    Oh Red Raiders. I’ve always felt a kinship to thee and now I know why. That was SO NC State of you.

    Never mind. Raiders get out of it.

    TT has nine lives and I think they have used 8 of them.

    TT looks like they will force a game three.

    RIP, Chris Cammack. CD, 67 what was he like. Did you guys know him. Seemed like a stud on the diamond. Wonder why he never wanted to play in the bigs?

    I heard stories of his greatness, but only met him a couple of times. He was extremely gracious. I never knew the reason as to why he chose not to sign.

    He had been ill for the past 4 years, at the very least.

    My pop knew him well. As a boy, we lived in Fayetteville and my dad and Chris’s dad were friends, and I remember meeting him. Didn’t know he was drafted that many times

    A team full of draftees, with money out the whazoo, gets punked in their own gazillion dollar yard. Nice.

    BTW. That goes for Mississippi State, too, at my old home away from home, Dudy Noble Field.

    It ain’t the yard, peeps…never has been. It’s about the dirt in your jock. Or pants, when it comes to the chicaderos.

    I really thought this might be ‘Ville’s year.
    PieRats went out with a whimper after their “almost had it” game yesterday.

    Shocked Louisville goes down. Thought they were a lock for Omaha. I really hope Miami gets sent packing. That joker gets one in the rib cage or worse if I’m on the bump.

    Sheldon assumes that is sarcasm. Why feed the nannies?

    I think OK St. looks mighty good. 5-0 @ Clemson & Columbia.

    Purely unintentional, if sarcasm seemed implied. No…I appreciate the mighty Papa Johns going down. The little Gauchos, along with the upstart “Chaunceleers,” shall have my following.

    Agreed on the “Little Guys” rooting interest.

    The Big12 represented themselves very well this year.

    Kinda gotta pull for the ‘Noles tonight I think. Would be cool to shut the SEC out of Omaha. Plus, f-ck the Gators.

    Thinking back to early season comments after the BC series loss. BC was definitely a worthy foe. acc and sec baseball overrated. D1 baseball carries on the baseball America tradition. pac 12 and west coast teams, plus southwestern clubs underrated.

    BTW. I had to dig deeper into CC’s Connor Owings, after I noticed he wasn’t drafted until the 30 something round. That kid does what he does on, pretty much, a kidney and a 1/3.

    He will need a transplant at any given moment. His Mama will be the donor. Also, because I’m always so on top of things, the D-Backs selected him…who knew that his brother is Chris Owings, Arizona’s #1 pick 3 yrs. ago? ( …not me. )

    I tell ya what, I’m proud of BC. I’ve given them a load of crap over the years, all of which was deserved. But it was really fun to see them show some stones this year, especially in the post season. And I don’t know if I actually posted any of the comments you’re referring to, but I was definitely thinking them at the time at the very least.

    Agreed with BC. Many times I’ve wondered what happened with all the really good baseball that I competed against from NE, as a kid.

    Shoes, I do like my West Coast / Southwest ball, but will never, ever, acquiesce to their overall strengh.

    Just the same…Go Gauchos!

    I agree cd. I watch a lot more acc and sec baseball but my impression is that the leagues, as good as they are, are just a little too hyped. Conference strength may be better but the top pac 12 and the Fullertons and Rices and Dallas Baptists would fair well in either conference.

    to me, the sec has been a power league for a while, and the acc has drifted in that direction. It’s the long ball and the power pitcher. Plenty of finesse teams and players who aren’t overpowering but are fundamentally superior. It’s like putting the burger boy Dunking and dribbling machines against a group of solid 3-4 year players. show me a d1 starter who can’t catch up to the 90 mph fastball.
