Gotta say, Tibbs outran that throw to third, but 4 out of 4 times, if he makes an out at 3rd, it's terrible base running.

I was in college so long ago that half the elements hadn't been discovered yet. I do remember learning about Beam and Coke. And Alka Seltzer.

Mentioned OOC schedules. Naturally, teams in the North have to deal with that a lot and their records often reflect it. Southern programs are outdoors in February when teams from the North are hoping to get their reps in a gym. But the better Northern programs can use the travel as a recruiting...

That logic makes sense if you have a good enough 1-guy. That would put Burns in an almost ideal environment. But ECU decided to save THEIR ace and I don't really believe they expected that to turn out like it did. Yesavage would still have needed to pitch a shutout in G. 1, but nobody could...

Wake and ECU did the same thing; they won the Regional before they played a game. How do you not use your ace in the first game? Then again, the opener concept has gained traction over recent years. Baseball is cruel and creates heroes in strange places. I saw some phenomenal pitching in the...

The Aces have a lot of swag, but I think that's the nature of the college athlete now. I still hear people complain about how the kids don't respect the game. It took me a minute to embrace their zeal, but I have. UE baseball has come a long way from my years there when the baseball diamond...

Hey out there. Evansville alum/fan posting here for the first time after being invited by a couple of Vols fans commenting on the Purple Aces board. All I gotta say here is: Wow. The best 8 teams in the world going to Omaha, and UE would be 9th if I do some peculiar Indiana math. I can't say I...
