I know how kindly you all responded to the Softball schedule which is why I've decided to put up the College Baseball World Series announcing schedule as well. Unlike the Softball set of games ESPN has decided to throw a cavalcade of announcers at this College Championship and even add a theme song!
"The single This Town from popular band O.A.R.'s new album All Sides (released July 15) will be utilized throughout the coverage."Yes! Actually I'm not even going to make fun of that one because A) A ton of you College whippersnappers love the band and B) Anything other than 3 Doors Down on ESPN these days is fine by me. Here are your teams and while I was enjoying the recent absence of Mike "I Wonder What Britney's Doing" Patrick, I'm ready for him to come back and give us some more "Deep Thoughts". Add Erin Andrews, Sean McDonough, Karl Ravech, a wily Barry Larkin, and Robin Ventura....and we're looking at a fun week or so.
