Jamieson will enter his 15th season as the Tigers' head coach next spring with a record of 480-329-2. He needs just two victories to move into second place on the all-time wins list at Mizzou, passing former coach John "Hi" Simmons.Kendall Rogers at CollegeBaseball.Rivals.com says Missouri is still moving:
"We continue to be very pleased with Coach Jamieson's leadership of our baseball program," Alden said. "He truly focuses our team on our core values of academic excellence, social responsibility and competitive excellence."
Kendall Rogers also reports that the NCAA baseball committee is considering more policy changes:. . . it's a little interesting that people assume Missouri will decline without right-handed pitcher Aaron Crow in its weekend rotation. Sure, Crow had an exceptional career with the Tigers. Missouri, however, has plenty of viable options waiting in the wings.
- Eliminating distant travel for Regionals
- Reducing regular-season games from 56 to 52
- Tinkering with the transfer rule
And the Kansas City Star ran an odd story about what Aaron Crow is up to, basically portraying him as a bonus bum:
So you dial his phone number. You hear him pick up on the third ring. You ask if he’s still coming — a question Nationals fans can relate to.
“Oh dude, I am so sorry,” he says. “I totally forgot. I am so sorry. I’ll be right there.”
Thirty minutes later he walks through Booches’ front door. He’s wearing a gray Mizzou sweatshirt, is tall and thin and smiles shyly as he sits down and orders a Bud Light and two cheeseburgers.
“I’m so sorry.”
Crow quickly explains — you see, he’s not in college anymore, not playing baseball, not signed to a major-league team. Life is made up of staying up late, hanging out with friends, swinging by Missouri’s practices to feel like part of a team again, sleeping in and, yes, at times zoning out in front of the television and forgetting where he’s supposed to be.
“I’m not used to not having to be anywhere,” he says.
