June 19, 20214 yr My team was atrocious. Arkansas was #1 all year. We're both watching the CWS on tv, and that makes me happy. I'm not above pettiness at all when it comes to this stuff.
June 19, 20214 yr 2 hours ago, torre said: Informative summary by Rogers and Fitt. Should note that Chris Burke stated on SECN that Arizona's offensive numbers may be inflated due to the elevation in Arizona. Claimed that was the case when he played for the Diamondbacks. #SEC homer well, I am smitten...

June 19, 20214 yr Just now, elfenix said: Sure double play eats up the third baseman, Stanford scores and everyone is safe There were two outs
June 19, 20214 yr These Sony Alpha shots ESPN is doing are even more magic than they are in NFL games
June 19, 20214 yr Sergio, using a wedge from about 50 yards, hits a ball that takes one bounce and hits the flag stick. Ball kicks back off the green, rolls down all the way...back to Sergio’s feet! Never seen that before!

June 19, 20214 yr Blue is giving this dude a pretty low strike zone. Giving the Stanford pitcher a few inches off the plate. I'm 54 years old and I've never understood what's so hard about calling the strike zone as defined
June 19, 20214 yr Is Mississippi State allowed to bring their cowbells into the stadium? Base hit RBI!

June 19, 20214 yr On top of a shitty strike zone, this guy is one of those umps who gives you the 2-second delay before he throws out his arm and calls the strike. He's probably a child molester.
June 19, 20214 yr Should have been a double play and instead its runners on first and second, no outs.

June 19, 20214 yr I meant to post this yesterday, but beer got in the way. Using a proprietary algorithm -- I blend D1 and Nolan RPI, it's complicated shit -- here are the 1st game matchups, from easy to hard on the higher ranked team. Tennessee/UVA Stanford/NC State Vanderbilt/Arizona Texas/Mississippi State So, NC State is doing their best to blow my incredibly complex analysis all to shit, which is a good thing. The real takeaway is that UTenn benefits greatly from the draw, and we don't. Fuck it, we're still the real UT.
