A very special group of young men for many reasons that are much bigger than baseball! Well done lads!

[Radford Baseball @RadfordBaseball]

THANK YOU, FANS!

From Friday nights under the lights to Sunday afternoons at the ballpark, thank you for your unwavering support all season long.

We couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for being part of our season. ⚾️❤️

Yep

Whatever. The last person with credibility on this issue is Nick Saban. Holy crap. This is the coach who built Bama into the unchallenged apex predator of the arms race he is now warning Congress about, who collected $11 million a year while Olympic sports got cut at Bama, who recruited every blue-chip prospect into a system that made the "spend to win" dynamic he now decries. Saban created the conditions for the race to the bottom and rode it to seven national championships, then retired the moment the players got a meaningful piece of the revenue. Now he is testifying before Congress as the moral authority on what went wrong. This clown is the arsonist trying to put out the fire.

No question. Saban believes he’s more credible than he actually is on this. Not to mention, he benefited from the “Alabama Mafia” buying his players when it was still “illegal”

[Brian Seigla @Seig5052]

@EdWilliams_SOS @RickWatson28 Heitner is inescapable biased but Nick Saban also sounds like a dinosaur here. There is a middle way that should have been settled way before we let the genie out of the bottle. NCAA being reactive instead of proactive led to all of this.

[Ed Williams @EdWilliams_SOS]

There is nothing this guy says that should be taken seriously. He directly benefits from the current wild wild west, uncapped world of player compensation.

Everyone has hidden motives, that need to be bright to light. What’s best for the longterm health of ALL college sports!

[Baseball’s Greatest Moments @BBGreatMoments]

During Jim Brown’s senior year at Manhasset high school, he averaged 14.9 yards per carry, 39.6 PPG in basketball and pitched 2 no hitters in baseball

[Rick Watson @RickWatson28]

Yep!

[Brad Powers @BradPowers7]

The real reason why the SEC is against expanding the playoffs to 24…

Their overlords (ESPN/Disney) can’t afford it. Most of the additional games would be aired on different networks.

[Blaze Binges @BlazeBinges]

An important message from the original He-Man show

[Rick Watson @RickWatson28]

Greatest show ever!

Tony Gwynn had more 4-hit games than he did 2-strikeout games.

[Rick Watson @RickWatson28]

@UCLABaseball Worst overall #1 seed in the history of sports. Poorly coached and just cruised due to an awful Big 10. The fact that the LA Regional averaged dead last in attendance says it all.

[John Podhoretz @jpodhoretz]

THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU met box office disaster this weekend, sinking 70%. Someone could write a great book on how STAR WARS, the most valuable IP the world has ever seen, came under DIsney's ownership and was basically destroyed in less than a decade. Almost as if on purpose.

[Rick Watson @RickWatson28]

@JimRussellSD Not really, the Padres are just a very old and very bad baseball team.

Still hits after all these years…

MAGNUM P.I. (1980)
Most fans have never heard the original theme song. This jazzy version was replaced halfway through Season 1 by the famous guitar-driven version that became one of TV's most memorable themes ever.
