2/8/2010 | Baseball
The 13 games is second most of any team in the league behind defending national champion LSU (16 games).
"Certainly it's exciting any time you get the opportunity to play on television, but to get to play on television so many times is even more exciting," said Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco. "Not only is this new arrangement with ESPN a benefit for the conference as a whole, but it's a tremendous boost for our program here at Ole Miss. Any time you get a chance to showcase your program nationally, it's a great thing."
Highlighting the television schedule for Ole Miss this season are seven home dates and six road contests. The Rebels will play on ESPNU four times, CSS four times, Fox Sports Net twice, SportSouth twice and ESPN2 once.
The home games on the schedule for the Rebels include two games against Florida (March 27 and 28 - CSS), all three games of the LSU series (April 23-25; ESPNU, FSN, CSS), and two games against Arkansas (May 7 and 8 - ESPNU).
The six road games are at Georgia (April 9 - ESPNU), at South Carolina (April 17 - SportSouth), the Mississippi State series (April 30 - May 2; FSN, SportSouth, CSS) and at Alabama (May 15 - ESPN2).
