re: What college did you almost attend?

University of Maryland. Wanted to play baseball there and they showed mild interest. Coach told me to come enroll and participate in walk on tryouts. Decided it wasn't worth moving that far from home just for a tryout and no scholarship even though it was my only chance at a DI school. Ended up turning down opportunities from a few NAIA schools, just said frick it, quit playing and went to LSU.

I sometimes wish I'd have tried it, but wouldn't have met my wife, found the job I have now, etc. so overall I don't regret it.
