Contenders or Pretenders?

Perfect answer. Have fun with the MVC tourney in Omaha. You know where your seats will be.

I really can't imagine that many shocker fans will make the trip (though it will probably look like a lot relative to everybody else). I suspect they will just buy from game to game and sit where ever they want.

Like you have any control whatsoever in where I would sit.

Beg to differ

The newness factor/honeymoon period is going to attract a lot of locals who have nothing better to do in town on a Friday night. 99% of the fans at the place probably couldn't name CU's head coach and are only there to see the new ballpark or taking part in Buy 1, Get 3 Free Night.

These numbers should be expected but will quickly fall back to reality when the newness wears off.

I must say that Creighton has timed it perfect. They have one of the best years in their entire history coinciding with a move to a new ballpark = perfect storm.

I saw the Valley Tourney ticket prices. They seem cheaper than what Eck had. That should equate to much bigger crowds, right?

I didn't see anything in there that stated where all tickets purchased by people with a 316 area code would be confined to the left-field bleachers, or worst-available. There are a ton of good seats in the picture, on "the big night".

I can assure everyone that I will not attend a college baseball game this year. No bandwagon or honeymoon from MVJ.

How ironic. Shockers win Game 1 of the series 8-0, in the 20-year anniversary season of Creighton's greatest team ever. A season in which the Shockers went 8-0 against the Mighty Jays.

Shox take the first game from the BJ's, 8 - nill.



The un-hittable Ty Blech gives up 13 hits and 6 earned runs, Belch had not lost since May 10, 2010, also against WSU.

BJ's throw their ace today, Jones Dufus (7-1, 2.33 ERA) and the Shockers do not stand a chance.

Contenders or Pretenders, we will find out by Sunday afternoon.

Sorry Barack...and you're a horrible President too.

On this day 66 years ago Germany surrendered. How ironic that the Jays beat unbeatable WSU today.
