    Corey,

    I've never been to a game there.
    Do you know if the fans behave similar to their football counterparts?
    I suspect yes, and if so I won't be taking any roadies there...

    In my experiences with them in Hoover and there, they aren't as bad as the football fans. That being said, there's a whole lot of ground there in that gray area. They are loud, and they are still somewhat obnoxious but they are still pretty fair. I'd say they are a louder version of Yankee fans, honestly. They expect a lot, they know good baseball. They'll turn on the home team if they are putting a bad product on the field. I'd say you're a lot safer at the Box than you are Tiger Stadium. Still, you're going to a game at LSU so it's probably best if you didn't wear your Aggie gear ;)

    I'm gonna have a shirt made that says:
    "WE STILL WANT OUR MONEY!"

    Thx for the info.
    Kinda what I figured.
    Aggie baseball fans are about the same.
    The students are hilarious most of the time.
    They rib the visitors hard, but almost always in good fun.

    Gads, we ended up losing 13-3. I thought we were to be somewhat improved this year? Every team in the conference lost yesterday except Iowa.

    It was a good day for the Irish yesterday, besides beating you guys we also beat Fla Gulf Coast. Our program has been struggling since the coach who got us to the CWS left for LSU, this is the 3rd year for Aoki though and maybe he's got the team turned around. Of course it's a little early to say much other than we're 2-0. :)

    Irish win 2 from Tulane and have the final game today vs the Green Wave...so far a good start for the men from Notre Dame. I see that one of the teams we beat in Fla, Fla Gulf Coast, beat the Gators twice this weekend so they must be a pretty good team.

    Ohio Sate has improved to 4-2 after losing their first two games.

    Things are looking a bit brighter. :D

    Miami moves to 10-0 with tonight's 3-2 win over Florida in Gainesville...UF had won 11 straight games against Miami going into tonight, a very long winning streak in this long time series. Game 2 tomorrow ACC vs SEC....

    I'm starting to like not being ranked at the beginning of the season... :p

    :idea:
    Miami should be ranked every year. Like Cal State Fullerton, there's enough baseball talent within driving distance of the school to stock an entire program...

    Yeah both schools are surrounded by talent with a history of great players. If it wasn't for their recruited talent opting out for the Major league in large numbers every year who knows how good they would be.... Cal State Fullerton has kicked our butt many times and has a permanent parking spot in Omaha...

    ND beats Tennessee 3-2 in 12 innings to get to 7-1. ND has not opened a season with a better record through 8 games since 1960.

    Uh....AJ......Just a wild guess, but I'm thinking we might have been 8-0 in 1960 after 8 games. :roll:
