Default other college baseball opportunities

we love college baseball, go to most of the OSU home games in the spring, and probably will still see about half of them when we're snowbirds soon. Have been to 2 or 3 gators' games (seems unlikely, but we've adopted U of F as our second team, as long as they're not playing The Buckeyes), but their stadium could really use a roof, or at least a canvas tarp over part of the stands. Sun can be brutal. U of F has a beautiful campus, check it out if you haven't yet, as well as Flagler College in St. Augustine and Rollins College in Winter Park, and Stetson in Deland.

Many of the eastern midwest and other east side of the country college baseball teams play in a lot of Florida area spring tournaments before their league games start. OSU is down somewhere south, mostly Florida, beginning late February for about 5 weekends and all of spring break. We can't wait to go. Any of you college baseball fans should check out your team's schedules. Lots of fun. It's also lots cheaper than spring training for the major league teams and you get to see more of the actual starting players.
