Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 4328571, member: 549"] I know, but it's definitely worth the read... [MEDIA=twitter]1534649566104014854[/MEDIA] -> ... It sure is for baseball here in this corner of the world. And yet the UConn Huskies endure and prevail, riding the rainbow to Logan Airport early Thursday morning for a flight to San Francisco and a date with Stanford in the Super Regionals Saturday night. It's all so hard. Yet Jim Penders, the affable, utterly unpretentious coach, keeps writing better narratives with a work ethic befitting Avis (he keeps trying harder) and a success rate like Old Man River (he just keeps rolling along.) Penders called the Huskies' trip back from an epic win at rowdy Maryland a "happy tired" the other night. UConn was back on its turfed lawn Wednesday for a workout before going west to what Penders called "hallowed ground," otherwise known as Stanford's revered Sunken Diamond. And yet lost in UConn's geographical inconveniences is the reality that the Huskies are becoming a player in college baseball. A legitimate player. They may dress in more layers and shiver considerably more in early season than the kids at six-time national champion LSU, but then UConn is still playing here in 2022 and LSU isn't. <- [/QUOTE]
