Planning on it - the home opener, that it. Mizzou's opener is in Florida, so I won't be making that. But the home opener is March 4th, which means there's a very good likelihood Columbia, MO, will get a foot of snow on the 3rd. If not, I'll be there....

FYI, it was announced today that Tim Jamieson will be returning as head coach for 2015 [link=(http://www.rockmnation.com/2014/5/21/5738794/simmons-field-head-coach-tim-jamieson-to-return-for-2015-season)]http://www.rockmnation.com/2014/5/21/5738794/simmons-field-head-coach-tim-jamieson-to-return-f...

The offensive numbers were very similar between the overall season and the SEC season: Overall/ SEC BA .245 / .247 HR 12 / 15 SLG% .322 / .351 OB% .338 / .336 There was a spurt in power during SEC games, but a lot of that is, I think, attributable to timing, that the offense started gettin...

A very large number of Mizzou fans and students barely know MU has a baseball team. And if they do, they have preconceived notions about it, the whole aluminum-bat/inferior-baseball/club-sport attitude. Mizzou Baseball and college baseball in general have not been adequately promoted or advertis...

Missouri is the Show-Me State, and the Mizzou Athletic Department will have to see proof that fans will show up enough to need a larger capacity. Past Years' Regular Season Home Attendance 2012: Average 824 2011: Total: 13,334; Average: 476 2010: Total: 19,310; Average: 715 2009: Total: 23...

What you don't get is that last night's attendance will likely be in the top 10 for the year at Taylor Stadium. Given the cool weather and it being Spring Break (few students around), the only reason the crowd was that good was because we were playing LSU. The 2012 average attendance was aroun...
And I would like to apologize for the lousy video feed. They use one camera and point it from behind the net. Speaking of the net, it hasn't been replaced since the stadium was built in 2000, and depending on where you sit it feels like you're watching the game through a geriatric hooker's fishnet...

I did indeed mean Mizzou Baseball, not Baseball in general. My gripe is with the overbearing negativity of so many Mizzou fans, always ready to expect the worst, take the worst view of everything, and portray a negative view of Mizzou to outsiders. I was not referring to you, reedus. While we d...
