College does its share for the pro teams. Bo Jackson, Gregg Olson and Frank Thomas come to mind.

Doesn't count, football doesn't have a farm system.
Gregg Olson
Fair enough.
and Frank Thomas come to mind.
Not for lack of trying:http://www.baseball-almanac.com/college ... yers.shtmlFrank Thomas: Early life and college

In the autumn of 1986, Thomas accepted a scholarship to play football at Auburn University....

but all in all, baseball supports what I have been saying about basketball and football. if you can play in the nfl or nba at 16, do it. There's plenty of time later, or along with sports, for education.
college sports should be for amateurs.

Re: College baseball
Fun times in T-town this past weekend.
Auburn had a couple of firsts.
First shutout of bammer since 1990
First sweep in Tuscaloosa since 1976
Friday night's 19 to 5 score was the largest margin of victory in the history of the series, which dates back to 1896
Until Saturday night's 20 to 5 win.
http://www.oanow.com/sports/college/aub ... 3bbce.html
Damn, I love amateur sports.
On edit
Bammer has scored 40 points in their last 9 games in Tuscaloosa
Auburn had scored 44 points in their last 3 games in Tuscaloosa
Stats can be fun

"The right-hander did something Friday only four pitchers in program history had ever done before. He struck out 15, tying a single-game Auburn record and setting a new personal mark by two.
Mize's gem, plus home runs from catcher Brett Wright and left fielder Conor Davis, lifted Auburn to a 4-1, series-opening victory over No. 17 Vanderbilt in front of a crowd of 3,599."

Re: College baseball
Not bad in the regionals
AU 13 Northeastern 4
AU 12 Army 1
AU 15 North Carolina State 7
Florida (I think) next in the Super Regionals.

Re: College baseball
Florida it is.
Looks like we have to play all three games in Gainesville.
We played them 3 times during the regular season (all three times in Gainesville) and only won one.

It looks like both our teams drew one of the easier Regionals. Rankings don't mean a lot before these playoffs, but maybe you get a better chance by playing an unranked team in the Supers. Good luck.
A big chunk of the top ten were eliminated. Too bad #1 Florida wasn't one, but encouraging that they needed the "if necessary" game last night.
And how about our pitcher being the #1 draft pick.

I kinda like Florida. Then, I like Duke along with the Huskies, both of which Auburn may see Championship Series. So, good luck to you or not, then probably bad luck.

Might be fun to watch if you don't mind watching the gators strike out 12 or 15 times (I have great faith - always)

Re: College baseball
I rarely think baseball is fun to watch on TV and my support for Florida is tepid. If Florida does win, I'll be immediately rooting for WA and/or Duke over it, assuming they advance. However, now that I know I might surf there now and then if I'm not doing something else. Thanks.billy.pilgrim wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 4:57 pmI imagine he will pitch the 1st game - Saturday noon eastern.

I watch very casually while doing something else - if I miss something, there's the replay.

Huskies are also down 0-1, play again this evening.
Duke's up 1-0 in the 5th inning of their first game.
