Who gives a frick about college baseball and softball? Nobody I know. Never have. STL, for example, is all about Cardinals baseball and 11 WS titles.

And relatively nobody across the nation gives a frick about college baseball compared with football and hoops. Fewer and fewer kids are even interested in playing anymore in this country. It's so much bigger in Latin America, Japan and South Korea. That's why more and more MLB players are Hispanics and Asians. Not many black athletes choose baseball anymore. College baseball gets the leftovers.

Football season can't start soon enough. College baseball is a giant bore.
I want to talk Arky flag football.
Florida certainly hit 100 buzzer beaters by hiring Golden. He outcoached a really good coach last night to win the title.

That defense was on par with Houston's last night. Houston's last 3 possessions all ended in turnovers. The Gators caused those turnovers. That's coaching. Their defense is so improved over last year.

The Gators had 9 turnovers in the first half to just 1 for Houston. It totally turned around in the 2nd half, when the Gators only had 4 turnovers to 8 for Houston. Adjustments were made.

And his play calling out of timeouts was outstanding. It seemed they scored just about every time when they had the ball out of a timeout.

Golden is only 39 and has a title. Look out below.

I agree. Wasted money on a who gives AS college sport. Attendance is a joke compared with football and hoops. There is relatively zero interest in watching it on TV. And nationally, it just does not register at all. Nobody gives AS around the country about college baseball or the College WS. You know why? Because it sucks all the way down to the "ping" of the bat.

I prefer my school funnel baseball money to college sports that matter: football and hoops.

The main reason Arky fans love college baseball is because they suck every year at football, the king of college sports.

Houston's phenomenal D made Duke lose.

Yep. Houston was the most hated 1 seed by the "experts" before the tourney. They discounted that D and that coach. And they know how to win close games.

And Houston knows how to ramp up the pressure.

I tried to tell you about Houston and underestimating them. They have a way of keeping it or making it close, and when they do, they win.

Yeah, and that horrific Duke TO on the inbounds play decided the outcome in the end.

C'mon. Duke kicked the ball out of bounds once and the refs gave it to Duke. And that was just one call.
Yeah, Clayton just takes care of business methodically.

All the experts have been underestimating Houston from the start. Ask Tenner about Houston.
Gotta love the way Clayton plays and carries himself, like he's been there before.
You had to love CBM's up and down brain fart at the end. That was the dagger.

re: AU never wins shite

CBM made it very hard to ever root for Auburn.

But not as hard as rooting for Bama with Brandon Killer.

re: SEC States with the best BBQ

Posted by 6columns on 4/2/25 at 9:56 pm
I hate to admit this coming from STL, but KC is the BBQ king of the world. The Kansas City Barbeque Society sanctions over 375 BBQ cookoffs across the U.S. annually, including many in the KC area, making it a hub for barbecue enthusiasts and competitions.

And Arthur Bryant's there put BBQ on the cuisine map long before it had the popularity it has today. It was the 1st BBQ joint to regularly make the NYT best restaurants list. To be honest, though, I think many BBQ joints today are better than Arthur Bryant's, which had a kind of a love it or hate it flavor.

But I will say that STL is now home to many great BBQ joints as well -- Pappy's and the Shaved Duck for 2.

Just like everything else, great BBQ is in the taste buds of the diner, so to speak.

I like just about all BBQ -- from Texas to Alabama. What's not to like?

I guess runners aren't the brightest bulbs, such as this one by his own admission. And you ever see a runner having fun? They look like torture victims.

Well, guess you don't know much Auburn hoops history and that Final Four in 2019.

And you're hardly a real Auburn hoops fan if you signed up for a stupid trail run in ignorance of the NCAA Tournament schedule and with Auburn having a good chance at returning to the Final Four.

Cancel the trail run if you really care. Doubt you do.
Yeah? Then how come no losing players or coaches ever praise God after they lose? Strange, I tell you! :lol:
I guess we've reached the point where Florida and Auburn fans are no longer rooting for the SEC.
