This video, shot after the Vanderbilt-Florida game was suspended due to inclement weather last night, features the ground crew for the College World Series participating in an imaginary game of baseball on the tarp-covered field. Those crazy kooks.
Sure, it’s not as amusing as the antics of the Clemson and Davidson baseball squads from a couple of months ago, but hey, these guys were doing their damnedest to try and kill time in Omaha, Nebraska, of all places. Also, not one member of the grounds crew was eaten by the tarp, which is always nice.

Forget about the Radford and High Point baseball teams and their jousting antics, the Clemon and Davidson college baseball squads really know how to pass the time during a long, drawn out rain delay. Bowling, hunting expeditions where two guys crawl around while other players use gloves as makeshift antlers, Revolutionary soldiers war games (including a drummer), piggyback races, a little seven-on-seven sandlot football, curling with one player taking the place of the stone, pseudo tag team wrestling with players joining arms to make the squared circle, tennis with players as the net, dance offs, power squatting teammates, tanning beds…
Jesus. How long was that rain delay anyway? But I can say this with absolute certainty, this was a helluva lot more entertaining than watching them play baseball. Not their fault, but it’s the truth.

Jeez man, this guy mining for nose gold while in the background of an interview with LSU baseball skipper Paul Mainieri better be careful: when you are more than a knuckle deep, the risks of a bloody nose increases tenfold with every millimeter. I mean he was really going after it there. But at least he wiped it on the railing and not on some unsuspecting person in the dugout. That would have been quite the Booger Picking Faux Pas.

I hardly thinks this bit of information qualifies as a newsworthy story. So what if the guys on Temple’s baseball team are planning to get together for some UNO? And if they do plan to play UNO, are they planning on going with O.G. UNO or kick it up a notch with UNO Flash?
Further, why just limit themselves to UNO? Is Rack-O too complicated? Nope. I don’t get it.
(note: Sweet Fancy Moses is it a slow news day – at the very least, can somebody from the world of sports please do something that enables me to make a half-assed Seinfeld or Boz Scaggs reference? C’mon guys, do it for your Friendly Neighborhood Blogger-Man)

Apparently, at Jacksonville Beach, it is not safe to go in the water, nor is it a wise idea to read any articles about suspected shark attacks on college baseball players on News4Jax.com.
JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. — A local college pitcher whose job it is to pound the strike zone found himself in the strike zone Friday afternoon at Jacksonville Beach.
Yeesh. That’s some serious weaksauce right there.
