Houston Mallette in attendance tonight. Love that dude.

Also, Vaughn is back in the dugout.

Papio is maybe the worst 3rd base coach I’ve ever seen in my life at this level. I don’t want him fired, but his ass doesn’t need to be anywhere near the 3 base box.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

OM up 3-2, B7…

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Bama takes the lead… 5-3, T8…

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Alabama wins it, 5-4!

Maybe the Imodium kicked in

Bama is 17-11. SECN hasn't updated their standings; SECsports.com hasn't either. I believe it's also ...

A&M 16-11
State 16-12
AU 16-12
UF 16-12

A win today (and I think it'll take an A&M win as well) locks up the double bye / top four seed for next week.

Finally updated!

That would be LSU vs UK goes through AU goes through UA. Texas in the semi's if chalk holds in that section of the bracket.

 

[UAgrad93]

Welp! We shit the bed tonight!!

OM dominated this one from the start..

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

UGA just beat auburn again, so at worst, UA now holds the tiebreaker over them in SEC play.
