There is only one other game in college baseball history that could top it…you know....
I was there. I was living in NOLA at the time and someone got me tickets. It was fun watching big bad Miami come in thinking they owned the world and get their asses handed to them. That Lamar Thomas strip happened not far from where I was sitting and it was something to behold....
He bit my head off yesterday for that....

That is amazing. Did you live in Detroit in 1976?...

What I saw online was the fact that the only other starter with as few starts as him was Mark Fidrych. I wasn't aware of who he was or his story. When I read into it, I thought it was damned interesting....

Yes, are you legitimately making fun of my handicap?...

Exactly. If everyone feels better, I changed the title. I didn't know Mark Fidrych or his story, and I thought others on the board might like to learn about it as well since it came up in connection with Skenes. People on this board are so fricking sensitive about anything they see as a possible...

Skenes joins Mark Fidrych

Skenes joins Mark Fidrych as the only two rookies to be All-Star starters with a mere 11 starts under their belts. If you don't know the story about Mark Fidrych, you should. He is like the 70s all wrapped up in one person, a quirky fellow who absolutely exploded onto the scene in 1976, had a seas...
And since OU’s last title, it goes as follows: Alabama - 6 LSU - 3 (including beating them in the title game and demolishing them in the playoff) UGA - 2 UF - 2 (also beat them in the title game) AU - 1 So even excluding the two he mentioned, there are three additional SEC programs with 6 ...
Every fan base at the major programs is like this. Maybe he was just used to TCU, where they're just happy to be there....
I agree except that I think the rise of LSU (hiring of Skip after helping Ron Fraser build Miami into a monster in the early 80s) had a lot to do with what Ron Maestri did at UNO. I don't think anyone at LSU thought baseball would ever be anything but a third world sport in the SEC but when they sa...
One thing I will say in her defense: At least she is a woman....
LSU First-1977 Miss St Best-in a loss, @ Auburn in 2010 In a win, Earthquake Game, just because I was a student and it seemed surreal at the time Worst-1993 Florida, stayed for every second of the 58-3 blowout. On a positive note, we scored first....
Coach O is the ultimate all or nothing guy. Survives a loss to Troy in his first full season to get to the greatest season of all time in 2019, then proceeds to have the worst two LSU seasons in 20+ years the next two seasons....
At first I thought hitting the Tommy was a euphemism for fricking....

I’m all for the All Valley exemption to the finals for last year’s champion a la Karate Kid III....
