Also, how are the NU football players doing at the combine. Purify is doing well.
This writer watched the NU baseball team play its double header at Stanford last Friday. Really hard to tell how good Stanford is, but NU has some good promise. Johnny Dorn was sensational and looked mid-season form. He did throw a lot of pitches for the first game(118). Dan Jennings pitched well also on Saturday and Sunday.
Offensively, DJ Belfonte looks like the real deal. He was 6-11 on Friday with five RBI's and a double. Defensively he played very well. Nebraska has a lot of hitters and hit well in the double header except when they faced Jeremy Bleich. Hopefully Bleich is an excellent pitcher because the Huskers struggled against him. When he left the game the Cornhuskers hit well.
NU played well considering they haven't been able to practice outside.
This writer had the opportunity to meet many of the Husker Sports Network personnel. Jim Rose is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He is a genuine guy who knows sports extremely well. Matt Davison is fun and can tell interesting stories without end. Greg Sharpe is very knowledgeable and is a really good guy. He will do very well in 2008 announcing Nebraska football. Lane Grendel is very good at what he does. He is an up and coming star. He told me that he owes a lot to Jason Hale, his former football and basketball coach at his high school in Iowa. Hale is now the head coach at Holdrege High School.
What are great bunch of people who leave their egos in check and care about NU sports!
