Nebraska was not the better football team than Iowa last year, sorry. Nebraska was undermanned physically. Iowa physically dominated Nebraska. Hell, Minnesota physically dominated Nebraska.
OT: Iowa Baseball Team makes the BT Tourney 1st time
- Thread starter bugsbunny1
- Start date
I really did enjoy the thrashing Indiana put on Debbie today.
I still can't figure out why Nebraska fancies themselves a baseball school?

Nebraska is a school that supports a winner, as Alum-Ni has said the DVH-Big 12 stuff was kind of the perfect storm. What did they average at Buck Beltzer before DVH? 500 people?
He won, made supers...cws and people started showing up. They got a huge donation, built the new stadium and the success carried over with Mike Anderson for a few years. The problem with I'd say about 85% of Nebraska fans is they come out when they win and I think most other B1G schools would be the same. The problem is, you have the very vocal moron portion of their fanbase that runs their mouth, thinks they are "BACK" like in football, and has the entitlement concept about baseball that they do in football.

Because we won 40 games this season and are currently ranked and heading to the NCAA tournament for the 10th time since 1999, and have been to the College World Series 3 times since 2000.
Not Eye popping statistics, but it's quite the leap over Iowa baseball.
I can understand why you can't figure it out, Iowa's not good at baseball, and you probably don't know what it feels like to see your team take the field in Omaha, but it's fun trust me. But, when you make a run like Nebraska did in the years 2001-2005, that builds quite the fan base and support. It's actually really not that hard to figure out bud, and I know these facts bother you.
Indiana is doing exactly what Nebraska did in 01-05, and it's great to see another school in the Big 10 give a darn about baseball.
As has been said, DVH and the Big 12 were the perfect storm for Nebraska. Prior to 1999 Nebraska had made regionals in 1948, 1950, 1979, 1980, and 1985.
Iowa played in the CWS so yes Virginia I do know what it is like, Creighton has some BB history Nebraska not so much.
You bet husker fans would. We love all husker sports. We are spending 50 mil alone on renovating the Delany for volleyball. Last year we sold out every match, surpassing 8000 per game. We will soon expand to surpass 10k.
Nebraska is supported well by the fans. 90k+ for football, 16k+ for men's basketball, 8k+ for women's volleyball, smashing attendance records for men's baseball at home and the conference tournament, great support for women's softball and all the others. ...
and NU competes with Creighton for attendance in many sports. Creighton basketball had the 6th highest average attendance in the nation for bb. Creighton is also a good base ball, volleyball and soccer program. .. now we have Uno hockey which has become a very good program..
Omaha, and Nebraska loves sports. It is who we are. Yes, Iowa beat us head to head last year for the most part. And I concede the fact that Iowa won the 2013-2014 year. But that won't happen often.
like I have stated before I did not follow Iowa Baseball but I believe Iowa played in the CWS IN 2010, hopefully there is somebody who does can either confirm it or deny this.
this was Hellers 1st season has the HC and his team went 30-23 with 8 games cancelled and he is now 2-1 vs Nebraska. and this team will only get better, and he loses just 3 SR's off that team.

Thanks for taking the time to watch Nebraska in the championship game
They did put nearly 20,000 butts in the seat today to set a new attendance record for a conference tournament championship game for any and all conferences.
Husker fans pretty much single-handedly shattered the total conference tournament attendance record and Nebraska has one of higher regular season attendance marks in the country.

I said I did not follow Iowa Baseball but there wasa poster who mentioned Iowa in 2010 maybe that was when they played in the BT Title game or maybe it was just the BT playoffs
if it was the BT playoffs then Heller did it in his 1st season with a team that only lost 3 seniors off that team.

Wrong, like most of your post's you don't have all the facts.Anyone that thinks playing Indiana at home is tougher than playing defending B1G champ Michigan St on the road in football is equal is proof.
Here is some Iowa baseball history. Played in only one CWS in 1972 and have only made the Regionals 3 times.
scarlet you are bigger fool than I thought, Indiana is ranked 8th in the nation this year in Baseball and they beat your pathetic husker's to win the BT Championship
oh by the way they finished 1st in front of your pathetic team and they swept Iowa in comparison to your team losing 2 of 3 to Iowa, boy you sure are desperate to prove how superior you are to any team in the BT in every sport.
Indiana went 21-3 in the BT while nebbie went 18-6, Illinois went 17-7 1 game behind the pitiful cornhuskers. Minnesota and Michigan went 13-11, MSU went 11-13 while Iowa tied O$U for 7th with 10-14 records, O$U got the 7th seed because they won 2-3 from the hawks.

Kilroy...., get a clue and learn how to comprehend ...My God your pathetic.... And Re- read my post nice a slow or have your kids read it for you.
Home= Indiana= Football= Iowa
At = Michigan St = Football= Nebraska
Home= Indiana= Football= Iowa
At = Michigan St = Football= Nebraska
you sure do side step a lot don't you I posted information about Baseball and you flip the topic to FB, and there is no guarantee that MSU will be as good this year as they were last year just like there is no guarantee that Indiana will be as bad on defense this year as they were last year
Indiana will add 4 4* to their defense this fall. Indiana had the 3rd best offense in the BT last seasonand 2nd highest scoring team in the BT behind O$U. Indiana is getting better each year, that does happen, just ask Iowa fans that lived thru the 60's and 70's HF turned things around no reason another coach can't do it at Indiana considering the talent available in Indiana.

This pissing match is just stupid....
Iowa was decent under Duane Banks most years, hell they had 40 win seasons where they didn't make the post season. It was just the way it was back then with the Big Ten, RPI rules, etc....
Nebraska was a cellar-dweller before DVH and was fortunate to get him in addition to the Big 12 where you get an instant boost from playing Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech, etc...
It's just the way college baseball has worked until the recent RPI changes.

one more note on Iowa Baseball Iowa until this year had just 4 winning season in 24 seasons and just twice in 10, in 2010 they made the BTT, in Helers 1st season his team went 30-23 and made the BTT knocking Minnesota off in the double elimination format
Iowa loses just 3 Seniors from that team barring any players being drafted by a MLB team this team will be better next year as Heller signed a couple of JUCO pitchers with the most notable a Under Armor 1st Team AA as a SR coming out of HS.

I can't figure out how a fan of school that hasn't made an NCAA Tournament in 24 years thinks they know what does and does not constitute a "baseball school".
since Iowa fans concentrate on BB and FB, baseball became a after thought when a team loses that often they tend to forget it even exists,
after what Heller did in his 1st season the Base ball fans will come out,
Nebraska got 40 wins vs Iowa who got 30 and their 1st trip to the BTT in baseball which included 1 win in the round robin which knocked Minnesota out, this is why asked if a Baseball board could be created I notice several teams that do have one that are Rivals related.
maybe you can tell me where I can find info on Baseball recruits?

I know that a couple year run two or three coaches ago, doesn't qualify Debbie as a baseball school.
Just keep believing!
I know you're not qualified to know what a baseball school is period.
Just keep believing! Maybe sometime this decade, or even this century, Iowa baseball might sniff the NCAAs again.
This was not the first trip to the Big Ten Tournament for Iowa.The victory over Minnesota was not in round robin play; it was in the loser's bracket and thus eliminated Minnesota. Nebraska is the closest thing the conference has to a baseball school. Look at the attendance at Haymarket Park.
hey husker fan Neb is not the closest thing to a baseball team that the BT has.. Indiana is ranked 8TH Nationally in Baseball
that win over Minnesota was definitely part of Round Robin play as it was teamed Iowa knocks Minnesota out of the BTT
2010 was the 1st time since then which I noted. I also posted that the previous 24 years Iowa had just 4 winning seasons
quit spouting off about your superiority in every sport, you are fast becoming a mediocre team in them all.
Iowa FB 1-0 KF 1-2 since they joined the BT
Iowa BB 1-0 Fran 3-2 over all
Iowa Baseball 2-1 in Hellers 1st season
Indiana also goes into the regional with a #8 ranking and a 42-13 record
sorry nebbie fan you were a weak 2nd to Indiana in Baseball,

There really is no such thing as a "baseball" school in the B1G currently. I would say Indiana is headed in the direction to being more known as the class of the B1G than Nebraska. The Big 12 was what did everything for Nebraska in baseball, you get a HUGE RPI boost even with a losing record for playing in conferences like the SEC, ACC, Big 12, etc.... In the B1G you could go 40-20 and with the right loses you stay home. Nebraska had a lot of luck this year to win and kudos to them. It's not often you beat the same school FOUR times in the Bottom 9th. If they lost those four game, they could very well be at home right now. That is how thin the line is for B1G schools.
Iowa knocked out but Indiana plays Youngstown state, they are in the same region as Stanford vs Indiana St.
baseball is a very different animal regarding who is good and who is not
baseball is a very different animal regarding who is good and who is not
It's really not that difficult to figure out... Perhaps Bugs will come back again with the same argument???
With the people Iowa has returning in '15...plus what some have called the strongest recruiting class in the conference to date...a lot of folks think Iowa could be a favorite to win the conference next year. The NCAA's would be a given. So "sniffing" the NCAA's shouldn't be a problem.
One thing is for doggone sure: if Nebraska can do it, Iowa sure as heck can.
Nebraska is not a baseball school, keep dreaming but at the end of the day you are still not a baseball school.
Having a state host the CWS does not make the instate schools baseball schools.
Simply putting a team on the field doesn't make Iowa or Iowa fan an expert on what qualifies anyone to be a baseball school. Iowa baseball is equal to Iowa State football, probably even worse.
BTW...congrats on putting together just your third winning season since 2000 and just your seventh since your last NCAA appearance in 1990. Heck, you only have roughly 40 winning conference seasons in nearly 110 years of Big Ten baseball. Maybe you will actually reach the NCAA tournament again someday. Maybe.
Keep daydreaming that you even know what you're talking about.

Right, like putting on a Nebraska Baseball t-shirt doesn't turn you into a Nebraska Baseball fan but rather grants you access to the bandwagon.
after the 60's and 70's not many thought Iowa FB would have a winning season again, Hayden Fry showed and that all changed. since then they have played in 25 bowl games, the RB 3 times and the OB 2 times, something not many saw coming.
Heller very well could do the same for Iowa Basesall, and a 30 win season with a BTT bid to start off is nothing to sneeze at.
next in line would be a expanded stadium, and updates to the facilities to attract the fans and baseball players to Iowa, not sure how big some of the other stadiums are but Iowa's only holds 3,000 fans and from the ariel photos the ball park playing field is not that big.

Big 10 overall sucks in baseball.

The stadium does not need to be expanded and the playing field borders on large for a collegiate field. The hope is to one day move both softball and baseball west near the indoor tennis complex or renovate Duane Banks altogether.
moving it makes more sense, as then it could be designed to look more like a baseball stadium rather that a field surrounded by fences and the way the FB expansion keep coming they may have to,
do you know what the avg stadium holds for fans?
