[00:00:00.250]All right.
[00:00:01.083]Thank you, Ben.
[00:00:01.916]Delighted to be joined by the chancellor
[00:00:02.749]of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln,
[00:00:03.900]Ronnie Green.
[00:00:04.733]And boy, champs have to be enjoying this baseball team.
[00:00:07.420]Off to a tremendous start.
[00:00:08.880]They put themselves in position to
[00:00:10.940]make a run at this league title.
[00:00:12.370]Obviously, some tough games coming up but,
[00:00:14.430]you gotta be excited about what you've seen
[00:00:15.960]so far from this team.
[00:00:17.920]That's absolutely right, Greg.
[00:00:20.252]To see us competing at the top end of the Big 10
[00:00:23.892]is wonderful
[00:00:25.320]and Coach Bolt and his team and staff,
[00:00:28.610]to see them coming on that way
[00:00:30.428]has been great.
[00:00:31.530]They've played well.
[00:00:32.426]They've got plenty of challenges left in the season
[00:00:35.390]against some of the teams at the top end
[00:00:37.730]currently up at the conference.
[00:00:39.250]We'll be excited to see
[00:00:40.900]how it plays out.
[00:00:41.980]And really excited to
[00:00:44.360]see our fans have the opportunity to be in person
[00:00:47.670]and to be in attendance in the stands of
[00:00:50.270]Haymarket Park.
[00:00:51.140]It's just,
[00:00:51.973]it's a good feeling
[00:00:53.183]to see the success our baseball team is having.
[00:00:56.477]Oh, no doubt.
[00:00:57.480]Well, we always hope that all the Husker teams
[00:00:59.080]are at the top of their game.
[00:01:00.150]And recently three UNL faculty members received
[00:01:04.340]special recognition for performing at the top of their game.
[00:01:07.490]What more can you tell us about
[00:01:08.980]some recognition of some faculty members recently?
[00:01:12.140]Well, Greg we've been really pleased
[00:01:14.273]even during the pandemic,
[00:01:16.410]that a number of our faculty have continued to be
[00:01:19.690]recognized nationally and internationally with big awards.
[00:01:24.280]And most recently,
[00:01:26.770]just this past week,
