I expect this weekend to look more like we thought last weekend would.

Two easy wins with one that looks dicey till late, when we pull away.

A quick browse through their season thus far and their roster seems to indicate that they don't have a lot of quality pitchers. Their starters in particular, look pretty weak, and it appears that their staff is content to let them throw 1 to 3 innings. Maybe once through the lineup?

They appear to have a few quality BP arms, but when I say a few, I mean 2 to 4.
It appears that we should be able to put up some runs early fairly easily. A top half SEC squad should expect to sweep this bunch, but, hey, it's baseball.

Rematch of the 2001 Regional semifinal at Ohio State.

We had a come from behind win over the 4 seed Kent State, who had the saves leader in the country. We belted him and Enrico Jones hit a double to either tie or give us the win in the bottom of the 9th/10th.

Delaware upset Ohio State in the other game. Ohio State had saved their ace for us and it bit them. Kent State actually eliminated them in the 0-1 game We had a hard fought victory against Delaware to get to the final and ended up smoking Kent State in the final.

Outside the final, which was 14-4, every game played in that regional was a one run game. It was a great regional. Imagine driving back from Ohio trying to figure out who won the Fullerton regional. We knew that Texas Tech had forced a second game but did not know the result until stopping at an internet cafe in Nashville. 2001, man.

I remember that Kent State team. They had put up some big offensive numbers in the MAC as I recall.

I have a similar experience with that Regional. My family left for a trip to Disney World during either the Saturday or Sunday game. I remember listening to it until we lost radio signal about halfway through, and thinking well I hope we won, guess I’ll find out in a few days. There was not even much TV coverage at all of the Regionals back then, not even on like the Sportscenter ticker. I remember finding out that we advanced from the USA Today on about Tuesday or Wednesday afterward when they had a blurb on the Super Regional matchups, and I saw that we were playing Fullerton so I was like “ok I guess we won”.

College baseball got near zero coverage until the CWS in those days.

We got outside Nashville and stopped for gas. There was a little Cyber Cafe there and I paid like $10 for a drink and the ability to dial up and find out Fullerton won.

College baseball changed forever when the SECN and SECN+ came around and you could watch every single game as a complementary part of your cable package. And that didn’t go into effect until the 2015 baseball season. As recently as the early 2010’s it was still somewhat rare for college baseball to be on TV.

Delaware lost three to Elon in their first weekend, but they beat LaSalle in their mid-week. 1-3 record so far. I suspect that the Dogs will take the series, but I never say “sweep” til it happens.

Delaware has a cool mascot and logo. I love when a school takes on a "local" mascot. It was the name of Delaware's regiment in the Revolutionary War. And its a specific breed of chicken found in the Mid-Atlantic
