Do not make this political because it’s not.

This story is INSANE. I can’t remember this ever happening to an athlete heading to a game/match/golf round.

What if he misses his tee time?!

First pitch at 7:30 PM.

Let’s go!

Louisiana Tech & Liberty will square-off in a winner’s bracket game of the CUSA Tournament on Friday.

First pitch is set for 12:30 PM on ESPN+/SportsTalk 97.7 FM.

The Bulldogs defeated MTSU 8-2, and Liberty defeated Sam Houston State 9-3 in their first round games.

Luke Nichols will get the start for Tech, and Nick Moran will start for Liberty.

Moran allowed 5 runs in 4.1 innings of work against Tech last Friday. Walked 5, allowed 5 hits, and struck out 2.

Winner plays at 12:30 on Saturday. Loser plays at 7:30 on Friday night.

Let’s go!!

Louisiana Tech will square-off with Middle Tennessee in the first round of the CUSA Tournament on Wednesday.

First pitch is set for 4 PM on ESPN+/SportsTalk 97.7 FM.

Tech won 2 of 3 against MTSU at home in early April.

Reed Smith will get the start for Tech. I assume Patrick Johnson will be the start for the Blue Raiders.

The lefty Alderman started on Saturday against DBU, so I doubt they’d bring him back that quick.

Johnson allowed 4 R (3 ER) in 6.2 IP against Tech on April 7th. He struck out 7.

MTSU hits .283 as a team and have three guys with double-digit HRs. They’ve also stolen nearly 70 bases, so they’ll run some.

The Blue Raiders team ERA is north of 7 and opponents hit .330 against their pitching.

Former U of Florida football recruit Jaden Rashada has sued coach Billy Napier, a Florida booster and others, claiming they defrauded him out of millions of dollars by backing out of a promised $13.85 million NIL agreement after the quarterback turned down offers from other programs.
Rashada claims he signed his national letter of intent to Florida on Dec. 21, 2022, less than an hour after Napier promised the player's father a $1 million "partial payment" that day upon signing. Rashada never received the $1 million, and the boosters never fulfilled the deal.
Lawyers are loving them some NIL deals!!!!! lol

Say we win the CUSA baseball tourney and the right teams in other conferences win or lose, and we were to move into the top 16 in RPI, have we already put a bid for a regional or will we do so? Do we have the manpower to get this done if it were all to fall into place on the RPI? Ben, how does this work? Thanks.

Round-up + CUSA Tournament preview:

Got two in Section 6 row A for Wednesday PM. Woohoo!

Tech will announce its NIL Collective tomorrow night at the First Pitch Banquet, per sources.

Official announcement will come early next week.

Crittenden has been hired by Ryan Ivey into a position that is similar to the position Colton Primm held prior to his departure for Arkansas.

Primms official title was Senior Associate AD - Championship Resources.

I’m not sure what Crittenden’s exact title will be, but he’s been hired to replace Primm.
