Oh and also your message board is one of the most difficult to use I have ever seen. It is right up there with Tigernet. Good luck this weekend I hope both teams end up injury free and the yardcocks sweep of course.

LOL yes, that is our low budget AD in a nutshell. They will probably have to get a legitimate amount of viewers to make it worth it for them to get more cameras set up. As for tigerboard, we'd love to have you guys top by to talk SEC baseball. The format is pretty old fashioned, but it works pretty well once you get used to it.

MizzouAstro, you seem to be one cool fellow to take all of our "suggestions" so well. Y'all should have beaten Arizona in your regional last year. That would have been very helpful for us. Hope y'all have a good 1st year in the SEC.

Thanks! Unfortunately, no one was beating Arizona last year. They were on FIRE.

My biggest issue with it is you have to click on every single post to read it. If you could read all the posts in a thread then it would not be so bad I guess.

That is a hassle, however there is a plug in for Firefox that allows you to read each post by just hovering your mouse over it. I use it and it makes it alot easier to use.

Welcome to SEC baseball. This conference is serious about baseball. It took us a long time to adjust to the SEC, but baseball is faster than football. Your fan base will grow as you travel around to the venues in our conference.
I hope the weather is nice and we have a good series. We are a young team this season, but our freshman and sophomores have mostly played well except for base running. We need to work on that.

We are definitely excited to be in the SEC. We might go through some growing pains but this is a program that has been to an NCAA Regional 8 of the last 10 years so I expect us to adapt even if we have fewer resources and fans than most other SEC programs.

Welcome! Just wait until that SEC money starts rolling in. Good stuff!

do yall stream the games for free on the internet?

[Legalman72]

Welcome! The Mizzou fans I encountered in the Cockpit (and tailgating) last year were fantastic, among the best.

We're glad you're in the SEC and wish you well against all but us.

[Acockolypse Now]

I love Mizzou.

Great fans.

That nice website with all the free streams will probably work.

[FlorenceCock]

Their stream will be available for free via the same website we get ours for free from. A few of us were watching them play Jackson State the other day via it.

First off, I'd like to say how excited (nervous) we are about being in the SEC. Long term, I think the consensus among Mizzou fans is that this move will be great for the program, but I think everyone is sure there will be some growing pains in the first few years. If anyone on here is planning on making the trip to Columbia West, I'd be happy to give you some great places to eat while you are in town, if anyone is interested.

Our team this year started out VERY slow, especially at the plate as we went 0-6 in first two series (@Southern Miss and @Memphis). Since then, we have gone 5-1, though we have had 3 games snowed out, so we should have a couple more wins than we do. That said, I imagine our lineup will struggle quite about this year as we only have 2-3 hitters over .300. Our pitching has been a little better, at least as starters are concerned. Rob Zastryzny is our Friday night guy. He's a junior lefty with pretty good stuff as long as he can throw strikes. Our Saturday guy is Brett Graves, a sophomore who struggled a bit last year but has had some pretty good outings so far this year. I'm not quite sure who will throw Sunday, but it will probably be Jace James, a JUCO transfer who has looked good so far.

I'll shut up for now, but would be happy to answer any questions you guys have. I am definitely looking forward to this weekend, regardless of the outcome.

I wish to welcome you to the SEC, glad to have you on board. I have been through Columbia West several times and also make a yearly trip to Branson. We have had wonderful visits out there and found most people to be very nice and friendly. Wish you will in all SEC sports except when playing Columbia East.

If you have not been you must come to USC'c baseball (Ray Tanner) stadium. It is the most beautiful stadium I have ever been too that wasn't a MLB.

My experience with Mizzou fans at this years football game was much better than what I experienced in Shreveport for the 2005 Independance bowl. Unfortunately one guy colored my view of the tigers for the 8 years hence.

Wish Mizzou and their followers success in all their endeavors but not in Gamecock country!

MizzouAstro,
What are your impressions of the Carolina baseball program? How is the in-state talent in Missouri? Does that make recruiting for Missouri if the in-state talent is weak?
