CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Coming off the program’s first appearance in the College World Series as well as an ACC Championship, the Virginia baseball team will face a challenging slate for the 2010 season, with 27 games against 2009 NCAA Tournament teams. The schedule for 2010 was announced today by Virginia head coach Brian O’Connor.
Eleven participants in the 2009 NCAA Tournament, including Super Regional qualifiers Clemson, East Carolina, Florida State and North Carolina, dot the Cavaliers’ 56-game regular-season schedule. Thirty-six games will be against teams that won at least 30 games in 2009.
The College Baseball Blog staff recently got together to start discussing the 2010 season. We have each put out our 2010 picks for the College World Series. The most popular selection is Texas showing up on all six ballots with LSU, Cal-State Fullerton, and Virginia showing up on five of them. There are seven different conferences represented and 17 different schools listed. You can check out each writer’s prediction below.
Kendall Rogers of Rivals continues his series of conference previews heading into fall ball today with the Big East Conference. He believes that the conference needs to take a massive step forward after the top three teams in St. John’s, Louisville, and Notre Dame in competing for a CWS title. Of course, the Big East has a major disadvantage as many of the schools in the conference have substandard facilities and poor weather which affects early season workouts.
The staff over at WholesaleKeychain.com sent us three 1 Gigabyte USB drives for use with the website. They were nice enough to engrave them with the name of the site. These drives have worked excellent as I have been able to transfer many files between all the computers I use during one day with ease. I would highly recommend checking out their site to see if you could use them for your company/personal needs.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Alabama baseball team will open fall practice on Monday afternoon at Sewell-Thomas Stadium where first-year head coach Mitch Gaspard will unveil his brand of baseball that will produce a team that competes and works hard each and every day.
“I think we’re really trying to get a team identity and what we want is a blue-collar, hard-nosed, down and dirt type team,” Gaspard said. “We want a team that is going to be dirty at the end of the day, and I think that starts Monday. When these guys finish practice, they should be sweaty, tired and full of dirt at the end of the day, and that’s going to be demanded of them from Monday through Nov. 11.”
