Water Water Every Where

Tropical Storm Andrea showed no mercy to college baseball fans waiting  for the chance to see two college  Super Regionals  played in the Triangle on Friday.  Carolina was the first to give up on the idea of playing Friday as their game with South Carolina  was moved to noon Saturday rather quickly Friday morning.  If weather permitting the battle of the Carolina's will be televised on ESPN.

As late as 4pm Friday State held out hope they just might be able to get their game in at 7pm Friday night with Rice but a 4pm gully washer ended  that hope  and that game has been reset to play Saturday at 4pm on ESPN2. We are down to the final sixteen in college baseball and I can tell you there is no weak sister in the bunch.  Both Rice and South Carolina have won at least one national championship in the last ten years.

Is there a better college for supporting their athletic teams than LSU?  One of the want too's of my life is to go to Baton Rouge and see a football game on a Saturday night. Last night LSU opened the Super Regional with 15,000 people Standing room only crowd to watch the Tiger beat Oklahoma.

It is amazing to me how unnoticed the San Antonia Spurs are.  I don't have the numbers but I doubt other than LA there is another team during the Tim Duncan era that has more wins than them.  They got a good start Thursday night trying to win their 5th title  with Tim Duncan in uniform.  The Spurs 92-88 win in Miami  puts them in a great position to win the NBA title.  The NBA has this funky schedule of two games in Miami, three in San Antone, and two back in Miami.

That shot that Tony Parker took with about five seconds to play only proves one thing.  If it takes eight replays to look at a close call and you still can't decide then you had better stick with the ref's call.  Finally one replay on super slo-mo showed that the ball had just left Parker's finger tips.  It was a killer shot giving the Spurs  a four point lead with five seconds left.  Honestly did any body give the Spurs a chance?
