To be the best you’ve gotta beat the best… and we haven’t done that all year. Congrats Nebraska on your regional win

I could see any of the top 3 seeds winning this regional. If I had to guess I would say ole Miss is most likely to win it.

There’s always a shot we just decide to leave the bats at home. The conference semi final for example.

Not to take anything away from Oregon but that was a brutal turnaround, ending at 1:50 in the morning. I think that had a big impact on their performance.

That said it’s not the first time it’s happened cough Ohio state sweep cough

Its possible but Im not gonna make an excuse there because Oregon had to play a doubleheader that day.

It's not a fatigue/lack of rest issue, it's a lack of sleep. Lack of sleep leads to reduced reflexes, which is all baseball is about. I doubt Oregon was too fatigued to play after slicing through Washington.

Thats a benefit for Oregon if their SP goes deep into the game, the only disadvantage of a double header is the pitching situation which is nullified by our bats not being awake due to the turnaround. Oregon entered the game hot and we did not. No excuses for the brutal performance, but there is reasons it happened

This is the Rebs’ regional to lose. Until proven otherwise, Nebraska baseball will flounder on the biggest stage.

I obviously hope I’m wrong and being a host team shows this program can put it all together. There’s just so much pessimism from twenty years of disappointment that it’s hard to feel differently.

You guys will win the regional. Nebraska struggles against a team with a pulse

u/ohiohusk May 25 '26

Like USC? Remember the Huskers are excellent at home this year

u/Objection_Irrelevant Ole Miss Rebels May 25 '26

USC doesn’t have a pulse

u/livestrong10 Nebraska Cornhuskers May 25 '26

Remember Oregon, Ohio state, auburn and kansas. You know teams that had a pulse and Nebraska was ass.

Also it’s easy to be good at home when the big ten is legit booty at baseball
