[quote]UK baseball has been by far the "douchiest" team I've witnessed on the last fifteen years. It really doesn't matter what team it was or where. Been to UK for a couple series, seen them in Fayetteville several times. Doesn't matter the players, just the team in general ever season. They were T...
He also qualified for Georgia’s in-state scholarship (Hope Scholarship?), so he was getting aid that no other SEC school could offer, even though he was technically a walk on. ...

[quote]In my experience, LSU baseball fans are totally different than their football drunks. They are well behaved and know the game. I've watched many a State vs. LSU series and it's like two pro fanbases watching every pitch. Cool experience.[/quote]Depends on where you sit when you visit the Box....
Looks like GT played at Auburn in 1904 (before SEC was formed) but didn't go back to the Plains until 1970. They played a few games in Birmingham before that (starting in 1960), but for decades all games were played in Atlanta, for the money (teams used to split the gate evenly, so Auburn made more ...

[quote]Idk that we’ll get it in Hoover but I really want to see Condon face Hagan for 2-3 ABs[/quote]I wouldn't be shocked if we saw an Arkansas/UGA super regional. You know the committee will try to keep SEC numbers in Omaha down by pairing them up for the supers....

[quote]Kolton Smith has something like a 0.65 ERA on his last 6 appearances, let’s hope he keeps it up[/quote]I think I'd take the over in games 2 and 3. SC burning Good and UGA burning Smith in Game 1 doesn't bode well for the pitching going forward....

[quote]You don’t know your history. At the time, Auburn had played UF more than any SEC team other than UGA (maybe MSU). Auburn’s main recruiting areas have always been the states of Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Auburn fought to have UF as an annual rival (and would never have fought to avoid havin...
If the criteria is "nicest," in football, that's going to be Kyle Field. 60% of the seats built in 2014-15, 80% of the concourses date from that renovation, and the rest from 1999. I have not been to any SEC basketball venues except Reed, so I will pass on that. Reed seems to be kind of middle of...

Big win for your Gators last night. Any chance they find someone to play a non-conference game next week to give them some margin for error?...
I mostly agree with you, the committee doesn't usually put much weight on the tournament. But, when they are looking for a rationale to support what they want to do, they will occasionally cite tournament results. All I'm saying is that it might matter how LSU reaches 4-2 (winning both series, versu...
[quote]4 more conference wins and I think you’re in assuming there isn’t a large # of bid stealers.[/quote]I tend to agree, but it would probably be best if the four wins came in the form of a series win at Bama and series win hosting Ole Miss rather than one at Bama and sweeping Ole Miss. In case o...

[quote]And when he said busted, was it ..."this year" and does busted mean, "Fined, Loss of Schollys, Loss of postseason play or what"...

Florida played Arkansas tough on the road, which ought to give Gator fans hope that they do even better against UT at Gainesville. However, the Hogs and the Vols are very different teams, so maybe Gator fans should say a prayer for their pitchers (or donate some Spider Tack to the cause)....

Cain will probably be a head coach somewhere next year. He has done an excellent job in recruiting for A&M. Totally nailed the transfer portal, which will make him very attractive to a team looking to retool quickly....

This is what Trev Alberts was talking about in his introductory press conference. He said we were going to have to find a way to come up with $20 million per year to pay players. Seems that he wasn't exaggerating. ...

Sometimes a high conference finish will get the committee to overlook a suspect RPI, but the overall tough year for the Big XII might not result in say a 2nd place finish being given the same kind of consideration it might get most years. I wouldn't bet against Texas making the field, but I have to ...
