texas, LSU and Tulane all playing there.

Finally...after terrible football and basketball seasons, I can be proud of a NC State team.

i knew this would be, at some capacity, about nebraska.

Just as everything should be!!!

18 Straight.

Nebraska blew their first round game in the Big 12 tournament and got swept by Mizzou in Columbia last weekend.
Thankfully all the top three seeds in the Big 12 lost and Texas A&M lost two straight.
Supposedly Nebraska is no longer a top eight seed and opposite of Georgia right now, so we might have a major Obner showdown come June.

I just saw that Bama beat Georgia in the SEC tourney, the supposed Top Eight seeds are all crapping out in their conference tourneys.

Apparently my Bearcats are pretty good this year.

what a reversal of fortunes. Nebraska will come to LSU if they both win their regionals.

Cool, Nebraskans love LSU when it comes to Baseball, but there's always the chance they go with Nebraska due to the facilities here. It's usually based on a bid system that tends to favor the higher seed.

Nebraska got a fairly decent regional with Eastern Illinois, Oral Roberts and UC Irvine coming here. Irvine is the only team that scares me, but the Huskers are damn good at home.

I hate to tell ya, man, but there's no way they don't have the super-regional in Baton Rouge if both teams advance. It's the last year in Alex Box and they won't let it sit empty if there's something big on the line.

39-20 and didn't make the cut, what a bunch of B.S.

Oh, I don't doubt it. I was just saying that due to the quality of facilities here, we had a slim chance. Haymarket Park has earned a reputation as being one of the best minor league/collegiate facilities in the country. It has won best field or something along those lines several times this past decade.

It is actually called Hawks Field due to a big money donor.

Here is the wikipedia blurb on it:

Hawks Field is named for one of the primary donor families that contributed to the construction of the baseball stadium. It has a playground down the right field line. Hawks field is the first collegiate venue to use the SubAir system which can heat and cool the field year round.[citation needed] It was selected as the best playing surface in each of its six years of existence.[citation needed] In November of 2007, Hawks Field won the Baseball Field of the Year Award in the College/University division by the Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA) for the second time.[citation needed] The field earned its first honor in 2003 and is the only college park in the country to be a two-time winner.[citation needed]

Dude, no offense, but it is a Bearcat Baseball team with no history of excellence an RPI of 84. They needed to win their conference to get a bid. Hell, Nebraska had an RPI of #8. Did they get a top seed, no, am I pissed, no. The Huskers should have made their conference tournament championship, but did not, so they got what they deserve.
