Super Regional Game 1 Thread

[BayouDawg]

He's barely pitched in a month and he's been a 1 or 2 batter guy.

Also James error didnt help matters. This team is just too mentally weak.

[Rex54]

100% on Mr. Muffit sitting on his tuffit in the dugout.

[msstate7]

If you go Johnson down 7-3, why not down 4-3? Lemonis blew this game and series

[Cooterpoot]

We don't do one damn thing good. This staff needs shaking up. Lemonis needs some damn fire too.

[R2Dawg]

Patrick did his job at one inning he should have come out after that. He puts too many right over the plate.

[No BS Dawg]

We over overmatched at the moment by a very good AND hot team. Anything less than our A+ game will not work.

[maroonmania]

This team never has the mental makeup to contend. Maybe next years team will have some gonads.
Macloud will probably shit his pants tomorrow and itll be over

I would love to make it to Omaha but there is a reason why we are 1-6 combined in our games against ARK, Vandy and Tenn. We just aren't measuring up well against the elites. Would love to go to Omaha but I don't see us doing much if we do.

[HoopsDawg]

Patrick should've never been given an extended outing. He hasn't had one all year. A super regional isn't the time to experiment with it

Fckn unbelievable. It's why I said bring in Stone Simmons before the inning started. Why Lemonis? I'm a message board nobody.

[maroonmania]

How did Rowdey not make second on that boot? Oh, he fell down.

[KOdawg1]

So about this Notre Dame defense...

[SailingDawg]

So...... what's on the grill? Time to fire it up.

The cooler is getting a workout.

Hot is dangerous when you?re pouring down the beers. Sweating it out then all of the sudden you got a big buzz going. Not that I?ve ever had that happen in that outfield.

[magrooder]

ND defense trying to let us back in the game, let's see if we can

[maroonmania]

Dang, I don't know how they have the fielding percentage they do?

[BayouDawg]

We over overmatched at the moment by a very good AND hot team. Anything less than our A+ game will not work.

And I can?t remember our last A+ game

[HoopsDawg]

Gotta get 2 runs this inning

[Lord McBuckethead]

This team never has the mental makeup to contend. Maybe next years team will have some gonads.
Macloud will probably shit his pants tomorrow and itll be over

You are wrong. Our guys have shown grit all season. They may be missing a dominate talent, but have fought everytime other than Hoover when they were behind. I bet they fight this entire game.

[magrooder]

What the hell is this coach from ND doing?? You don't change a pitcher out until he gives up a 3 run homer.

[BayouDawg]

ND is begging us to get back in the game

[Offshore Dawg]

the dawgs can only score runs every 3rd or 4th inning when the top 4 are batting, not much else scoring.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I wish we would have put Mule at 4th batter and Hancock at 7th.

[BayouDawg]

You are wrong. Our guys have shown grit all season. They may be missing a dominate talent, but have fought everytime other than Hoover when they were behind. I bet they fight this entire game.

I hope you are right.

It was 4th inning, someone was going to have to go who usually wouldnt. Blame Bednar and our fielding

[Lord McBuckethead]

Right hander coming in. I like it.

[bobtail bob]

We are not pulling back ahead while their bats are held silent. Furthermore our offense can’t keep with them on any day. It was easy to see how all this would end six weeks ago

[maroonmania]

Got an opportunity here to get back in this game.

[Lord McBuckethead]

[QUOTE=HoopsDawg;1334184]He's barely pitched in a month and he's been a 1 or 2 batter guy.[/

Bingo

[Lord McBuckethead]

Got to go double steal here.

[BayouDawg]

Good hit by James! Lets keep it going

[maroonmania]

Isn't Hancock due for a HR?

[magrooder]

ND DEFENSE, thank you

[KOdawg1]

Wow, these dudes suck, let's make em pay for it

[HoopsDawg]

Damn, ND sucks. No DP Logan.

[bobtail bob]

Balk

[Lord McBuckethead]

Need to send Hancock. No DB balls here.

[maroonmania]

Has ND gone to the Kam James school of fielding???

[maroonmania]

Gem of a play there.

[Rex54]

Can't fault Tanner there. Bad luck.

[HoopsDawg]

Damn, ND sucks. No DP Logan.

Automatic

[magrooder]

Then they turn two like all americans

[KOdawg1]

Ballgame.

https://media.giphy.com/media/TnlwFJF0vV00o/giphy.gif

[Lord McBuckethead]

Logan Tanner is a double play machine. We need to send every runner on first to second on the second pitch of every one of his at bats.

[BayouDawg]

Right back in it. I never doubted lol

[HoopsDawg]

If we keep ND at 7, we will win.

[maroonmania]

How many opposite field fly balls to the warning track has Dubrule had the last few games?

[msstate7]

If we keep ND at 7, we will win.

I agree, but that's gonna be tough

[msstate7]

How many opposite field fly balls to the warning track has Dubrule had the last few games?

He shouldn't be hitting flyballs

[KOdawg1]

How many opposite field fly balls to the warning track has Dubrule had the last few games?

He had several in the regional.

[HoopsDawg]

How many opposite field fly balls to the warning track has Dubrule had the last few games?

At least 3, maybe 4.

[bobtail bob]

Can we hold them to a scoreless inning?

[Lord McBuckethead]

So the difference in the game right now is the missed third strike call, the bunt where the batter stepped out of the box, and the fair ball called foul.

So the difference is the UMPS right now.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Can we hold them to a scoreless inning?
Yes. 17 these punching Judy mother 17ers

[HoopsDawg]

We need PJ to pitch the 6th and 7th.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Put this damn dude on, or just nibble at the plate.

[SailingDawg]

He shouldn't be hitting flyballs

Jay Powell said he needs to hit the weight room.

[MoreCowbell]

So the difference in the game right now is the missed third strike call, the bunt where the batter stepped out of the box, and the fair ball called foul.

So the difference is the UMPS right now.

We are very fortunate to only be down 1

[KOdawg1]

IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE

[maroonmania]

Jay Powell said he needs to hit the weight room.

A little late for that given he is a grad transfer playing the post-season of his SR year.

[Rex54]

If we tie it up here go Sims 7-9. He can come back Monday if needed.

[MoreCowbell]

There you go PJ

[Lord McBuckethead]

Take the lead here and don't look back. Make them regret their opportunities, not ours.

[BayouDawg]

Finally a 1 2 3 inning

[Lord McBuckethead]

We are very fortunate to only be down 1
Yeah, but that is 17n baseball. Lets get some runs and make them bitch about their missed opportunities for the rest of their lives.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Another 17n bullshit strike call against the Mule.

[maroonmania]

This ump is ridiculously inconsistent on what he calls on the corners.

[Rex54]

Never seen so many thrown bats

[Quaoarsking]

Is that the 3rd or 4th time a different player has lost his bat while swinging?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright, the Ump cam 17n sucks.

[KOdawg1]

Bunt forsythe here

[Lord McBuckethead]

Please tell Lane to not swing.

[maroonmania]

We should sac bunt with Forsythe. That would give Rowdey a chance to get Clark home.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Bunt forsythe here

Absolutely. Or tell him to NOT swing regardless of circumstances.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I would tell him to bunt on the 2nd pitch, and send our runner regardless.

[maroonmania]

Come on Lemonis!!!

[bobtail bob]

Automatic out back up

[maroonmania]

Crap, no bunting now.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright, I was kidding on the no swing thing. But shit.

[Lord McBuckethead]

1-2 pitch was a strike. Damn.

[maroonmania]

Forsythe could have already been punched out twice now.

[KOdawg1]

Best case scenario. Made him throw 6 pitches too.

[HoopsDawg]

Why no bunt

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good things happen when you put the ball in play.

[maroonmania]

Lemonis, you idiot! If Rowdey gets a hit that would have scored Clark I will be really pissed.

[maroonmania]

Why no bunt

Because Lemonis has fallen asleep apparently.

[KOdawg1]

LET'S GO

[magrooder]

BOOM!! Rowdey two run homer for the lead!

[Rex54]

**** yeah!!

[maroonmania]

ROWDEY!!

[Really Clark?]

Yes!! Rowdy!!!

[HoopsDawg]

Rowdey you beautiful bastard

[Rex54]

Sims! Sims! Sims!

[maroonmania]

Thank you Rowdey for eliminating Lemonis' brain fart.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We need to call a timeout or delay or something before TA bats. We need to keep this going.

[Bulldog1]

Bring Sims in!

[bobtail bob]

Rowdy is the anti Forsythe

[BayouDawg]

This team is showing some good mental toughness. Could you imagine someone trying to say they didnt have any? Couldnt be me

[bobtail bob]

Shut em down again boys.Make me eat crow

[maroonmania]

If we can get through this inning it is Sims time.

[BeardoMSU]

Lead off double......Christ.

[Rex54]

If we can get through this inning it is Sims time.

If anyone gets on base it's Sims time.

[smootness]

Sims. Now.

[maroonmania]

Dang, Cumbest played that way too relaxed and let the guy get a double. No way that should have been a double.

[Rex54]

Come on Lemonis!!!

[BayouDawg]

Come on presto

[Dawg2003]

Lemonis getting too greedy. Bring Sims in.

[BeardoMSU]

Sims isn't even warming up, lol.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright, keep the ball low. We need two easy grounder.

[Lord McBuckethead]

No need to throw this guy anything than that 12-6

[maroonmania]

This next dude is dangerous.

[Lord McBuckethead]

9 hole hitter, might as well intensively walk him.

[KOdawg1]

Babying Sims might cost us again.

[BulldogBear]

WT17 Lemonis?

[BeardoMSU]

WTF.

[maroonmania]

That was what I was afraid of. That dude is hot.

[Rex54]

**** you Lemonis

[BayouDawg]

Ive never seen a coach so reluctant to go to his best arm

[Lord McBuckethead]

Again, why the 17 did we pitch to that guy. Put him on first and take our chances with the guy we can actually get out. 17 me. Am I the only one actually watching.

[Activated Alpha]

Sigh now the top of their lineup is up. Why can we not have Sims pitching here?

[maroonmania]

Should have brought Sims in for him but Sims isn't even warming yet. Got to keep this thing tied.

[MoreCowbell]

I love Lemonis and dont bitch about him much but that was stupid. Sims needed to be in or put that guy on

[Bulldog1]

Bad management of Sims by Lemonis once again

[Rex54]

**** you Lemonis.

[bobtail bob]

Our coaching has been shit today

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright 0-0 bottom 7, let's 17n go.

[Rex54]

****. You. Lemonis.

[maroonmania]

Whew. Still pisses me off that we let that leadoff hitter get a double on a ball that only went halfway into the outfield.

[HoopsDawg]

Ive never seen a coach so reluctant to go to his best arm

Kopps would have closed this game out.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I accidentally put K James down for a double, in ink, so he better come through.

[Cooterpoot]

Today has been a shining example of how not to be a good pitching coach. Foxhall has struggled.
And Lemonis is still sitting on his bucket.

[Rex54]

Swing the damn bat Kam

[BeardoMSU]

My god this ump is trash.

[maroonmania]

Screw this ump! That was ball 4!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Got 17ed on the K.

[Cooterpoot]

Swing the damn bat Kam

It was two pitches the ump hasn't called all day.

[maroonmania]

Leadoff walk would have been HUGE.

[KOdawg1]

I mean this ump sucks, but why are our 3 and 4 hitters not swinging the bat?

[Cooterpoot]

Get your fat lazy ass of that bucket Lemonis!!! Jesus, you suck! Get your players backs!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Before Hancock was moved to cleanup, dude was looking to smoke the ball. And that was ball 4.

[maroonmania]

That strike call I can live with but the one to James was garbage.

[Irondawg]

I have no idea what's a strike at this point - the first pitch to Hancock was a clear strike and he doesn't call it but had just rung up James at a ball same height but 6 inches outside

[KOdawg1]

Well the good news is LoTan can't ground into a double play

[bobtail bob]

Lemonis needs to get his lard ass up and go fight for these boys

[Lord McBuckethead]

That strike call I can live with but the one to James was garbage.
Yep.

[LC Dawg]

Is Lemonis ****ing the plate ump's wife?

[Lord McBuckethead]

LoTan has had a shitty day.

[maroonmania]

Well, Logan just got his pitch and missed it.

[Maroonthirteen]

I have no idea what's a strike at this point - the first pitch to Hancock was a clear strike and he doesn't call it but had just rung up James at a ball same height but 6 inches outside

Yeah. You can have a big zone. Or small zone. Just be consistent. This ump is wildly inconsistent. He sucks.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Lemonis needs to get his lard ass up and go fight for these boys
Yep. I mean, wTF.

[smootness]

Unbelievably stupid and stubborn not to go to Sims there. The Fredi Gonzalez school of managing.

[BeardoMSU]

Thank you Logan!

[magrooder]

LoTAN with the homer for the lead!

[KOdawg1]

Well the good news is LoTan can't ground into a double play

HE CAN JUST HIT A TANK INSTEAD

[maroonmania]

LoTan!! Bring in Sims!

[Lord McBuckethead]

LoTan has had a shitty day.

Exactly what I needed.

[Really Clark?]

LoTan!! Yes baby!!!!

[Irondawg]

Atta boy LT!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Someone get that man his gear.

[maroonmania]

Dubrule is like an instant replay on his fly outs to LF.

[parabrave]

Time for Sims.

[Percho]

Dubrule is like an instant replay on his fly outs to LF.

Thing about it is he has hit 3 real well today just not well enough.

[Irondawg]

You can pretty plant the LF in a spot right at the warning track and Scotty is going to hit it right at them

[BeardoMSU]

Should've been at least a 2 run bomb, if not for the deep ****ing on behalf of the ump.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright, now we need to just get it done from here. Need two more runs too.

[maroonmania]

Thing about it is he has hit 3 real well today just not well enough.

Problem is he doesn't need to be hitting fly balls. Need ground balls or line drives from him. But yet its fly ball after fly ball.

[SailingDawg]

Radio just went to station ID and commercial in the middle of Sims first batter. WFCA. Jeez.

[Rex54]

Hatcher- MVP

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good move with Hatch too.

[parabrave]

Good time for commercials WFCA Just put Heidi on!

[SailingDawg]

Good time for commercials WFCA

I use an iPhone app and switched to 105.9 PIckens, MS immediately.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Please God.

[magrooder]

Sims said Kavwho?

[maroonmania]

3 more outs baby!

[Maroonthirteen]

Damn that was awesome. 3 more outs baby!!!

[bobtail bob]

I got the water boiling to put my crow in. Let’s finish them boys

[KOdawg1]

Let's chase this dude and get in their bullpen more. I want them to have the least amount of options as possible the next few days

[parabrave]

Would like at least one run

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good pitch hit.

[maroonmania]

I don't think I can take watching another game like this. The old ticker can't take it.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I want Clark to get ahold of one here.

[Irondawg]

Is it me or does their LF play exceptionally deep

[KOdawg1]

Bunt Forsythe.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Pop up, not good.

[Percho]

I don't

[maroonmania]

Bunt Forsythe.

Why will we not bunt him???

[Lord McBuckethead]

Bunt Forsythe.

Not so sure. We need Forsythe to grow a pair and 17ing be the man.

[Irondawg]

Both of Kellum's swings there looked awful

[maroonmania]

He can't even make contact.

[KOdawg1]

Works the same as a bunt

[maroonmania]

Is Forsythe just unable to bunt? An insurance run here would be huge. Well, he got to second anyway.

[Irondawg]

I'd have sent Skinner - nothing to lose

[SailingDawg]

Is Forsythe just unable to bunt? An insurance run here would be huge. Well, he got to second anyway.

He just did.

[parabrave]

Storms starting to pop up north of Columbus and westpoint drifting southerly,

[magrooder]

3 more outs

[Irondawg]

Do we put in a defensive replacement for Rowdey - don't want him to start cramping like he was that AB

[Bass Chaser]

Attendance 14,385

[SailingDawg]

14,385 announced. Largest in regional history.

rebbears have to start trucking them in tonight so they'll win the appearance game.

[maroonmania]

2 more!

[magrooder]

1 more

[maroonmania]

1 more baby!

[SailingDawg]

WOOOOTTT!!!

[parabrave]

dam good way not to fold early.

[magrooder]

Wow, awesome win!! Way to hang tough DAWGS!!

[Maroonthirteen]

Hail Dear Ole State.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Damn good game. 17 everyone that forgot this team 17n fights.

[Commercecomet24]

Y'all can say what you want this team has big balls!

HAILSTATE!

[magrooder]

Go get Rowdey two bags of fluids, stop that cramping up.

[Lord McBuckethead]

1 more baby!

6 more bud. 6 more.

[bobtail bob]

Dis this prick announcer just respond “I guess “ when Dave said what a fun day of baseball ?

[FISHDAWG]

That wore me out ... I feel like I gave birth... way to hang in there Dogs and thanks for a great game

[DownwardDawg]

Y'all can say what you want this team has big balls!

HAILSTATE!

I’m so proud of this team. And happy for them!!!

[maroonmania]

Great win! That is a heck of a team we are playing. We also survived a ridiculously bad home plate ump.

[maroonmania]

That is one of the best baseball games I have ever watched. Nip and tuck pretty much the whole way through.

[Cooterpoot]

Got win games like that! Logan Tanner, Sims. & give credit to Hatcher pulled us through. Rowdy and Tanner did what they do!
New ump tomorrow! Need a big game from Mac.

[Commercecomet24]

I hope y'all understand that this is why the sec tournament results to a team who has their postseason already wrapped up is absolutely meaningless.

[R2Dawg]

Hail State. What a game.

[BiscuitEater]

They are an excellent fielding team. Doubt we get much help on anything from their defense.

Duh!! The BEST fielding team in Div 1 baseball had 4 errors called ... should have been 6.

Sure helped the Bulldogs!

[Commercecomet24]

That is one of the best baseball games I have ever watched. Nip and tuck pretty much the whole way through.

Yeah that was a classic.

[DownwardDawg]

I did my superstitious part!!!! Stayed away and outside all day. Never saw a single pitch.
I guess I’ll work outside tomorrow evening. Maybe cook on the grill. I’ll be checking in here for updates. Y’all keep us superstitious folks updated!!!!

We at the filming of my son’s music video today. Landrums Homestead in Laurel. (Shameless plug)

[Dawg2003]

Well, I have to give it to them. Didn't quit when they could have rolled over.

[Offshore Dawg]

**** you Lemonis.

This has got to stop. There is a reason he is the head coach and YOU are shooting your mouth off on a computer.

[maroonmania]

I hope y'all understand that this is why the sec tournament results to a team who has their postseason already wrapped up is absolutely meaningless.

It would have only mattered had we lost our national seed over it but luckily we didn't. I just don't like giving a bunch a guys on a committee a reason to screw us over. Whole different series if this was being played in South Bend.

[Offshore Dawg]

Also that ump was very confusing and the most inconsistent strike zone I have watched this year. Tomorrows has to be better.

[DownwardDawg]

I hope y'all understand that this is why the sec tournament results to a team who has their postseason already wrapped up is absolutely meaningless.

100%. Completely meaningless tournament and I hardly pay attention to it.

[Dolphus Raymond]

Some of the strikes called had me scratching my head. Was his strike zone at least consistent? Did not watch the entire game.

[DownwardDawg]

This has got to stop. There is a reason he is the head coach and YOU are shooting your mouth off on a computer.

I agree. I know it was a gamble but I was hoping we could save Sims for the 8th and 9th also. He should be available for an inning or two tomorrow or Monday if needed now. Lemonis punked this board. Lol

[Turfdawg67]

I got the water boiling to put my crow in. Let?s finish them boys

Nice to play both sides of the fence. That's what most State fans do.

[Offshore Dawg]

I agree. I know it was a gamble but I was hoping we could save Sims for the 8th and 9th also. He should be available for an inning or two tomorrow or Monday if needed now. Lemonis punked this board. Lol

This is not the first time he has punked some of our posters.

[Commercecomet24]

It would have only mattered had we lost our national seed over it but luckily we didn't. I just don't like giving a bunch a guys on a committee a reason to screw us over. Whole different series if this was being played in South Bend.

I understand but with baseball it's totally different than the other sports. They put way more emphasis on regular season and very little on tournament results. Heck we wound up where we were projected before the tournament

[Commercecomet24]

Some of the strikes called had me scratching my head. Was his strike zone at least consistent? Did not watch the entire game.

No he absolutely sucked. When announcers say we've had much better strike zones and he's been all over the place you know it's bad

[maroonmania]

I didn't have a problem with not putting in Sims until the 8th. Its obvious to me that he starts becoming less effective after that. Plus we are likely going to need him again this weekend. What I can't understand is not sacrificing with Forsythe when you have the opportunity to at least get a productive out with him.

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

Lemonis is the best baseball coach we have ever had.

[BayouDawg]

That was an amazing game! Offense brought the lumber to overcome a bad day by a starter. Thats big because that is thought to be the Achilles heel of this team

[RocketDawg]

No he absolutely sucked. When announcers say we've had much better strike zones and he's been all over the place you know it's bad

Were the announcers actually at the game today? At times it didn't seem like they were.

[LC Dawg]

Great game. Hopefully MacLeod is strong tomorrow. I wonder if Lemonis would use Sims for an inning or two tomorrow to secure a trip to Omaha.

[SailingDawg]

No he absolutely sucked. When announcers say we've had much better strike zones and he's been all over the place you know it's bad

Jim Ellis and Jay Powell will tell you as well, just not directly.

[maroonmania]

I understand but with baseball it's totally different than the other sports. They put way more emphasis on regular season and very little on tournament results.

Yep, until they don't. Nothing is for sure with the NCAA seeding process.

[SailingDawg]

Now y'all get the Irish to the outfield and fill 'em up so they'll be too stuffed to play tomorrow.

[Commercecomet24]

I didn't have a problem with not putting in Sims until the 8th. Its obvious to me that he starts becoming less effective after that. Plus we are likely going to need him again this weekend. What I can't understand is not sacrificing with Forsythe when you have the opportunity to at least get a productive out with him.

Yeah we gotta start treating Forsyth like a mlb pitcher with a runner on and less than 2 outs. Bunt bunt bunt and I hate bunting but he ain't hitting nothing right now.

[Commercecomet24]

Yep, until they don't. Nothing is for sure with the NCAA seeding process.

Lol yeah the ncaa is sketchy for sure.

[Commercecomet24]

Were the announcers actually at the game today? At times it didn't seem like they were.

No they weren't there I think that's why they could view how bad the strike zone actually was.

[AlSwearengen]

I’ve watched a lot of baseball in my life and I’m pretty certain this ump was the worst that I’ve seen. I don’t remember having a high school ump that consistently bad.

I wonder if something got in his head and threw him into a tailspin b/c the ump that I was watching should not even be a juco ump.

[SailingDawg]

Umps were affected by the crowd and atmosphere as well.

[Cooterpoot]

The missed call on that pop up was the 2nd worst call I've ever seen.

[maroonmania]

Umps were affected by the crowd and atmosphere as well.

Certainly didn't seem to affect them in a positive way for us. :(

[Commercecomet24]

The missed call on that pop up was the 2nd worst call I've ever seen.

Yeah that one wasn't even close just plain bad missed call

[Liverpooldawg]

Were the announcers actually at the game today? At times it didn't seem like they were.

No.

[Liverpooldawg]

No they weren't there I think that's why they could view how bad the strike zone actually was.

The color guy made about as strong a statement about a bad ump as I have ever heard a TV guy make.

[BeardoMSU]

The color guy made about as strong a statement about a bad ump as I have ever heard a TV guy make.

Yep. Something like "I'm sure he's a good guy, but...", lol. Then followed it with "that's a hard job, though".

[R2Dawg]

That was an amazing game! Offense brought the lumber to overcome a bad day by a starter. Thats big because that is thought to be the Achilles heel of this team

This team has some power. One HR away from 5 guys having 10+ HR. that is salty. That power ain't counting Clark or Cumbest who both we know have power.

[Commercecomet24]

The color guy made about as strong a statement about a bad ump as I have ever heard a TV guy make.

Exactly. You hardly ever hear them call out an umpire especially college umps but they pretty well said he was terrible in a tactful way of course lol. KP said he was all over the place which was really being kind

[BeardoMSU]

The resiliency from our team today was insane. The kind of "never quit" that wins championships. Also, the Dude was absolutely nuts on TV. For ND to come in fielding as well as they have, and to E 4 times in one game, it doesn't take a scientist to figure out the important variable that factored in there. The crowd was a weapon today. Nuts.
