[JHGiunta]

Awesome PBP JHGiunta and great thread ARKANSAS. Go HOGS!

My pleasure....enjoyed it.   I usually just read.

[HogFansReunited]

Wonder how mang were Hog fans.

Radio guy said it looked like at least half the people that stayed were hog fans.

Thanks JHGiunta, very nice job and thanks to the rest of the game thread crew and regulars. Newcomers, come on back and add to the thread.

Loved this game!

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

for a 1 loss team, I know the weather was sketchy but cmon.

It's sickening, really.

[JHGiunta]

Tip of the cap to you JHG..... Excellent job. I couldn't have a better job myself. Well done and thank you for helping us out.

No, thanks to everyone in the EI game threads that make them the best threads on Hogville.....I'm just happy to be a part of it.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Hogs RPI is currently #55, we'll see what it looks like later this evening. MU is #16.

[JonClaudeVanHam]

I know it's one game but our Hogs look vastly superior to 20-1 Missouri.

I've watched a lot of college baseball, and I kept wondering how in the world they had managed to win 20 in a row.

Thank you for this thread.  Really enjoy this.  Go Hogs

Pretty weak schedule

[Earnhardt]

Yep. I heard on the radio the other day that their attendance average was in the 800s. Even if the weather was nice I bet they would have had maybe 1000-1100 tops.

[FraggleHog]

I know it's one game but our Hogs look vastly superior to 20-1 Missouri.

Level of competition... If Hogs had a 20-1 with our schedule, we'd be top 10. There's a reason they were only #18/#20

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Pretty weak schedule

Absolutely.

[SPAL]

I'm excited about this squad

[JHicks3636]

I'm excited about this squad

We've already won more than half the SEC games (4) that we won last year (7). Different year and a different attitude it would appear.

[SPAL]

RPI up to 40 after the win. I will update the thread after all games are complete.

[southarkhog06]

the color guys sounded like they covered a team that averages 800 a game. I feel bad for the kids.

[SPAL]

Our SOS isn't much better than theirs is. In fact, there non con sos is better by the numbers.

[Razorbacks#1]

No, thanks to everyone in the EI game threads that make them the best threads on Hogville.....I'm just happy to be a part of it.

I hope you can help us out in the future! Excellent job!

Yeah! I'm not gonna bash Mizzou! This is only one game. They swept Bama. Anytime you sweep anyone in the SEC it is a job well done. And I know last weekend ...hell almost half the league got swept...lol But still! It is only one game of the series. Hopefully Stephan gets us the series win next game and gravy game will follow. GHG!

20-1 is good no matter who you play.

Isn't baseball a great game to follow.

This is what I was wondering.  Seems like they haven't played quality teams. Although twenty games straight is twenty games. Glad the Hogs stopped that madness

I thought you already had us winning tomorrow, lol.....

Awesome job JHG!  Win #20 for our Hogs!. Look to be playing with a chip on their shoulder this year!

[Earnhardt]

yes, color guy reminded me of a golf commentator. Mizzou has produced some good players in the past. Their stadium seats something like 3000 I think. No reason they shouldn't average 2000-2500 at SEC games.

12:00pm game with weather threatening, it was about as suspected. We've had a few games this year with sparse attendance.

Not surprised.   Hog fans are everywhere. 😀🐗

ricepig, you made me work. Missouri drew a whopping 704 on opening night. They have had only one game where they drew over a 1000(1200+). Against Appalachian State they actually had a game that drew 160. The others did not fare much better. I have long thought that many SEC teams need to play baseball in their football stadiums because it seems to be the only venues that the fans can find.

[pigture perfect]

Great thread again. I love that when things look shaky for a pbp guy, we are like Bama in Football. Next up, and get an all star performance out of JHG.

Great game today. I was just glad to take a little revenge for the fb and bb teams meltdowns up there. Now let's go take the series!

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Taylor Stadium:
http://www.mutigers.com/facilities/?id=3&path=baseball&;

Capacity: 3,031
Surface: Kentucky Bluegrass (OF) and Baby Bermuda (IF)
Dimensions: 340'-375'400 (symmetrical)

SEATING:
Fans at Taylor Stadium are closer to the action than ever before. Foul territory was sacrificed to put fans closer to the playing field. The true "stadium-style" seating has fans closer to the field running from dugout-to-dugout.

Of the 2,200 seats that are part of the main grandstands, 537 spots are special seat-back chairs. Fans can sponsor these chairs for a $1,000 donation per seat. A commemorative plate has been affixed to the back of the seat to recognize those who do sponsor the seats and those sponsors will have the opportunity to purchase season tickets for their seats.

PRESS BOX:
The media covering Mizzou Baseball work in one of the best, most-equipped facilities in all of the Big 12. Taylor Stadium provides a professional, spacious and comfortable workplace for writers, broadcasters and members of the MU Department of Athletics. A clear view of the field from an elevated workplace awaits members of the working media.

Great win.

Touche Rice! In fairness, I had a couple of Knob Creek's over ice when I posted that..LOL It sure feels like we should have 20 wins!

Too bad we don't get paid as well as bama

Good win today by the Hogs!
