NCAA Baseball '11

[anyonefortennis]

Huskers signed former Angel/White Sock/Astro (and Nebraska punter) Darin Erstad as the new skipper for next year. Very excited to see what he does. Hope a World Series ring (plus 3 gold gloves, silver slugger, and 2 all star games) helps with recruiting.

UF, FSU, and Texas are all #1 seeds in their regions. Here is the bracket for the tournament: NCAA Division I Baseball Championship Bracket - NCAA.com. First games are Friday.

The front runner is UF, of course.

Thanks for bracket link. Hopefully I can find the Vandy game on the internet somewhere (audio or video) tonight. Good luck to Sully and your Gators. I'll also be pulling for the Clemson Tigers in their regional.

I'll be hoping all the SEC teams do well in the tournament.

How bout that Gator nailbiter?!

 

[MJ5150]

Those two long runs by Demps sealed the victory.

Miami tomorrow, I'm nervous.

I was at the golf course so I didn't see any of the FLA game.

Listening to the Clemson game now and barring something crazy they should handle Sacred Heart fairly easily.

Looks like I should be able to watch Vandy on the computer. Technology is nice.

Gators score one in the bottom of the ninth, and win 5-4. The Gator train keeps plugging along.

We (my soon to be alma mater) got knocked off today. Such a shame because we had been playing so well too.

 

[TJ55]

Gators thru. Dores thru. Clemson Tigers still a little work to do.

 

[MJ5150]

See you boys in Omaha:

Or not. Maybe next year buddy.

Oral Roberts is trying to be the only #4 to move into the super regionals.

[TJ55]

Or not. Maybe next year buddy.

-Mike

That was mean

Meanwhile, Clemson is trying to lose to UCONN. Really? UCONN? It's not even summer in Connecticut yet.

 

[MJ5150]

Super Regionals start on Friday, tomorrow!

In other college baseball (well, softball) news, the Gator women lost in the championship game to ASU. Great effort, but ASU really took it to them. At least they didn't lose the second game like they did the first one.

Looking forward to watching some pure baseball played the way it was intended this weekend. I enjoy the MLB too, but it's a business at the core and money taints everything. Contracts, owners, egos, showboats, etc, etc, etc...

I'll be able to watch the early afternoon games (Gators @ noon on ESPN2 I think?) here at work but I don't have ESPNU at my house so I have to figure something out for the Vandy game tonight. If it's not on the computer I'll either have to go to a friends house or come back to work.

 

[TJ55]

Great game this afternoon although the Gators took the loss. Walkoff two run bomb
down 1 in the 9th to force game three is what NCAA baseball is all about.

 

[MJ5150]

Vandy and UNC move on. Elimination game for the Gators in a couple hours on ESPN. Mick jinxed us in the ninth with all the Omaha talk in game two.

-Mike

 

[TJ55]

Gators strike first. Zunino(sp?) is a beast!

 

[basstotheface]

I'm getting pretty nervous.

 

[MJ5150]

I'm getting pretty nervous.

Elimination game at 7PM EST, on ESPN. Come on now Noles, don't let the Gators be the only Florida school in Omaha.

Oh, and a quick check of the updated bracket shows the Gators matching up with one of your other favorite college teams on Saturday, Texas.

-Mike

 

[basstotheface]

I'm not so nervous anymore.

Texas-UF should be real good. Texas needs to find their batting though if they wanna compete.

 

[MJ5150]

Randall pitches well through seven, the Gator bats come alive and we find ourselves in the winners bracket after day one in the CWS. Impressive to beat a Texas team so handily that is making it's 34th appearance in the CWS.

Vandy on Monday. SEC baseball being played in Omaha!!!
