? Miami will have its parade Monday, and city officials say fans will not be allowed to carry backpacks. An estimated 400,000 packed the route last season after the Heat won the 2012 title.
-- A key step to returning the Auburn baseball program to status as a perennial NCAA Tournament participant is increasing the Tigers' strength of schedule and the team's RPI potential in non-conference play.First-year head coach Sunny Golloway has already taken a few of those steps.Auburn baseball released its 2014 schedule Wednesday morning, a schedule that replaced early non-conference series against the likes of Brown and Eastern Illinois with two trips to tournaments to face teams like Connecticut, Ohio State and California, among others.For the first time since 1999,
she said., Auburn will open the season on the road at the Snowbird Classic in the Tampa Bay Rays' spring training facility at Port Charlotte, Fla. Feb. 14-16 against Ohio State, Connecticut and Indiana State."I think our pre-conference schedule is going to be a demanding one," Golloway said in a release. "We tweaked it a little so we could travel as a team (to open the season). I think it's always good to travel as a team, it gives a new team and a new coaching staff an opportunity to become a lot closer when you're on the road."California, an NCAA Tournament contender and a member of the powerhouse Pac-12, adds some spice to the Tiger Classic Feb. 21-23, along with NCAA Tournament participant East Tennessee State and Arkansas Pine-Bluff.Home series against Presbyterian and 2013 NCAA qualifier Mercer round out the pre-SEC schedule, along with the annual Capital City Classic showdown against Alabama."I think the pre-conference schedule allows us to teach, to make some mistakes, to learn from our mistakes and hopefully be able to find victory every day," Golloway said. "We also have to make sure our players understand that our pre-conference schedule is going to be very important at the end of the road regarding our RPI."From there, Auburn opens SEC play with a home series against Texas A M, but the Tigers face Alabama on the road and don't see Georgia at any point.2013 AUBURN BASEBALL SCHEDULEFeb. 14-16 -- Snowbird Classic, Port Charlotte, Fla.
