Somebody didn't get enough salt with their popcorn...

Both remaining "Last Four In" teams (Michigan and Florida State) won their Day 1 games. Off to a great start for those underdog teams.

First Day 1 win in the College World Series since 1999:

Here's the coaches salaries for the teams in the College World Series this year (just base salary, not including bonuses etc.): https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/1455405001 Vanderbilt’s Tim Corbin: $1,318,162 (pay for 2017 calendar year, according to school’s federal tax records) Arkansas’s Dave Van Horn: $1,100,000 (includes $175,000 paid to coach by Easton Sports) Louisville’s Dan McDonnell: $1,100,000 Auburn’s Butch Thompson: $1,000,000 Texas Tech’s Tim Tadlock: $1,000,000 Florida State’s Mike Martin: $700,000 Mississippi State’s Chris Lemonis: $600,000 Michigan’s Erik Bakich: $425,000

And now Texas Tech is the first one to hit a home run in this tournament. 4-2 Michigan, B3.

Michigan gets the first run of the 2019 College World Series.

I'm not sure right off, but I know a lot of A&M fans who would love to have both Childress and Bolt gone. And many of them have pointed to batting averages as a key reason for that.

It seems Vegas likes the Lakers next season:

With the announcement of the new coach, there will be plenty discussion around staffing, etc. so it's worth a new thread.

Here's a quick look at the 8 CWS teams this year: Arkansas: 46-18, 10th CWS, 0 titles Auburn: 38-26, 5th CWS, 0 titles Florida State: 41-21, 23rd CWS (3rd most), 0 titles Louisville: 48-16, 5th CWS, 0 titles Michigan: 46-20, 8th CWS, 2 titles Mississippi State: 51-13, 11th CWS, 0 titles Texas Tech: 44-28, 4th CWS, 0 titles Vanderbilt: 54-11, 4th CWS, 1 title

Mannnnnnnnn... Why is it that when I clicked on your link, it just took me to this?

Does Moos have a son in Texas he needs to go visit?

Aside from the 3 inning technical difficulties, this is really cool. I really hope this becomes an annual tradition. George Brett talking in the booth, CWS teams enjoy a night in the ballpark, fans and locals get a night of MLB, Matthew Boyd gets to pitch on this field as an Oregon State Beaver and now a Detroit Tiger. It just seems like a unique and fun event that could become something pretty special.

I guess I'll take one for the team. Let's all pool our money together, buy me a ticket and pay for my international phone and data plan and I'll film all the games for us. I hate it when I draw the short straw!

We haven't even had a preseason trip to Italy and we're talking about the bubble? We've got a clean sheet of players on the roster and I'm just hopeful we can see the group of guys get along and start the beginning of the Hoiberg era off on the right foot.

FOX tried implementing this in the late 90s, but the hockey fans didn't like it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FoxTrax

Will it be a barbecue or a tea party?

40+ years of coaching and it still means so much:
