Catch up on the last weekend in Nebraska Athletics

For Nebraska Athletics, mid-February is the intersection between programs in the stretch drive of their respective seasons and programs that have just left the launching pad. Such timing creates an opportunity for Tuesday night’s Talk to the Director of Athletics February Radio Show.

Nebraska Director of Athletics Shawn Eichorst, pictured above, will cover the bases in Tuesday’s first segment from 7 to 8 p.m. CT with host Greg Sharpe, who will call four Nebraska-BYU baseball games Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Peoria, Ariz. Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman will join Eichorst this week in alumni events in Arizona and then California, along with leaders representing the Nebraska Foundation and the Nebraska Alumni Association.

In his monthly radio show, Eichorst will talk about Nebraska football recruiting dinners held in Lincoln, Omaha, and Kearney, with Columbus yet to come. He also will share his thoughts about the Husker men’s and women’s basketball teams entering the home stretch, while Nebraska baseball and softball programs begin their 2015 seasons with similar No. 1 goals – qualifying for the College Softball World Series in Oklahoma City and the College Baseball World Series in Omaha.



In her 23rd season, Rhonda Revelle, Nebraska’s all-time winningest coach, will be featured in segment 2 of Tuesday night’s radio show. The Huskers are a talented, but inexperienced team that welcomes eight newcomers on a roster that already has tackled one of the nation’s toughest schedules on the road. The Huskers have played 10 games the past two weekends in New Mexico and Florida. This Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Coach Revelle’s team will play San Diego State, LSU, Tennessee, Oregon State, and UCLA in Cathedral City, Calif.

Guests for segments 3 and 4 this month are Nebraska Head Bowling Coach Bill Straub and two-time first-team All-American Liz Kuhlkin. Straub coached the Huskers to four NCAA championships in 2004, ‘05, ‘09, and 2013. A senior from Schenectady, N.Y., Kuhlkin received the 2013 NCCA Championship’s Most Valuable Bowler award. Current No. 1-ranked Nebraska was the NCAA Tournament’s runner-up team in 2014.
