NCAA baseball season opener.....are you ready for some baseball??


The new stadium was the best I have seen and that would include a few pro stadiums, the new scoreboard was prefect for watching replays. The tour included seeing the trophy room and awards for former players. A new rehab and laundry rooms were they can clean everyone uniforms within two hours for both teams. The locker room itself was interesting as they do not allow the players to play cards, video games and other things that might get them ticked off before a game. Each player, of course, has his own locker, but the locker that Sanders used while here is more a shire then anything......a reminder of the past glory. It all ends in Omaha with the NCAA World Series and I thought that was interesting how they tied them together

The fans were just great and glad to see visitors, even if we were the other side....hehe. The press box is all high tech and even the two dug out suites were great to watch the game from just behind the ump. Tennessee lost this game and the next one also but as the coach said....this isn't a sprint, it's a marathon

Once the game was over the ground crew started working on the batters box, replacing the clay with new clay and beating it down with a stomper. By 7pm we were back on the jet and off to Gainesville.....and those darn GATORS~!!!!!!!
