College World Series Thread

[Dr. Starcs]

8 teams left - (UCSB, Ok St, Arizona, Miami, Tex Tech, TCU, Florida, Coastal Carolina)

1) Who do you want to win it all?
2) Who do you NOT want to win it all?
3) Who do you think will win it all?

Choose ONE for each

For me,
1. Coastal Carolina
2. Florida I guess.
3. Florida I guess.

[hog_fan86]

1. Coastal Carolina or UCSB
2. Miami.  I hope their little showboat player gets plunked a few times. What an embarrassment.
3. Florida.

[TikiHog]

Florida

[HogsonHicks]

1.  UCSB. I like the underdog and appreciate the way they play the game.

2.  Miami. I want them to go 0-2 and go home. 

3.  Florida. Best pitching depth. They can run AJ Puk out as a #3 starter. Ridiculous.

[hogman64]

Coastal Carolina.... how can you not like them?   They beat LSU on their home field causing extreme misery to their fans and they go 100 miles an hour every play....

[Dr. Starcs]

C'mon hogman, make your picks

coastal
miami/tceh

[Maddhog]

Florida
Miami/Arizona

[BigSexyHog]

Texas Tech?  Man I knew I haven't been paying attention this year and checked out on the hogs halfway through SEC play but Texas Tech?  Really didn't even realize that were that good.

Oh almost forgot to answer the question.

Coastal Carolina
UCSB
Miami

[ricepig]

CC/UCSB
Miami
Florida

[rhog1]

1. Coastal Carolina or UCSB
2. Miami.  I hope their little showboat player gets plunked a few times. What an embarrassment.
3. Florida.

This order exactly for me. I will be rooting for both Coastal and UCSB. 

[Cornfed Pig]

Can't believe only one SEC team made it through - such is baseball I suppose.

1. Coastal or UCSB
2. Miami
3. Texas Tech

[Dr. Starcs]

You guys picking two teams are killing me!  Lol

[hogman64]

C'mon hogman, make your picks

ok
coastal Carolina
Miami

[jbell96]

1. UCSB (How can you not root for a team whose ace is named Bieber) & CCU
2. Miami/Texas Tech
3. Florida

Who are your picks for the title series?

I have Florida vs Oklahoma State. The Pokes' pitching has been 2nd to none this postseason, having allowed no more than 2 runs in any of the 5 games they've played, 4 of those games against great offensive teams, so I think they make it out of bracket 2. Florida is just too strong for anyone in bracket 1, but I really hope I'm wrong on that one.

[ROASHE]

1) Florida
2) Miami
3) Florida

[RazrRila99]

Arizona - root for the local team
Florida - SEC loyalty ONLY
Coastal - Id LOVE to see a new team win it all

[ucahogfan]

Going to be a long day for Ok State if the home plate umps keeps giving the UCSB pitcher 6 inches off the plate.

[Dr. Starcs]

What a snooze fest college baseball has become. In general anyway.

[Maddhog]

Okie Lite wins.   

[tennesseehogwild]

Picking a Florida vs Miami Title match with Gators winning CWS!  Rooting for Coastal vs UCSB though!

Rough start for Miami.  Arizona is playing well under first year head coach.

I hate both these teams...But I hate Miami worse!

Pretty cool little quiz to see who you should go for. Only 8 questions.

Florida for me!  (Ugh)

[yraciv]

1) Who do you want to win it all? FL
2) Who do you NOT want to win it all?Miami
3) Who do you think will win it all? TCU

GO GAUCHOS! haha

[Knot2brite]

CCU.....making people believers...this kid they have pitching tonight is just amazing

[Cornfed Pig]

The teal is real

[Dr. Starcs]

The U in danger of going 2 & cue.

Down 5-1 to USCB in the 7th after a 1 hour rain delay.

[PorkRyan]

Miami still mouthing down 5-1

[ricepig]

Miami still mouthing down 5-1

5-3 and still looking for more.

[Cornfed Pig]

VIVA LOS GAUCHOS!

[dotnet]

If Miami and Florida both went 0-2, that would be pretty nuts.  Talk about an upside down year

[Cornfed Pig]

Hurricaints

[Dr. Starcs]

Thug U is done

[Dr. Starcs]

Another snooze fest in Omaha with the cowpokes leading 1-0 through 7.

Sheesh, when is college baseball gonna seriously address the lack of offense? It's like a soccer match. On top of that, the umps consistently give pitchers a ball inside or outside the plate. Makes it even tougher on the hitters.

Move the fences in 20 feet at Omaha.

Eibner still has no problem clearing them!

[bulldog04]

Remember when Jake Wise cleared them easily during the dead ball era?  I was in complete shock

[Dr. Starcs]

That ball landed 5 rows in front of me. Hit to deep left center field.

[bulldog04]

I liked that Zona pitcher's stuff.  93 MPH two seamer with a hammer that has some tilt.  Drafted in the 4th by the Red Sox.  I was hoping the would beat Okie Lite

[Dr. Starcs]

Through 6 games, the 27 total runs scored is the lowest in college World Series history.

*and Florida on the brink of elimination. Down 2-0 in the 8th to Texas tech.

[Razorbacks#1]

Florida still hanging in there with a HR to score two in the bottom of the 9th.
3-2 TT
None on, 1 out

[Razorbacks#1]

Florida goes down 3-2 and joins Miami heading home.

[PonderinHog]

Chomp!

[southarkhog06]

How does Florida always choke so hard in Omaha with all that talent?

[Dr. Starcs]

Good question.

They just never can get it done. And I don't know the answer to it.

[PRORODEO51]

Going 2 and out as a number 1 seed has to diminish the Florida head coaches chances of getting the Texas job if he had aspirations of getting it.

He's already turned down the Texas job. Was their #1 target.
