Can you all just accept this is big 10 baseball? Everything about big 10 baseball sucks outside the occasional flash in the pan team.

Get over it and move on. Big 10 is a mid major in baseball.
It's about to get a lot better.

Saw this posted elsewhere, but relavent....

Team picked by every publication to be in the middle of the pack of a mediocre conference and nowhere near a regional spot while replacing their entire weekend staff, their closer and 2 of the best hitters in decades....is going to a regional as a 2 seed somewhere and 1 game out from first in the league after the coach retools his entire staff and brings in an ass load of talent with newcomers balling out...

Husker fans...."these coaches suck balls".

Not really. USC and ucla are a shell of what they used to be.
Oregon and Washington to fade if they have much?

Top high school kids don’t want to play in the big 10. Massive lack of exposure. BTN even refuses to show baseball when nothing is going on. Top Nebraska, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois etc kids are leaving the region because it hurts them to play here.

They're still names. They won't always be down. B1G will be the #3 or 4 league in the land next year after being #5 or #6 for the past decade (and #15-20 before Nebraska joined)

If we are not good at football, we are basically irrelevant in men's sports. Always have been. With the coaches we currently have nothing will change. Fans just accept it and drink the cool aid put out by the University and their mouthpiece outlets.

We would at least be king of the shit pile if we would get going on the baseball facility upgrades. We have a nice ballpark, that’s it. It’s nothing special anymore because we built it 25 years ago (it was one of the best at that time) and barely touched it since. At least they know this according to on of the other threads and have stuff in motion to work on upgrading. At least then we will have a better chance at keeping some of those kids.

Well, spending all this money on upgrading things to have average to below average teams' sucks.

The big 10 will go up a spot in the rpj just simply because the pac 12 will cease to exist.
Big 12, acc, and sec will still be the top 3 conferences for baseball.
Since 2020 the big 10’s rpi ranking
2020- 10th
2021 - 11th
2022 - 8th
2023 - 6th
2024 - 4th
2024 is the conferences best year by far but the gap between 3rd and 4th is huge. The gap between 4th and 8th is smaller and I’d bet on the big 10 dropping a couple spots because they typically fall during conference season.

USC and UCLA don’t really elevate big 10 baseball more than Nebraska did which has been marginal at best.
USC hasn’t been a baseball school since the late 90s and puts no money into it.
UCLA has been better this century than any big 10 team. They also suffer a fate of zero financial support. And once John Savage retires it could just collapse on itself.

That’s why I’m against it. Can’t even beat Pickle Smoochers and I’m pretty sure they don’t even have a field. Excuses for Bolt are out in full force lol
What excuses are being made? Or do you actually define success by midweek matchups against Pickle Smoochers?
