Colorado will need a new head coach

Mark my words - Coach Prime at Colorado will not work out

He may be getting them to be occasionally bowl eligible - but that is best case scenario

So many factors involved - But long story short - We will look back at all the content being put out there of him and his comments right now in a few years and cringe

Side note: why is it that not a single person on national TV covering sports has mentioned a single doubt over the future of Colorado football program? Reminds me so much of when we hired Scott Frost.

Q. Who is going to win the Big Ten?

A. Indiana

Indiana is 7-2 and has already beaten OSU 3-0, PSU 2-1 and Iowa 2-1

They have five opponents left,
@ Illinois (3-6) who could muster just one win each v us and Michigan and who lost their NW series.
Maryland, toughest opponent left but Indiana will be home for this series.
@ Northwestern
Purdue
@ MSU

I'm not say they have a lock but they do have a big lead and not many losses left on their schedule. Nice schedule, Hoosiers. No Nebraska, no Michigan, no Rutgers.

I know, I know, way too freakin' early to be crowning a champ but, I'm saying, Indiana has jumped out to a sizable lead and not a whole lot of obstacles left.

From Kansas City Royals home page:
Zack Greinke becomes the 5th pitcher in history to strike out 1000 different batters!!!
Meanwhile back at the ranch the Royals are 12-30 (.286) and 11.5 games back in a .500 Division as Zach comes back home for retirement. I guess they need something positive to talk about.

Baseball Nebraska caps off sweep over Penn State with 8-5 win on Senior Day

Another great day for the Huskers. With Nebraska sweeping Penn State and Illinois losing its series to Rutgers, the Huskers have clinched a spot in the Big Ten Tournament. Hit the link.

Baseball Live Thread Game 50 FINAL: Nebraska 8, Penn State 5

It's Senior Day 2023 for the Nebraska baseball team today as the Huskers celebrate 10 seniors that will take part in the pregame ceremonies before first pitch at 11:02 a.m. on ESPN2. The 10 that will be honored is Griffin Everitt, Shay Schanaman, Efry Cervantes, Kyle Perry, Jake Bunz, Casey Burnham, Mason Ornelas, Micheal Garza, Charlie Fischer and Luke Sartori.

In terms of the home finale, the Huskers will look to complete the sweep over the Nittany Lions. It was a much closer affair between the two squads on Saturday as Jace Kaminska completed his fourth quality start at home by allowing two runs in seven innings while striking out a season-high seven strikeouts. Throw in three RBI from Cole Evans and Nebraska locked up the series. Here's that recap from last night:


It was much different than Friday as the Huskers rolled over Penn State as the NU offense plated 19 runs on 16 hits including the team-leading 20th home run from Brice Matthews. Here's that recap:


Today, it'll be LHP Will Walsh (3-2, 4.41 ERA) vs. Jordan Morales (3-1, 4.93 ERA). Morales made the start against NU on Friday where he allowed two runs on three hits in 2.2 innings before being taken out for ace Travis Leunsmann.
