BB: OAC: Ohio Athletic Conference

[Gramps]

Dr. Acula,   Heidelberg has out their new "Media Guide" which has a preview of this years team with all of the projected changes to the starting lineup.  The most notable will be that Elvin Williams will also be playing in the outfield as well as pitching.  Check out the preview at: http://www.heidelberg.edu/sites/herald.heidelberg.edu/files/2010_BB_Media_Guide.pdf

Looks like a powerful lineup for the coming season.

GO BERG!!

[Dr. Acula]

Thanks Gramps!

Berg is going to be battle tested when they get to the OAC season.  NC Wesleyan, Carthage, Montclair St, OWU, Denison and Adrian on the pre-OAC schedule.  That's a very nice non-conference slate.  Should serve them well as the season rolls on.

It should be an intersting year at MUC. or should I jump the Gun and call them UMU, counting the days til FLA.

Thanks Dr. Acula, I will be attending a fund raiser for the baseball team next week and will be sure to tell all of the other parents and grandparents to check out the web site.  All of the team articles were well written and will add to the enjoyment of the games when we meet that particular team.  Looking forward to more stories as the season progresses.  Keep up the good work, I know, for one, that I certainly appreciate your diligence in researching each team.

Great story...kind of OAC related....

The 2007 Bluffton baseball team was awarded the NCAA's Inspiration Award a few weeks ago.  Former Musky player James Grandey is the head coach at Bluffton.  Cody McPherson, a senior of this year's team, accepted the award.  He was a freshman on that team and was on the bus.  Anyone that has ever played a team sport can only imagine the emotions involved in a tragedy like that.

Thanks Gramps.  Hopefully I'll get a chance to meet you at a Berg game this season.  Are you heading south for the spring trip?

[Gramps]

Dr. Acula,  Looking forward to meeting you also.  Just look for the oldest  man in the Berg stands, That will be me.  Yes, there will be a whole group of us going down.  It'll be good to be back in the old ball park and cheering on the kids. My wife and me have met many nice people while being involved with our grandchildren's sports.  It keeps us young. Can't wait for the start of the season.  Reading all of your articles and the comments of the other blog writers has got me ready to enjoy another year of baseball.

BW will be looking for a new coach it sounds like....any guesses on who it might be?  Promote an assistant?  Are there BW alumni in the coaching ranks elsewhere?

BSB blurb

[inthecrease]

ill put my early money on an assistant, but hired from outside for his first head coaching gig, not promoted within.

with jobs the way they are, you gotta figure you will have any assistant coach with a few years experience in ohio applying. Add that to an alumnus head coach that wants to go back home, and some high school coaches from cleveland who want a challenge at the next level. i think BW will have a fantastic summer of sorting through resumes.

[Dr. Acula]

There's no denying that BW is a good job.  That program is established, it's in pretty good shape and it's in a good location from a recruiting aspect.  It would be a great first job if someone is lucky enough to land it.  I hope a certain former MUC asst. applies.

Speaking of new coaches....Cap has a good young first time HC.  Check out the article here.  The Crusaders aren't going to be pushovers much longer.

[Dr. Acula]

Cap and JCU get the OAC started on Sunday down south.  Season's here!!

[mideastfan2]

I'm ready for a new season!!

Here's to a great year in the OAC....and a great post-season run to Appleton by some of the OAC powers!!

[Dr. Acula]

Cap gets the OAC off to a good start beating John Jay 15-5 in their opener.  JCU is taking on JJ right now.  Congrats to Coach Grice on his first win!
