With the weather we have been having, its hard to believe that college baseball season is just a few weeks, if not days away. For Memphis area college baseball programs, the warmer temperatures we are seeing the weekend are coming at the perfect time.
Memphis will be hosting a few "marquee" games this season. On March 23, the Tigers will host the Arkansas Razorbacks at Autozone Park, the Mississippi Rebels on 4/5 Autozone Park, Southern Miss 4/8 - 4/10 at FedEx Park and Mississippi State on 5/17 at Autozone Park.
It's disappointing to not see the smaller schools face each other this year. It seems like a 3 game set spread out through the season between Rhodes and Christian Brothers would make the most sense. Best record wins a some sort of trophy, etc. It would also reduce travel costs for out of conference midweek games.
