Schedule Changes and Facilities

Jackson St. has replaced La Tech. as the first game of 2009. The home game against La Tech has been moved to 2012. Brilliant move as far as I'm concerned. You keep 7 home games in 2009, you are now playing a I-AA in '09 where you weren't before (and as far as I'm concerned MSU should be playing a I-AA every year), and presumably you are set up to have 7 home games in 2012. I wonder if LT would have had the foresight to do something like this? LT always made it sound like scheduling was the most difficult job on Earth and cobbling together 12 games was a minor miracle. Man I'm glad that guy is gone.

If you look you can find some fluff pieces about how this is a "historic day" what with Jackson St. being a HBS. I'm not linking it because all I see is "blah blah blah". Its a game against a I-AA, not a big deal. If you want to hear about how historic it is, google is your friend.


The second thing I want to mention is according to Veazy, its only a matter of time before there is a practice infield for baseball and a practice facility for basketball. They're still a ways off but the first step has been taken.
