BB: WIAC: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

The word around Whitewater is that coe is 3/4 done with his rehab program and will be in full swing this year behind the dish. another quick  come back just like his brother.... no worries

[cubs]

I am not so certain how excited he was to be going to Oshkosh in the first place.

Interesting---Care to elaborate?

I would LOVE to hear jbeeb elaborate as well.... 

But when a guy starts out his sentence with "I am not so certain" that right there tells me he really isn't sure about anything he is about to say and it likely doesn't hold much weight anyway.....

Stout's the first to post a roster. Two nice transfers – Jon Schoch, UWSP; Jake Duske, Upper Iowa. Good to see nine frosh pitchers. Saw only one of them in HS, and he was pretty good.

The two names that jump out at me are Hamman from Marathon and Britts from Nekoosa.  Both of them were SOLID high school pitchers, and if they continued to develop, they could give Stout some innings right away.

Just took a look at UW Oshkosh's non-conference schedule for the 2010 season, and it is not very impressive.  The St. Thomas', St. Olaf's, St. Scholastica's, and Carthage's of years past are nowhere to be found.  Instead, it's DH's against Augsburg, Edgewood, Gustavus Adolphus, and St. John's at the Metrodome, none of which you will find on any Top 25 list. 

Kind of disappointing to see such a dramatic overhaul of the schedule, but who knows, maybe it has more to do with who is available to play.  Maybe those other teams are heading to Florida or Arizona and already have their schedules filled.  It will be interesting to see other schedules once they are released.

EDIT-I see Point is playing St. Olaf before they head to Florida, so who knows what's going on.

Well, I guess MAYBE I shouldn't have been so quick to jump the gun on UWO's NC schedule.....  After looking a little closer, they have two dates in March where they are scheduled to play DH's at the Mall of America Field, however the opponents aren't listed as of yet.  Hopefully one of the traditional MIAC powers of years past or one of the better UMAC teams (CSS or Bethany Lutheran) find their way onto the schedule.  In all, UWO will be playing all 12 of their March games at the Mall of America Field, making three separate trips to Minnesota.

After looking at the Bethany and CSS schedules they appear to be full so I don't think the Titans will be playing either of them in the Dome.  It's surprising that they don't already have an opponent set to go for those games.

I'm not sure if there are any games being played in the Metrodome this season....  UWO's games are listed as being played at the new Mall of America Field, which from what I understand does not have a roof on it.

[BigPoppa]

Mall of America field is the new name for the field at the Metrodome. Once the Twins left, Mall of America sponsored the field which the Viking were the sole team to play on at that point.

I think it is officially called Mall of America field at The Metrodome.

Gotcha.....  So do yo know what the Twins new field is being called?

[BigPoppa]

Target Field....

[OshDude]

Thought the UWO schedule was set. Noncons are the four cubs mentioned, Lawrence, St. Norbert and Marian. Am I missing something?

Speaking of skeds, check out Edgewood's if you have not already. Probably the toughest (SOC, UWO, UST, UWSP, UWP) I saw in making the 2010 in-region masterlist.

[BigPoppa]

Agreed on Edgewood. Splitting those games could take them a long way if they happen to be a Pool C contender as Strength of Schedule appeared to have a big impact in 2009 for the last few spots (see St. Norbert chosen over Pacific Lutheran).

[OshDude]

Now that I look at it, St. Olaf's sked may rival Edgewood's.

Not to mention Emory for an out-of-region DH.  Sheesh.

I was looking at their 2010 Practice Schedule, and saw the two "DH vs TBA's".  Here is the link:

http://www.titans.uwosh.edu/Baseball/PracticeSchedule.html

If they add those two DH's, that puts them at 42 games...  For some reason I thought 40 games was the maximum that is allowed going into the WIAC Tournament.

Will UW-Stevens Point with their very very strong program advance to the World Series?
