The count down is on.

Just 26 more days until opening day.

I guess I have a little problem with polls that rate us a 10 and another that rate us a 20. Ten difference seems too much to me, and would bring me to question how they rate to begin with?

I can see up to a 5-6 difference between polls, but that is a max for me.

That's just how it is in college baseball. Plus polls rate on different things. Baseball America typically gives more weight to teams with a lot of pro prospects, for example.

What Charlie said AND some of the polls aren't really polls at all, they're rankings. They don't poll squat - it is some guy sitting in his office (probably at home), pouring over rosters and stat sheets and spewing wisdom.

That indoor practice facility would be nice to have right about now. Unfortuantely, we are still only about half-way to the funding goal for Phase 1.

Maybe this team can make it to the CWS and generate enough excitement to get Shocker fans to open up the wallets and get behind the new facility in greater numbers.

Just two Fridays without SHOCKER BASEBALL

[RHshoxfan]

I will definatly be there opening day.

You have to take preseason polls with a grain of salt. My Arizona Wildcats are ranked from #1 to #19. So what does that mean? Absolutely nothing. The game is decided on the feild. They should be a darn good team. That's about all that can be said at this point.

Season ticket packages arrived in the mail on Saturday.

I'm juiced.

Loved the article about team unity in Sunday's Eagle. I know there were some player(s) who didn't fit in well last year and are now gone. It was interesting to see Hill and Dirks as spokesmen for the senior class and I hope those guys, plus Musgrave and TWeb can keep this team clicking. If so, this oculd be a special season.
