Now ya tell me. I've spent some quality time in Champaign this year. I would love to take in a game with the venerable Mr Reason.

Nice win today over the BPricks. Kids got to go on the field and tour the dugout.

Let me know next time you will be in town. If my schedule allows, I'd be honored to watch a game with my guy Keyser, pings notwithstanding.

I question the fact that Benintendi is not on there, he is having a incredible season.

You're right. Doesn't he lead the country in home runs? He also plays a good centerfield.

He's tearing it up. Gotta find a way to get him in that outfield especially since Happ is a second baseman. I didn't know Benintendi is a draft eligible sophomore. Enjoy him while you can, Hawger.

How is he a draft eligible sophmore, he didn't redshirt?

He must be old for his class. The rule is if you turn 21 within 45 days of the draft. He turns 21 on July 6.

Must be something in the water in Iowa City. They can't win a NC game but in Big Ten play they are definitely playing some tough ball.

He's swinging the hell out of it. It will be interesting to see where he goes in the draft. With this show of power and his ability to stay in CF he has to be moving up a lot of boards.

He's so freakin nasty. There's some serious heat at this game. I guess Ben Cherington is sitting behind home plate. Fullmer could pitch out of a major league pen this year.

Little Ro took Brandon Murray yard. I saw Murray last year. He's pretty good. He should be in the weekend rotation for the Cocks next year.

No doubt, just like Finnegan.

Keyser, the Hogs had a unbelievable comeback to win Game 2 and killed in a 7 inning Game 3. Very nice series win for them.

Did they come back and win that game Saturday night? I was watching but I turned it off after Texas A&M hit a grand slam.

They gunned it Saturday night in the Top of the 7th and came back and finished yesterday, and yes they came back and beat them.

Also, Vanderbilt all of the sudden can't win unless Carson Fulmer is starting.

Corbin messes with the lineup too much. It's a nice "problem" to have a team loaded with talent but he has to figure out a set lineup and stick with it.

#1 LSU vs #2 Texas A&M on ESPN2 tonight at 6:30pm. Georgia vs Auburn is on SECN at 6:00pm. This is a stinker unless Auburn RHP Keegan Thompson is pitching. He'll be a first rounder next year as long as Sunny Galloway doesn't ride him all the way to Dr Andrews waiting room.

Arkansas' offense went to sleep yesterday, but they have been playing really good.

They have been playing good and they have a very favorable schedule with matchups against Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia.

Your Panthers should have swept a DH yesterday. They gave the 2nd game away in bottom of the 8th when the 1st baseman dropped a throw that allowed the tying run to score. They went on to lose in extras.

I know, I am good friends with one of their assistants and he was sick last night.

Iowa is winning with pitching and defense. Their offense is not very good. You can't win every one run game. This week is a big test with 3 games against Michigan.
