The ESPN Week 14 Preview

It’s the final weekend of the regular season for most conferences and Walter Villa and I are here to break some of it down for you on ESPN.com’s College Sports page. I would say this is where we “break it ALL down for you” but the people at the Mother Ship don’t give me enough [...]

The ESPN Wrap-Up and Power Rankings

The latest (emphasis on “late”) wrap-up from ESPN and the new Power Rankings are out. Here’s where you click to get your fix ladies and gentlemen.

And just a small question here: Why on Earth did a handful of the 17 different rankings that were released on Monday have Florida State at No. 1? Even without the additional loss on Monday afternoon to Clemson, the Seminoles went 1-3 last week. Silly rankings.

We “CrissCross” the Country like Strangers On A Train

It was an interesting day in college baseball, this time full of excitement in the Top 25 of the rankings. There were upsets, no-hitters and conference champions crowned. We’ll take a full spin around the country and see all the highs, lows and edge-of-your-seat moments, worthy of a Hitchcock thriller.

It's as if Alfred himself reached down into our sport and made today a mystifying thrillride of screaming excitement.

An Uneventful Friday. Except for all the wicked-good pitching.

It was a rather uneventful day in college baseball. There were no big time matchups and no Earth-shattering upsets. Hell, there wasn’t even one of those all-the-rage no-hitters out there. What gives?

Yep, it's the NHL post-season time so he's got his playoff beard going. MoState's Nick Petree was a stud on the national scene once again today. See more on what below. (Please don't be mad that I borrowed your pic MSU)

Either way, we still take a quick swing around the country to see what the goods and bads were on this college baseball Friday.

The Distiller’s Dozen, May 10th

The Distiller’s Dozen. Mixing myself a tall, cool Boilermaker after what I’ve seen.

Thirteen things that crossed my mind this week.

You don't think Purdue is very good? That's because you probably don't know shit from shinola on the subject either.

The ESPN Weekend Preview – Week 13

The Weekend preview for ESPN has been posted. Got some good contributions from our man Walter Villa and also a write-up on LSU’s insanely-hot bat-wielding Raph Rhymes from Geaux Tiger Nation.

The ESPN Power Rankings/Review, week 12

Oh, sorry this is a little late guys and dolls. But here’s the ESPN weekend recap and Rankings.

See you in a few days with more edibles and elixirs.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Washington Huskies.

Yes college baseball fans, the Washington Huskies may be off-the-radar, but they are definitely on-a-roll with Sunday’s 5-0 win at USC.

The Washington Huskies... laid back, relaxed as hell and as cool as the Pacific Northwest.

Living on the fringes of most at-large discussions are the Washington Huskies, who came into today’s third game at USC with a No. 42 RPI and a rather unsexy record of 25-18. In the Pac 12, they were right at the Mendoza Line of 10-10, tied with Oregon State for 6th in the conference.

That’s fringeland if I’ve ever seen it.

The Bruins Take Dos on Cinco De Mayo

Go ahead. Call this the best Saturday of the entire 2012 season. I won’t argue. I spent my Saturday at Jackie Robinson Stadium and had a bitchin’ time watching two very different teams from different regions of the country battle it out in a pair of well-played games.

White men CAN jump: The UCLA Bruins have a lot to celebrate on this Cinco de Mayo.

I Finally Make Amends

I’ve been a bad boy. Really bad.

It took me until May 4th of the 2012 season before I finally made my first appearance at the best place to watch a game in all of college baseball: Pepperdine’s Eddy D. Field Stadium.

Shame on me, huh?

Stitched-ball nirvana. Now THIS is where to watch a college baseball game.
