...thought he really gutted it out today,” Walsh said. “He was throwing strikes and challenging the hitters.”The freshman looked poised to go the distance entering the seventh, with Ford’s sixth-inning solo shot the only blemish on his line. But he quickly worked his way into trouble, walking Domenic DiRicco and allowing a single to Jimmy Heinz with no outs. Eadington then picked DiRicco off second base and got Brian Kaufman to pop up before giving way to Bruton. The Crimson gave Eadington some run support...

To their credit, the programs galvanize a school's sense of community and, in cases like Bryant's, often showcase coaches as exemplary teachers who burnish instead of blemish a school's academic aura. But that's precisely the sin of Alabama and other schools: by morphing the college coach from Knute Rockne into Jack Welch, they're once and for all admitting that when it comes to building their self-esteem as institutions of higher learning, football...
