Oh hey, it's CWS time. I can't wait for endless discussion on the orientation of the ballpark.

I think this year it will be seeing if the new baseball help increase the scoring. It's been helpful during the regular season. TD is such a vacuum to offense though, that will be the true test.

B1G went 5 and 0 in their first games. Impressive start.

Not only will you be able to buy beer in the club level, this year you will be allowed to take said beer to your seats. We are such adults.

Michigan beats Bradley, St. John's beats Oklahoma St.
And Texas goes 0 & 2 and BBQ!

Illinois goes 2-0 after shutting out Notre Dame to get to the Regionals Championship game.

Post by **Coyote** » Sun May 31, 2015 6:04 pm

Iowa scores a run in the top of the 11th to beat Oregon 2-1 and advance to the Regional Championship game...

Post by **Coyote** » Sun May 31, 2015 6:33 pm

Indiana gives up 2 in the 8th to fall 5-3 to Radford.
Michigan loses in the Championship game to (overall #3 seeded) Louisville.

Maryland (2-0) vs UCLA (2-1) tonight
Illinois (2-0) vs Wright St (2-1) tomorrow 2:00 pm

Iowa (2-1) left bases loaded in the top of the 8th and trails MO St. 2-3. And then lost in the 9th after they left the tying run on second with one out.

Post by **Coyote** » Mon Jun 01, 2015 1:37 am

Maryland 2. UCLA 4. Rubber match tomorrow.
BTW - Rice vs Houston just went into the 19th inning tied at 2..,

Post by **Coyote** » Mon Jun 01, 2015 4:09 pm

Illinois is on to the Super Regional, where they will most likely play Vanderbilt.

Post by **Coyote** » Mon Jun 01, 2015 4:20 pm

A team from Louisiana is guaranteed a spot at the CWS, as the third seeded Ragin Cajuns wins the Houston bracket to'play LSU, in the Super Regionals. Another Cinderella out there are the third seeded Virginia Cavaliers, who will now play the winner of the Maryland /UCLA game this evening.

Post by **Coyote** » Mon Jun 01, 2015 9:22 pm

VCU, a Four seed makes it to the Supers!

Looks like the Super Regionals will be:

Maryland....................LSU
Virginia......................LA-Lafayette

Arkansas....................Texas A&M
Missouri St..................TCU

Miami.......................Illinois
VCU.........................Vanderbilt

Florida......................Louisville
Florida St..................Cal St Fullerton

iamjacobm · Post by **iamjacobm** » Mon Jun 01, 2015 9:30 pm

VCU won a regional with power programs Texas and Oregon St as well as arguably the most up and coming baseball school Dallas Baptist. Must be something in the water on the Rams' campus that fosters underdog success stories.

Post by **Coyote** » Mon Jun 01, 2015 11:07 pm

Holy |expletive|!!! TCU scores 6 in the 8th, ties it with one in the 9th and beats NC State in the 10th!

Post by **Coyote** » Tue Jun 02, 2015 12:13 am

Maryland could pull this one off. UCLA strands 2 in the top of the 7th after scoring one to pull within 2-1. But that was with their 3,4,5 hitters...

Post by **Coyote** » Tue Jun 02, 2015 1:01 am

Maryland defeats #1 seed UCLA 2-1
Teams representing Conferences in the Super Regionals:

SEC - 5
ACC - 4
Big X - 2
Big XII - 1
Missouri Valley - 1
Big West - 1
Atlantic 10 - 1
Sun Belt - 1
Pac 10 - 0

Only one team west of the Rockies!

Bunch of regulars so far. Miami, Florida and Virginia.

Post by **Coyote** » Sun Jun 07, 2015 11:41 am

Virginia scores 5 in the top of the 8th to beat Maryland 3-5 in the first game,
Virginia scores 3 in the bottom of the 9th to sweep Maryland 4-5 in the second.

Vandy whips Illinois 0-13

MO St. Splits games with Van Horn.

Just thought I would note, Texas A&M is playing TCU not the Texas Longhorns.

My bad, I copied my previous bracket and the A&M got backspaced out....

Woodmen was lit purple the night LSU clinched. Their forum is convinced its because we can't wait for them to get here.

Linkin5 · Post by **Linkin5** » Mon Jun 08, 2015 8:01 am

Ha! I saw that on TD, does anybody know if that is actually the case?

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Mon Jun 08, 2015 8:38 am

That is funny, my wife said the same thing "It must be because LSU made the tournament"

I just checked Woodmen's lighting schedule and it didn't show anything for Sunday and it being purple. It was red, white and blue on Saturday night for D-Day and will be again on this next Saturday for the first day of the CWS.

So their board really is convinced that Omaha loves when they get to the CWS. I'm new here, so is this true or are they just full of themselves?

iamjacobm · Post by **iamjacobm** » Mon Jun 08, 2015 9:09 am

Omaha does love LSU fans. They are a lot of fun and spend a ton of $$$ in Omaha. Barrett's is going to be the place to be this weekend.

It looks like it was purple for Cancer Survivors Day though. Just like the Tiger's brash confidence.

Tent city going up in North Downtown. Looks like Nike is doing a huge set up on the gravel lot off of 15th and Cuming, a couple Nike branded shipping containers and a big stage rigging going up. UP's train was pulling up as I drove by this morning too.

We love the LSU fans. They were easily the most fun when you could tailgate at the Blatt.

Great people who know how to have a good time and include others.

Louisiana brings the best tailgaters and food in the country... With either LSU or ULALA coming I was ready to find me some new friends....

MadMartin8 · Post by **MadMartin8** » Mon Jun 08, 2015 5:01 pm

LSU Baseball fans are by far and away the best fans in College Baseball, or maybe all of college sports. Very inclusive, know how to party, bring a great atmosphere, and oh my goodness the food.

iamjacobm · Post by **iamjacobm** » Mon Jun 08, 2015 6:03 pm

SECfest. Vandy is in.

Post by **Coyote** » Mon Jun 08, 2015 6:03 pm

B1G goes 0-4 as the 6th seed Illini lose to defending Champs Vandy.
