Illinois-Ohio State matchup this weekend!

vsevansville5-6 053

#27 Ohio State is coming to town this weekend (most likely, they’re already here) to face #25 University of Illinois Fighting Illini.  The biggest series of the season is almost upon us. 

I did an interview of Drew Grigsby, die-hard fan Buckeye fan and he gives a rather in-depth look at our adversaries.  It’s posted at Illinois Baseball Report where you’ll also find the schedule for the weekend. 

The weather reports promise that the rain will clear up this afternoon so I’m looking forward to a great weekend!

If you’re in the area, come on out this weekend and support the Illini baseball team!

IBR links cuz it’s a happenin’ place

I just posted a Q & A of star shortstop Brandon Wikoff (above) over at Illinois Baseball Report last night.  He’s good now and is definitely worth keeping your eye on.  Check out the interview over at IBR.

Illinois, fresh off their sweep of Penn State last weekend (which put them in a tie for first place with Ohio St in the Big Ten), just defeated Southern Illinois Salukis in a mid-week non-conference.  I just came from the game and was able to get some photos.  Check out the write-up and some photos also at IBR

Finally, for those who keep tabs on Willie Argo (and you really should), he took the Big Ten Player of the Week Award for his performance against PSU. 

PS. he’s not stopping there.  He hit a grand slam tonight.

Go Illini!

IBR interviews UM blogger before upcoming Illini series

In anticipation of Illinois’ series with Michigan this coming weekend up in Ann Arbor, I’ve done a Q&A interview with a blogger from Varsity Blue, a most excellent UM sports blog. 

You can find the Q&A over at Illinois Baseball Report.

Michigan is the defending Big Ten champs but VB will be the first to tell you that they’ve lost more than a few players over the off-season.  So far, they are 18-10 (3-3 in the Big Ten).  Yet, they are still Michigan and it doesn’t help that we are playing on their home turf. 

Update: And yes, I did an interview with Varsity Blue where I give them the scoop on the Illini.

Go Illinois!!

Scientific American interviews UI professor on the physics of baseball

Just in time for the start of the baseball season, Scientific American has published an interview with University of Illinois physics professor Alan Nathan on his favorite topic:  The Physics of Baseball. 

Way back when at a time when we had the time to do a podcast, we interviewed Dr Nathan on Baseball Zealot Radio.  I’m sure the physics of our sport haven’t changed too much so take a listen.

Baseball Zealot Radio interviews Haunted Baseball author Dan Gordon

It’s spooky enough that a Red Sox fan and a Yankee fan can get together and accomplish anything but the book Haunted Baseball (which has its own brand of spookiness) is proof enough that it can happen.

Dan Gordon (the Red Sox fan) is my guest this week on Baseball Zealot Radio and he’s talking up the book. Here are the show notes:
