[Battle-Donkey26]

Hard to feel good about that win. Game 1 was pretty bad.

 

[NU HZKRZ]

Huskers win, posters missing ITT, shocking.

 

[ButchCassidy85]

I don't often take credit for Husker wins, but when I do it's because I linked a sexy boobs gif in the bottom of the 3rd and completely changed the teams mojo.

Stay winning, my friends.

 

[dtippery]

Hard to feel good about that win. Game 1 was pretty bad.

A win is a win is a win. You take them when you can get them. Baseball is funny game and momentum comes and goes. Huskers can still win the series with a win tomorrow.

 

[huskerfan_12_05]

Go Big Red, need a series win tomorrow!

 

[tuffout33]

Don't be so miserable. Can't live life that way man.

 

[NJapbt]

All or nothing tomorrow, all or nothing.

 

[Battle-Donkey26]

Don't be so miserable. Can't live life that way man.

Oh trust me, I'm not feeling miserable. Just tired of seeing our baseball team struggle with garbage teams.

 

[ButchCassidy85]

A win is a win is a win. You take them when you can get them. Baseball is funny game and momentum comes and goes. Huskers can still win the series with a win tomorrow.

Sorry, but good teams don't subscribe to the "funny game" and "momentum comes and goes" excuses when playing a back half of the season series against a bottom third opponent.

NU needs to sweep these opponents and establish some post season pecking order. If they're a team whose wins and losses are still of the "funny game" and waffling "momentum" variety five years into the Erstad era then he's WAY out over the tips of his skis in Lincoln.
