LSU will see Florida in the Men’s College World Series Finals, and this play is a huge reason why
It is so rare in sports that a game that receives so much hype going in actually lives up to expectations.
Thursday night’s decisive game between LSU and Wake Forest not only lived up to the hype, but it vastly exceeded expectations.
With a spot in the Finals against Florida on the line, both teams called on their aces. LSU sent Paul Skenes, a likely top-three pick in next month’s MLB draft, to the hill to face Wake Forest on four days’ rest.

Say what you will about former Kansas guard Gradey Dick, but there’s no questioning his honesty. Even on one of the biggest nights of his life, with NBA fans from all over watching, he couldn’t contain his excitement.

I’ve always admired NFL players who pass on the bait when asked about their “rating” or “legacy.” While the latter is at least a little dependent on their own overall actions, almost everything about how a player’s career is perceived is out of their control.

So it is with that trepidation in mind we present the second half of our most underrated players list.

Arizona football coach Jedd Fisch isn’t sweating conference realignment rumors.
The PAC-12’s inability to land a new media has become a major story in college sports, and there has been a lot of speculation the conference might not survive.
Specifically, it’s believed the Big 12 would love to poach Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah. The longer the PAC-12 goes without a media deal, the more likely it might be that teams jump ship.
