Steven M. Sipple: When it comes to Erstad, the conversation has become wonderfully complex
Nebraska coach Darin Erstad (right) pats Cam Chick on the helmet after he struck out attempting to bunt against Michigan State in the eighth inning on March 22 at Haymarket Park.If many Nebraska baseball fans, especially the casual ones, seem confused by the tone of the conversation, it’s understandable.
Based on preseason expectations, one could say Nebraska (24-18, 13-8 Big Ten) is overachieving. Yes, overachieving. The Huskers trail first-place Michigan by only three games. The Wolverines (36-11, 14-3), who have won 13 straight contests, come to Lincoln next week for a monster series to end the regular season.
