several teams from the North come down for the Snowbird Classic here in Charlotte County...Ohio State, etc...it's some pretty good ball...

Yes. If they want to play before mid March they have to go south. And even in mid March the weather is spotty. When my boys were playing Little League I would freeze in April.

several key OF and IF starters returning (pitching also)...new talent all over...good coaching staff...I'm going for a Super Regional...

Too early to tell, need to at least see the arms and bats as we go along. OField seems pretty sharp!

Hot Rod and the boys looked pretty good...shutout, baby...gotta like the start...long way to go yet, and I'm so happy...

PS. hopefully we'll be seeing several more shutouts this season...ya'll have a good day and night...and,

GO BIG ORANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think anybody expected a lot of hitting in this weather. Still managed a couple of dingers. I'll take it.

 

[BruinVol]

Cold day and the best chance for a decent game. This game will be the closest game of the 3

Vols 6-0

Well damn if we hadn’t missed that last FG I’d have nailed it
