Greetings from Hoover!

----------------- THE BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD
Hello, everybody, DC here talking to you from the wilds of Hoover, Ala., and the SEC baseball tournament. I'll be going off to watch USC practice in a few minutes but wanted to let you all know that myself, Scott Hood, Paul Collins and Roger Olivieri will be bringing you complete coverage of the tournament and lots of other things this week, as long as I keep those latter three reprobates out of the local Hooter's and their minds on their jobs.
Kind of breezy here, which I'm hoping stays that way, because I know how scalding hot it'll get here pretty soon. That's the kind of heat that makes spit sizzle on the sidewalk and I've got no desire to sit through four games of that (on just the first day).
If you haven't already seen it, the All-SEC team was announced today and several Gamecocks were on the list, although none on the first team. I'm also baffled how the league can award a co-freshman of the year to two players and one of them is not Jackie Bradley Jr. Preston Tucker had a great season and deserves the award, no question, but I'd put Bradley Jr. over any other person they could choose any day.
Anyway, stay tuned for some stories posted tonight and tomorrow, leading up to the game. Grab a nap when you get home from work tomorrow -- the scheduled start is 9:30 p.m., meaning the actual is probably around 10.
