Thanks for the info. I'll have to put that on my bucket list.

Tae Bo?

Yep. Pretty remarkable that they were 1 of 8 teams in the country to even make it to the CWS. The media like to make a big deal of AU being picked to finish next to last in SECW, but baseball is often so streaky that it's really difficult to predict winners -- ask Tennessee about that. This year's team was really resilient & responded well to all the challenges put in front of them. WDE to the 2022 baseball team!

LOL While I can't speak to Cobb's sartorial splendor like you can, I can vouch for Tuberville's decision to swap out Campbell for Cobb against UF in 2001 -- masterstroke.

You got that right. Check out the stats from ESPN: Boxscore 8 batters faced & 6 first pitch strikes 33 pitches thrown & 23 strikes: 5 called strikes/ 8 swinging strikes/ 7 foul balls/ 3 in-play strikes

You want to know how AU won the game? Look no further than Burkhalter coming in with 2 on, 1 out in the bottom of the 7th: got the last 8 outs with 5 Ks on 33 pitches, and ... he faced OSU's heart of the lineup in the 2-3-4 hitters in the bottom of the 9th & flat out smoked them(!) "Smoke" Monday, indeed.

Great win & series against a solid opponent. Just goes to show you that Bruce Pearl was absolutely right about AU when he said:

Another name for it is the "Pineapple Express" -- air currents from the tropics/Hawaii arriving & dumping rain in the PNW. I've lived up here since 1988 and this has been one of the coldest & rainiest springs that I've experienced. We've had 2 days in April & 3 days in May where the high temperature broke 70 degrees, and that's just barely. The TV news reported we had a total of 5 hours above 70 degrees in May.

There's a good possibility of the games being rained out this weekend. Atmospheric river on the way

Great video, Stat Tiger (as usual.) Could all of these Run Offense videos be collected together in one location? I seemed to have missed the Part IV one.

New NCAA regulations re summer workouts New NCAA regulations allow for eight hours of workouts/practice when Harsin and the coaching staff can be present. Players can conduct training on their own without coaches around whenever they choose. As a bonus of the new rules, the Tigers are allowed two hours of on-field training with a football each week.
