CAN"T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lucky gameday attire check:
2008 white nike coaches polo. Wore every game during last years CWS except for the final game.
I think AU and Bama will both survive their regionals with Bama beating Auburn at an Auburn hosted regional.
Miami-Dartmouth on ESPNU here.
It’s a massacre.

New Plan.
UCI can Bunt.
Auburn can bunt
LSU cannot bunt.
Let’s do what we do best-everything but bunting
In other words, SO THE HELL UP JIM.
Corazon y Alma
What Hawthorne missed
Is that, as we was going into his spiel, UCI had 2 outs – both from bunting. In other words, Alsup hadn’t gotten anybody out during the inning; they had gotten themselves out. If they hadn’t given away the outs we might be down 3 instead of 1 right now
