On the night when the state's two baseball powerhouses meet at Rosenblatt Stadium, Lincoln Journal Star columnist (and former Grand Island Independent sports editor) Jeff Korbelik writes that the Nebraska athletic department and Cox Communications "should have had their ducks in a row" before attempting to televise a Husker baseball game this season.The problems Cox Communications and Time Warner had televising a Husker home game more than a week ago could have been avoided, Korbelik writes, if the Nebraska athletic department had granted NET Television (home to Husker baseball for the past 25 years) permission to air the three home games it requested to go along with the Huskers’ two road games at Creighton.
He adds: "Cox also has had trouble selling the games to cable companies outside of Lincoln and Omaha. Two companies were hesitant to take the broadcasts because of technical and cost concerns. Another — Cable One in Norfolk — hasn’t even heard from Cox yet."

Incidentally, tonight's game can be seen statewide, in high-definition, on NET, beginning at 7 p.m. CDT.

I didn't get a chance to see the game. What did people think? Would love to have an HD set to catch some of the games, but is the picture quality that good to justify the money?
