This weekend was the SUNYAC tournament. The only time Cortland has lost it, as far as i know, was in 2004. Well, history did repeat itself this year with us not taking the title. We were the number one seed in the tournament because we were regular season champions. We faced Oneonta for the first game and they had their pitcher who is projected to be drafted in the top 5 rounds in this upcoming MLB draft pitch against us. Well he proved himself and lived up to the hype. He absolutely dominated the game. He was throwing his fastball at 92-94 mph for strikes with a absolutely devastating curveball. He held us to one run through nine innings with ten strikeouts. In two games, he has 24 strikeouts. Its frustrating because of that one loss the rest of the tournament we were in the losers bracket. We still had a shot at winning but the weather was not allowing it. The conditions brought in snow and was not allowing us to play. The rest of the games were called and the team that hadnt lost yet was Brockport. They hadnt receieved a loss because they did not have to face the overall #1 prospect in Division 3 baseball. All in all, it doesnt really matter because were still going to regionals with an at large bid and its going to be fun. Our energy is kicking in and we have alot of intensity built up because of how we were dealt with at the SUNYAC tournament. World Series, here we come!

Taking a week off from talking about C-State Baseball on this one. Two weeks ago my three boys and i purchased Drake concert tickets at Syracuse University for only $15. On Friday, as soon as practice was dismissed, we hit the road to Cuse. It was a struggle on who was going to drive because a nice little pregame session was in store for us. Unfortunately, i had to take the plunge and drive, believe me i caught up. But, i hadnt driven in so long so it felt mad wierd trying to drive this car on the highway and through Syracuse. W.E, point is, we got to Cuse and visited their friend from highschool's sorority. We went with all of them as soon as we got there and entered the concert. N.E.R.D opened up and we snuck down on the first level and were only 50 rows back from stage. Pharrel and N.E.R.D killed their performance and set the night up right. A little intermission went on and the fun began when Drake came out and ripped it up on stage. He sung all his nasty songs that are out right now and he performed the underground songs that only his big time fans know about. He was pullin people on stage and serenading women, which was pretty funny, i wish i could sing! After the concert we left and noticed a crowd around these real tall black dudes and realized they play for the school. I went up to their group and asked to take a picture with Johnny Flynn, Syracuses PG for two years. He was drafted 6th overall in the 2009 NBA Draft and plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves now. I dapped him and put my arm around him for the picture, and the friggen Black Berry died. I didnt hold him so i dapped him up again and let him go do his thing, which invovled being surrounded by groupies the whole night. Great Weekend.
