Personally, I also found it a bit desperate to play the infield in in the sixth inning with the bases loaded. I could maybe understand bringing in the corners, but both hits were likely outs if Meidroth was playing back. It led to a huge inning instead of being down a run or two. Seemed too...
It would be really hard for me to root for Michigan. Also, it'd be nice to knockoff Nebraska and hand them their first loss. We owe them. That said, I haven't looked ahead at the schedule, so it's possible it would be better for us if Michigan won. But...yuck.
