Not to pile on, but Omaha played a three-game series against UCLA to start the season and lost those three games by a combined score of 47-2. Actually, that probably was piling on.
The sad thing is that Hughes arranged an absolutely pud non-conference schedule this year to pad the record and even that is probably not going to make a much of a difference. And, with the insane extension/buyout Mean Gene gave Hughes, we'll be enjoying at least another year of the Hughes experience.
