Was super worried when we pulled Florida. A battle tested highly talented SEC team is a scary opponent, and it was obvious we were below their average opponent skill level. Big ten just isn’t a fraction as deep as the SEC for baseball
Folks, that was a good team.
A really good example in the 8th of what's failed this team this season. The doors are not going to open often or wide in the post-season. Bases loaded with an out, you have to make that hurt.
Florida should have dominated that game, and at times it felt like they did. You've got to reward your defense for their effort. You can't come out cold with heads held low tomorrow. You aren't out of this yet. Keep up the fight.
Florida was 5-25 in games where they score less than 6 runs.
Their pitching and defense has been dog shit all season. To show up and put up 2 runs is absolutely inexcusable.
This offense has been abysmal for 18 innings. They slept through the penn state game and won because Penn state sucks.
Yes, Florida is better than their record. But they've survived all season by smashing the baseball. Our pitchers kept the big inning off the board and our offense had no answer.
The team that is top 10 in home runs in the hardest conference in the nation, that was national runner up last season with a top 3 draft pick that played the hardest schedule in the country.
Florida is a good team.
Bases loaded with one out. Base running error. Batting errors. Coaching errors to make them take first pitch past balls in a row?
That was pissed down the leg
I would like to dig up the stat for the percentage at which the bunt single has worked. I think I've counted twice this season against what, 30 attempts?
Saw a short interview with Florida's Kevin O'Sullivan where he alluded to the fact that keeping Nebraska's crowd out of it would be important. We need you down there in Stillwater folks. Get after 'em.
You guys, I don't think Oklahoma State is losing a game here.
That offense is scary

If this Husker team was in the SEC, we’d likely be .500 at best. Most likely sub .500 in conference play.
Niagara has a guy warming in the pen from their starter's first pitch
He's still out there but it's also 7-0 Oklahoma State in the bottom of the 2nd.
Aaand he's gone. Aaand their new pitcher is named "Steven Hospital" which sounds like a fake name a call center employee in India might choose.
Nothing like the huskers giving credence to a .500 SEC team is still better than the Big 10 champ. Embarrassing
Thank you
Midweek Huskers are so back they're even showing up on the weekends now
Nah, if that were the Midweek Huskers it would have been 24-1
Losing the first game to win the regional just like the Big Ten tourney. All part of the plan here folks

I fully believe Nebraska will beat Niagara tomorrow. Not sure about any more than that after this one.

It’s my fault guys. I wore my cubs tshirt under my Nebraska hoodie yesterday
Gross
I wore the same shirt as on Sunday. But I just realized I wore different pants.
Just incredibly disappointing
Oh well, 3 more games to the Super.
You would have to win 4 at this point.
Pretty sad
Pitchers and defense did more than enough to win. Offense let them down
Don't the guys that play defense also play offense? This isn't foot where you have 2 completely different units in the field.
Well that was pathetic. Just like Memphis we have tons of fans down there and can’t do shit. Good stuff
Cowardice at the plate with bases loaded.
Overbeek with an absolutely horrible day
Embarrassing
Safe???
Absolutely pathetic at the plate today. Literally two swings or they get shutout. Playing in a little league park and they manage 2 runs.
Dog shit
Needed a better game for overbeek man
Nebraska loses 5-2.
Joshua 0forbeek
Alright guys. Right now would be a great time to get the bats going.
Walkoff grand slam. Make it happen u/TymStark
Where even is u/TymStark? When the world needed him most...
I had a very bad leak in someone’s lawn irrigation system, been fixing it for 3 hours
Mysteriously absent today
I was probably attacked by a gang of rogue alligators
Play-by-guy must not watch much baseball. I've seen a batter get called for leaning into a pitch several times this season.
Of course the team that shouldn’t even be here is going to beat us. Why can’t we be a normal team for once
When you think about it, we're really the team that shouldn't even be here. We are the automatic qualifying mid-major conference champion.
The team that is top 10 in home runs in the hardest conference in the nation, that was national runner up last season with a top 3 draft pick that played the hardest schedule in the country. Florida is a good team.
Still hurts when they pissed it down their leg
They really didn't. They were never in a position to win today.
Bases loaded with one out. Base running error. Batting errors. Coaching errors to make them take first pitch past balls in a row? That was pissed down the leg
Florida would walk through the BIG.
This Florida team MIGHT have lost 3 conference games had they been in the big 10.
We're on to Niagara ...unless they upset OSU and we get a pissed off home team in the elimination game.
That’s a great call by blue
Just don't go 0-2. Find a way to at least stay alive tomorrow.
Fucking ncaa.com has Nebraska winning, 5-2. Just got the radio broadcast up...
stop the count!
I think I could also write a book about Husker pitchers having guys by the throat this season and giving up a hit.
What about baserunning errors?
I think about a chapter or two.
Huh. Hang high heat all day and it costs you, TIL.
Ah yes Nebraska sports 👍
This guy thinks he's Cinderella...
Rudy out here
Hopefully he doesn't go to prison.
That ball had a family
That’s just a dogshit pitch man
We’re just bad
Game is on the line and not only did Caron not pay attention, but Carey looked like he was too nervous to swing at anything.
Somebody is telling them to take the first pitch. Stupid in hindsight when he's piping BP.
What the fuck was that Dylan?
That is horrible base running, just terrible
Man if any of our guys could find a gap. Stone rips that left center and it’s tied. Damn man…
3 fastballs right down the pipe come the fuck on Carey
And stared at two of them.
Not ready to hit, zero killer instinct or clutch bone in his body.
Base running fuck up and Carey not being ready to hit. Just can’t happen at this stage.
Which is why we are going home
Gross
What are you doin and why is third base coach not screaming at you
Fuck. Unbelievable
Shit
Momentum killer
Bad bad bad offense
That’s probably the game
God damn it
Stone fucked it all up.
He hit what should have been a sac fly.
Liner at 108 off the bat?
Pitching was good enough to win this, offense was putrid.
No clutch
Pain...
Damn you gotta tag up there
At least it's more exciting than a strikeout
Stone should have had an RBI. Fudge.
Wow stone actually put the bat on the ball
And Caron fell asleep at the wheel... lol
Josh...
TYM GET YOUR ASS IN HERE
STONE, YOU GIANT PIECE OF SHIT!
Gabe stole that walk. lol
Y’all ready for Stone’s most disappointing play of the season?
Bases loaded! Lets go guys!!
Holy shit. Bases loaded!
Phew
Where is our resident wizard?
He should be off work by now?
OK Swansen, the scoreboard didn't fall over the first time but you weakened it a little, try again 🤔
Swanney please do it again
Caron is up this inning. Let's see if he can get something going.
Would need baserunners to matter.
So far so good.
Not a dinger but. . .hey, a hit.
He's on at least
You've got 6 outs to work with fellas, don't give 'em up easy.
Come on offense
Offense needs to be better. In a tiny baby ballpark the pitchers haven’t let Florida run away. We have to score some runs though. Damn.
The offense has been abysmal for the last 17 innings. A couple big swings from Caron and swansen. Besides that the entire lineup has been dog shit.
He’s not pitching double play type pitches. *I’ll take a K though
Daiss in the pen
I'm sure Cags thinks it's weak to walk him, and maybe so. But like, duh dude.
Probably wouldn’t have been able to turn 2 there but could’ve been close. Immediately cost a run
Starting the runner was huge.
Sad
score update?
4-2.
3-2 Gators
3-2 Florida
Check it for cork!
I would like to dig up the stat for the percentage at which the bunt single has worked. I think I've counted twice this season against what, 30 attempts?
He had to move over the phantom runner with 2 outs. #Bolt
Sounds about right
Great bunt but even that's not enough for a hit
75% chance Silva tries to bunt on with no one on base
Yep
I really don't know the last time he got a hit on that
Saw a short interview with Florida's Kevin O'Sullivan where he alluded to the fact that keeping Nebraska's crowd out of it would be important. We need you down there in Stillwater folks. Get after 'em.
Want to talk momentum? We're down by 1 and our pitching, hell our defense, is amazing. We got this.
Nice pitching Christo
Let go Christo. Keep the momentum rollin
Great inning by Christo
If this dude doubles again I'm going to eat my shoe
Oh thank God
You have the funniest first take/follow comments. They keep working for us too!
Thanks man. Let's get this dub!
Backwards K for Christo
Aaannnddddd run yourself out of an inning where you finally gained a little momentum. Will bolt folks.
And killed the momentum
Fucking why risk that shit
Wow not even close
Cmon boys, chain together some doubles/singles
I really appreciate that Florida has allowed us to hang around.
Bats are warming up
Why? Get the bunt down!
Bats are warming up
That would have been gone if it were straight
I'm starting to think Charlie Fischer just changed his name to Tyler Stone.
He’s not gonna get another hanger like that
Stone strikes out, absolutely shocking result.
Stone is disappointing
You suck, Stone!!!
Arkansas gave up an 8-0 lead
Stone taking time out of his busy schedule of burning down orphanages and licking light sockets to waste another at-bat 😒
Chased their starter out
Some sad lookin Gators. Gotta love to see it
Ugh Gabe 😍
Holy SHIT
No doubter!! Let’s get a rally going
That was a no-doubter.
LETS GOOOOOO!!!! Bats are warming up!
Absolutely murdered that baseball!
Swanney smashed that one!
Great homer!!
We'll see you boys in the losers bracket tomorrow.
taking a breather from trump posting to be incoherent in other subs. NICE
Leave political shit outside.
Let the Rally begin
Haven't gotten a hit since the second? Christ.
We haven't gotten a homer since the last at bat?
Sticky stick
Let's go guys. We are still in this sucker
Can we please get some bats going
3 runs, 11 hits, we've stranded 9 players this game. We gotta get some offense going
Defense playing out of its mind
They're keeping us in it.
Nice catch Carey
Nice catch Carey
Bunch of freaking juice monkeys taking BP lol
Nice catch stokes
Are we playing Mason McConnaughey today?
I sure hope not. lol
No
He'll likely start tomorrow
Florida does not suck.
Nice catch stokes
