EYE OF THE HURRICANE 🌀 🏴‍☠️ 

I mean if you can’t get excited about traveling to Omaha, Nebraska during mid-June and staying with a random stranger on the internet, then what can you get excited about! Make sure you are following all my content pages as I will be sharing all the latest and not-so-greatest information this weekend from Omaha at the College World Series. I’m sure I will assist Coastal Carolina at Rocco’s Jello Shot count, as well.

SIX MORE TEAMS PUNCH THEIR TICKET TO OMAHA ⚾️ 🏆️ 🏫 

Coastal Carolina qualified Saturday. Throughout Sunday, six more teams punched their tickets to Omaha, NE. Welcome:

BORDERS PROMOTED TO ASST COACH 🏀 🐅 

After 30 years and being Bruce Pearl’s longest tenured staff member, Chad Prewitt announced his retirement. Felt like an end of an era truly for some as most of the 2024-2025 also officially announced their farewells.

Thus, one man’s decision leaves an opening for another. Enter Ian Borders. Borders career path is such:

  • Director of Player & Recruiting, Auburn University (2023-2025)

  • Video Coordinator, Auburn University (2018-2023)

  • Video Coordinator, University of Little Rock (2016-2018)

  • Graduate Assistant Coach, Florida State University (2015-2017)

Every pick I send, every badge I drop, and every forecast I fire off is built to fuel the crew. If you’re enjoying the storm so far, forward this to a friend, share it on your socials, or hit reply and tell me what you’re riding with this weekend.
