Good contrast in styles from two teams our guys battled. Have to pull for CRB's bud and the Cougars, tho.

Diamond Vols got spanked yesterday. aTm is strong at the plate against RH hand pitching while being very mediocre against LH pitching. They are also lefty dominated with starting pitching. CTV needs to make adjustments accordingly if we meet them again in the SEC tourney or CWS. Yes - they could make the CWS by continuing their roll and pounding the ball with solid D and pitching.

I remember years ago we offered one of the sanders kids and I was so glad he never came here just because I never wanted to deal with his dad being around the program. And if I was a GM - I’d want no part of drafting shadur or whatever based solely on his obnoxious dad.

I haven't watched Shadur play much in games, only highlights. But I get the feeling he is going to be a big bust.

Individuals on X with stupid comment about Cooper Flagg. The kid had 27/7/4 last night night and because he missed the shot to take the lead then Flagg is a "choker" . Bunch of idiots, so if that's how it works every star of their team that misses a game winning shot is a "choker".

A poster over in BB forum stated This Florida team is best college team he/she has ever watched. I can think of 5 teams just in the 80's that would smoke this Florida team.

1981 North Carolina team with Jordan, Worthy and Perkins
1983 Houston Cougars team with Olajuwon, Drexler, Young and Anders
1984&85 Georgetown Hoyas with Ewing, Wingate, Williams and Jackson
1990 UNLV Running Rebels with Augmon, Larry Johnson and Greg Anthony.

This might be the deepest college team in a while though. They have so many guys who can come off the bench and have little or no drop off. I think starting 5 for lots of teams are better than Florida starting 5, but that depth they have...

April 6, 1862
Battle of Shiloh begins.

The battlefield is one of MY most sacred places to visit.

On April 6, 1862, about 44,700 Confederate troops under the command of Albert Sidney Johnston launched a surprise attack on Ulysses S. Grant’s Union troops camped at Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee. During twelve hours of fighting, Confederate forces concentrated sixty-two pieces of artillery in the “hornet’s nest,” which was the largest concentration to this date of artillery on the North American continent. General Johnston was fatally wounded, and General P. G. T. Beauregard replaced him as commander of the Confederate troops. Despite Grant’s attempts to make a strong defensive stand, the Confederates forced his troops to retreat to the Tennessee River. The first day of fighting ended at dark.

During the night, Union General Don Carlos Buell arrived from Nashville with 17,918 reinforcements. With fresh troops increasing his strength, Grant attacked the Confederates at dawn. Beauregard, unable to position his troops effectively, retreated to Corinth, Mississippi. Union casualties were 13,087 and Confederates 10,697.

Saw that last night. Has been expected for a few days. Great addition. But we'll need more. Several other players we were reported as interested in chose other programs for bigger checks. NIL is the new reality. There will be schools with bigger NIL budgets for BB than we have, and there will be players who chase the money. That's just reality, at least until we see something from the House settlement.

Agree with most of this. Does not mean we will be bad

Alex Ovechkin, wow.

895. They had a 30 minute presentation in the middle of the game lol.

If only he was an American. Feels weird seeing a Russian set the all time NHL goals record for the Washington Capitols.
