It's been a while, but it's easy to get lost and lose communication in the world of spring sports. Basketball's done, congratulations UNC and thank you Michigan State for skyrocketing me to 5th in my pool; I was the only person to have a Heels-Spartans NCG and it showed. I also had Marquette in the Final Four, though, so I did some gutter living through till the last round.
Baseball's really heating up now with MLB opening up last week and college ball getting into the meat of conference play. The Braves are sitting at 5-1 after sweeping the Nats, and by all accounts, should be 6-0. I didn't watch the blown 10 run lead in Philly (thank god). ATL's prepping for a home stand with Florida before hitting the road to Pitt, DC, and Cleveland. I haven't been to a game in several seasons, but would like to hit a few this summer. The rest of the LTDx crowd made it Friday night, though, and from the stories and pictures, they packed in a lot of beer and fun and beer before the rain sent everybody home. And beer. Good times.
The Diamond Dawgs used a sweep of the Kentucky Wildcats to recover from an unusually rough week. The dropped 2 in a series with a VERY talented LSU team and split a double header with Winthrop. They sit at 29-6, and a league leading 11-4 in the SEC. The coaches have even re-ranked UGA at #1, while other polls favor the 26-9 LSU Tigers or 23-5 Arizona State. Tuesday night the Dawgs play host to Georgia Tech before resting through the week in preparation for a weekend series with Arkansas. The Hawgs look good this season, compiling a 24-8 record and just dropping out of the top spot after a 1-2 series with Vandy. There's some serious baseball around here, geographically speaking. There are 5 SEC teams ranked in the top-25 and 5 more from around the south, including Tech and our SAT-challenged cousins in Statesboro. The rest of this season will be TOUGH.
Amongst the other pollen covered activities going on, Women's tennis won the SEC, men's tennis is poised to do the same and both programs ought to challenge for their respective NC's. Gymnastics Nationals are this week, men's golf finished 4th at the US College Championships, and, in the other dugout, the Lady Diamond Dawgs are 25-7 overall and just swept Ole Miss to move to 7-5 in the SEC. Cheers all around.
Spring is a great time to be a Bulldog.

Don't fret, loyal fans. I will be discussing G-day later this week. Long story short, it was a boring game for ESPN to televise nationally as the red out-dulled the black, 13-3. I was there in sun-baked person, along with the Moviegoer, JINX, and the rest of the LTDx gang, celebrating H.Weezy's last stand of bachelorhood.
