The first time ever the State of Alabama has hosted more than one NCAA Super Regional in the same season. All are separated by less than 125 miles.
The little baseball giant.

The guy squirting water into Zach Ertz’s mouth is Joe O’Pella. He’s an athletic trainer that’s been with the team for over 15 years at this point.
NFL teams don’t really have water boys, athletic trainers are usually the ones responsible for having water on the practice field and during games, but this post is absolutely hilarious.
A guy who rehabbed my ACL tear in my second year, has a masters degree from Pitt, and has years of experience keeping Eagles players healthy and on the field being called a “Waterboy” is crazy, and I’m already giving him shit for it, but good lord this post is so wildly misleading.
Either way, thought I’d clear the air, that the people with Water Bottles during games actually serve much bigger roles on NFL Teams.
ATs are a lot like barbers or bartenders.
We hear everything. Athletes unload their thoughts, frustrations, & struggles- they trust us.
Sometimes the most important thing we can do isn’t tape an ankle or rehab an injury.
It’s listen.
Because sometimes…we’re their lifeline.
Best statement today by Andy Carter with #COPA “Athletic Trainers are the only professional that gets to know people first before they are patients” 😍especially true as a SSAT #NATA2025@NATA_SSATC
I think this is a really important read from @waltvsports, so it is not behind the paywall. @MSMBaseball freshman Alex Van Pelt stunned friends, family and teammates by taking his own life this fall. His parents are determined to use his memory to fight the suicide epidemic. 👇
A fixture in the @TroyTrojansBSB rotation since 2021, @GainousGarrett looks primed for a big year as the Friday night ace.
The righty's fastball topped out at 95 mph this fall, and his slider has been a revelation, emerging as a wipeout pitch against righties and lefties.
One of college baseball's premier catchers, @brooksbryan17 busted out in a big way last spring, posting 18 homers, 85 RBIs and a .970 OPS.
The @TroyTrojansBSB junior's huge lefthanded power is game-changing, but he’s also a good blocker and receiver with plus arm strength.
