Finally, another season of Nebraska Cornhuskers Baseball is here. I am so glad that this year I decided to actually pay attention to the beginning of the regular season. In years past with about any college sport (except Husker Football) I didn’t really pay attention to how the season kicked off for any particular team until I saw a game on television or heard it on the radio. It’s a bummer that I actually had to be at college to think about college sports more. So let’s get this article rolling by remembering the glory days.
In the year 2000, the Cornhuskers won the Regional and then made the Super Regional for the first time ever in which they played the Stanford Cardinal and lost two out of the three games played. The following year, Nebraska won three straight games in the Regional, won two more in the Super Regional, and made it all the way to the College World Series in which they ended up losing the final two games of the year.
In 2002, the Huskers won the Regional, defeated Richmond in three games in the Super Regional and lost to Clemson and South Carolina in the College World Series. In 2003, they won three games but lost two games in the Regional. In 2004, Nebraska lost in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament.
In 2005, Nebraska made it to the College World Series and finally won a game against Arizona State. In the winners’ bracket they lost to the Florida Gators and ended the season by losing to Arizona State. In 2006, 2007, and 2008 the Huskers were eliminated from the NCAA Tournament by losing in the Regional.
In 2009, Nebraska had 25 wins, 28 losses, and 1 tie. In 2010, the Huskers finished by winning 27 games and by losing 27 games. So to sum it all up 2010 looked like a good way to end the season—with a four game win streak. Oh yeah, Nebraska beat Creighton 21-5 to start that season ending streak.
I am looking forward to another season of Nebraska Cornhuskers baseball and I hope they win more games. Thirty games to win this season would be a good goal. It would also be nice to see them win Regionals, Super Regionals, and win two games in the College World Series if they cannot win the National Championship. I’d be satisfied with that result.
Here in 2011, the Cornhuskers started the season off with a loss. However, since then Nebraska has won three straight games for a current record of three wins and one loss. All games this season can be heard on the radio on the Husker Sports Network and all game times are Central Time.
