It doesn't matter how nice it is, it is still a rented facility, there is nothing like an on campus college facility the one at Arkansas is a great example.

Kind of like renting/hiring a whore. :dance:

Do you really think it would have mattered where this game was played Moron?

How many partisan Razorback fans were in the stands? Hell yes it makes a difference, especially after breezing thru 9 straight batters and then hitting some rough waters.

Bear are up 3-0 in the 4th...should've had another run by scoring Becker from 3B w/ only 1 out, but Matheny must not be able to bunt! This could come back to haunt MO St. Exactly the same type of crap that characterized IN St. this past season. Why get runners on base if you're not gonna MOVE them? :Violin:

Thought that Guttin went too long w/ Hall and should've pulled him after the 2nd walk in the 7th inning. With Young waiting in relief, what's there to gain by pushing Hall an extra inning? AR only scored 1 run, but the RISK far outweighed any advantage of leaving Hall in the game, especially given the "quietness" of the Bear bats since early game.

Great win today for the Bears. Hall was the man. So nice to shut the Razorback fans up in their own stadium. Especially after the debacle yesterday. Record crowd at Baum today. Nice experience being a part of it.

Hoping we can pull out another W tomorrow.

In your opinion only. My opinion is MSU is lucky to play in a nicer stadium than any in the Valley. One that is even nicer than Baum. It's not on campus but it's very very close. IMO we would be crazy to not take advantage of it or to needlessly spend millions building one.

Same argument from Creighton for years, I am happy you guys love your rented whore of a stadium, it is not a college facility.

I loved it when Hall was grinning on the mound & letting his ARM do the talking against the mouthy 'Hawgs (especially 19 HR/Cincy native Bennitendi (?)...that was college baseball at it's BEST! :buddies:

What's the "hangup?" I wish MLB would reach out and provide more "shared" opportunities, thus reducing collegiate costs. I see no reason whatsoever to criticize Mo. St. for playing their HOME GAMES in a 1st- class facility. The whole idea is ludicrous... :huh:

GO BEARS...kick butt in GM #3 today & PUNCH THAT TICKET for Omaha! The Sycamore fans are behind ya all the way...

Then I guess you're satisfied with the best stadium in college baseball not available for play for its home fans as a national seed with a trip to Omaha on the line.
