IU Baseball

[Class of '66 Old Fart 89,767]

In a season that seems to be going nowhere fast, Hoosiers (15-14) (6-6) host Michigan State (17-10) (4-5) for a weekend series.  All 3 games televised on B1G+.   All 3 days have rain in the forecast so the current weekend schedule will likely get changed.

Remember this is northern baseball where the Big Ten and Big East are essentially the A10 or Mountain West of basketball and never getting to the pinnacle. 

You might be right on the national level, but that doesn't explain why IU struggles in conference. They should at least do well in the B1G among the other loser programs and consistently beat the Northwesterns and Iowas of the world. I'd be content with regularly being the tallest midget.

we are that... .easily. 

 

 

 

plus Merce won the conference his first season and was WELLLLLL on our way to repeating and covid hit. We were really good that year and had just beat ECU @ECU on a Friday night.... 

 

We can want more, but the reality is.... this sport is so geared against Northern schools it's almost unbelievable. Spend more money on baseball, please. 

 

We have had REALLY good crowds this year.

They have been among the best 'midgets' in the Big Ten in the Mercer era and finished 1st, 3rd, 8th, 2nd, 3rd. Outside of that atrocious 2022, they have been competing for the title at or near the top of the conference ever since Mercer has been here and been to the NCAA Tournament.

Iowa is a top competitor in the Big Ten each year like IU which has led to a great series every time they play and the Hoosiers have dominated Northwestern each yr who is indeed bad.

Don't conflate this year with the rest of the era which has been as amongst the very best in the Big Ten.
