Audio is on, now

[CrnhskrBob]

Well, bottom of the hour, I'm switching to BTN Live Stream

[CrnhskrBob]

Senior circuit in golf is coming to Omaha next year. That should be fun, seeing the elder stars of the game: Tom Watson, Fred Couples, etc.

Wish I could be there, along with visiting Lincoln. Hmmm, might have to work on that.

[CrnhskrBob]

Trevor Adams not playing has affected the Bluejays. Seems, without him, they have struggled. Not very deep in talent, it seems.

[mjohnson]

Good evening all. Go HUSKERS.

[CrnhskrBob]

TD AmericaTrade will host the 2 remaining games of this series, April 24th and May 8th. Both games are on a Tuesday evening.
The first game there will start @ 6:35, the last will start @ 7:00.

[CrnhskrBob]

Good evening all. Go HUSKERS.

Hi, mj!! Glad to have early company. I'm switching to BTN Live bottom, of this hour. Listening to Sharpe and Co, now. Darin will be on in a minute.

[mjohnson]

I didn't realize just how young a team the HUSKERS have this season, looking at it in black and white really shows the youth of this team. This should certainly bode well for the future.

[mjohnson]

Hi, mj!! Glad to have early company. I'm switching to BTN Live bottom of this hour. Listening to Sharpe and Co, now. Darin will be on in a minute.
