Tennessee fans even worse than USM throwing their beer cans on the field. Arrogant fans seem to enjoy making themselves obvious. I’d love to see another #1 ranked go down early.
Like most Mississippi southern fans, Tennessee fans are trash.Quote:

Mississippi Southern is getting embarrassed by their Daddy.
A USM fan started a thread on the CUSA forum seeking support for the Mustard Buzzards in the Super Regional. He claims they represent CUSA, blah, blah, blah... I did not reply on that thread because I wasn't sure how I actually felt about it. Usually as I watch a game I find myself rooting for one side and well...I was rooting for Ole Miss today. No, USM and the other two threatened to sue CUSA just so they could violate the terms of their agreement. So, they are just Belchers to me. I am not an Ole Miss fan, or an SEC fan, so I don't care about them either. Maybe it's just the lesser of two evils kind of thing.Quote:

One thing for sure...all of the lower seeded teams on the right side of the bracket won Game 1s Saturday. And Auburn is the only national seed winner in that bunch. Still possible for only three of the 16 national seeds to make it to Omaha.
S.m.t.t.b!

SMTTT is a common cheer for USM fans that means Southern Miss To The Top. I believe Amos Moses was playing with that chant to mean the opposite with his change. He'll have to be the one to clarify.
I hope Southern Miss loses every game they ever play. I hope ECU and UCONN can make a run and eliminate as many of the haves as they can along the way.
The P5s aren’t holding back the G5 in baseball.

This is something Tech has to compete against as many fans (alumni or not) of LSU think Tech is another division.Quote:

And Notre Dame gets a shutdown inning. 7-3 heading to the 9th.
Now ND 7 Tenn 3 heading to the 9th. Just three more outs to get.
Love it! Go irish!!!!!!!
I want USM out of it. They are in Tech’s area of competition and anything good they do has the potential to limit the Dawgs. I’m not an SEC fan either but between Ole Miss and USM, I’m pulling for the Rebels.
Yep.Quote:

Game Three tonight:
Auburn vs. Oregon State
UCONN vs. Stanford
Texas bombed ECU 11-1 to take that series. ECU was up 4 runs with 5 outs to get in game 2 and couldn't get it done. Think I saw where ECU has the most, or one of the most, regional appearances (close to 40) without ever having reached the CWS.
I routed for LSU vs So Miss
I hate Tenn but if Tenn would of been playing against So Miss, I would of been Go Vols!
Karma always comes home to roost and USM, ODU and Marshall have it coming in spades!
Whatever befalls the SB3 they have certainly earned it. But actually, Belch baseball just got stronger with the additions of ODU and USM. It was already a solid conference with the likes of Texas State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, and a few others that are usually pretty good...yes, our good friends down in Lafayette. South Alabama was a powerhouse "back in the day" when Eddie Stankey was their coach; no reason that program can't return to better days.
As for USM, I have always respected them, but have never liked them and don't root for them in post season play, even when they represented our conference.
Stanford 10 UCONN 5
Auburn 4 Ore State 3
The field is set for Omaha.
Good grief!!! Half the field is SEC.
They earned the berths -Quote:

Yeah, and everyone expected Tennessee to be there too.
I have picked Notre Dame vs. Auburn in the finals. So far, so good after Day 1.
ND 7 Texas 3
OK 13 aTm 8
My dark horse to win it all is Ole Miss and they play Auburn tonight. But, I like the War Eagles Tigers a little better to win that bracket.
I hate to admit it, but I picked ND to win the CWS. I like their pitching and the fact they have some veterans. Plus they’ve been hot.Quote:

It’s surprising to me that none of the games so far have been very competitive. This CWS sure is missing a Tech team that’ll have you on the edge of your seat through 9 innings.
OK 6 ND 2
Oklahoma and Ole Miss, 2-0, are in the driver's seat.
Ole Miss is not 2-0 yet. Hopefully they will be but I doubt it.Quote:

Well if I don't want the SEC to win, I guess I have to hope for Notre Dame.
With Texas and Oklahoma already selling their souls to the SEC, 6 of the 8 in Omaha are SEC teams. Only ND is left to deny the SEC another title, but the odds are long.Quote:

It's all SEC now.
Arkansas is putting it in Auburn
Pigs 11 Auburn 1
Down to the final four.
Closest games have been 4 runs, and that has happened 5 times. And ND was involved in 3 of those. Otherwise, major blowouts.
I believe A&M is the only favored team to win a game.
OK eliminates aTm 5-1. Another 4-run game (the 6th) and still the closest margin of victory.
Teams with no number by their name winning. Even if it’s all SEC, I like it.
Guys, just watching the supers and the CWS has me geeked for next season. I can’t help it.
Ole Miss doesn’t have a record equal to Tech’s yet and they’re one game away from reaching the finals
Pigs 1 OM 1 4th inning....maybe we'll finally have a close finish, maybe.
Have gotten tired of seeing the 3 LSU azzholes sitting there like fat cats. Of course, it is a daily reminder that the tiggers aren't in Omaha. So there's that.

How did you arrive at the wrong conclusion when ALL of the evidence says otherwise?
As for the second question....the Ark lefty was destroying left-handed batters. He faced 4 OM hitters with the bases loaded and no outs. Three left-handed batters and one righty. The righty got a hit, infield single that plated a run, and the 3 lefties were puddy in the hands of the Piggy pitcher. Oh, I dunno, maybe pinch hit with a couple of right-handed batters. Maybe a squeeze play? A lefty can drag bunt down the 1st base line.
Thirdly, I was just having some fun with ya, Monty. Don't take posts on this forum so seriously...;)
Not taken seriously. I'm a student of the game so teach me. What do you call when the first batter comes up with no outs and bases loaded?
- Let him swing
- Squeeze play
Leatherwood was called in to pinch hit. He struck out for out one. Questionable move?
McCants goes to the plate in a double switch. Hits it to right, but not deep enough to get the run in for out two.
They get a run in and keep the bases loaded.
Next guy flies out to right.
Other than calling a squeeze with no outs or one out, there was nothing else that could have been done.
I know, it's easier to just say, "...left the bases loaded!"
OM 2 Pigs 0
Finals are set.
Last two games with Ole Miss and the Hogs were really good baseball games -
This should be a great final.
Except Ole Miss has used it's ace and Oklahoma has rested it's entire pitching staff. Ole Miss must beat Oklahoma twice to win it all. A very tall order with a pooped pitching staff.Quote:

One of the last 4 in the tourney, last one standing.
My dad said that OU got robbed of a run early. Runner called out for phantom interference
Your dad is wrong. The runner was clearly inside the baseline. Replays confirmed it. The right call was made.Quote:

No, the run should not have counted. The play was called correctly according to the rules. If coaches don’t like the rule, get it changed.Quote:

I think I heard they were the very last team in. But all you need sometimes is a chance. Three in a row for the SEC and 4 of the last 5. It is the SEC's world, they just let the rest of us live in it. At least for now.Quote:

It was a devastating call against Oklahoma because that was basically the only way a run wasn't going to score. But it was blatant obstruction since the runner's last two strides both clearly landed in fair territory out of the running lane. The lane is there for a reason and must be adhered to. The play would not have been overturned if the runner had landed one of those last two steps inside the lane.

I also think replay is BS unless they decide to use it behind the plate where there is actually no margin for error.
Replay isn't needed for balls and strikes. The original ball/strike calls should be made electronically. The technology is there, and plate umpires demonstrate that is needed every time a batter is rung up on a pitch that passes the front of the plate either fully over the opposite batter's box line or actually in the opposite batter's box. And in college baseball that happens at least once a game if not more.Quote:
