Comments on: Q&A with a die-hard Buckeye baseball fan http://www.illinoisbaseballreport.com/2009/05/qa-with-a-die-hard-buckeye-baseball-fan/ Covering the University of Illinois Fighting Illini baseball team since 2005 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 03:44:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: The Baseball Zealot http://www.illinoisbaseballreport.com/2009/05/qa-with-a-die-hard-buckeye-baseball-fan/comment-page-1/#comment-328 The Baseball Zealot Fri, 08 May 2009 02:58:07 +0000 http://www.illinoisbaseballreport.com/2009/05/qa-with-a-die-hard-buckeye-baseball-fan/#comment-328 I was thinking the same as you guys. Everyone likes a tight schedule but what prevents BTN from stopping midway through the conference schedule, evaluating the situation, and making some necessary changes. I don't think anyone would blame them for changing the schedule to show at least one or two games between two nationally ranked teams regardless of the sport. Either way, it will definitely be a great series... and a respite from the midweek blues (for both teams). I was thinking the same as you guys.

You have no idea in (March) if this is a big weekend or not until league play starts. The BTN could be manged so much better on a lot of levels,.

Although I want all the teams to get their chance on tv, some series are better than others and this is definitely one of the best if only because of when it is. Minn and IU may both be just as good of teams, but this is the biggest series left of the season as far as tops of the Big Ten is concerned.

They don't even have a college baseball game on Friday,they are doing a softball game live. Once again the BTN drops the ball. This is a HUGE sereis for both schools and we get ZERO tv coverage at all. That is really sad. Go Buckeyes!! I can’t believe the BTN is not showing one of the games.

I think the Illini take 2 of 3 and could sweep if they can somehow get past Wimmers in Game 1. I'd pray that he is still tired from the no-hitter because that might be the best chance of hitting him. He made the Michigan offense look terrible! Should be a great series. I think the Illini take 2 of 3 and could sweep if they can somehow get past Wimmers in Game 1.
