Good morning Texas grip. Sure it can be field conditions, but it can also be trying to get extra days of rest to prep for ORUBase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update: Maysville State is an NAIA school and given the weather and big series with ORU, makes sense to cancel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmh8286 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I noticed on radar that the same system that gave us a smattering of rain in Tulsa was dumping snow on North Dakota and South Dakota this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Chatted with some Bi-zuhn baseball fans (both of them) on their message board; they explained that NDSU plays at the home field of the Independent League Fargo-Moorhead Red Hawks, whose season does not start until mid-May. The field is 100% natural grass, and is regularly either soaked from snowmelt, and sometimes even snow-covered (including right now) this time of year. I got the distinct impression that NDSU is at the mercy of the Red Hawks ground crew for the field to be playable, and apparently whatever NDSU pays them for access and upkeep is not enough for motivate the ground crew to put out the %#&$#@ tarp in April. If NDSU is going to field a baseball team, they need to get serious about their facilities. Assuming global warming does not increase exponentially, they are doomed to spending every March on the road, then returning to a permafrost quagmire every April until finally getting some decent 60˚ weather in May. BTW, this week's alternate site in Council Bluffs, IA is just across the river from Omaha, virtually halfway between NDSU and ORU (roughly 400 miles from either campus; about 6 hours by bus). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis 83 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 When I was a student at Oral Roberts University I had a good friend who hailed from Council Bluffs. I'm not sure how many times I've thought about Council Bluffs since the 80's. OT, congratulations finding the two baseball fans on their message board. Perhaps you can help the EPA find Spotted Owls.
