     After the loss yesterday the Huskers pretty much have to win 
today.  They need to win this series to have a whisper of a chance for a 
Regional.  It is also the only chance the Huskers have of finishing the 
in the Conference over .500.  It doesn't guarantee it but it gives them 
a chance. 


     I was listening to a sports talk show on ESPN radio (1620) out of 
Omaha on my drive Eppley Airfield to Lincoln yesterday afternoon.  There 
was a guy on there whose opinion it was that even if the Huskers would 
sweep the Kansas series they are only in the conversation for a regional 
and are not guaranteed a regional.  But, if they lost today they are 
probably history this year.  IOW losing this series would undoubtedly do 
them in.  If this was football they would be in a better position 
because then strength of schedule would enter in.  But, in baseball that 
doesn't factor in when the powers that be make their choices.
