Monte Lee has been at Clemson for 7 years. If you throw out the COVID 2020 year, that is still 6 years he’s never led Clemson to a super regional. What’s worse is Lee is not even getting Clemson to the NCAA Tournament anymore. In 2021 Clemson missed the NCAA tournament with a 25-27 record …

Until this gets fixed, we’re going to raise the flag every year on one of the ACC Network’s biggest missteps – how the ACC Baseball Tournament is televised. Last year we brought this up, and we’re going to do it again. If you want to watch the ACC Baseball Tournament Tuesday night. You can’t because …

As we move towards the end of the College Baseball, who is going to be a regional host? Let’s look at the contenders. RPIs are taken from https://www.warrennolan.com/baseball/2022/rpi-live #5 Virginia Tech 31-10 (14-8) The Hokies are in great shape. Anything above .500 the rest of the way and they will host. They probably get a …

Congratulations to the Atlanta Braves for winning the 2021 MLB World Series Championship! What if the College Football Playoff committee ran major league baseball? Here’s what would happen… As @CFBPlayoff released their MLB Power rankings today the Braves were actually ranked 8th.

He is, releasing his latest Public Broadcast System documentary in four two-hour parts, Sunday at 8 p.m. ET through Wednesday. Appropriately, it’s simply titled, “Muhammad Ali.” We’ve already read multiple thick biographies, watched previous documentaries and movies on the big …

Yikes – college baseball fans have spoken. An farce of a CWS Championship has resulted in fans tuning out. Just as a comparison, GM1 of this @NCAACWS had 385K viewers.
