I've been to some amazing JUCO games already this season. Instead of dudes worrying about how much they are going to get for playing for a school, at most D1 schools there is no NIL and almost no one is getting a full scholarship. The quality is definitely better the further south you go, but you clearly don't know ball. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying it's impossible to predict a result even if the game is 14-1 in the 5th inning. DirtyRican likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depleted pitching staffs, comically bad umpiring, unusual fields, freezing temps, 1 stray lightning strike every 20 minutes delaying games for hours. I'm all in. billiken_roy, BillTheCat and Dr Bird like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We beat them 2 out of 3 in St. Louis and it took a late rally for them to win Sunday. When they got to Omaha a reporter asked Rick Jones their coach about their great season but then threw in, "how the f*ck did you lose 2 to St. Louis". Anything can happen which makes it awesome.

BillTheCat Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 D1 Baseball's Preseason projection to the Raleigh regional... Having a 4 seed in this regional would actually be pretty good... stronger position than 12 other 4 seed teams. Super Regional at either The Box or O'Brate...

I remember that series well. I’m sure I have the scorecards somewhere. They used to give them out at games. Pujols was a rookie for the Cardinals and he WENT OFF that same weekend. Good times! I already have tickets to the SLU game in New Orleans this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing at Tulane was fun, they had fans pouring beer on us from the seats above the dugout. I had one of my lowest moments there when I was a freshman, hit a line drive off the top of the right field wall and got hosed by 5 feet at 2nd because I thought it was gone. Hughes let me have it. In 2001, I think Tulane was 15th in the country when we beat them twice and then they went on a huge run and took out LSU.
