[personal] [Husker] Baseball Question

[Skylar Dodds]

Hello Husker Fans,

Great question.  As someone already mentioned, it does help boost
their RPI and a win against a top tier program is good publicity.  For
recruiting, makes the coach look good, etc.  Typically you throw your
ace against the toughest team you play that week.  For example, NU
threw Joba on Saturday and Dorn on Friday very early in the season
this year because they played a dormat on Friday and Rice on Saturday.

In addition, Northern Colorado was off for the weekend and didn't play
again until the Tuesday following, thus no need to rest their
pitchers.

MG> I have a question for someone in the know.  It seems that every time
MG> Nebraska loses or has problems with a mid-week opponent,
MG> I hear the above statement or something similar.   Why do the mid-week foes
MG> always throw their aces at us?  Don't these teams
MG> have week-end games of their own to save their aces for?
