Thrilled to have welcomed Savannah Lindy Smith to the world on Monday afternoon. After her older sister was stillborn last spring, Savannah is truly an answered prayer for our family. Incredibly blessed. 7 lb. and 2 oz., 19 inches, and will run the 40 at her pro day.

Tennessee could do wonders for the interest in the college baseball postseason. Not because of how good they are (30-1/11-0 is ridiculous), but because of how cocky they are. Nobody is going to be neutral on the Vols. Miami football, UNLV basketball level.

I think Kirk Herbstreit is just very frustrated because he can't use any tangible measurements to defend his take. Every point is either theoretical (who would Michigan want to play?), historical (29-game winning streak!), or subjective (they're just better!). So he just yells.
