Let me start from the beginning: First, the dinosaurs ruled the earth, then they all got fat and died and turned into oil, then... no, that's too far back.

It's a game where you hit a ball and then run around some bases.

Strictly professional & youth/Interscholastic.   They don't play it at the collegiate level.

They had 8,000 people there when we played them. I don't think they will be needing an expansion anytime soon. I'd feel bad for them, but I can't. I'm still real frustrated about that loss we took to them, and I know others are too.

Go to CUSA website, look up baseball standings from last season and see who's missing (besides us).  From (faulty) memory, I don't think UTEP plays baseball either.

Your memory is correct.  The only schools without baseball are North Texas and UTEP.
