The game is tied 3-3 right now, top of the 7th.

I heard Scherzer (sp) won't be pitching at all this series. Anyone know why? Pitt Gorilla?

Wichita State is getting pounded by KU.

Is this the end of the line for WSU baseball?

My Devils are up to tenth in the country after splitting with Oklahoma and sweeping Penn State. I got to see the win against Oklahoma in the St. Pat's green hats and socks.

Probably, they are going to put all of their effort into Basketball now. It is going to be tuff remaining the top Basketball school in Kansas since KState hired Huggins.

Heh.

Which reminds me, when I was watching the local sports in Wichita, they were saying something like that Turgeon is high on Oklahoma's coach search list.

The Huskers got back on track today beating No Colorado 9-1 after losing the final game against Kansas Sunday, a game where they went 1-16 with men in scoring position. They lost 7-6. Yesterday was Freshman day when all the kiddies played and they lost to No Colorado 5-2. I guess today they got back down to business.

Elton John is gay!

I still don't think Creighton has lost a game since they opened with 3 straight loses. I'll check when I get home from school. But they have to be at least 16 or 17-3.

He seems to have dropped off the radar for the ASU search. That's too bad, I really wanted him. Oklahoma is a much more prestigious job, good for him if he can get it.

Things have really changed in Nebraska. Have the fans gotten behind baseball yet? When I used to travel to Nebraska, it was all about Big Red Husker Football.

I'd say so, ever since they moved to Haymarket Park in 2001 they've been drawing good, the place was crazy for the super regionals last year. They've taken over the CWS games that NU has played in the last few years as well.

We still like football too.

Nebraska historically has always been a big baseball state. They've always produced Div 1 talent but that talent always left the state when John Saunders was the HC at Nebraska. He alienated the HS and American Legion coaches. That all changed when he was fired and Dave Van Horn took over. Since then the Husker program took off when the instate talent stayed home instead of heading off to Stanford, Arizona St ect. ect. And is continuing with Mike Anderson the current HC. Creighton has always had a good pick of the instate talent as well. For such a small state Nebraska has a unbelievable number of players in MLB HOF. 20 some odd I believe.

I have always wanted to go to the CWS, someday I will. I used to go to the National Baseball Congress games in Wichita. Good times, you can watch baseball around the clock for a couple of weeks.

Which Football team do most of them follow now?
