Understandably a lot of skepticism around the hire. Either way, I think it's cool. Funny too... he's trending on Twitter.

All your Erstad cards are belong to me

Good for him! Also Will Clark's hat bothers me in your sig. I don't think a 10 gallon cowboy hat would sit that high on his head :lol:

This should help my Cape League team develop a relationship with Nebraska.

Dr. Tom hires one of his former players.

Erstad was not a player from Husker football team, where Tom was the coach.

We already had talked with him about getting some guys from there since he was helping the program out before now. He played for us in I think 1994.

He most certainly WAS a player on the Husker football team under Tom Osborne.

I stand corrected, didn't realize he was a Punter.

Yeah, I have one of his Cape bats and a few other items from his time there. Speaking of... I had contact with Dan Dunn (?) about his game jerseys. If you know anything about that, drop me a PM. Thanks!

Awesome.

On a side note, I'm guessing there should be some very cool memorabilia to chase!

its a great signing... and short term actually immediate impact... this could play well into the courtship for a 2 sport kid with 1st round baseball potential! cause who could explain the life of a 2 sport husker better than a 2 sport husker with 1st round potential?
