Man, it's a darned good thing you put "OT" in the subject, lest someone see
"college baseball" and think you'd invented a new type of specialized,
particularly well-educated (and/or drunken) marlin fly or something...

It's just good manners to put OT in the Subject: header of
off-topic posts so those who want to filter the Subject:
headers can do so.

....wouldn't be easier to just put "_ON_ TOPIC" in the subject line, and that
way, those that didn't want to see "OT" stuff could read all six posts a year...

And IAC, pretty much by convention, there really is no "on" or "off" topic on
ROFF...I mean, geezmarieonapony, didn't someone ask about tampons or the like
once...?

As for the David beats Goliath baseball game I am reminded
that the Illini beat college baseball leviathan LSU about
this time last year. Turns out it didn't mean a whole hell
of a lot. LSU had their usual excellent season and Illinois
had their usual mediocre "snow belt team" season. But for
nonce, congrats to Eastern Carolina.

Wow...they got beat by TWO smallish Carolina teams in one day...? Sounds more
like David beats a dead horse...

HTH,

not the same day... but WCU (8-1 record, 9000 students,
http://www.wcu.edu/10.asp ) is probably the class team at the
tournament, which is called the Keith LeClair Classic. It's an annual
event, in honor of an east carolina baseball coach who did a great job
in building the program, but died of Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS). Oddly
enough, he also coached at WCU...so the title game today is between the
two teams he last coached.

"western" virginia will try to deliver illinois to the glue factory in
the 10 am opener.

Aw, that's what happens when a bunch of Chardonnay-sipping Chicago types (IOW: a
pack of wussies) attempt to mess around with good ol' southern folk...

This doesn't look good for the Frightened Illini...
