With college baseball season fast approaching, there are rumors floating around that the Diamond Dawgs are going to be using Easton instead of Nike bats.  I'd like to hear the story behind how this came to be; I assume the pressure coming from outside the program after the CWS finals must have had something to do with it.

Thanks, Kyle, for running with this story and keeping it visible beyond a day or two after the CWS.  I'm sure it helped in some little way.
