Great tourney. Glad for Tim Corbin. What a job he's done. Thanks to Dog for all the time spent making this easier for all of us. Labor of love yes, but it's still labor. I appreciate it.

Dog is the MVP of the CWS. Thanks for all the threads. I would never have paid attention otherwise.
Tough stuff, but still amazing to see what O'Connor has done with the program. Crazy that a HR off Howard was the final blow.
I tweeted Rob Anderson (Creighton SID and CWS press guru) to see if this is the first time a CWS champ has been crowned on the same day of an MLB no-hitter. Haven't heard back yet.

Love Mendoza's face there. Love Vandy winning it all with a ton of Northeast kids. Corbin deserves it.
Texas Tech catcher Elliot Richoux died yesterday in a swimming accident at Lake Conroe, TX. He was just a couple of weeks from his 22nd birthday.
He wasn't part of this year's CWS team, but played for the Red Raiders last season after transferring from Howard College, a Texas JUCO, where he was a 2nd-team NJCAA All-American.

Just learned Elliot Richoux was a teammate at Howard College of Sox 37th-round pick Hector Lorenzana. More in the Draft Signings thread.
URI head coach Jim Foster will resign tomorrow to take a position as Boston College's top assistant under Mike Gambino. The hire is being roundly praised by media types on Twitter, and for good reason.
Foster just finished his 10th season at the helm, and despite scholarship limitations he's managed to put some damn competitive teams on the field. He replaces Scott Friedholm, who left BC to take the head coaching job at UNC-Asheville.

I've been tracking the off-season coaching carousel. Two Division I jobs remain vacant.

Monte Lee interviewed with Arizona State and as a result got a 7 year extension and annual raise from 100k to 190k from College of Charleston. It was reported that ASU never made an offer' but who knows what was happening behind the scenes. Lee deserves it and they're glad he's staying.
Legendary UMaine coach John Winkin has passed at age 94. What he was able to do with that program in one of the coldest areas of the country, competing toe-to-toe with national powers, is nothing short of amazing.
