Baseball Alumni weekend Oct 2.

[Bulldog Bruce]

For many years people have asked for the weekend to be during a Football weekend. John decided to give that a shot. There is no Alumni Game. It was originally planned with a 6pm game in mind and we were going to watch the team scrimmage with a cookout in the lounge. We would then go to the Football game. The 11am game changed the schedule.

Not sure how many folks are coming back.

It appears that the morning kickoff was dictated by CBS' decision to air a national double header this weekend. From the latest Wednesday Update:

<font color="#660000">SEC ANNOUNCES MSU-ALCORN STATE GAME TIME

We
will play our first football day game of the year a week from Saturday
(Oct. 2) when the Bulldogs play host to Alcorn State at Davis Wade
Stadium. CBS will have a national doubleheader that day, and since both
game windows are protected for the national network by the SEC –
assuring that no conference game will be played against those network
games – all conference contests that day will be in the morning.</font>

Was scraping the game all together really the best way to go? Why not just have a big Baseball Alumni Tailgate on Saturday before and after the game, hang out in Starkville that night and then have the game on Sunday morning? I realize that guys will need to travel on Sunday, but surely this is better than canceling.

With that said, it's unfortunate it didn't work out. I'm sure it would have been a cool weekend for you guys.

the alumni game is one of the best things about MSU baseball. Every MSU baseball fan should go to at least one in their lifetime.
