Me too. I can't believe Bean is playing against the team he started the season with

#8 batter 3 run homer for WV; #9 batter HR. WV looking good. Lots of fans at the game.

Good grief: WVa plays today at 11; WV may be in the World Series before KU plays its first game.

I assume Oklahoma fans will be good sports this weekend. I've been to football games in Norman and I was impressed with the OU fans. No hatred or catcalling like KSt and Mizzou. I think its always tough to sit close to opposing fans which happens at Hoglund.

OK OU won. So KU gets a Super Regional?

W Virg sure has a nice stadium. It looks like a minor league field and stadium. And it sure looks like dirt on the mound and base paths.

Wow, a 3 run bomb.

I didn't realize the entire field, including the pitching mound and batters box is synthetic. Batters no longer get to rub out the lines for the batters box and pitchers don't get to rub dirt on whatever. I wonder how the lack of dirt affects runners sliding? Fans no longer get to eat a little dust on windy days.

Thanks again to the Fort Smith Southwest Times Record for keeping me updated on the NCAA Regional in Lawrence. The Ark v. Northwestern game is noon today and can been seen on ESPNU, ESPN+ and Fubu, free trial. I assume team offense will increase since teams will reach deep into the bullpen for pitchers. I sure wish I lived closer to Lawrence to enjoy an afternoon and evening of Jayhawk baseball.

ESPN has KU playing at 5pm Sunday. So, Ark must play Northeastern earlier today and the winner plays two games today? Yesterday's game was great fun, but baseball is stil too slow for me to watch every second of the game.

Yeah Jayhawks

ESPN has Ark favored -166. So I guess Ark will beat KU by 166 runs, right?

@crimsonblu22 Thanks for the update. I'm stuck with what the ESPN+ announcers tell me.

Crafty Arkansas held back its best pitcher, Hunter Dietz to start against KU, according to the Fort Smith Southwest Times Record. (Does anyone still read newspapers?) Let's hope the Jayhawk bats are hot today.

I thought it was great to see Bill Self in the stands. Hey, Lance where were you? I loved seeing all the young children in the stands. Baseball was the only sport kids played when I grew up. Baseball and kickball.

Great start through 3 innings

I really like that KU has kept the baseball diamond on campus. Of course it's been upgraded since I passed by it on my way to classes in 1978; then it was just the diamond and bleachers with about 6 rows of seating. Even though I read the UDK daily, I was surprised by the occasional afternoon game when I was walking by after classes. I wonder if any homerun bombs have hit McCarthy?

Hopefully, our champions have a surprise for the #9 WV hacks this evening at 6:30 on ESPN2. I don't know what the -166 means, but WV is favored.

I saw an article pointing out Darryn's low 2.2 assists per game as a big negative for NBA purposes. But, we know that's not all on him because all the KU players just stood around when DP had the ball and I don't think I saw any type of offensive sets run while DP had the ball.

Bean's season with Louisville has been disappointing, but Mason Fairchild is doing great with DC Defenders. He's a huge part of the DC offense.
