Nebraska plays Oklahoma in a double-header starting at 3:00 pm this afternoon - the first of which will be broadcast on Fox Sports Net.
Then tonight we get the Spring Game televised on the NFL Network. The NFL Network is currently showing NFL Europa games. Not that I care, but it is football on in the background which is better than nearly every other sport on in the background.
Wow, what a day for spring sports! The only thing better than baseball and football on the same day is if they'd have scheduled it on the same weekend as a Texas baseball series at Haymarket Park like they did a few years ago. The Husker softball team is taking on Texas today. I don't know how many of you watch women's softball, but it's not like your lard-ass beer-drinking uncle's slow pitch softball, so if you're in Lincoln, get your butts over there and catch a game once in a while. Nebraska is currently leading Texas in the 3rd inning.
The Omaha Weird Herald has a list of things to watch for the Spring Game, including "A Boy Named Suh". I hate that moniker. There's just not much imagination in it, is there? Could we come up with something else, like "King Kong Suh" - something that describes his size and strength rather than an old country song that doesn't apply to him other than everyone knows it?
How 'bout "RunAround Suh" as in the old Dion song of the same name, because if Suh is going to be that good, teams are going to have to run around him, aren't they? More on this later, it's a long off-season after all.
Comments from the Spring Game are welcome, so onsider this a game day thread for all the above.

and we walk
the lead-off guy who's good at stealing bases.

Yesss!
Oklahoma's first two batters get on base with zero outs and then Nebraska's catcher Abeita catches the runner on second too far off the bag and he gets caught in a run-down.
Gets Nebraska out of an early jam. Next batter nearly hits into a double play that was a tie at first.

Watson
gets a K to get out of the inning scoreless.

1-2-3
again.
Texas has already defeated Texas Tech - a continuation of last night's game and they're already leading 5-0 in the top of the third in today's game.
#1 Vanderbilt beat Kentucky last night, 10-8.
Auburn beat the heck out of #3 South Carolina, 16-1 last night.
Houston upset Rice, 5-2.

Oklahoma
hits a high fly that Nimmo lost and then threw out at second. He then snags another high fly to center for the second out in the inning.

Abeita
is Nebraska's first base runner as he's hit by a pitch in the top of the third.

Oklahoma outfielder Newman
falls down trying to catch a fly to right, Abeita advanced to third.
Wehrle flies out to end the inning.

Oklahoma
1-2-3 - and we're to the top of the fifth.

Oklahoma
scores on a double, so 1-0 now in the bottom of the fifth.

Newman
Sooner Newman hits the ball, it hits the top of the wall and came back in play.
He nearly got picked off trying to pick up a triple. Oklahoma base running has been suspect today.

of the sixth, two outs.
Oklahoma has runners on the corners.
Watson still pitching.

terrible start for Bowman
from the play by play in the first:
- Davis, A. singled to right field (0-1).
- Ivey, A. walked (3-1); Davis, A. advanced to second.
- Reza, A. grounded out to 3b, bunt, SAC (0-1); Ivey, A. advanced to second; Davis, A. advanced to third.
- Mottern, R. doubled to left field, 2 RBI (0-1); Ivey, A. scored; Davis, A. scored.
- Baker, A. doubled down the rf line, RBI (1-2); Mottern, R. scored.
- Williams, J. singled up the middle, RBI (2-2); Baker, A. scored.
- Wertz, L. to p for Bowman, D..
The only out he got was on a sac bunt. I'm surprised, since he's pitched well up to this point. Wichita State is a better team than Oklahoma, and he held them to nearly nothing.

nice to see, though
that the offense has come through today.
Wertz has done very well, making up for it.
by Jon Johnston on Apr 15, 2007 3:50 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
funny
ain't it, that the Husker football team had a problem keeping a lead last season, and so has baseball.
Today against Oklahoma should prove there is one sure way to keep a lead - keep on scoring.

nice job
great to win this series.... look at those home games we have coming....
