April Thread
No foolin’…..told y’all not to sleep on those Anteaters!
D1 has Beavs #11 and ‘eaters #12, Perfect game Irvine #12 and Beavs #13, Baseball America flips that and ranks Beavs #12, ‘eaters #13, then says:
“Oregon State turned in a subpar showing in Week 7, going 2–2 and suffering a surprising series loss at Nebraska. The Huskers entered the week with a sub-.500 record and dropped six of their last 10 games, but still ran roughshod over a Beavers squad widely regarded as one of the nation’s best. Oregon State managed a mercy-rule win in Game 2 but was otherwise outscored 23–10 in the two losses. The Beavers, now 20–6 and down to No. 12 in the rankings, have a golden opportunity to regroup with No. 13 UC Irvine coming to town. The rare April matchup between two non-conference heavyweights is a key proving ground for both programs as they look to further establish momentum and national credibility.”
Hmmm, Beavs “widely regarded as one of the nation’s best” and Huskers “ran roughshod” over them. No mention of “that’s just baseball”.
Fail to look good vs Irvine and nike (now #15 in D1) and that “widely regarded” stuff may be impacted negatively. Ya think?
Kick it around, you scoundrels, there’s FB, Gymnastics, and even Tinkle to discuss as well.
GO BEAVS!
