The Nebraska Baseball team owes a big Thank You!! to the Missouri Tigers ball team for taking 2 out of 3 in Waco, Tx this weekend. That in itself was impressive indeed. Going into this weekend Nebraska was 2 games out of 1st. They needed to sweep Kansas St.(Which they did) but had to have some big help from Missouri and sweep Baylor in order to win the Big 12 outright. A most improbable senario. That the Tigers were able to take 2 from Baylor and win the series was more than I could have expected or hoped for. But by virtue of Baylor losing 2 they allowed Nebraska to tie for the Big 12 lead. AND since Baylor lost 2 out of 3 to Nebraska in a series earlier in the season Nebraska wins the Big 12 Conference Championship. So, being the Husker Homer that I am, my hat's off to the Huskers. 2005 Big 12 Champions!!!.

Not to mention that Creighton has won the Missouri Valley Conference crown and my old school, the University of Nebraska at Omaha won the North Central Conference to boot!!
All in all not a bad year for Nebraska baseball.

But it doesn't mean squat after Tuesday. The Road to Omaha begins Wednesday.

I would love to see both Nebraska and Creighton advance to the College World Series. It's a long shot but it could happen. But only if they aren't placed in the same regionals or super regionals. And they both manage to win both tournaments.

I know... No one gives a shit about College Baseball or Nebraska here on the Planet but maybe a couple of us Nebraskans. But Nebraska is a big Baseball state. And Damn It!! We've had a damn good year all around!!

Hell I don't think that has ever happend before. That is, all three schools winning their conference championships at the same time.
