The wife and I have been in Germany for about 2 weeks. Today we were taking a tour of Dachau, a WW2 concentration camp outside of Munich. I had my red Wolfpack baseball cap on when a couple (out of 14 people on our tour). Stopped me and asked me were we Wolfpack fans and/or from NC. Seems this 30 (age) something couple was from Omaha and goes to every World Series since moving to Omaha from Louisiana. They begin to tell me how they had adopted the Pack last year and they fully believed the team would take the tournament. They were there for the Friday game with what was it, 10 or 11 players. They were as mad and upset as we were that we had the rug pulled out from under us.
They also knew about us not making the tournament this year and felt like we had been shafted again.
Just wanted to share the story.

To echo that, I was at a wedding this weekend and I had a few LSU grads tell me the same thing. They really were Americas team

Yes, an LSU grad I know here in Georgia is one of the ones who said that to me. LSU is passionate about baseball for sure.

I was at Dachau a couple of weeks ago wearing my NC State shirt. Sadly, no one noticed.

Not to beat a dead horse, but if the NCAA had an ounce of decency, all things equal with other programs on the bubble, they would have put us in this year's tournament out of respect for what happened to us last year. However, it was almost like they wanted to punish us for being upset last year.

Same. Had some Pack fans yell out to me in Venice a few years ago. Made my unc wife (not a big sports fan) shocked. It's been a thing every vacation we take that we'll run into at least 1 Pack fan no matter where we are. Had a St. Lucian local try to sell us some "cigars" on the beach and I almost did it because of his NC State hat ha.
