Spring Break
MU sports spring out of winter

While a football game may be a marathon within itself, each baseball game is a short sprint to the finish line; baseball is only a distance race when the season is taken as a whole.
It is for this reason that I have always felt that "any given Sunday," is really a better description of a baseball game than a football game-and following the Cubs for so many years has taught me the need to believe that my team could win on any day, no matter how the season as a whole had progressed.
So, hope still springs eternal for the Miami baseball team. A rough start should in no way dampen the spirits of the RedHawk faithful this early on in the season.
Unfortunately for me, along with anyone else who is starving for America's pastime, the games in Oxford only begin in earnest after spring break, with the exception of a brief stopover on March 11 when the 'Hawks play host to Wright State University.
Until then, as long as the mercury continues its climb in the thermometer, I think that I will survive.
