HuskersNside Announces Plans for 2005 Baseball Season

Lincoln ? The HuskersNside staff announced Wednesday that nearly every regular-season game in 2005 will be carried live or tape delayed on HuskersNside.

For the third straight season, HuskersNside will be the place to follow the Huskers throughout the 2005 campaign, as Head Coach Mike Anderson and the Huskers chase their sixth NCAA Regional appearance in the last seven seasons.

After broadcasting almost 50 games in each of its first two seasons, HuskersNside will carry nearly every game ? both home and away - this spring.

While Nebraska’s series-opening weekend from Hawaii is now available in HuskersNside’s extensive video archive, live coverage of the 2005 campaign begins this weekend when the Huskers travel to Houston, Texas, for the Crowne Plaza/Rice Invitational. All three games will be carried live, including Saturday’s matchup with seventh-ranked Rice, as HuskersNside will bring live video streaming to your desktop.

In addition, HuskersNside will provide extensive highlight packages from the road, including interviews with NU coaches and players, which will be available following every trip this season. All of the highlights and video-on-demand will be available shortly following each road series, giving fans an up-close look at the Big Red.

When the Huskers are at home and you can't come out to Hawks Field, enjoy nearly every pitch at your desktop, as every regular-season home game will be video streamed live from Hawks Field. From the home opener with South Dakota State on March 11, to all the Big 12 action, including games against Texas, Oklahoma State and Baylor, HuskersNside will be your exclusive home for Husker baseball.

In addition, the site will have highlights and interviews with coaches and players following each game. While newscasts can only show between 30-45 seconds of highlights and interviews, HuskersNside packages will include every major play along with extensive interviews of players and coaches.

From the start of practice and throughout the season, HuskersNside will be there with player interviews and features, reports from practice as well as the Husker Baseball Show, a half hour weekly series devoted to NU baseball that begins in late March.

All of the offerings are set up for broadband (Cable Internet, DSL or Satellite Internet) connections, providing video steams at anywhere from 300 to 750 kbps for subscribers. There are currently two ways to sign up for the service - a monthly rate of $9.95 per month and a special annual rate of $89.95 if you sign up by Feb. 28, by logging on to Huskers.com.

This would give you access to HuskersNside through February of 2006, which would cover the rest of the winter and spring sports, as well as the 2005 Husker football season. On the Huskers.com main page, there is an opportunity to sign up for a 15-day free trial on HuskersNside, where you can see some of the offerings and live events that are available.
