How do I say this? I guess I'll just let the cat out of the bag. It is no secret that I am not the biggest college baseball fan out there. If forced with the choice, I'd quickly attend a college baseball game long before soccer, but behind hockey, women's volleyball or even lacrosse.
That said, awhile back, I was informed that my nephew and Godson was signing an LOI to play D-1 baseball. I was thrilled for him, but told him not to expect me at too many games. While I go to Des Moines for four Drake football games every fall where I have a nephew playing, and I will be going to Fargo over the next few years to watch another nephew play football, I told my nephew that just signed to play baseball that I will just have a hard time fitting in time for his college baseball games. In the course of my discussion, we agreed to a compromise that I could tough out two games a year.
Now the tricky part to discuss with Shocker fans. My nephew totally caught me off guard when he told me where he signed. The chucklehead signed with Creighton... It was not where I wouod have picked for him to go and it wasn't even one of the schools that he was initially interested in. It stunned me to say the least! Please don't hate MVJ for having a relative playing for Creighton!!! I promise not to become a Creighton hack, I don't even have it in my blood. Nor do I own enough khaki.
Once again, please do not hate me for the sin of my nephew! I simply felt that in the course of being honest and open with all of you, I should disclose this little piece of information. Please, please don't hate me!!! In reality, my nephew is a very nice kid and really doesn't fit the arrogant mold you would think of kids from Creighton. I would just prefer to keep the name of this kid separated from me, it wouldn't be fair to him to be associated with MVJ. He doesn't need or deserve it. But damn, now I have to go to two games a year...
For those Shocker fans that I have had the pleasure of exchanging PM's with and I believe I can trust to keep my nephew's identity confidential, feel free to PM me and I will give you his name, stats and recruiting details. Also, feel free to heckle him when he's in Wichita, I would.
