Only a few weeks till opening pitch

Any school other than LSU have people make hype videos etc? Would love to see some if you guys had any.

I just did a quick search and found one from 2009. The rest were highlight videos of particular seasons.

So who is playing the first game?

I am assuming it would be someone on the East Coast. Don't most games start at 7:00?

Most of 'em. I had thought Edisto would know.

There are a number of 12 pm games but nothing of interest. Maybe the UVA/ Kentucky game. Then there are a few at 1 and then tons of games at 3 and 4. And it goes on into the night. hell I thought I saw an 11 pm game.

That's a great test for UVA. I know Kentucky isn't suppose to be as special as they have been in recent years, but still a big game to start the year for both squads.

Good stuff, ref.

College Baseball is not dying in the South, that's for sure.

Indeed not, LSU nets 6 MILLION for baseball season. We have so many legitimate baseball teams out here too. Southeastern, ULL, and Tulane all have solid squads that usually can slip in and out of the rankings. Also Southern University sometimes puts together a competitive squad.

The ACC has plenty of consistent teams but no NC's. We need to do something about that.

There are always contenders too. I would never bet money on an ACC team in Omaha until they can make that change. I don't think any team from the South will win it again this year, another year of West Coast with the small being huge in Omaha.

Probably so but I sure hope an ACC team can finally take it home.

My money is on Cal State Fullerton this year. Pre-season polls in baseball are the most useless thing. Not nearly enough information on teams to make an informed decision pre-season.

They're usually dreadfully incorrect. Just look at the final poll in comparison.

Wow. I saw one that had CSF at #1, LSU at #2. What happened, did they lose or something?

 

[theboardref]

Indiana, Kansas State, Oregon all top 6 is a joke. No way Oregon State should start at 1. Vandy, Mississippi State, Virginia should all be top 10 teams.
