First downs and second guesses:Greg Sharpe is a tough act to follow. Can Kyle Crooks do it? The new voice of Nebraska football has a lot going for him. It certainly appears that Crooks knows broadcasting. He spent the last eight years as Broadcast Coordinator and play-by-play broadcaster at the University of Florida. He’s done football, basketball, baseball, softball and soccer. He has also broadcast small college sports and Double-A baseball.

That's what I call a great College World Series. I say that not because of the champion or the result (Kudos to LSU!). For me, the verdict on a series is always whether it left us moments and people that we will put up on our shelves like keepsakes forever. This 2025 CWS delivered over and over. It ended with another LSU celebration, with a collage of purple and gold on the field playing to the roars of all Tigers inside and outside Schwab Field. It’s a scene we know well.

When you’re hot, you’re hot. LSU coach Jay Johnson allowed his ace to finish off his masterpiece Saturday night. Kade Anderson threw 130 pitches to lead the Tigers to a win over Coastal Carolina in the opening game of the best-of-three final. Kade Anderson was scorching. The LSU ace was hotter than the river city heat and humidity (it's not a dry heat) and more relentless than the summer wind on a downtown College World Series night.

It’s hot as blazes out there, but we have ourselves a cool College World Series final. The matchup in which only one historic streak can survive is at stake for Coastal Carolina and LSU. For Coastal Carolina, being the winner of 26 consecutive games officially makes it the hottest team in CWS history. While LSU, is trying to extend the run of SEC national titles to six. Coastal Carolina vs. LSU. It’s a beautiful thing. It’s Old School vs. New School. The Chants vs. Mardi Gras Mike.
