The SEC is loaded, but the ACC has two really good teams in Louisville and Miami. Down year for the Irish, but it's great that by letting other ACC teams play us 5 times in football, we get to participate in all the other sports. To paraphrase George Orwell, all ACC teams are equal, but one is more equal then the rest. Great job Jack.

My two sons played in Omaha in back to back years. If you have never been to the CWS you should put a visit on your bucket list. Unlike football all the fans from the different schools embrace one another in one big party while treating one another to great food cooked from some incredibly creative tailgating rigs. And the drinks flow continuously! Everybody wears their colors and wishes opponents well. (Like on the Rivals message boards.....Bwahahahahahahahahahahah!)

I fulfilled one item on my bucket list by attending the Indianapolis 500. I still have the Kentucky Derby and an SEC Saturday prime time game to go. Most likely Tennessee. College World Series sounds great.

Yeah, it really is. I recall standing in line to get in (the old Rosenblatt Stadium) when a Texas fan came up to me and handed me a cold beer saying, "You look like you could use this." He was followed by a guy from LSU that handed me a small bowl of Cajun gumbo. It's really a great time mingling with people from all the different schools. Of course, in baseball any one of the 8 teams could win it all.
