NCAA Regionals Open Thread
HenryJames leaves the country for two weeks and manages to arrive back in Austin within an hour of first pitch. Reason #4,590 to loathe this man. But he still uses a travel agent and is excited about getting a cellular flip phone for Christmas, so I find my sympathies conquering sheer hatred once...
Sticky Notes
As May marches on, the NCAA baseball picture continues to come into focus. Even from last week to this week, fans can now flex a bit more certainty when looking toward Omaha. And by the way…that Garrett Wittels guy (the one with the hitting streak) that was mentioned last week? He’s...
WSU BASEBALL: What Went Wrong In 2011? Part 2 - It's Called Run Prevention
A week ago, we examined an objective way to compare the 2010 and 2011 WSU baseball seasons in an effort to determine just how the Cougars fell so far short of expectations this year. Through our use of Weighted On Base Average, we were able to determine, with some degree of certainty, what it...
WSU BASEBALL: What Went Wrong In 2011? Part 1 - It's Probably Not What You Think

College World Series 2011: South Carolina 5, Texas A&M 4 -- What's It Like to Lose a Game?
It has been almost a year since South Carolina lost a game in the NCAA tournament, so it didn't necessarily feel like things were lost when they went down 4-0 in the first inning against Texas A&M in the Gamecocks' first game of the College World Series. And that was even before things got...
College World Series 2011: Florida, Vanderbilt Win in First Games at Generic Corporately Named CWS Stadium
With the new championship series format of the College World Series, it's not quite as important to stay out of the losers' bracket. But it's still important enough to try to stay on the right side of the double-elimination tournament. So far, so good for the SEC after a sweep in the first two...

LSU Baseball Claims 16th Straight National Attendance Title, But The Numbers Are Misleading
Various media outlets are reporting on today's release by the Wichita St. Athletics Dept. (who keeps track of this for some reason) of the final attendance figures for D-1 baseball in 2011. While the numbers again prove the outstanding popularity of the sport at both LSU and the SEC at-large, a...
