0-0 after one inning. I guessed correctly on the Gaucho starter, and man...he has nasty sideways action, and hasn't given up a run in over a dozen innings? Good test for our hitters. Meanwhile Oregon's Will Sanford gave up a walk and a plinked batter, but generated three fly balls.

This game is in sunny California, although it looks like it would have been fine today at PK Park. We owed them a series at their house when a prior one scheduled was terminated due to flooding on the eve of the series in the past. Santa Barbara....home of FishDuck.com writer Alex Heining, and one of my favorite '90s band, Toad-the-Wet-Sprocket. The pitcher for Santa Barbara Gauchos has not been announced, but I assume it will be Jackson Flora, who has an incredible ERA of 0.94 and will go up against Oregon's Will Sanford. (1.44 ERA) The other Gaucho starters also look really good in Nathan Aceves, (3.77) and Kellen Montgomery. (3.86) In terms of hitting--Oregon has the edge with more homers, and six starters hitting over .300 while Santa Barbara has four. Looks like another low-scoring scrappy game! Will Sanford

Yep, looks like it is.

Rushed and secretive coaching searches followed by the boss leaving…yikes.

Looks like a couple of teams are overpaying their QB. I'd rather pay what our player is worth, not their potential.

I hope this is a 'Tell' for tonight's basketball game. Yesterday, in the first round of the Men's Ice Hockey Tournament, Michigan State defeated UConn 2 to 1. I do expect more 'points' to be scored this evening. 😁

Beware of recency bias and hubris. Leave the It Just Means More stuff to the folks in Dixie. It's B1G coast-to-coast, and the conference has a huge number of living alumni, so the media deal is financially superior to the SEC's deal, barely, when it comes to the bottom line. The SEC's broadcast deal is confined to Disney, ABC, and ESPN, but SEC football games are broadcast at times that encourage fans coast-to-coast to tune in. More folks are watching SEC football games than Big Ten games. Last year, millions of football fans tuned in at noon Eastern and 9 AM Pacific to watch Texas play Ohio State. This year, the game will kick off at 3:30 PM, or more likely 7:30 PM Eastern. There will be millions more fans watching this season's game on ABC than watched last season's game on Fox. No one markets college football like the folks at ESPN. ESPN owns and puts on the college football postseason. ESPN is the reason a 3-loss Alabama team with one of the losses to a crummy FSU team and a bad loss to Georgia in the SEC champ game played in last season's Rose Bowl. The Big Ten is having a banner year in the Men's CBB tournament. The SEC has two teams still standing, and it would be an upset if Tennessee +4.5 defeats Iowa State, and/or Alabama +10.5 defeats Michigan. Last season, with Florida winning it all, the SEC was the best at Men's basketball. Big Ten tournament wins this season over Florida, Vanderbilt, and Texas could have gone the SEC's way. All of the B1G wins have been close-run things. The B1G leads the way in Men's and Women's ice hockey, but schools located in the South and Southwest lead the way in ranked baseball and softball teams. The Big Ten more than holds its own in Track & Field, but the SEC leads the way, or at least provides the top competition. Shame on you, Mr. Reigns, for not including Oregon among the top recruiting teams in the Big Ten. But when it comes to the bottom line, which matters more today than ever, Mr. Reigns nailed it. And come 2030, the B1G's lead in money will get B1Gger. 🤑

Great article. If this is finally the year for OBD, then The BIG would win for straight titles by for different teams. They would also have at least 5 out of the last 8 championship participants. An accomplishment only the SEC could claim just a few years ago.

Thank you, Charles and Bill. I had no idea the roster was available on the Forum. April Madness! Spring Game on April 25th. 😍
