I think we had Campbell in our Regional in ‘21 and they gave us hell. This has been a pro-Camel account ever since

Also more cool stuff from our midweek games

We lived very near Campbell’s campus for a couple years when I was a kid, and I totally forgot about the Camels until they got good at baseball.

I did quiz bowl and a couple chess tourneys on their campus in like 6th grade (nerd).

Tony Vitello is doing a self-imposed suspension for the series with Dayton this weekend over the Maui Ahuna stuff.

From what I’ve read there was some tampering done with his recruitment and this is the punishment from that. It’s expected that Maui will be able to play soon as a result.

I have really mixed feelings about all this. The main, non-mixed one though is I don’t think the athlete should be punished. He shouldn’t have had to sit out at all.

As a coach, if you somehow get caught doing it, it should be more than a token “I won’t coach for these meaningless games, we good?” Situation. Should at least have to be a conference series. I know this goes on everywhere but like one person a year gets caught, if you are the unlucky one I think it being games that are meaningless is silly.

On the other hand, screw the NCAA, free Tony V

Saw some rumors on Twitter that it was Corbin at Vandy who snitched on Tennessee which :lol: if so

Yeah agreed, I had to kind of laugh when I saw he was doing it for Dayton. It also sucks they Maui is getting punished at all, it’s not his fault.

If that’s true about Corbin that’s a pretty ballsy move. Though how would he even know what happened?

He played sparingly last year and hit a ball into space against Mizzou. Easy, smooth left side power.

I knew he had Tommy John last year but forgot until he was on the mound last weekend.

He’s very very good.

NC State scored 7 in the 7th today to stay undefeated and dodge a midweek loss, beating Longwood 9-7. They’ve been solid so far but against a very weak schedule that will not do them too many favors later on. Reserving judgment till a few weekends into conference series.

That's terrible. At least this one was due to weather. In softball the Texas Kentucky game had a designated finish time for some reason. Kentucky got ahead so the Texas Coach did everything in his power to delay the game. The game was called with a 4-4 tie. These rules suck and I'm sure we can find a way to make it better.

Kayak is true
Tech and A&M played a 16 inning 5+ hour marathon last night which A&M eventually won 4-2.

Had a few questionable decisions by Tadlock during the late innings of the game: Was 2-1 Tech in the 9th with 1 on and 2 outs. Tech's freshman closer walked 3 in a row and 4 total to tie the game. Dunno why you don't bring in someone else after the 1st two walks.

Tech loaded the bases in the 9th themselves, but weren't able to get their guys home. Wasted an out on a fly bunt with players on 1st and 2nd. The A&M pitcher had walked those two guys on base in 9 total pitches. Instead, chased a pitch high and outside and wound up popping the bunt up foul where the 3rd baseman could make a fantastic play. Walked another on base, but ultimately got two out.

Tech had a few more innings with chances, but were never able to get any hits with RISP.

It looks like the game ended with one of the Aggies few hits being then advanced on a wild pitch and then successive errors by Tech's freshman shortstop.

Would have loved the win, but I'm not mad at the loss. A game that deep into extras this early in the season is a wash anyway. Saw a lot of balls hit into the Minute Maid coffin corner (mid-left) which would be HR's in any college park (aside from Omaha), so I'm not worried overmuch about the iffy offense. Tech's got a young team, so weekends like this are good for learning and focus.

Entering conference play there are three unbeaten schools still: Alabama, Virginia, and NC State. Setting the Tide aside, we’ll learn a lot about UVA and State from weekend series against UNC and Miami, respectively. Through nonconference, at least, the ACC looks as stacked as it’s ever been; only Clemson has really struggled so far.

Going to be a long season in Tiger Town I'm afraid. Pitching just isn't there this year. Opponents are sitting dead red and no one on the staff has demonstrated getting off speed over for strikes enough to change that. Not sure that's correctable in season.
