I just updated my new billing info and changed password. cant get on. Can you help ? It's lonely here !!
They are back and forth between a 2 and 3 seed (not that it matters because they play each other first anyways) so who knows. They have also been projected from Stanford regional to Corvallis to Louisville to down in Texas.

I'm assuming he's talking about regional placements... may be better to be a 3 seed in an easier regional than a 2 seed in a harder one...
There isn't any easy regionals. We just happen to have won our conference... So I imagine that helped get us a 2 seed, would you rather have had Nebraska not win the conference.
Sorry, no dog in the fight. Just trying to explain where he might be coming from. What is Oregon State as an overall seed? I know there aren't any easy regionals, but some are going to be more challenging than others, no?
Not saying we would have been better served not to win the conference. You're projecting that where it wasn't said.
The real question is do they keep Erstad around long enough to coach in the regionals or do they relieve him of his duties now and go with an interim coach for the tourney
I guess if you're looking for a positive in us being sent to play the best team in the country-at least we are somewhat familiar with them having played them twice already this season(losing 10-1 and 5-2).
If that scoring trend continues we'll beat them 4 - 2.5 Winking
Probably not a big deal as far as the Huskers are concerned - but how on God's green Earth did Yale and Holy Cross end up in the same regional, when they played each other six times in the regular season?
I wish I had time to look at all the schedules to see which regionals have the most number of regular season rematches. Throw in our 2 games against Oregon State, and the Corvallis regional seems like strange repeat first-round matchups.
Maybe the NCAA wants both teams to take the same plane to save money so they can eventually give it to the student athletes? They will probably refuel in Lincoln and pick up the Huskers to help with this effort.
Oops I meant to say that the savings will be used to pad the end of the fiscal year bonuses for the NCAA Executives. Winking
I'll go out on the limb and say that the Corvallis regional leads the pack in this category, though I'm not going to look it up either.
Question: since NU is playing Yale this week, are we required to refer to our players as Ben Miller '17, Jake Meyers '18, Mojo Hagge '20, etc.?
