While Virginia took a gut-wrenching opening loss to Florida on Friday, Wake Forest had the exact opposite result on Saturday. Down 2-1 in the 8th inning, their bat silenced most of the game against Stanford pitching, they come back against the Stanford Cardinals for their first CWS win since 1955. If the Deacs can beat …

While I still believe the Pac12 will hold together and get their media rights deal done, until it’s complete the Pac12’s future is in question. I think it is a near certainty the Big 12 picks up 2-4 Pac12 schools. The Big12 has made no secret of its desire to expand with the 4 corner …
