    Too expensive a sport for most kids to get into and then add the hassle of travel tarp competitions

    Somewhat related, I chuckled at the NCAA’s advertisement during the game last night pretty much begging people to become officials. I guess being able to influence the outcome of games you also bet on, with zero repercussions, doesn’t appeal to the younger generations.

    They sell tarps at Harbor Freight for cheap but you have to tape about 327 each together and pray the tape sticks. Probably could not be reused though. Sounds like our tarp crew could not pull this off. Drat, it was a good idea anyway.

    So are you implying that the whole tarp crew is hung over ?

    NCAA with perfect timing for the lightning show.

    Oops, I just recalculated. We will need 582 each tarps at 15’ x 15’ and 34,920 LF of extra sticky duct tape. I’m guessing the Gainesville Harbor Freight store will not have this quantity in stock. Bad idea….

    Could it be that Florida hasn't recruited tarpsters very well or is it a lack of tarpster development once they got to campus?

    If they would pay better I'd be glad to be the lead recruiter.

    I hear Hawaii has the best pool of future tarp talent. They know a thing or two about water management. As soon as the CWS is done I guess I'll be hitting the recruiting trail.

    I've been a season ticket holder for the Tarp Team since the 90s.
    They deserve our support!

    8:06 first pitch LSU

    if you predicted Wake beats gonna happen more than likely as Wake getting some real home cooking umpire wise. Bama just had one tossed and more may be coming. Bama coaches have every right to be upset.

    Our first pitch will be lucky to be 5 or 5:30.
