Actually, D1 Baseball said 11:30, but it's on now. I guess they started 45 minutes or so after the TCU-Baylor resumed game.

ESPN finally getting its shit together- no more politics
I stopped watching ESPN years ago, save for live game broadcasts, and even then I often watch with no sound. Their talking head shows are just horrifically bad and annoying, regardless of what they're talking about.

It seems BU-OSU has been cancelled, so Tech wins the league with a win and Baylor wins the league if Tech loses. OSU can't do better than 3rd.

Considering that it took Jay 15 years to get over the hump at Villanova, Beard will have about 12 more years at Tech before he's "ripe".
