BB: USAC: USA South Athletic Conference

[narch]

the monarch roster is up...no real surprises, but there are a lot of young arms...they'll be needed to replace over 200 innings from last year - i've heard really good things about those young arms...they've got lots of talent, but do they have what it takes between the ears?

i suspect the monarchs will need to rely on a proven offense early and hope that the pitching can round into form

NCWC roster up.  Look for 3B Jr transfer Christian Boghossian to make lots of noise with the bat as a newcomer.  On the mound, NCWC's pitching is what is going to win games I believe with a solid 1-2-3 punch of A. Webb, M. Knowles and K. Wessell.  Bullpen also looks solid with Womble, Costa and Shearin.  Let the games begin...2 more weeks!

1 week from today I hope the weather next Sunday is as nice as today...but it probably will be 30 degrees with 30 mph wind gust in Rocky Mount

Looks like everyone opens up next weekend except SU, and CNU.  Get ready because here it comes.

Since it seems like at the beginning of the season we see alot of ODAC/USAS matchups.  Has anyone seen anything on the ODAC conference predictions?

Last year the USA South was rated the toughest conference in D3 Pre-season.  Has anyone seen that list come out this year?

Last Year, I thought the level of play was down overall.

Spent some time in some very boring meetings and starting playing with the numbers from last year. Started by wanted to see if there was one team that really like their home cooking and grew alittle. I have the numbers seperated and will present this summary of last year to start to get everyone interested in this year. I did not include Greensboro simply because I did not have the numbers at the time but I found them now so if wanted I can get those to. Enjoy and comments are welcome

Oh you have no idea! I have some very nice spreadsheets as I was wondering about the new bats but just keep going.

[rolln2]

Nice work on the numbers.  It really shows how nice it is to be at home.

[Wood]

Let the games begin!!!!!

[rolln2]

Looks like Chapman out of California is in good form early.  All-American pitcher w/ no hitter through five.  The bats also must work out west as they have two HR's in five innings.

Finally tomorrow we get to see some south region action as some USAS and ODAC teams get going.
