And we're back with an offseason podcast covering the end of the baseball season and the various goings on in UNO athletics thus far this summer. Topics include outlooks on baseball and basketball going forward, updates on Privateers in the pros, as well as hoops coach Mark Slessinger's contract extension and the just-announced 2014-15 basketball schedule.

Topics of discussion: The Baseball Privateers' disappointing 1-5 Southland start, the win over Tulane, Tulane's weaselly bunt to break up a no-hitter with two outs in the 8th inning of a blowout, the upcoming six game homestand at Maestri Field, and Stephen F. Austin's great NCAA Basketball Tournament showing.

This is a special "baseball season preview" edition of the Privateer Island Podcast in advance of opening day.

We discuss the returnees, who left the program, and do our best to guess about the 17 newcomers we've never seen. Plus a few Privateer Island Radio memories from last season, and some more reiteration that Ron Maestri is UNO's head baseball coach. We close the episode with an update on the two Privateers in Major League Baseball, Joey Butler and Johnny Giavotella.
