I had family stuff going on so I was on radio/TV delay all weekend. I just finished today's game. My $.02:
1. When are sports programs at the University of Nebraska--in particular, football and baseball--going to stop expecting to beat Iowa just by showing up? The Hawkeyes have seemed to want it more for about five straight years now and it is maddening. Schreiber's Friday tweet was confirmation this team expected to roll the Hawkeyes effortlessly.
2. Friday night really hurt. Blowing a three-run lead set the tone for the weekend on both sides. No lead felt comfortable the rest of the way. Somehow, Nebraska finally out-Iowa'ed Iowa with today's 8th-inning rally.
2. Jake Adams might be Kyle Schwarber part deux. I'll be OK with him turning pro and never having to face that guy again.
3. Disaster was avoided by salvaging a win on Sunday. Some of the goodwill by beating Maryland has melted away, though. MUST TCB against Creighton.
