I still wish my senior year baseball team (‘03) had a chance to play you guys and Drew in the Macomb sectional. Haha Stronghurst squeaked by us.

Great blog from @kenpomeroy on how Western Illinois is playing against Houston Christian at Spoon River College, 45 minutes away from Macomb. Absurd situation

Huge loss for Miami.
Sources: Malachi Toney has a high ankle sprain and will have surgery, which will allow him to return for the College Football Playoff. The timeline for return from this injury is typcially at least four weeks.

As someone who grew up very poor with no access to a college fund, federal loans that became predatory in nature were the only option. What needs to change is the process in which these loans are handed out to 18 year old kids without full explanation.

Some families are so obsessed with the D1 label that they'd rather their kid major in bench management than graduate with a degree and four years of meaningful playing experience. Good morning.

Any parent or coach that does this belongs in jail.
It amazes me how many parents allow high school kids to drink alcohol in their homes. As a police officer, I responded to countless parties where parents would say, “It’s okay, we’re here watching them.” Since when does adult supervision make underage drinking acceptable?

Make a mistake? Have a “next pitch” mentality! The next pitch is all that matters. Keep your head in the game… odds are you will have a chance to help the team later. Maybe the very next pitch or towards the end of the game. You just never know when the next opportunity will show itself… Baseball rewards those who can stay locked in.

D3 doesn’t ban athletic scholarships by accident. It bans them on purpose. No scholarship = no pressure to treat sports like a job. Athletes stay students first. Why is that an issue? Result of their approach? Highest graduation rates in the NCAA, the most participants, and kids who actually play for the love of the game. Force scholarships and you kill the only division that still operates as the last form of amateurism in the country.
