Last night the SEC won another College World Series as Vanderbiilt topped Virginia 3-2 in, really, what was one helluva finale. The game winner for Vanderbilt came on a home run by John Norwood in the eighth inning, made more iconic by there being so few home runs during the entire CWS and that it was Vandy's first home run in over a month.
And today the USA takes on Germany to see if they can advance to the knock-out stage.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The last week of the O'Bannon v. NCAA trial began with a debate over math: Do Division I colleges make or lose money on sports?
