Since we made it, will you pull for all upsets today?
Certainly. Although our side of the bracket is complete, if we make it to the finals I would much rather face Tennessee Tech, Duke, Carolina, or Auburn. It's pretty amazing that every single series on that side has gone to a game 3.
Give me AU, SC, Tenn Tech, & Duke. I'm pulling for those guys.
Pulling for Butch. Sully is a prick.
Hate AR
Hate TX
Don't want to play Tex Tech
We will face the lowest seed, lowest rpi team left in opening game of CWS. Hopefully we can cash in a win right off the bat

Usually Id pull for the Horns but I hope TT shuts little clemens up.
Yeah being Washington's first time ever in the CWS, with the way this team works, I was kinda hoping we'd be matched up with the #1 overall seed.
Just say No to Horns and Razorbacks.
Pulling for Butch to get Auburn to Omaha. I don't like Auburn, but I'm a Butch Thompson fan.
Pulling for USCe, only b/c I live in Arkansas and I enjoy watching them suffer.
Wouldn't it be a kick in the pants to see Butch Thompson and Gary Henderson face off for the championship? Winner gets the MSU job?
Tech started 9 guys with above a .300 avg. Sick. Definitely rooting for them and I'm not scared of them. I'd love to face them for the title.
I’m pulling for Auburn, South Carolina, Tennessee Tech, and Duke. That would give us the best chance in the CWS.
Butch isn't leaving Auburn and especially not if he gets them to the title series.Quote:

Death blow by Arkansas in b1st. 5 spot after a 3 run bomb.
Baseball needs to have a procedure for the umpire to get a mic and explain the ruling to the crowd, like in football.
There was a controversial play in the Arkansas-South Carolina game that the crowd is incensed about. I realize that a lot of them would still be incensed with the explanation, but I suspect most of them are just legitimately confused and honestly think they got screwed when they actually didn't.
And Texas has already won and Arkansas almost certainly will. Tenn Tech is out.Quote:

Florida stole home on a very well designed play
Yeah, that was cool. Worked perfectly.Quote:

That was a Mangum-worthy catch by the Auburn center fielder. And a good double play.

Guy from Auburn just had the worst bunt attempt I think I've ever seen.
Florida scored their 2 run with the little league "Chicken" move. Runner on 1st steals while pitcher is looking at him and guy on 3rd steals home at exact same time.
What a cannon
Pretty sure the UF first baseman is one of tiger's original love childs
Great game
It is but I wish they'd hurry up and get it over with. Stayed up too late last night.Quote:
