Please text or call, as always, 402-464-5-6-8. Check us out on Twitter slash X, Facebook, YouTube, Al-961 worldwide. We're talking baseball, softball. and more. We got a text here coming in from unnamed text or says,

what were your thoughts when Huster baseball fans at the Saturday night game versus Ole Miss were on their feet screaming so loud, you could hear each other with, no one could hear each other with the base loaded and the Huster's truck out to end the inning. That was the turning point in the loss. The crowd noise backfired. I was there, Rudy, and I'm telling you, I mentioned on the show this morning on early break.

A lot of people at that game that probably don't go to baseball games very often. They're football fans. and you could tell that was a football vibe. Like it was, it was loud for a baseball game. Not, not the Cal Bells, Mississippi State or,

you know, places like that, just pure loudness. And yeah, that moment was a miss for the press. They had one out, bases loaded, struck out,

and then grounded out to end the inning. And that was the ultimate thud, followed by the pop-up dropout, the drop the next inning on the third base side. So, yeah, that was unfortunate. it. And that definitely did change the game.

Yeah. And I think, too, as a hitter, obviously you try not to have that affect you. And I'm not saying that's what this texture is trying to get at either. But to be able to have that environment behind you, you know that the moment is as big as you want. And I had mentioned it too. It looked like maybe a walk was trying to be searched for there. And maybe that might have been the idea there. Because a walk would have brought in a run, sure. Right. I mean, with the full counter, I believe it was full count. Either way, yeah, full count there, you got to be looking to do damage. you went yard earlier in that, I mean, in that same game.

So, I mean, I wish the hitters were a little more aggressive with runners on base because, again, very different level of baseball where we played compared me to them. But the ideology is always the same. We have similar coaches now with Jeff Christie down at Westlain. And something he always harps on is runners on scoring position. You're trying to get that first pitch or at least that first strike close to you and try to do something, make it happen quick because realistically, the pitchers aren't going to give you too many pitches to hit.

And base is loaded or at least just with runners on base to begin with. and it didn't look like that approach was kind of there. It didn't look like the aggressiveness to bring those runs in were there. And I'm not too sure what the idea was there at all. I'm not saying that that was a lackadaisical approach or anything either, but it didn't look like that aggressiveness was there when it probably should have been for those. Well, here's the deal, though. If you look at the stats for it was Taylor Rape, the pitcher for Ole Miss.

And I think coming into the game, Rudy, he was like 80 strikeouts and nine walks. Like the guy does not walk. He did one or two walks. He was not going to probably lose his cool in that situation. And credit to him, he did not lose his cool. out of the inning without any runs allowed. But I love the crowd. I thought it was an amazing atmosphere.

Shout to the fans that were there that either are regulars or aren't regulars because they brought the energy. And that's what you want to see at these regionals. I saw a game last night, Rudy, that also had unbelievable energy. It was the comeback for West Virginia against Kentucky. Do you see the stance for that? I did. Yes.

That is such a beautiful site. The stands are packed. It's an epic comeback. You're seeing them just go crazy. And that is the power of these hosting regionals at, you know, the top 16 seeds. It's beautiful. Yeah. There are some people with the tarps off behind home plays too going crazy.

And again, I think that's kind of the thing that always comes down to it. BetMGM is an official sports betting partner of the National Hockey League and has everything for the action on the ice.

BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming ontario for me at least as someone who's now being added to the husker culture here in the husker fan base now as time's gone on it's just it's tough to see because we have the fan bases that are unlike any other and i'm sure if we would have had a walk off home running there haymarket downtown would have probably been on fire it would have been insane oh yeah but it's just we we kind of run into the same thing where the crowd's always there the crowd's doing it all and then the result on the field whether it's a good win or i mean a good loss or a blowout the the the result sometimes does not match the crowd level.

And I think that's just kind of the idea with some of our sports here. And I wish that would be the case to not exist because, again, hosting a regional was a huge goal for this team and us fans. And we get it. The fans are there packed out and everything. Something with the Big Ten tournament, the crowd was insane. But again, we just kind of fall short and the fans are just left kind of there

with all the energy and everything. But again, we're not on the field. We can't control what happens outside of that. True. So off the text line, 402, 4, 6, 4, 5, 6, 6, 8. the Sarder Hamon Juller's text line, by the way. Thomas says, which lost hurt the most? Baseball, softball, or basketball, and why?

Okay, well, two of those losses were to rival teams. You lost to Iowa in the Sweet 16 for basketball. You lost to Texas in the World Series, of course, elimination game yesterday for softball. And you lost to Arizona State. So I'm going to say baseball is probably the least painful because you weren't in the World Series and you weren't, you know, in the sweet 16 like basketball was. Very painful sucks because you're hosting a regional, but that's probably third most painful. I have to say it's basketball.

It's the fact that you were, you led for 38 minutes of that game against your rival, against a team that was the ninth seed or the eighth, whatever, the eight or nine seed, Iowa. You were favored. You had a great first half offensively and they, and so did they, unfortunately. but you led for 38 minutes. You have the timeout confusion with four guys on the court and you lose that game to go to the elite eight. Basketball is the answer here.

But softball, very painful. The fact that you had a no hitter going. Thanks Connor for breaking that up, by the way. Producer Connor jinks that. If you missed the morning show, yeah, a quick note on that. Wow. I'm sitting at the baseball game. And I get a text.

It's from Connor. the group chat with me and Sip and Bill. And it says, not sure if you guys know this, but she already has a no hitter going. I said, are you serious? Wow. Yeah, not like, not like, I didn't know. Yeah, we knew that.

You don't say it out loud. Guess what happened, Rudy. Yeah. 20 seconds later. Hit, hit, home run. Yep. Game over for Nebraska. Yeah, I also hate it.

Obviously, I know you're at the baseball field, but because I had it on the, on the computer here just watching it. And I hated how much ESPN also had the graphic up about the no hair. You're just trying to chinks us. Exactly. And I said it on air. You're trying to chinks us. Exactly. I said it on air. I was like, we don't need that.

SPN. We do not need that right now. I was like everyone's aware of what's going on. And I didn't have the audio on because I was on air, but I'm sure the announcers were talking about it. And I said it. I was like everyone who's involved in baseball, everybody this, like you don't do that. Unwritten.

Yes. Yeah, you don't say that. You just let it be. But they probably wanted to root against Nebraska's why. Yeah. That's the issue. Yeah, I'll not take it, but I understand it. But yeah.
