As I recall, the season now starts later so that those very teams could compete better. Guess that didn't work. Hook'em!!!
Further Boston College , Army, and St. Johns all represented the NE well in the regionals against us recently. Where does the Northeast hate come from? They are just starting to get serious about College Baseball again and that is good for the sport.
On more than one occasion, I remember seeing Billy Swift and the Maine Black Bears in Omaha in the '80's. They were usually two and bbq, but they were there.
That mind numbing game with Army makes alot of people want to forget eastern baseball. When we go independent in football, I want to rotate 2 for 1's home and home with the service acandamies. SRO on the Hudson Shore in October would be pretty cool.
