The College World Series finals begin tonight, pitting top-ranked LSU against a Texas team that made it to the finals thanks to some timely homeruns against Arizona State. For viewers' sake we hope the games will be a bit shorter than Texas 25-inning, 3-2 win over Boston College at the Austin Regional. Texas faces tough competition from an LSU team headed by coach Paul Mainieri. Mainieri and the Tigers will be cheered on by three generations of Mainieri men, including the patriarch Demie--a national champion junior college coach. "When I was coaching," Demie Mainieri told the New York Times, "I was also the athletic director, so nobody was going to fire me. We had expectations, but nothing like this. They get 10,000 people a game."

As an educator, umpire/official, ex college/professional athlete, and past coach I believe it is our top job to guarentee our athletes recognize it is education first and athletic success second.
