With the odd number of teams in the Big Ten conference, (slowly turns to look in the direction of Wisconsin) each team has a weekend off during the conference season. Nebraska’s happens to come early this year, as we are just in week 2 of the slate. Most teams in major conferences are in their conference seasons as well, so finding a team to play a full weekend can be tough. Nebraska tried getting a team to come to Haymarket, and then tried to travel to another for a 3 game series, but both attempts fell through.
Nebraska was able to use its Texas ties with some of the smaller schools to talk Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Abilene Christian into letting us interrupt their 3 game series by playing each one of them in a double header on Saturday, April 1st.
