Welcome H-SC Bball, and as the Hornet said, great to have you posting in the ODAC.....but even better to see H-SC!!!

Hornet.....Like the sounds of your Coach.....his recruitment objectives I agree with.......and you guys should have  a good year......and another.....and another!

It is a very nice site.....I'm impressed.  Hampden-Sydney is now 0-4 after loosing two to CNU last weekend.  Going to journey up to H-SC this weekend and watch them play Villa Julie......maybe I'll bring them some luck......they need something to get them going!

Season officially started yesterday for Hampden-Sydney and it was not a good start, but with much optimisim, this old lady is saying, the best is yet to come. 

The double header in Danville, VA, with Averett University: 1-9, 1-3.  I'd like to blame the cold but obviously Averett was playing in the same air space too.......

Hope we see other scores posted this week........

Okay Hornet......maybe that's why Lynchburg is one place ahead of H-SC in the Coaches' poll.....because they play well in the cold?  We'll see what the warm weather, and the end of season brings.......

BigPappa.....my husband still in HB......finishing up a contract before he heads south.......he tried complaining to me about the cold in HB......he didn't get very far.......

Lynchburg is the tournament host city this year..........

....we have our first game this Sunday and I'm wondering........how does one play baseball in 39 degree temperatures?  If I knew my son would be okay with it......I'd skip the double header and stay home with the heat.......but I have to go.......and, I'm packing a lot of blankets.......

BigPoppa......I'm missing HB bad right now........

I agree BigPoppa the difference in votes between the other schools and these top 2 is great, but as we saw last season, these projections are not always right on.......

The Coaches' votes are in and this is the ODAC lineup with the number of votes each received:

1.   Virginia Wesleyan               96 votes
2.   Bridgewater                        94
3.   Washington & Lee              69
4.   Randolph-Macon                 62
5.   Lynchburg                          59
6.   Hampden-Sydney               54
7.   Guilford                              43
8.   Roanoke                             32
9.   Eastern Menonite               21
10. Emory & Henry                  20

.......pre-season polls are interesting........ but....it's not over until it's over.......

Well....I really messed up!  My computer died, got a new one.......and tried logging on here........forgot my password, tried to have it sent to me.....failed at that.......so ended up going through registration again......I feel most badly that I lost my 4 karma points.......   HS-C14, formerly Abigail......

Hornet19, welcome and I'm looking forward to our first game with Lynchburg.......and winning!

Bob, don't think Collegiate Baseball posts the watch list......last year freshman son made the list (then broke his wrist in December and was out for the year).....we searached everywhere and could not find the list on internet so we ended up purchasing a subscription....a Mom has got to have those scrapebook clippings......

.....if anyone finds Abigail.....say hi for me......
