Texas might score 20 tonight ....
They hit any of those midweek guys yet or they saving those arms?DJncsu13 said:Wolfpacklife said:
Dang.. Texas is hitting beach balls out there. 8-1 and still batting in the 2nd
Pirates churning through arms too. 4th pitcher taking the mound through 1 1/3.
Read that the winner of this game has to play the first game Friday. Not sure the difference in tonight vs. tomorrow morning, but I guess the rules are the rules.WolfQuacker said:
Why didn't they just play this tomorrow? 10:15 restart seems silly to me, but I guess is due to Texas travel should they advance?
Yep. We know the feelings.DJncsu13 said:
Pirates were 6 outs away on Saturday and up 3 runs. That will haunt them for a long time.

Add in VT who had their best chance in program history to make it to Omaha, but couldn't beat unseeded Oklahoma 2 out of 3. They may never have another chance like that.
There were a lot of folks who thought Oklahoma should've been hosting. I think them and ND both proved to be worthy.SportManagementEngineer said:Yep. We know the feelings.DJncsu13 said:

Baseball is a funny sport. The first 24 outs can be the easiest you've ever gotten and the last 3 the toughest.
ECU was, won 20 straight against lowly ranked teams after losing their second game to us. I am not sure why the committee ranked them so highly. I am not so sure what the committee thought on a lot of these seedings and pairings. Poor job overall. and sadly affects the tournament. For example, Tennessee vs Notre Dame and Louisville vs Tex A&M play while So Miss, Ga Southern and ECU host????wilmwolf80 said:
I didn't really think UNC or ECU were worthy of a top 8 seed, and if they were, I'm still not sure how we didn't make the field. Either way, we're all sitting at home now.
ECU was one of the worst over seeds I've seen for a national/top 8 seed. Racking up a bunch of wins in a one-bid conference and a win over Maryland is not a super regional host resume. Outside of Maryland, their record against quality teams was awful -- 0-2 against State, 1-2 against UNC, 0-1 against VT, 0-2 against Old Dominion.wilmwolf80 said:

One thing I did forget to add about the Buffalo Trace. The ABC stores only get deliveries once every quarter. Another reason it is in short supply.Wolfpacklife said:
That's interesting!
Also weird as heck but I just got back from Colorado and they said they have Buffalo trace all of the time, it's Woodford that's hard to find. I love Woodford too so I told them we need to just have a meet up and swap in Missouri

Thank you Arkansas and Texas.
It would have been a nightmare for State fans to have to listen/watch UNC and ECU both make it to Omaha, in a year where we were utterly screwed out of a bid, and a year after the pain from getting booted from a shot at the national championship after not losing a game in the CWS.
DBW... Check out the "All About Bourbon" thread... good stuff.DrummerboyWolf said:One thing I did forget to add about the Buffalo Trace. The ABC stores only get deliveries once every quarter. Another reason it is in short supply.Wolfpacklife said:

I don't drink any hard liquor. Thanks. I only know this as I was looking some for my friend. First time I looked I found some. 2nd time I looked I had to hit about 3 stores. Since then, no luck, but again not for me.TheStorm said:DBW... Check out the "All About Bourbon" thread... good stuff.DrummerboyWolf said:One thing I did forget to add about the Buffalo Trace.

Kinda makes you wonder 'what if' - Had we won last year and ND this year, would the Jarretts be the first father son duo to win NCs? For sure back-to-back NCs!DecaturWolf said:
Liked the props announcers were giving to the Pack last night, saying ND knocked off #1 seed like the Pack did to Arkansas. And then saying ND, like the Pack before being cancelled, may be the best team right now among the field.
