If we made it to a super I would chalk that up as a big fuck you to The Simulation.

That’s part of The Simulations plan…… making you think your starting win a couple against it then WHAM….. we lose Bolt to Texas A&M when Turd comes calling.

Bolt will never work for Alberts again.

Bolt and Turd not get along? Texas A&M actually does concern me some because he’s originally from college station i believe. I remember reading he grew up an A&M fan but they didn’t recruit him when he was playing, I think I read that a few years ago when we went down to play Arkansas and Van Horn.
Edit: I just looked it up, he’s actually from Conroe which on the map is just outside of Houston.

I’m kind of getting the sense that Alberts wasn’t as liked within that building as some thought he was.

Come to think of it, and hindsight is 20/20 but Cook has made some snarky indirect comments about Turd in pressers

Turd didn’t leave the place in shambles and he was good at his job. But I think we overvalue him here

Today should be good, but the weekend overall is meh

Looks like 40/50s in Evanston but there might be t-storms and rain on Saturday/Sunday

We probably don't need any more of our games to get cancelled

I've been curious about this listening in here and there. Do they ever just decide to do something like a double header today when they know there's a chance of games being cancelled over the weekend? I'm sure there's a reason, but it doesn't make sense to me if you can insure you get the games in.

I think they definitely will do doubleheaders if it makes sense given travel schedules etc.

Yes, they do this all the time but it takes both teams to agree to it. Sometimes the crappier team makes some lame excuse because they don't want another loss. See Charleston earlier this year.

Maybe that's the one I was listening to thinking "Uh, why aren't they doing a double header??". Thanks. Wasn't sure how that worked.

College baseball should be pushed back to start the first week of April.

That and it depends upon if the stadium has lights. I’m guessing they don’t have lights at NW since originally it was scheduled for a 3pm first pitch so a DH wouldn’t work today/tonight if that’s the case.

Quick google shows no stadium lights at northwestern. Stadium was even renovated 8 years ago and lights weren’t deemed necessary
