Beesball Notes

More on the Jacket #2 seeding........... Coach Hall says this team "has the right make-up". Of course, we've "been loaded" in the past only to end up disappointed. In the end, it always comes down to solid pitching and timely hitting. There's one thing that bugs me though. We've lost a handful of non-conference games we shouldn't have. For some reason we get up for ACC battles, but seem to falter against non-conference foes at times. Could this year be different?.......... More on the expectations of this Tech team........... Here's mention of Danny Hall getting his 700th victory this season - only the 40th coach in Div I history to do it........... Wonder of wonders, the ATL regional will be broadcast on ESPNU, which of course about 1% of the population actually gets. Just more ways ESPN tries to strong-arm cable networks to get their channels on the line-ups and charge outrageous fees to those same cable networks. So instead of watching Georgia Tech on ESPN, we'll probably be entertained with Poker, terrible "original" shows, endless talking heads (how may "talk" shows can exist?), or anything other than actual games. Amazing............. Jeff Kindel has blossomed in the Tech outfield, and here's a story about it......... Here's another look at the field of 64........ Here's an article on the Gamecocks, who are in the ATL regional......... Here's something on Michigan......... Here's one person's take on some of the craziness in the bracket.......
