Nebraska Baseball at Michigan State Friday Game Thread
Nebraska Cornhuskers (33-18) at Michigan State Spartans (23-26)
Location: McLane Baseball Stadium at Kobs Field, East Lansing, MI
Date/Time: May 17th at 4pm CDT
Head Coaches: Jake Boss Jr. (16th season, 432-393) & Will Bolt (5th season, 130-93-1)
TV/Stream: BTN
Radio: Huskers Radio Network, Huskers.com, Huskers App
Probable Pitchers: RHP Mason McConnaughey (6-3, 3.09 ERA) vs. LHP Nick Powers (6-4, 5.69 ERA)
Nebraska has achieved objective #1 on the weekend and clinched a top 3 seed in the Big Ten Tournament, which means they will play on Tuesday. That gives them an extra day of rest for the bullpen and potentially a lot of rest if they win their first game or 2.
Now for the primary objective. They sit 1 game back of Illinois still, but hold all tiebreakers. So any combination of 3 Purdue or Husker wins gives NU not only a tie for the championship, but the top seed in Omaha.
Michigan State has one consistently good pitcher on their staff, and he started yesterdayās game. They often have to win Saturday games 12-10 or in that neighborhood, and almost never win on Sundays. So Nebraska should feel good having McConnaughey and a hot Brockett in waiting.

Grand Island gallery serves as an outlet for Nebraska artists
GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (KOLN) – During a visit to Studio 10 Art Gallery in downtown Grand Island, we discovered art work on display produced by artists from all over the state.
We talked with owner Heidi Sack about her business. āIām showcasing statewide artists,ā Sack said. āThis is a place where they can display their work for the public. All of the artists in the gallery are either from Nebraska, or have some roots in Nebraska.ā The kind of media youāll find in the gallery ranges from pottery to acrylic and oil paintings. āPretty much anything you want to see out of art, youāll find here in the gallery,ā Sack said. āAll of the art in the store is for sale. The fun part about buying a local piece of art is, you will always have something totally different from anything else.ā
The building that Studio 10 Art Gallery is housed inside used to be a mortuary, then it was First National Bank. Then it was Gormanās menās clothing store, and since then, itās served as an art gallery for 25 years. The business is located in downtown Grand Island, and Sack says downtown an exciting place to be. āThere is so much going on in this area,ā Sack said. āThey are really building up Railside. There are fun activities, and itās just a great place for people to come and enjoy.ā
Gallery owner Heidi Sack has always had an interest in art. āI grew up in Oshkosh,ā Sack said. āI loved art from a young age. My mom was an artist. I also had an amazing art teacher in high school that was very supportive. Iāve always wanted to own an art gallery, and Iām blessed to run something like this.ā Sack has been operating Studio 10 Art Gallery since 2022. āMy artists spend a lot of time and talent doing what they love,ā Sack said. āThey need a place to showcase what they love to do.ā The Studio 10 Art Gallery is on this yearās Nebraska Tourism passport program, and Sack says sheās already seeing plenty of visitors thanks to the passport.

Nebraska lawmakers unanimously pass privacy law ā¢ Nebraska Examiner
In 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Americans have a right to privacy when supporting nonprofit causes. This year, Nebraska lawmakers unanimously passed legislation to implement that ruling and guard against privacy violations by state agencies.
The Personal Privacy Protection Act, included in Legislative Bill 43, prohibits state officials from going beyond existing law to demand or expose Nebraskansā personal information and donation records to nonprofits. The law ensures that citizens can safely and privately give to the causes they care about without fear of their data being leaked or abused by government agencies.
The rise of doxing and an increasingly heated political environment have raised awareness of the need to enhance privacy protections in current law. Nonprofits depend on the ability to protect their members when speaking out about contested issues in government and society. Every American should be free to join and support groups that advocate for their beliefs without harassment or retaliation.
State Sens. Rita Sanders, a Republican, and Danielle Conrad, a Democrat, cosponsored LB 43. The bipartisan legislation passed unanimously, without a single vote against the bill at any stage of the legislative process. On March 27, Gov. Jim Pillen signed the bill into law.
āI see it as really the right to associate with your fellow citizens, with your neighbors in support of causes that you believe in and free from government interference,ā said ConradĀ at a hearing on the initial version of the bill.
āI may support organizations that Senator Conrad doesnāt and the same may be true the other way around,āĀ said Sanders. āBut we both believe in protecting everyoneās right and freedom of speech, specifically by supporting nonprofit organizations privately and without harassment. This is something we can all agree on.ā
The law was also supported by a variety of nonprofit groups, some of whom disagree passionately on most policy issues. Among the supporters were the American Civil Liberties Union of Nebraska, Alliance Defending Freedom, Americans for Prosperity, Nebraska Cattlemen, Nebraska Family Alliance, People United for Privacy, Platte Institute, and the University of Nebraska System. Several groups testified in support of the bill as a vital protection for the First Amendment right to collective expression and the related right to associational privacy.
The Supreme Courtās concern for donor privacy is longstanding. In the 2021 case,
Americans for Prosperity Foundation (AFPF) v. Bonta, Californiaās attorney general demanded that all registered nonprofits in the state submit their confidential donor list to state officials. In striking down the demand, the Supreme Court pointed to a litany of previous cases defending the right to privacy in association.
In the 1950s, Alabama state officials sought to force the NAACP to disclose its membership list. The stateās demand
Ā was a straightforward and brazen attempt to smother the burgeoning Ā Civil Rights Movement in Alabama. Fortunately, the court struck down the stateās demand unanimously and ruled that Americans have a constitutional right to join and support nonprofits without being monitored by state officials.
NAACP v. AlabamaĀ was followed by several other cases further establishing the right to privacy in association. Yet, despite these rulings andĀ
AFPF v. Bonta, some state officials and activists continue to seek ways to compel nonprofits with missions they oppose to expose their supportersā names and home addresses. The goal is always the same: to name-and-shame donors, intimidate and harass them into silence, and ultimately, shut down groups they disagree with.
Nebraskans now have an additional layer of privacy to protect them from those harms. They are not alone. Eighteen other states have adopted similar laws in recent years in response to the courtās 2021 decision and growing concerns about personal privacy and political violence.
The bipartisan privacy movement in Nebraska and elsewhere is a hopeful sign for our country. The Cornhusker State now becomes a landmark in that movement through the unanimous passage of LB 43.
