CBN is out also. It’s a joke though. Some very mediocre “P5” teams in top 25. Only UCONN and ECU in the top 40.

Went ahead and updated. Will be good for discussion later in the year.

What's up with Houston? Did they graduate a lot of guys?

Is this the year that the new UConn baseball stadium opens? Very impressive what they have been doing despite the facility disadvantage.

No. The new baseball/softball/soccer facilities won't be finished until this summer.

Coaches picked Houston above UCONN. Hmmm...

Also from Perfect Game, Bryant Packard ECU, and Mason Feole UCONN are First Team All-Americans.

Latest Information of UConn’s New Athletics District Stadiums, Set to Open in 2020

UConn AD, David Benedict says,

Quote:The new baseball stadium will have heated bases and dayglow orange balls for better visibility in snow. The first 500 season ticket holders will receive a pair of electric socks, a can of windshield deicer and a snow shovel to help get their cars out of the parking lot.

AD Dave knows what's up.

Husky Baseball has done more with less and the worst weather conditions of almost anyone in the country (I'll acknowledge the Shockers preemptively here concerning the weather).

Ready to see you guys in a new home.

Tulsa has dominated this conference in softball. Nothing will change this year.

I can not express my sadness at not having a baseball team in this monster of a conference. I expect that as Wichita and Tulane get back to form this conference will be incredible.

If I get you a pic of Butler, can you go into paint and doll him up a bit for me? I'm not that talented to do it. I'd really like to follow the BC1 collection and have a legit signature.

until college baseball gets rid of the aluminum bats, I can't take it seriously....
