Baseball Zealot talks with Big Ten Hardball

The Iowa Baseball Program has released their 2008 baseball schedule. They will take part in two tournaments this year. The first tournament will be hosted by Notre Dame in Clearwater, Fla and the other tournament will be hosted by Vanderbilt. The teams in each tournament are unannounced. The top OOC game for the Hawkeyes will be when perennial power Nebraska visits them on April 8th. The full schedule is available here. Big Ten Hardball had this schedule posted a few weeks ago and I forgot to add the link.

Brian DeCaussin of Big Ten Hardball recently did an interview with The Baseball Zealots and discussed the Big Ten conference race among many other things. The full interview can be heard by clicking here. Brian has an excellent blog which can be read here and The Baseball Zealot does an excellent job of covering all baseball news across the country and you can read them by clicking here.
