In hindsight, it sets up a good pitching matchup between Cole and Flaherty. Arguably Cole’s biggest start of his career. I think Yanks get it done tomorrow night and then Dodgers wrap it up on Friday.
Hopefully the new owners do not try to move the team. I respect the Pohlads for trying to keep them in Minnesota. Besides that, they didn’t spend enough money to field a championship team in the 21st century. Our best chance was 2023 and we never built off of it.
I would have liked Brian to stay on as the offensive line coach like he was before, and he did a good job with the line. But I don’t think that Nebraska does well in a night game at Kinnick. Don’t get me wrong, Nebraska is a good team, but I don’t think Raiola can be composed for all four quarters. I bet he settles in after the first half, but Nebraska would need to get ahead in the first halve to win.
He’s built a great culture but his schemes on offense I think are outdated. I think either this year or whenever his contract runs out is when he will be done.
