My son plays college baseball, but not Div. I. Unfortunately, he's had recent seizures that brought upon a diagnosis of epilepsy and additional appointments with a neurologist and seizure specialists. He also sprained his shoulder in the last episode, which happened in our home the day he was planning to head back to school to start his second semester. As a result of all of this he will have to sit out the season.
As far as the big time schools, this season I'll follow Texas A & M because my older son's childhood friend plays for them. He was an outstanding little leaguer here before his family moved to Texas. I also like South Carolina. I'm not sure how strong the Gamecocks are this year. I'm sorry to hear about you son, I hope everything turns out well for you and your family! TAMU is in the middle of the pack for SEC baseball, but the Gamecocks are usually up at the top with LSU and Arkansas. It should be another great season all around.

I like watching the women's softball. I can't believe how fast they pitch and that the batters can actually have time to swing. I'm sure they are guessing most of the time. Do they wear tight uniforms? I only ask from a purely sporting and scientific stance of course. VERY tight pants!

Don't get to close Yogi, some of those young women could kick your ass.

Believe it or not baseball is pretty spread out. In the SEC you have your traditional power houses like LSU, South Carolina and Arkansas that are competing in the World Series or at least a Super Regional every year.
On the East Coast, North Carolina is usually always in the College World Series.
In the midwest there is Rice, Baylor, Texas, and Oklahoma that usually produce pretty good teams on a consistent basis.
West coast has UCLA, and smaller schools that succeed like UC Irvine.
The beauty about baseball is anyone can win on any given day. It isn't like the odds are stacked up against one team based on conference. Two years ago, and you can ask anyone in the state of Louisiana, we were shocked that Stoneybrook College out of NY came down to Baton Rouge and beat us out back to back in a best of 3 games tourney to advance to College World Series! Trust me no matter how small Stoneybrook is, I will never forget that name even after I die!

Villanova 0-3 v. Charleston Southern. On to the Norfolk State Invitational. It's still not too late to turn the season around. I saw UNC lost to the College Of Charleston, that's gotta hurt for those boys.

I saw a college baseball game where a batter struck out twice in one at-bat. It was Kutztown State v. Albright College in Reading, PA about 5 years ago. The batter, a back up catcher, struck out, but stayed in the box, apparently unsure of the count. The scoreboard cleared the count. And the batter continued to bat whereupon he struck out again and took his seat. The next batter flied out and the Kutztown team headed off the field, thinking that there were three outs, which the scoreboard showed.
Albright, whose leadoff hitter was a runner on first, rightfully claimed that the inning could not be over as they only sent three batters to the plate and one remained safe on first. Thus, the inning continued with the umpire and Kutztown coach embarrassed.
