To be fair, this dude is like 5'10 and went undrafted. He basically went all in on beating Bama and didn't really do much else.


Cases like this were bound to happen after the NIL debacle. I've pointed out before what is to keep a good serviceable college QB with no real shot at the NFL (Pavia, for example) of hanging around forever and being paid handsomely if some college team thinks he can help them win, regardless of age and number of years already played. It beats flipping burgers.

Those were bad but the worst HAD to be The Citadel in 1992. First year in the big, bad SEC and the opening game of the year lose to THE CITADEL??

Then pasted USCe the next week and got scorched by Bama a week or two later. First play from scrimmage Bama goes 80 right up the gut.

Any game with Chad Morris was a bad loss, even if the loss was expected. That squirrelly eyed douche was just...

I won't stop at just the SEC. My domination will impose a rule that conferences may not be larger than that which would allow each team to play every other team in the conference.

Perhaps, we should regionalize them.


That's what you had in the old SWC, Big 8, ACC and Pac 8. Even when there was just a 10 game schedule everybody played everybody.

So when does this seep down to HS and 22 year old men are playing against 15 year old kids?

Why can't an organization have rules?
Didn't "drop" the foul ball. It fell between three fielders, one of which (Shaddy) damned sure had no business being anywhere near the ball and right fielder Eric Cole pulling up because of said Shaddy being where he had no business being.

But Shaddy had pulled a bonehead play earlier in the game, and being from Fayetteville he was hell bent on being the hometown hero and catch the last out. Instead, he's part of a meme that will live in infamy.
Who did Auburn throw? Did they "save" their #1 for later because this was a gimme? If so, let this be a lesson to all those who advocate for throwing your #3 guy against a "weak" opponent and saving your stud for later. May not be no later.

But then again Bob Gibson couldn't help if the offense is shut out through the first three.

Not expecting much from Texas today, we’re pitching a freshman with very little playing time. Resting up for the regionals.


Arkansas will probably make him look like the second coming of Koufax, Ryan and Gibson all combined. Kinda like getting excited when hearing the Bama QB was injured back in 2002 or 2003 and Brodie Croyle came in and looked like Tom Brady.

I don't know if Omaha current has what is needed for the trial run, I know they told the ABS people no this year, but I didn't pry into why.


Omaha is a Triple A stadium. I think the ABS was tested at the Triple A level before being used in MLB thus don't know why couldn't be used in the CWS.

Anybody have stats on overturned/not overturned ball/strike calls?

re: SEC Baseball Tournament - Tuesday

Posted by Fan1958 on 5/20/26 at 8:14 am to
I suspect the catcher was accustomed to that pitch being called a strike even though the umpires have known that pitch is off the plate. Now that Big Brother is looking over their shoulder they gotta get it right or look like dummies. Hope the conference uses it in the regular season next year. Yeah, it'll cost some $$$ but the SEC is floating in money.

re: LSU fan arrested

My 2009 trip to "vaunted" Tiger Stadium saw all the stereotypes come to pass. The only reason I didn't clock the 21 y. o. prick was because I had my wife, 17 year-old son and son's friend and I didn't want to spend the night in the East Baton Rouge Parish jail.

I will give credit to the few LSU fans who were truly embarrassed and apologized for the corndog's behavior.

Maybe 8&5 should take a page from that playbook since they are historically so successful in all their sports.
Tom Pagnozzi has to be up there. Both had 12 year careers. Pags had a MLB lifetime BA of .253, OBP of .299, slugging .359 and OPS of .658. Only 44 HRs though.

McCann had a BA of .242, OBP of .294, .382 slugging and OPS of .676 and 97 HRs.

Maybe until the opposition realized he was like Serrano (not Serraneaux) and he couldn't hit a curve ball.

Not very well. In fact, most likely be embarrassed beyond words.

Nah, LSU or Bama, or maybe Baylor, will bring him back and pay him more than he's making in the NFL.

It's only a matter of time before the uniforms look like the jumpsuit worn by Ricky Bobby.

Doesn't Auburn fit this description?
The flea flicker on the first possession of the second half is what nearly did it to The U. Driving, OM didn't stand a chance and you pull that dumb arse thing out of the playbook.
Why? OM appears to be chugging along just fine with Laney in BR. Or we guess he's in BR. Since he left the bowl game early who knows where he might be.
