A new Baseball Season is right around the corner. What do you think?

I think we will be playing in Cardinal Park again.

Yes. For sure.

I think it's less than 32 degrees outside... remind us when it hits about 65.

Good one....

I think I would like to see more of their games than I did last year, with Hoilman back. Does ASun.tv carry them all? Also - quick tangent - did they take away the monthly subscription option? All I've had lately is pay-per-view.

I signed up for the monthly at the start of basketball. I think the choice my not be available when you click on an event, but is available when you just go into ASunTV to subscribe. I remember not seeing the option when I first tried, but found it after searching around.

The schedule was released today. Really no big home games of note, and I can tell they were careful not to mention whether the games will be held in Cardinal Park or the new field that is still just mud.

The ETSU Baseball Schedule is a very good schedule. NC STATE, GEORGIA TECH, VIRGINIA TECH. These ACC Schools have very good baseball programs. Coach Skole tried to get Todd Raleigh to play us, but TENNESSEE doesnt want any part of us. This years BUCS Baseball team is absolutely amazing. I talked to the Tampa Bay Rays Scout back in the Fall when all of the teams were playing their respective World Series, and he commented on how much better the bucs team looked compared to Tennessee and other teams that he scouted. With Hoilman back, this is going to be a special year. ETSU was Nationally ranked in the top 10 in offense in all of Division I baseball last year, and they have recruited some great pitching pro prospects. This team has a chance to go a long ways if they stay healthy. The entire lineup is stacked 1 thru 9. There are no weak spots. These guys can flat out drive the baseball! This year is going to be a great year for our baseball team.

Tennessee's ego, prima-donna, pompous arrogant ways are beyond fairness. So ETSU is loaded in baseball...well then, Tennessee takes it's little baseball and refuses to play. What else is new? The deck is always stacked against the underdog.

When ETSU does get a shot...and upsets the Orange...oh how sweet it is. Nothing better than beating the multi-zillion dollar budget, finest facilities known to man...and kicking their rumpus.

ETSU will play Tennessee in baseball and basketball again...but my guess, it will be when the scouting report says Tennessee will roll. No question they will roll at payday time. When ETSU gets a shot...I've read the Bucs get just a small slice of the financial pie.

I hate Tennessee...but it also makes the rare ETSU victory over the pompous arrogant that much sweeter! I love Jimmy Quillen!

A 3 game weekend series at NC State is bigtime. I might need to make a roadtrip to that. Getting Va Tech at home too is nice but Ga Tech in ATL is always scary

Ugh!! Jimmy Quillen was a TERRIBLE representative. Yeah, he got Aunt Susie's welfare check, or Uncle Roy's pension settled, but he was completely geo-centric, completely a puppet of his republican masters, and completely lacking in vision (although he did do a good job of latching onto the coattails of the Teague-Cranston Act when it was shown to him how nice it could work out here). I'll stop at that, because I don't want to make this *too* political.
Wish you hadn't brought him up..........

Without Quillen...ETSU would be a glorified community college.
