On Monday, The Sports Idol, Justin Myers, caught up with the University of Oregon’s Joe Giansante and talked College World Series and Oregon Baseball.
Here’s what they talked about.
- Giansante’s experience in Omaha at the College World Series
- The possibility of a Pac-10 baseball tournament
- Oregon starting the baseball season with Fresno State (currently playing Georgia in the Championship Series)
- Oregon’s interest in helping the NCAA form baseball policy, and make selections
- The importance of exposure in selecting the next Pac-10 commissioner
[Joe makes an important point here regarding the primary responsibility of the next Pac-10 commissioner: national exposure. And I'll take Joe's point a step further: the Pac-10 should name someone from the entertainment world to lead the conference into the future.]
- The lackluster Pac-10 broadcast partners
Joe, you’re the best when it comes to talking everything Oregon.
And that leads me to this…
In Justin’s conversation with Giansante, Joe mentions that the players are treated like “kings” in Omaha. Well, there are “No More Kings”. And they’ve written a little song called “Sweep the Leg” (featuring a recreation of the All-Valley Tournament). It’s a must-see YouTube video for all you “Karate Kid” fans out there.
Here you go.
