Christmas in February

by One Man To Beat on Feb 4, 2012 11:56 AM EST

The Ole Miss baseball season is nearly upon us. Less than two weeks from now, the Rebels will have played their first game of the 2012 season against TCU in Fort Worth (more like NO WORTH amirite?).

If you're a good Rebel like myself, you may have already received a little something in the mailbox today. Check it out after the jump.

That would be the front and back of the season ticket books for this season. Pretty sweet looking in my opinion. The tickets feature players like Matt Snyder and Alex Yarbrough either in action or half of their face on the side of the ticket.

Thirty one home games and 25 road trips await eager Rebel fans hoping for a return to the postseason. Highlighting this year's schedule are home series against preseason #1 Florida, Arkansas and LSU. Southern Miss will also make a one game appearance at Swayze Field.

For what it's worth, Mrs. One Man To Beat and I will be on the third base side, Sec. M, up near the front if you want to stop by and chat. I can't promise we'll be at every game, but I can promise we'll be more than happy to talk baseball as long as you bring us food or a red cup. Priorities people.

So what do y'all think of the ticket design for this season? Post your comments below and once you get your tickets, feel free to post where you'll be sitting this season. If it's the OF, fully expect a visit from yours truly.

I'm really starting to get the baseball season jitters now.

Posts like this reaffirm my commitment to move back to Oxford, or close enough to travel there frequently. Right Field Lounge is one of the greatest places on earth. Gotta start planning trips now.

Love the look of the season tix.

Does anyone know if Rebelvision carries every non-televised baseball game?

We have significant experience on this year's team.

A good year is possible if we can find some pitching. I feel good about Wall and Huber. I don’t know enough about the other guys to make heads or tails of them, but I do know that if we can’t secure a Saturday and Sunday starter, it will be another long season…

On the flip side, Mathis, Yarbrough, and a healthy Snyder at the top of the order should produce a good amount of offense. If Will Allen steps up (/learnshowtohitabreakingball) and Preston Overbey becomes the consistently strong offensive guy he can be, we should score plenty of runs.

Lastly, this team is fast. Very fast. I look forward to seeing us run the bases like we did in the Ju, Henry/Jo. Henry/Coghlan/Cozart days.

Wish I was still living in Oxford this year...

Had season tix last year and (even though the season didn’t turn out as well as I’d hoped) enjoyed every second at nearly every home game. I think I only missed two. Anyway, I moved to Jackson last Summer and wife’s having a baby in March, so I doubt I will get to make many (if any) games this year.

It appears, at least for now, that our TV time will be drastically reduced compared to last year (schedule on olemisssports.com shows only like 2 games will be on TV). It seems like I remember a lot of our games being added to TV schedule just before (or maybe even after) the first game of the year, last year. I hope that this is the case again this year.

Does anyone know anything about the possibility of the diamond Rebs getting some more games televised?

I would love to be able to at least watch them on TV, since I won’t be there in person.

P.S. – I’m watching STATE-Auburn right now and it baffles me how out of shape ReLARDo Sidney is at this point in the season. Seems like playing two conference games a week would improve your conditioning, at least somewhat.

I don't know anything specific about televised baseball games

but they did schedule more games on television as the season progressed last year if memory serves. And if you have Xbox live, you can usually catch some on ESPN3 with the ESPN app on there.
