I think we had a thread with a link to this year's schedule, but I've searched for it and can't find it. Since the start of the season is right around the corner (scheduled to start February 17th at Western Kentucky) I thought I'd start another thread.

Here's a link to a story (dated Jan. 27th) about team workouts, followed by a link to the schedule.

Several Rockets receive mention on the preseason All-MAC teams. The story I've linked to is from the UT site, but apparently the original source is something called College Sports Madness, something I've never heard of.

Some info about the site for the 2012 (and 2013 and 2014) MAC tournament. It's obvious I'm out of touch with some of what's been happening in Ohio sports. The Lake Erie Crushers?????

I'm becoming a bigger and bigger fan of UT baseball as well as womens soccer!

Great quality play and fairly decent venues.

I hope all the Scott park venues are improved within the next ten years!!!!

What about the idea of moving baseball/softball complexes to the corner of Dorr and Byrne, which THE University of Toledo now owns and has razed. I feel it would really spark interest and they would become a lot more visible with all the traffic flow going by.

The Univ. of Toledo only owns about 1.5 acres at the SE corner of Byrne and Dorr

I would imagine they have that targeted as a revenue generator. Land is precious around campus. It would be a heck of a corner for a ball park though.

Can't wait for Presidents Day weekend Rockets open in BG Kentucky and I'm Ready to watch some baseball

We are making the drive down to Kentucky that Friday afternoon. Anyone else making the trip?

The University also owns a good chunk of land not far from Inverness Club... For baseball, soccer, who knows ?

Crossed my mind since the school im at does not have class that monday, but then i realized the gametime sunday is too early for me to get there in time. have fun!

As of now the weather for this weekend's series looks to be OK. Maybe some rain showers on Saturday. Highs in the fifties Friday and Saturday, in the forties on Sunday.

Looks like WKU has audio (if you're willing to pay) and live stats (if you're not) for this weekend's games.

Actually UT owns all the property that the Scott Park Campus sits on. The city of Toledo leases the land for the Police Station, Safe-t-city, and the Scott Park City Ball Diamonds.

Baseball used to be on Main Campus where the Rec Center is. Most games they were lucky to get 150 people. Softball was at Carter Field. Even when they were great they were lucky to get 50 people. Don't see them moving. They have a team building and indoor hitting facility at Scott Park. If they ever put a little money into the stadiums, they would be fine.

Check out the National Corvette Museum at I-65 and exit #28.

J/C and slightly OT...

Was watching STO last night and saw a promo that told me Orel Hershiser went to BG... I never knew that.

Shame, I always liked the guy.

Played at BG AND the Dodgers- two reasons to hate him. But, yeah, he seemed like a decent guy otherwise-just made a lot of bad decisions.

Toledo projected to finish second in the MAC West, behind the Chips.

Great start to the season. Three in the ninth to win it.

Woot woot, wins over the sun belt in baseball are always solid wins!
