And of course baseball is out of town on that weekend.

Why on earth do they continue to do this?
Baseball needs the support and the Athletic department misses easy chances to get fans engaged.
It can’t be that hard to schedule this on a home baseball weekend around Easter and the Masters (which is only a scheduling excuse for Georgia/GT spring games)

April 11 v ULM or April 24th vs our rival Georgia Southern would have been fun!

Not casting blame on anyone but I wonder if this is caused by a lack of staffing for two events on the same day or if DLo picks his schedule.

Just a huge missed opportunity to raise money. Could do raffles, prizes and fundraising opportunities for both sports.

“Show up to baseball game, get a ticket punched, present it at the football game and get a team poster” or something vice versa.

Honestly, DLo could just be unaware of the baseball program in this new NIL era. Athletic teams felt more intertwined a decade+ ago.

Baseball doesn’t matter it seems.

Definitely an afterthought. As most are to football.

I want Kermit to win. But, if he doesn’t, our next coach should demand more money and publicity. Sooner or later, our athletics department should realize that baseball has the best odds to make postseason runs and deserves more money to equip them to do so.

Definitely a missed opportunity IMO with the caveat of not knowing all the scheduling details for planning. It would have been great to have spring game at noon so tailgating could happen then baseball game starts at 3 pm

This is overreaction. The spring game is a final practice. We only have so many days to conduct so many practices within a spring practice window. This spring practice timeframe works best for the football team. While it would be good if there was a home baseball game, and they could start it around 6 p.m., it’s not worth changing up an entire spring practice schedule just to do so.

I'm going to start counting, by comments, how fast a thread can turn into someone complaining about NIL or the transfer portal. This one took 5 comments before mentioning NIL.

Will they actually explain what is happening this year? Had no clue what I was watching last year.

Got you covered. Here you go.
