Van Horn took a non-baseball school, Nebraska, to the World Series. Nebraska is still sorry he left here -- he was a popular coach who related well to Nebraska fans.

re: Why was Arkansas able to defeat Tennessee ?
Posted by NebraskaExPat on 6/9/25 at 11:49 am
I think part of it is that Tennessee went into the games thinking they were so much better than anyone in the SEC.
No matter how good a team is, it's always dangerous to go into games thinking you're going to waltz your way because you're so much better than your opponent.
It's how low division schools will sometimes beat top teams.

It's good to go into the game feeling like underdogs.
It's not good going into a game feeling you're so much better than the competition you don't need to try.

Just play it in Omaha so all the SEC teams feel comfortable there in the World Series.

I left Louisiana for a job and ended up in Nebraska. Before the regional, Husker fans were sure they were in one of the toughest regionals since LSU would win it all. I haven't followed LSU softball this year, so I can't comment on whether or not the coach should be replaced.
More mess for college athletics

As if it isn't a mess already, the four power conferences are on the verge of making rules that will force universities to violate their own state laws.

What's the thought on how long DVH will coach? I see he'll be 65 this fall?
Nebraska would take him back even if he was 95. He took Nebraska, not exactly a baseball powerhouse, to the World Series. Yeah, we'd take him back.

ESPN?
5th inning, Nebraska pitcher strikes out the side for the 12th straight out, and the ESPN color commentator compliments the Lions for making the Nebraska pitcher 'work'.

re: What makes LSU's Kim Mulkey think about retiring? Raising money for recruiting players
Posted by NebraskaExPat on 5/7/25 at 9:07 am
Just five years ago, coaches would be fired and the school put on probation for openly meeting with boosters and asking for money to pay players.

Guess what? Nebraska ranked 15th in average crowd attendance at NCAA home BB games, even with the season they had. There were a lot of teams in the NCAA tournament that wish they had fans like that.

Does the tweet mean LSU was the first to do it this year?
I'm not sure, but I think it's been done by some other teams in the past.
I'll try checking.

LSU basketball has always been, at best, a lower half of the conference program that occasionally goes on a run.
This is what happens when an old person like me reads a post by someone younger.
Hey, there was actual life on earth before you learned to post on forums.
You have no idea what LSU basketball was like in the 70s and 80s.

Agreed. I have been to quite a few SEC stadiums, but this would have been my first time at Neyland. I'm sorry not to go.

I think a lot of people are concluding that Nebraska wanted out of a difficult series because a logical alternative wasn't provided. " We can afford half-a-billion for stadium renovations, but we need to make a few million back with an extra home game."
A few million. One home game is $12 million. That's quite a bit considering the new budget line of $20 million for paying players.

So you prefer a Nebraska homer , Sam Mckewon , for your
truth in reporting ? I think I understand.
You're going to have to do better than that. At least McKewon isn't lying about the reason for the change.
Everyone keeps ignoring the fact that it was Tennessee that said no to rescheduling the game.

Nice link to Matt Hayes opinion article. Yes, that Matt Hayes.
With the additional game of 90,000 paid seats, it's a little more than "a few million" gained from a home game. On top of that, there's the $20 million needed each year for paying players.
Nebraska doesn't have the advantage of a large population most other Big 10 or SEC teams have. The state's entire population is smaller than most other states' larger cities.

They will have reduced capacity due to renovations, but will still host all their other opponents. Legit excuse.
Hosting isn't the reason. The game at Tennessee was the problem. Nebraska was able to schedule a lesser opponent to come for another home game, meaning multi-millions in income.
