This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It was an exciting weekend here in Lexington by statsdomer

UK advanced to their first Super Regional in program history (this was only the second time they have even hosted a Regional). Davidson and Sam Houston State are also making their first Super Regional appearances.

While UK has plenty of talent, they've been perennial underachievers in the SEC. They are the only conference member never to have made it to the College World Series.

Much of the credit should go to their first-year coach, Nick Mingione. He spent his prior seven years as an assistant at Mississippi State and stocked his staff with veteran assistant coaches. Louisville used a similar approach to build their program.

Yes, the spring weather is "better" in Louisville and Lexington compared to South Bend, but still much worse than in the locations of most of their conference counterparts. Perhaps whenever Notre Dame hires their next coach, they should consider an assistant from a tradition-rich baseball program.
