BYU HIRED NEW COACH

Brigham Young University has hired a new coach in Joseph Smith, who hopes to leaf the team to a 2006 title. BYU has a two star program and is ranked 36th nationally. The college hopes Joesph Smith can get the team to Omaha. BYU has a C+ in Pitching, and A+ in batting, an A in fielding and a D in running. The season begins on 2/7 as the Cougars take on Cal State Fullerton.

I'm excited to see the BYU-Utah rivalry play out.

Based on my experience, I've found it far easier to bark (or even branch) teams to titles, but hey, more power to you!
