Does anyone have a rooting interest in one of the teams?
I guess I’m pulling for NC State, and maybe Florida a little because they are the only “underdog” team still around. Should be a lot of good baseball, though.
Also, has anyone been to Omaha for the CWS? I’ve always wanted to go, and would like to hear what experiences you had if you attended. Seems like it would be great fun to take in the games there.
I’m in a pick’em with seven others and we did a snake draft before regionals. Only 1st and 2nd get paid and I’ve got Virginia and A&M remaining. In a perfect world those two meet up in the championship and Virginia wins. Only two of us have two teams in the CWS and we just happen to play each other in the 1st round in both games.
also pulling for nc state as the most representative underdog.
i’ve been to omaha but it was past rosenblatt stadium days; still good but wished i would’ve gone once then. rosenblatt seemed more special than td ameritrade stadium or whatever it is called now. flying into omaha is great, all sorts of oil derrik heads surrounding the airfield and airport makes hobby look like george bush.
I’ve been to the CWS one time and that was back when it was at Rosenblatt. I’ll never forget walking up the stairs from the RF concourse and seeing the field for the first time which was a night game between Miami and Stanford. Rosenblatt was so special because of the history and the surrounding neighborhood which had a Heights type feel with bungalow style homes. Homeowners letting you park in their driveways for a small fee and people grilling out in their front yards and inviting you over for a beer. House bars across the street made for a good time between games and after. I have no desire to go again (unless we make it) because I hear it has such a corporate feel to it now.
AM game ended at 2am est time.
All the Ag stereotypes acting up in that crowd.
UF fans know them by now but the ordinary fan at the game was uncomfortable.
I wonder if the top 4 national seeds have ever played against each other in the second round at the CWS. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the first time ever.
What a piece of shat. I mean that’s a level of personal degeneracy that’s hard to top with one’s mouth. How does that even enter one’s state of mind?
In the era of facial recognition don’t be surprised if that yahoo is banned from all SEC events. Actually looks like a father and son. I was at their Oregon eliminator a few days back. I’m relatively certain I heard that guy mouthing like a hellion. Aggie needs to do better policing their own tribe.
