Nebraska Football: Avery Moss Charged With Public Indecency

2013-05-24T19:20:10Z

Nebraska solidified their Fulmer Cup campaign today.

(Note: Winning the Fulmer cup is bad)

Early Friday afternoon, Sam McKeown of the Omaha World Herald reported that Redshirt Freshman DL Avery Moss was charged with disturbing the peace and public indecency, both misdemeanors. Moss, who played 3 games for the Huskers last year before being lost for the season with a shoulder injury, pleaded not guilty to both charges. His bench trial is scheduled for July 23rd of this summer.

The charge alleges that Moss, 19, exposed himself to a female employee of the Knoll C-Store twice on December 15th of last year. The two incidents were four hours apart , according to the complaint.

Moss was then later picked out of a photo lineup by the person filing the complaint, therefore causing the arrests and charges brought on Moss. Avery and his attorney, Brad Roth, had no comment, as neither did Head Coach Bo Pelini.

It is rather interesting that this incident happened before the bowl season and is just now coming to light. This incident also casts shadows on a person that is going to be depended on to anchor a D-Line that needs all the help it could get after last season.

As always, if anything comes up, we will make sure you find out about it.

2013 Big Ten Baseball Tournament: Fighting For Survival

2013-05-24T17:00:06Z

Today's Schedule

12:05 p.m. Game 6: Illinois vs. Minnesota

3:35 p.m. Game 7: G6 winner vs. Nebraska

7:05 p.m. Game 8: Ohio State vs. Indiana

Michigan is already gone, and two more teams will be done by the end of today. Nebraska, Illinois and Minnesota will try to fight their way out of the loser's bracket and only one will survive.

At yesterday's postgame presser it was announced that Nebraska would start Christian DeLeon, but that has been changed and we will not know who the Huskers will start until the winner of Game 7 has been determined.

The reasoning is clear - Erstad is in this thing to win it all or go home today. If you think you can beat Illinois or Minnesota without perhaps your best starter (Kyle Kubat and Aaron Bummer have already pitched), then you might gamble and save him for tomorrow.

Be sure to hit up our photo gallery from yesterday (my ego needs a boost) and join us for today's game thread. If nothing else, let us know what you'll be doing for Memorial Day Weekend!

Most of all, GO BIG RED!

Ndamukong Suh rode the Zamboni between the second and third period of tonight's Stanley Cup playoff game between the Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks.

The big guy looks good back in red. But I want to drive the Zamboni too...

2013 Big Ten Baseball Tournament: Round Two

2013-05-23T16:58:30Z

12:05 p.m. Game 3: Illinois vs. Michigan

3:35 p.m. Game 4: No. 2 Ohio State vs. Nebraska

7:05 p.m. Game 5: No. 1 Indiana vs. Minnesota

Round two of the 2013 Big Ten Baseball Tournament begins just after noon today as the yesterday's losers meet in the first elimination game of the tournament. One will go home, one will live to fight another day.

Nebraska will take on the #2 seed Ohio State Buckeyes at 3:35 pm. Nebraska will start Aaron Bummer, while Ohio State will start Brad Goldberg. Goldberg has a 3.13 ERA in 74.2 innings pitched, with 62 strike outs, 42 walks, and is holding opposition batters to a .240 average.

Ohio State's strength is in their bullpen. The Buckeyes don't have a standout player per se, but they have a very good bullpen. Example: Trace Dempsey, who hadn't given up a run in 30 innings until he gave up two in the final game in the Indiana series.

KEY STAT: Ohio State is 32-5 when scoring more than two runs and 25-4 when outhitting the opponent. If Nebraska expects to win this game, the offense is going to have to get going and there will be little room for mistakes.

The games are being played at Target Field in Minneapolis, home of the Minnesota Twins.

All games of the tournament will be available on BTN or streamed on BTN2GO.com.

Nebraska Smashes Michigan, To Meet Ohio State Tomorrow

2013-05-23T01:10:29Z

The Nebraska baseball team routed the Michigan Wolverines 11-2 in the opening round of the 2013 Big Ten Baseball tourney just days after the Wolverines had embarrassed Nebraska 19-7 in the final game of the regular season.

Kyle Kubat started on the mound for the Huskers and had a no-hitter going until the seventh inning. By that time the Huskers were already ahead 7-0. Kubat went seven innings, giving up only a single hit while striking out six, one less than his career high.

Michigan pitchers would issue eight walks, six of which lead to runs. Pitcher James Bourque was called for a balk in the first inning that allowed Rich Sanguinetti to walk home from third.

Austin Darby had the hit of the game when he hit a double off the right field wall, clearing the bases to score three runs in the fifth inning. Darby would finish 2-for-4 with four RBIs. Third baseman Blake Headley went 3-for-5 with two RBI and one run, while Pat Kelly was 2-for-5 with a run.

Michigan didn't score until the top of the ninth inning.

In the early game, Minnesota beat Illinois 3-2 with a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning. Minnesota advances to play #1 seed Indiana Thursday night at 7:05 PM.

Nebraska will meet #2 seed Ohio State in the second round of the tourney Thursday at 3:35 PM. The complete bracket can be found here.

De-tasseling the Huskers, Episode 29: Thoughts on Moore, Baseball/Softball Postseason, More White Stripes?

2013-05-22T18:18:39Z

Greg and Brian talk about the weather in Oklahoma and Greg's desire to hang up on people who call the radio station asking if it's raining/there's power/schools have snow days.

Then the guys take your question: Should Nebraska adopt and play the White Stripes at home games? After that, we look into some bands and artist that fit the "red and white motif."

-----We interrupt this broadcast for breaking news from the NFL----

Brian gives Greg a brief overview of what happened when Nebraska faced Michigan last weekend and, oh yeah, the two teams meet in the first round of the Big Ten (not XII) Tournament today.

Big shout out to the Husker softball team as they travel to Oregon for a super-regional series with the Ducks.

Remember to send in your questions and topics each week so we keep the conversation more Nebraska-related. That's right...it's all your fault.

It is the slow season here for Husker athletics, so we will be doing more podcasts for you guys, as we'll be talking to different people this summer, getting their opinion about Nebraska athletics as well as the Big 10 and all across the NCAA.

Do you have something you want us to talk about? Well, watch the call on twitter from Greg (@thehooch36), CN (@CornNation) or myself (@btbowling) for the call for questions starting every Monday.
