Depauw's Schedule,
Looks like the same deal as OWU as far week day games. Is this a new NCAC thing. I would not be surprised.

They have quite a few more week day games than Depauw and OWU. 29 games on schedule plus cross over and Tourney on schedule.

If you guys had to do the preseason rankings for the NCAC what would they be.  From top to bottom.

Welcome to the board easter.
Any list has to start with Wooster. There 2014 roster is not out yet, but they have up to 17 sr. Coming back. After that it is hard to tell. Denison lost some key players. While there starting rotation should be real good, with Colgain, Murphy and Barry, the bull pen may be bare. Hopefully someone will step up. Oberlin had their best year in a long time, maybe all time, can they do it again or even get better? OWU had a bad year last year. Hopefully things will be better this year. I don't know enough about Alleghenny or Kenyon. And Hiram is Hiram. Wabash loses quite a few. Losing Timmons will be a big loss on the field and in the club house. After JT I am not sure who they will have in the rotation. Witt should be strong again and Depuw should be about the same.
This is all speculation on just perusing rosters, so do not take offense to anybodies team that I do not rank high enough.
1. Wooster
2. Witt
3. Denison
4/5 Allegheny/Depauw
6.OWU
7.Oberlin
8. Kenyon
9. Wabash
10. Hiram

This is all all conjecture, feel free to disagree.

Happy Thanksgiving to all posters and lurkers. I am thankful for so many things. Safe travels all.

[Bishopleftiesdad]

Merry Christmas to all my internet baseball friends. Teams should start official work outs pretty soon.

[TexasDad]

Hope everyone has a great holiday and enjoys having their sons home. Looking forward to the spring.

[Bishopleftiesdad]

Thanks Texas Dad. It is nice having him home, I just need to keep reminding myself he is used to being on his own and gently remind him what kind of communication I need about his comings and goings so his mother and I do no worry. And the increased food budget.

That's funny BLD!  I remember my first Xmas break from college and my mom saying "be home by midnight". I gave her an odd look and my dad motioned me to leave. I heard him telling my mom "he lives on his own you can't possibly expect him to have a curfew anymore".  The only rule was let them know where I was going and if I was coming home or staying the night.  That was pre cell phones so with texting now that'd be easy!  Maybe not to an 18 yr old...

[Bishopleftiesdad]

I hope everyone had a happy New Year!

Son is still at home and I am greeted every night when I walk in the door with "Whats for Dinner?"
Looks like Wooster is listed in the top 30 in two polls. Looks like one poll copied off the other and they just looked how teams finished last year.

NCAA:
http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/baseball/d3

ABCA:
http://baseballnews.com/collegiate-baseball-div-3-poll-12-24-13/

Good news is OWU will be playing some of these teams.
Case Western ranked 29 by both.
Marietta Ranked 19 by both.

And they may see Wooster if OWU gets to the NCAC tourney.

...and how much has the food bill gone up??

Mine triples for about three weeks  .  They are calorie burning machines, particularly since he is in the weight room, cardio work,  or throwing or hitting.

Happy New Year.
