So I roll out of bed this morning, I’ve got my coffee, I’m reading reaction to last night’s U.S. soccer friendly (blecch) and Lakers-Suns game (substantially less blecch), and I remember to check on exactly when the Auburn baseball game starts, since I was away from the computer all day yesterday and didn’t recall the [...]
