Burkie and Roons react to the opening weekend of the 2026 college baseball season. Their big takeaways include Southern Miss’ comeback series with UC Santa Barbara, Oklahoma’s strong showing at Globe Life, and the high-end feel of TCU vs. Arkansas, while noting Mississippi State and Florida looked unsettled early despite rebounding results. In a “low oxygen” check, they flag early struggles for Big 12 programs like Texas Tech, Arizona, and Oklahoma State, while highlighting TCU and West Virginia’s strong starts. “Hey now” moments include Jackson Nystrom’s return to start for San Francisco after a cancer diagnosis, huge crowds (including Arkansas–TCU over 20,000), La Salle’s reinstated program going 3–0, standout small-school performances, Michigan going 3–0 in Surprise, and Tyce Armstrong hitting three grand slams in one game.
