We are probably going to get rolled more years than not.

JMU baseball is going to get rolled with the present coaching staff, but being the northernmost SBC team isn’t a big factor in the program’s future competitiveness. JMU has made the CWS before, and more recently, so has Stony Brook. Furthermore, geography hasn’t been a negative impact on softball.

Future success in baseball requires JMU decide to invest in the program, starting with hiring a quality HC. Hopefully the excellent quality of SBC baseball will serve as a wake-up call to JMU’s AD and senior administration.

I agree that it's not some impossible task and I'm only gonna expect to suck for as long as we keep Ikenberry. Our area has produced quite a few MLB and P5 baseball players while the Turks and high school baseball teams are popular with fans. Commit to improving JMU baseball and I think we'll have success both on the field and in the stands. Saying we can't be successful in baseball because we aren't far enough south is like saying we can't be successful in football for the same reason.

We're finally committing properly to MBB again and appear to be turning things around. We also are probably one of the louder voices in the conference asking for our conference mates to improve in that sport we strongly care about. Hopefully we commit to improving in this sport that our conference strongly cares about.

No. The geography means something in baseball. Those that are in colder climates that have success deserve kudos (looking at you, ODU). To say it's the same as football is just a misguided statement.

Geography means something in baseball? Tell it to the NY Yankees or Boston. Or in college, to Stony Brook or Hartford. 03-lmfao

In all honesty, it simply means college baseball teams in the Mid-Atlantic often schedule early season games a bit further south, say in the Carolinas. Otherwise Mid-Atlantic weather in the Spring isn’t a major issue. By April 1 the weather for baseball is actually very good. Less we forget UVA, located just 40 miles as the crow flies over the mountains from JMU, won the CWS just a couple years ago. But what UVA has is a great HC and staff.

I agree with your overarching point but using two professional baseball organizations who have no salary cap as an example for why college baseball teams in colder regions can win isn't really helping your argument.

Careful. Suggesting that cold weather for the first month of the season is no excuse for poor performance when multiple programs at various levels nearby find success in comparable conditions is punishable by ridicule from players’ moms and dirty looks in the football press box the next season. I know from experience.

Not a good example. I believe their season starts in April not February and their preseason games are played In Florida or Arizona.

Apparently you missed my laughing emoji, and the more on point reference to Stony Brook and Hartford, who definitely play good college ball at a northern latitude similar to the Yankees and Red Socks. 07-coffee3

Again, to refocus the discussion for those readers who can’t seem to focus on my original point, playing top-level D1 college baseball in the Mid-Atlantic is not compromised by geographical issues, and the University of Virginia is proof enough that ODU, JMU and Marshall can aspire to the same level of quality college ball played by UVA. The real issue rests on the institution’s commitment to providing the resources for coaching salaries, scouting, recruitment and facilities.

RE: Future for SBC baseball is BRIGHT
Southern Miss baseball announced on it's twitter page a few days ago that we've sold over 3,000 season tickets already and we're still just over 2 months from opening day. For those who've been to our park you may recall the bleacher seating behind each dugout was always general admission while the chair backs closer to home were always reserved seating. Well because of the demand those general admission seats are now reserved and are close if not already sold out. I would assume the athletic dept held out 100 or so tickets for visiting teams in the bleachers as USM is now selling standing room only season tickets for $155. The bleacher seats are/were $190 a seat while chair backs were ~$250 range but required an Eagle Club membership.

Southern Miss and Louisiana kick ass in baseball attendance. Cajuns have been over 3000 season tickets since Russo Park improvements were made for the 2018 season.
