Alright, so here’s the thing. My nephew’s super into Aquinas baseball this year, keeps bugging me about when they play next. Totally blanked on checking their 2025 schedule myself until tonight. Figured it’d be a quick Google search, right? Yeah, not so much at first. Sat down with my coffee and dove in.
The Initial Frustration
Opened up the browser and just typed “Aquinas College baseball schedule 2025” straight in. Hit enter. Big mistake. First few links? All ads for ticket resellers and generic sports sites wanting me to sign up for subscriptions. Annoying. Scrolled past those, saw some stuff for past seasons like 2024. Useless. Even found some old forum posts asking the same question about last year. Sigh.
Almost gave up, honestly. Thought maybe it was too early or something, but nah, season starts soon! Kept digging.
The “Official Site” Hunt
Remembered the smart move – go to the source. Decided to find Aquinas College’s official athletics site. Google said it was “Saints Athletics” or whatever. Cool. Found it after clicking one… maybe two links? Easy.
Then came the navigation nightmare. Their site? Menu overload. Sports dropdown like a mile long. Found “Baseball” eventually. Okay, clicked… saw “Schedule” right there. Relief washed over me for a second. Clicked “2025 Schedule”.
Nothing.
Blank page. “No events scheduled.” Cue internal screaming. Seriously?
Scratched my head. Checked the top corner. Uh oh. The default view was stuck on “Fall 2024”. Massive facepalm moment. Fiddled with the season dropdown menu – practically hidden – finally found “Spring 2025”. Boom! There it was. Full schedule right there. Game dates, opponents, locations, the works. Like finding buried treasure after stepping on the shovel ten times.
Alternate Free Spots (Just in Case)
Figured others might hit the same walls. Wanted backup spots – you know, free ones that aren’t a mess.
- Team Social Media: Obvious choice, but you gotta know where to look. Headed over to their team accounts. Found the official Aquinas baseball Twitter handle. Scrolled their feed. Coaches are actually good about posting schedule updates and game reminders there. Even saw a pinned tweet from January with the full schedule image. Easy grab.
- Conference Site: Remembered Aquinas plays in the WHAC (Wolverine-Hoosier something Conference). Went searching for that conference’s official site. Navigation was… slightly less terrible than some college sites. Found the baseball section, then the schedule dropdown. Yep, lists all teams in the conference, including Aquinas. Their full 2025 schedule displayed plain as day, along with other teams’. Solid fallback.
- Local News Sites / Fan Forums: This one’s hit or miss, depends on the school. Typed “Aquinas baseball 2025 schedule” again but checked the “News” tab. Some niche local sports blogs actually pick these up early. Found one that had published the schedule a few weeks back. Also peeked at a fan forum – unofficial, kinda clunky. Someone had helpfully copied and pasted the whole schedule into a forum post back in December. Score. Not the first place I’d go, but a decent option if the other spots glitch.
So yeah, what felt like a simple question ended up being a bit of an adventure. The official site’s schedule page was the golden ticket… once I stopped fighting the default settings. Socials and the conference site were clutch free alternatives though. Piece of cake once you know where the levers are.
