Interesting, they start almost every season with like 8-9 games away from Goss. They also end the season with 4 straight non-conference home games. |

Ending the season with the "bye" is so great for letting pitchers get a bit of rest before Tourneys, good win on that

On paper it seems like a less challenging schedule this year with the exception that we play most of the PACs best teams away from home.

Seems like one of the weaker non-conf schedules in a while.

I believe that the last time that Oregon appeared exactly once on the non-conference schedule was 1954. The Ducks are either not on the non-conference schedule or on more than once after that. |

Totally fair!  Thanks for the extra digging, that's crazy! Makes you wonder who didn't want the extra game this year? I think we know.... |

I have sort of been dismissive about Hunga Tonga driving weather, but three consecutive winters of cooler than average temperatures is sort of bonkers, considering how active the sun has been and that the sun has been steadily expelling more heat since 2019. The only other driver may be the decrease of CO2 into the atmosphere, because of COVID-19. Still, you would think that it would stop at some point. Weird. |

I have no idea what in the hell u r talking about. All I know is it was a cold, wet winter/spring last year, and it's sposed to be another wet one......and anyway, it's frickin February in western OR! The weather always sucks in Feb, especially for baseball.....good time to be in Arizona. |

Alex Gary is the Western Carolina AD. Kyle Pifer is the deputy AD. Both worked at OSU before going to WCU. That helps explain why WCU is on our schedule.
Kyle Pifer was an outstanding administrator, primarily in compliance. Many inside the department were not happy when his position was downsized during covid.
