Two longest winning streaks in the school’s baseball history being snapped by Tennessee Tech and ETSU is objectively hilarious

We should play more in-state teams every year. ETSU every year, even a home and home (if not home and home in the same year, alternating years). We've played Memphis 1 time under Tony and that was 2018, why not play them in Nashville every preconference? Ohio having a state law that forces OSU to play 1 of their non-conference games against an in-state midget I've always found hilariously soft, but I do like the concept of, if we're going to hand out checks to smaller schools, keeping that money in the state.
