On the road to College Station today. Traveling with Jeff Roberson, of The Ole Miss Spirit, and Kyle Alford, who represents himself and is holding down the backseat without complaint. At least to this point.

We just concluded a quick tour of the campus of the University formerly known as Northeast Louisiana, which I was pleased to lead.

We visited briefly with Eun Jung Lee, associate head coach for women's basketball. EJ could really hoop back in the day, a Kodak All-American. She probably hasn't lost a step.

Good to see the campus has kept pace with the modern amenities of this day and age. Lots of new construction from back in the student days.

Jeff was complimentary of the campus, and Kyle seemed genuinely interested.

Press conferences for the College Station Regional will be tomorrow morning. We'll have updates here.

The plan is to hit the Rangers game tonight and get into College Station tomorrow morning.

In the meantime, there was some not-so-good news for TCU, the Rebels' first-round opponent. The Horned Frogs will be without Jason Coats, one of their top offensive players. This not news to TCU folks, who I suspect thought they might be without Coats for the postseason. He injured a knee in the regular season finale on May 20. He was hopeful of a return, but the injury has been diagnosed as an ACL tear.

Mantachie, we did get the air fixed, thanks. Paid the Memorial Day rate, which was not fun, but was better than not having AC.

Texas A&M, Missouri just added to the SEC, with the Gators, Tide, LSU, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, arkansas , and Auburn, does small schools like Ole Miss and Vandy have the necessary assets and capability to compete with these big and powerful Schools on the athletic field? Ole Miss has had major problems within the last forty years in competing in the football program, now its baseball capability is faltering, their basket ball has no problem, as long as it only takes five player to make a team.

I will go one better than Turfguy, I do believe Ole Miss will win one game at College Station. Their pitching is weak and limited and may not be sound. I believe they finish the tournament in third place as their seed labelled them.

It has been over 1,000 days since the rebelbears have seen the Golden Egg. So maybe you guys should visit the Mstate website and look at the pictures to remember what it looks like. Be sure to download a photo, becuase you will not see it again anytime soon. Oh yeah, Old Meth will be 3 games and homeward bound, in baseball regional.
