Baseball Official 2026 Nebraska Cardiac Beaver Slayers Baseball Thread (43-17)

Would be a big benefit if this was allowed in the B1G
B1G umps would be butt hurt or would quit b/c their feelings can’t handle it.

Wife and I were at the Yankees v Orioles game this Saturday and ump was challenged only twice and he was right both times.

B1G umps would act like babies
 
We really fucked ourselves

 
Kendall punts us as the best 2 seed overall & in the Corvallis regional. (Oregon is 16 so we can't be in their regional as a 2 seed). I don't understand how he has Oregon as a host, their metrics are straight dog shit (27 RPI, 34 NC RPI, 99 SOS, 124 NC SOS).

5 B1G teams; 1 overall UCLA, 16 overall Oregon, 2 seed (#17) Nebraska, 2 seed (#22) USC, 3 seed Michigan. Purdue is listed as the 2nd "first four out"...

1. Oregon State
2. Nebraska
3. Gonzaga
4. Eastern Illinois

Who to root against?

Oregon. Remaining schedule is at UCLA & home v USC (make or break it for the Ducks)
Oregon State. Straight dogshit remaining schedule
Southern Miss. Same as the Beavers

I Dont Like It Ron Burgundy GIF


Don't like the Beavers at home...and yes, had I more time, I would make it more of a sexual related (Beaver) comment. But I don't have time, work sucks.
 
Way too many bigger names thrown out right now to have a better idea. One really hot name is Jack Dahm. From the list in that tweet, Rob Fournier intrigues me the most. He's not leaving Western Kentucky though for equal or less money. Fournier will need to hire someone with local ties, but his personal JUCO ties are off the charts & he has major experience recruiting the midwest. The second most intriguing is Connor Gandossy. He's hit or miss with local coaches, but I believe he has enough clout locally & well connected to JUCO's to actually bring enough talent to the program. He's extremely driven, with high energy.

Trying to get what the staff budget Omaha is offering for the new staff. This current academic year their total coaching budget is $175,960 for 3 total coaches. (The 4th coach; fundraising was done to pay him - not sure if that's public knowledge or not) Sorry, that ain't going to cut it to land a quality staff. They need to get it between $325,000 & $375,000 total; $150K head coach, $50K each for 3 assistants (only directly pay 2 right now) and around $40K for a DOP/DOO. You can likely get by with the 3rd assistant helping out the DOP/DOO but if they want to truly compete, they will need to increase their coaching budget.
my nomination - he was my roommate when he was a pitching coach at Morningside.

~30 wins a year at Ottawa
D2 HC for a year where he got UT Permian Basin's first ever tournament win
NAIA runner up in his first year at Southeastern (47-15) 35 wins vs ranked opponents

Great dude. No clue how he'd be linked to Omaha though haha

I'll take this a step further - we will replace Oregon State as a host IF we take care of business.

Here's what Kendall said yesterday...

but with an RPI in the Top 20, the Huskers are still very much in the hosting discussion. Did they absolutely hurt their chances over the weekend? Yes. Can they still host? Yes. But the margin right now is VERY thin.
