summer baseball

Things discussed:

• Baseball: this tournament is set up well for Michigan's three starting pitchers.
• Handicapping: this game is too random.
• Can Bakich keep this up? Craig says yea.
• Start a Northern League! Fisher used to be packed, but the season is over when the weather gets good.
• In the mid-'80s Michigan went on probation in baseball because some of the players were selling programs.
• HTTV: Craig talks a bit about 1893.
• NCAA's very soft hammer: Will Louisville get some?
• Brian's idea: Give the 13 highest APR teams extra scholarships.
• Skeptical they'll ever go after a major program.
• USC is in the kiddie end of the pool: The NCAA should be there for MSU stuff, UNC stuff, FSU, Baylor, etc.
• What do you want to hear from Schembechler Hall?

Kind of like Jack Blomgren's response to beating the #1 seed Bruins. Something like this:

And you can't have one without the other!
