College baseball ramps up again this weekend after an exhilarating start to the regional round, which saw the top two overall seeds, UCLA and Georgia Tech, both get knocked out.

We're now down to 16 teams in the Super Regionals.

West Virginia hosts Cal Poly.

Troy hosts Little Rock.

UNC will host Southern Cal.

Auburn is set to host Ole Miss.

Kansas hosts Oklahoma.

Alabama will host St.

John's.

Texas hosts Oregon.

And Georgia will host Mississippi State.

The winner of each best of three series will move to the College World Series in Omaha.

This doesn't have to be boring.

Hey, one thing the game needs is more people like you.

You.

You.

Certainly experience matters, so having been through it on both sides, wearing both uniforms at one point certainly matters, but the difference between broadcasting and playing is that after broadcasting a game, I put my head on my pillow and go to sleep.

After pitching in one of these games, I put my head on my pillow and I toss and turn all night long, depending on what the outcome was.

You can't prepare for the intensity of the postseason.

There's no way to prepare for how important every pitch is, the feeling in the crowd, on the bench, among your teammates.
