  1. They lost in the most demoralizing way possible. Their trash display only made it funnier. I have a hard time being bitter.
  2. That was definitely true back in the day. Even just a decade ago the West Coast teams were just much stronger on pitching and defense and all that while the Eastern teams tended to be mashers. These days though it seems like the West Coast is not doing well in all major college sports not just baseball. I would hate to see it go the way of the Northeast.
  3. UVA was pretty bad this year, I guess it was time to get out of there.
  4. Look I don't dispute that the SEC has done remarkable things in the NCAA Baseball tournament and the CWS. The top 8, hell even top 10, SEC teams should be in the tournament and the top 4 should probably all be basically guaranteed top 8 national seeds. But it gets a little ridiculous when the entire bottom of the league are considered bubble teams and 6 of the 8 top 8 national seeds and half the hosts are all SEC. Come on. And the effect is that the other leagues basically get treated like crap and seem disrespected. And we spent years in one of those other leagues. The Big 12 was regularly a top 4 or 3 RPI league but we might as well have been hammered dog shit. It was quite frustrating. Now granted I guess if they want to be treated differently they need to beat all the SEC teams...but does it even make sense? Why would ALL the SEC get credit because of the excellence of the two teams that made the finals? Somebody, a few of them even from other leagues, beat all those other SEC teams. I think if you are one of those SEC teams who made the finals then you deserve some deference. Sure. But Kentucky has never made the finals. Why would they get deference? Just because they played teams that had? I didn't notice Baylor getting a ton of hype just because they played us back when we were regular championship participants. Kentucky has won one CWS game EVER. Granted it was last year...but still. Anyway glad to get the benefit of being the national #2 instead of the #2 at the Miami Regional for winning our conference.
  5. Always is. Bring your walking shoes. Though who would go to a baseball game in dress shoes?
  6. I didn't see those. Also unless I am spending like $5 I have a hard time accepting the L5-L6-L7 seats. Speaking of which, holy crap are the session 4 seats already crazy expensive.
  7. Yeah...and frankly I am not really sure what will be left of those by tomorrow. Frustrating. But I got two tickets in L2 for just the game on Friday but wow not cheap. This whole ticket situation for this year leaves me less than gruntled.
  8. The premier in state rust belt program.
  9. That seems the opposite of "everybody gets a medal" Auto bids only go to champions. People who finish #1 in their league. My only issue is the weirdness of having that be the tournament champion. That is weird in basketball and even weirder in baseball. But without that I guess the tournaments would be pointless...I mean even more than they already are.
  10. A&M had multiple quality losses last season.
  11. Yeah but he has been sent to the QB graveyard of Cleveland Ohio. A place where youthful potential gets wasted and veteran legacies get tarnished. Baker Mayfield is the only one in 25 years to emerge with a career.
  12. I always hated their little march of occupation during the Thanksgiving holiday. I am perfectly fine with this tradition ending. You know, for the sake of the poor corps turds of course.
  13. Houston Christian is certainly a weak #4 but not the weakest. But nothing weak about Kansas State and UTSA. I don't buy this, but also I have years of experience of tough mid week games against UTSA and hard fought series against K-State. Neither are going to be intimidated by Texas.
  14. Well the pro sports playoffs traditionally didn't need this because they had decently balanced schedules. Traditionally college teams would be radically different with a very regional schedule so you can't just blindly seed by record. Except, obviously, the 1927 Yankees had a big advantage over the rest of the American League by not having to play the 1927 Yankees.
  15. The premier in state SEC program! Now the secondary in state SEC program.
  16. The all Bulldog CWS final.
  17. Yep. Every team has a guy.
  18. Nebraska also sucks though. I hope the Tar Heels win that Regional easily.
  19. You guys act like a #4 has never won anything before. Fresno State won the National Title as a #4 in 2008 remember. Granted I don't think Houston Christian is a Fresno State.
  20. They have some really good players. That wasn't the problem. By the way congrats on the Regional Berth.
  21. https://texaslonghorns.evenue.net/events/BBP Session tickets go on-sale 10am on Wednesday. So I guess I will be here hitting F5 at 9:59 on Wednesday.
  22. Hope we beat them 12-2 again. Of course no run rule in the post-season. Pity I won't know for sure I am going before Thursday. I think that is it. He prefers not to wait around.
  23. Fuck that. Auto bids are awesome. And necessary, otherwise huge parts of the country would be completely ignored. The only part that might be stupid is them going to the tournament winner and not the regular season winner. Fuck Missouri would probably be a 4 without them. "Look at the amazing SECSECSEC teams they lost to! They deserve a bid!"
  24. Not helped by the part where we lost.
  25. Yep. Sent them home 1-0.
