It's May 1st, and that means many of the NCAA baseball tournament selections are starting to come out.

As I said yesterday, if we win the UCLA series we can definitely think about being a National seed.
I've also been sick all day, working from home and trying to stay vertical with the help of vitamin C and DayQuil, so I haven't been able to write much. There will be a quick update here after 5pm when the NCAA women's tennis tournament field is announced. Purdue is an automatic bid to that, and the bracket can likely be found here.
