I just realized it’s not only the opponents in the first 5 weeks that are brutal, but if you include Missouri, 4 out of 6 series are on the road.

Not ideal for an inexperienced team. The good news is Mizzou sucks and then 3 out of final 4 series are home.

It will be interesting to see if they can go on a run. A 5-10 start could turn into 15-15 or 16-14.

One thing is for sure, the schedule makers did us no favors in a year when we could have used a softer opening schedule.

This team will also be battle tested if they have to go on the road for a regional. I like the pitching depth in the regional format also.

There may be two schools of thought on that. The early schedule pretty much evaporated any delusions we fans may have had about how good this team is right now. There is a lot of talent, they are just not acclimated to the rigors of SEC play. This may be a trial-by-fire stretch where we come out battered but hardened like high-strength forge steel. How we look in the next two series will indicate if the younger guys are moving in the right direction.

This isn’t as big of a deal like it is in college basketball. The crowds generally suck outside of a few schools
