Beesball Notes

Well, looks like USC beat Michigan in a rain delayed contest that gives them the right to play Georgia Tech for the championship. Tech would have to lose twice to lose the tourney. I think we are just about underway in the nightcap. So USC got about 50 minutes of rest and try for the double-header........ Here's a story about USC needing to forget their failing marks..........


More on Danny Hall. Remember, Texas A&M asked Georgia Tech for the right to speak to Danny Hall. Dave Braine said ok. Well the folks running the AD down at Arkansas have a different way to handle a situation like this - just say no.........

Bill Byrne, Texas A&M’s athletics director, has requested and received permission to talk to Tanner and Georgia Tech coach Danny Hall once their seasons end. Byrne also asked for permission to interview Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn, but that request was denied by Arkansas.


Look, on the surface it sounds great - just say no. But if there's one way to erode trust with your coaches, it's to deny them interviews with other schools. Braine is handling this one the right way - giving Hall the ok to talk, but making it clear he would fight to keep him.


Here's more on Blake Wood after his dominating performance yesterday.......... Meanwhile Micah Owings carried his team to victory on Saturday with a pair of long-distance HR's......
