Perfect baseball weather in Omaha for tonight.

78°
Partly Cloudy
Humidity 52%
Wind: NNW @ 7 mph

Right field home runs not out of the question. That would favor Virginia.

Vanderbilt has never, ever, ever, won a national championship in men's athletics.
They were established in 1873 (141 yrs).

That ERA for UVA in the NCAAs should be illegal.
