  1. RE: Pitcher quality in the Tennessee-Nebraska series

    From a softball perspective, sure, it might be a great series.  But the average viewer isn't going to know anything about the pitchers of these teams.  It's not like either of them have a Caitlin Clark-type hyped player. 

    For network, you'd need something to catch the casual viewer.  It's hard to grab viewers with a 7-seed vs unseeded matchup.  Every other matchup has conference vs conference rivalry interest or seeded vs seeded quality except for this one and Oregon-Liberty, and even Oregon-Liberty has the giant-killer Cinderella angle.  What's the angle for this game?  That the pitchers from these non-rival and non-top-ranked schools are so good that there might be almost no runs scored?  I don't see how that makes any casual channel flipper stop on this game.  And I could easily see that as a reason it got bumped to ESPN2.

  2. It took us all the way until our first year in the SEC to end with a better conference record (22-8) than any Texas A&M baseball team has since they joined the SEC a dozen years ago (best: 20-10 in 2016).
