Sign Up Now!They don't get any freebies?Burning 2 redshirts 28 games in to the season is absolutely unacceptable.
Pitching staff with 12 BB's & 3 HBP thru 6 2/3 innings. Good lord, Childress.
They don't get any freebies?
That's unconscionable
Brutal
I knew it was bad but I didn’t realize it was that bad
I saw we go after Christian Ostrander, probably could afford more the sourthern Miss. But may be hard pulling him out of the south.Disgustingly bad. Erstad owned them from 2012-2017 till his last 2 seasons where he went 1-5. And it's carried over with Bolt.
Dannen can't be taking this shit much longer. $2M buyout is next to nothing to absorb.
$2M with 25 home games and an average attendance of 4,424 average attendance = peanuts to make it up. We'll find out soon enough how he actually values baseball. No Regionals in 2025 = new staff. It should be this simple.

No Nebraska ties, not the Nebraska way
Christian Ostrander
Dan Heefner Marc Rardin
USM is looking to fill a minimum of 22 scholarships and they have an approximate NIL of $1.5M/year. He'd take 1 step in to our facilities and ask, "What the fuck is this!?" IIRC, his base salary is around $280,000 so ya we can afford him - the question is, does he want to take a lateral move with how things are, currently in Lincoln?
(FTR, I'm a yes for him)
Nebraska is looking to *maybe* fill 18 scholarships, still without guidance from the B1G, and an NIL budget of $0.
Heef turned down an interview with aTm last summer, but he's gonna accept one with Nebraska? He's my #1 by far, but I can't imagine any scenario where he'd make the move (and I'd love to be wrong). Osborne interviewed him back in 2011 and he wanted the job. DVH gave 2 recommendations, Heefner & Bolt. Osborne interviewed both, plus Erstad. Oh what a story that is...
I don't know if Rardin would take it. He has some serious animosity towards us. WKU has a facility upgrade going on right now so again, Nebraska would have to actually commit to something. It's not just all about salary, especially for Marc. And he's a different cat, not sure how he'd get along with anyone (his way or the highway, literally). I'd bite my tongue if he's running the show though, dude is a winner & he'd be a HR hire.
Bottom line - Nebraska will have to make an actual commitment to baseball to nab a quality name.
I wasn’t saying that either would come here. It may have been you I remember reading saying that Heef was interviewed for this job and we passed on him. He was my top choice back then.
DBU currently IIRC outspends us on baseball.
