Will be there. Driving from south Georgia.
Is it the Triple Crown? I may suprise my daughter and take her up to take in a few games.

DD's team (12U) will be there. They're all very excited.
No, DD is in a tournament called the Combat Classic with 19 other teams that we've never heard of. It will be fun to travel outside of our local area to play teams from Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and Texas. But I'm really hoping that they get to experience the college World Series as well. That's pretty much the Super Bowl of this sport and it will be a tremendous experience for the girls.

We'll be at the Triple Crown Tourney. Kids are missing the last day of school (seriously, why do they even have it) so we can get a jump start on everything. Arriving Thursday afternoon (7.5 hour drive - yuck). As a kid, I always wanted to go to Omaha for the Men's NCAA World Series. Never went. DD's are 9 and 7 and already making the trip. I'm jealous of my kids...BUT CRAZY EXCITED FOR THEM TOO. Anyone know how accessible players and ex-players are for autographs. We have a Black Helmet and a Silver Sharpie, and the girls want to fill it up!!!!

Triple Crown looks like a fun event and will probably have a lot of good teams. I have no idea how we ended up at the USSSA Combat Classic. DD's team hardly ever plays USSSA tournaments (mostly ASA and NAFA here). Great question about player accessibility. I was wondering the same thing myself.

Great teams huh? Sounds a little scary, cause we are not what you would call a "Great Team."
I'm not familiar with the Combat Classic, but it won't matter which tourney they are in - it will be fun. It's the experience of the WCWS. We're only about 3 hours away so it's an easy trip for us.
