Congrats to Belmont Abbey!

yup

wasnt trying to make anyone upset. i said belmont abbey was good nothing negative there. just not understanding how they should be going d-1 when they havent won their league or gone to a regional yet. i hope they win their league!!

yah mt. olive had the advantage of playing a ciaa school in the first round last year and saving their number 1 pitcher for round 2 of the regional. dont forget that.

what other baseball team in the country gets to hold back their number 1 for the second round in a regional tournament????

 

It was

a tongue in cheek comment. It was an attempt at some light humor. It was alluding to the fact they have had a great recruiting year.

 

Goshdarnit Coach!! I stay away for one afternoon and see what happens, you go crazy!! Maybe Coach F3 needs to have your meds adjusted...

 

Benefit of being the number 1 seed.

No. 8 ain't too shabby!!

Also, you should check out some of the DI programs. Some of those teams won less than 10 games all year.... Just because you play DI doesn't mean you play in a winning program. Just some food for thought.

Believe what you want to believe. Heck, it's Christmas! Maybe Santa will surprise my kids this year too.

 

Thanks

I like to see information like that. Thanks for taking the time to look it up. I watched the D-2 title game last year. I was very impressed with both teams.
