I wonder if James Madison and Thomas Jefferson are high fiving in the Deist afterlife.

These announcers are horrible

It's like listening to a Lowell Galindo tribute band.

Pretty sure that pitching change will haunt that manager for a long time. Not that anyone else wouldn’t have done it as well, but it happened to him. Bummer for him and DBU.

Don't care about DBU.  Texas is the best program in the state and we will prove that by being the only Texas team in Omaha.

Fuck you wannabes Tech, A&M, Baylor, DBU, UH, TCU.  All of you.

6 outs and 3 runs. DBU can come back. 

True, definitely, but unlikely.

That's all you had to say: the scariest environment imaginable. 

Not sure what was expected there. DBU threw the same curve ball five consecutive pitches. Second pitch UVA kid swung out of his shoes. Then pitch five closed his eyes and did the exact same thing except this time made contact.

Has anybody heard an explanation as to WHY ESPN is having people call all these games remotely?  Because it's awful.

Gotta still be Covid related. There’s NBA and MLB teams that still aren’t sending their media crews on trips.

Agree, but I don’t think DBU belongs with the others on that list. Doubtful they perceive themselves the way the others do. I was just looking at them as a novelty team with no serious chance.

ESPN has been sending their broadcast crews to games. Wouldn't be surprised if it were about money.

UVA is in! 

Now let's go Domers!

well Virginia is beatable so there is that, but I wanted to see DBU screw UVA

I would be surprised if it wasn’t.

Too bad.  Good season for DBU.

Are we still confident that we're the late game vs either MSU or Notre Dame over Tennessee vs Virginia.  I think we should be but with DBU losing, I'm not 100%.

Yeah, like with a lot of things, covid is only a convenient excuse at this point.

Well so were Fresno State and Coastal Carolina and plenty of other Omaha attendees over the years. They had the talent to win it, but a lot had to go their way. It did not.

I would think ND for sure, maybe not MSU.

"Texas is back!"

How the ACC was seeded in this tournament kind of baffles me. They had a ton of teams in the tournament but only 1 regional host, their champ, who was not even a national seed. What is the deal? They usually are one of the top leagues and now have two schools in Omaha.

I guess it was all the weirdness around Covid but it seems to me they were really, and unusually, under-rated this season.

Well damn. now 3 hours till my game. at least i'll get home. crack a beer and have a pour of bourbon for national bourbon day before first pitch hopefully.

Got no respect due to their limited nonconference schedule. You could say the same for the Big Ten but nobody considers them an elite baseball conference.

Announcer has gone full-blown Lowell Galindo on the kid who caught the HR ball, though I think even Lowell would have enough sense not to ask a coach if he saw it during an in-game interview.

Shortened season by only playing conference games... Is that what might be helping them also with players being more fresh?

Yeah I’m not gonna pull for any school in Texas. Especially one with “Baptist” in its fucking name 

Clearly it's bc they don't play a grueling SEC type schedule where every weekend is playing the 1927 Yankees, duh.

Dallas Baylor University 

Coastal was good that year and probably should have been hosting.  RPI/rankings going into the tournament were borderline top 16.  They don't belong in the same category as Fresno.

Yeah, it was bizarre.  ND especially got hosed.  As you said, the league was worthy of getting a ton of teams in but their champion who won the league by 4.5 didn't deserve a national seed?  The argument could be made that they should be hosting MSU and that if they were the series would already be over.

You mean for Monday?

This is how you do it by the way. Win or lose tonight, you’ve won the game of life.

Yeah, Nebraska was also underrated.  They for sure weren't the weakest 2 seed as evidenced by them pushing a salty Arkansas team that was this close to Omaha to the brink.

DBU has hosted before though. They are certainly in Coastal's category of really really good G5 teams.

Just Mississippi State vs Notre Dame. Winner plays us on Sunday in Omaha.

I really want ND to win, and that’s a disgusting thought that has never entered my mind before this series.  I’ve never been anti-SEC guy, but their fans at multiple schools are irritating as hell about how good they are. From Arky to LSU to both Mississippi schools to even A&M a d their ridiculous threads about our appearance and a lack of SEC schools there, it’s delicious to me. 

Vandy and Tennessee seems to be the least obnoxious SEC fan bases for baseball. If they are the only two that make it, I’ll a) be very surprised from when we started the Supers, and b) wholly satisfied that these cockdaddy SEC fans have been silenced. Particularly Ole Miss, Arky, LSU and A&M fans. 

Besides that time Jackie Sherrill was their head football coach I don't really have anything against Mississippi State but there is the knowledge that the A&M fans are all vicariously living through them and will be sad if they lose...

x16 x 3-4 days last weekend and x8 x 2-3 days this weekend

Tenn hadn't been since 2005 and ND hadn't been since 2002.  So I'm fine with them going.  

3 minutes ago, Dr. Beeper said:

They have a hell of a history for a team that’s never won it, with Will and Raffy, but solely because of their conference affiliation and A&M tears, I’m rooting for an ☘️ victory. 

On the other hand Notre Dame, along with Arizona and Tennessee, have a crazy good line up. I would just assume not see them in Omaha.

But hey it is not like we were going to get any easy games there anyway.
