Any other fans? Anyone? Anyone?

Yes, I know the aluminum bats go "ping", but if you live in a college town, there are few finer ways to spend a nice spring day than at the ballpark. And FSU will probably take the top spot this week. I know we'll flame out before we even get to the CWS, as we always do, but it'll be a fun road there.

Crazy enough, I love MLB and hate college baseball. I hate the NBA but love college basketball.

I'm a fran. Tech has a real nice stadium and is close to where I live. GSU (IIRC) may have a decent team this year too.

There is so much wisdom and experience in this quote it is amazing.

Wow, I guess a perfect record, including an absolute ass-hammering of Georgia this past weekend, isn't enough to improve our ranking.

Ga Tech always has a nice team it seems, good pitching. Didn't Nomar go there?

Yes.

What I love about college baseball is a team can be 9-4 yet ranked ahead of undefeated teams in the same conference. The rankings are such utter **** in baseball, more than in other sports.

I'm a fan. I don't follow it as closely as other sports, but it's always a good way to spend an afternoon.

It's hard to get excited about summer sports being snowed out in the upper half of the country.

You chose to live there. You're only hope is global warming. If I were you I'd be driving a hummer around.

Yeah, it was ugly. I don't get UGA baseball sometimes. It's like they're incapable of keeping up their intensity. They don't even play to their competition; they just take games, sometimes an entire series, off.

Haha. Burn.
