Someone explain this banana ball to me

Something like each inning you’re competing to see who wins the point for that inning (sort of like sets in tennis) but if the teams tie then nobody gets the point. Normal baseball rules apply to how runs and hits are scored but outs have to be achieved with trick plays or by fans catching foul balls). Pitcher also moves a lot faster because the game is on a clock (I believe) and they will pause the game intermittently for circus acts and guest appearances.

I get why some are curmudgeons about it but it’s a net positive for baseball and kids/families love it so that’s a good thing.
He’s in the conversation, especially as an offensive player. Roch Chokowsky at UCLA, Lackey at Tech, Tague Davis at Louisville, Hairston at ASU, King (pitcher) at Florida, Grahovac at A&M are all also in contention for the Golden Spikes, Howser, etc

Jackson makes a pretty compelling case as the best though. SEC regular season triple crown winner, SEC POTY, 25/25 as a catcher (first ever catcher and one of only a handful to ever do it). He’s a unicorn in the same vein as Condon
Not that it mater sin he slightest but our RPI is down to 10 now

OP has been updated to reflect the season thus far and man is it fun to look back on right now
Man I loved the 2008 team in real time but idk if I’ve ever been so head over heels about a UGA baseball team as this one. Just incredible what they continue to do
Anyone’s game coming off this delay. 3 runs isn’t too much for this squad though I’m now unsure who we would have left to throw tomorrow should we win
I like the pitching matchup a lot more on this one but then Vigue has had his wildcard moments; pitched incredibly wel vs them in Game 2 earlier this year but has also had meltdowns and early exits.

How do we feel about BASEketball?

Masterpiece
105 off the tongue of the shoe. Brutal
bigD thinks we will face Russell Sandefer (3-2, 4.47 ERA). He started the Sunday game against us and gave up 5 runs on 5 hits over 1.2 innings and 13 batters faced.

Georgia does not want this smoke.

I really don’t
Who yall pitching on Saturday?
Was working out of town today but listened to the game when I could. Love that Huddy stepped up and delivered. Also encouraged that Joey gave us a solid 5 and Scott closed us out. Weird to see us playing the weekend in Hoover but I don’t hate it
Definitely Mizzou but I think they get run over by MSU tomorrow; from what I recall playing them earlier, they have exceedingly little bullpen depth and I'd wager they fired most all of their bullets today.

That is pretty cool only if you are able to control the littering. UA doesn't really do mark that as a tailgate spot, which I'm happy they don't. Let them rest in somewhat peace except when we score touchdowns.

I should be clear that it’s only open to tailgating by the football lettermen. Have to buy a pass to park there, too, so they have a very good idea of who attends and all are quite respectful of the space. Should also not that Vince Dooley is now buried in that cemetery.
Agreed, don’t think this changes much for them other than where they may end up playing. They’re put together enough to be able to compete wherever they go and they’ll still likely play a team 8-16 (just maybe not 15 or 16 like originally predicted)
Ole Miss will still be a 2 seed but now they may end up in Hattiesburg or Tallahassee instead of Lawrence or Eugene

Georgia - pretty, but seemed spread out and everything seemed to be on a hillside

Athens was founded on the overlook of the Oconee River. The town and north campus are on the overlook, as campus evolved, it moved down into the Tanyard creek valley (which feeds into the Oconee River to the east of Sanford Stadium) and then back up onto the other side. It’s honestly not that bad if you know where you’re going and how to get there. Of course, if you’re new to town or trying to manage throngs of people on Gameday then you’re likely going to follow crowds around the major road arteries

Which is actually really awesome and unique.

UGA has one too, Oconee Hill Cemetery. And before anyone goes there, both cemeteries were founded in the mid 1800s long before college football was a thing. Just happens that both schools ended up building giant college football stadiums next to the cemeteries (idk about Bama but UGA hosts tailgates in ours on Gameday which I always thought was kinda awesome)
quote:

totally agree that UGA's campus is super hilly. Would hate walking that as a student there. A major drawback

We have the most physically fit student population in the country for a reason. Always felt like LSUs campus was far more spread out than UGA
