ParticipantYeah, the Pack9 folded prematurely. But my impression is that we have a handful of hardcores who will still follow the CWS, even if only in passing. Plus, it’s like a frigging mausoleum around here lately.
And it’s not as if State fell to a bad team by any stretch. Coastal Carolina has made it all the way to Omaha with 7 other hopefuls. Personally, I’m hoping those beach type roosters bring home the hardware. UCSB and TT will be my other rooting interests.
Bracket 1 gets going today:
3pm – UCSB vs OkieSt
8pm – Arizona vs MiamiBracket 2 goes tomorry:
3pm – TCU vs TxTech
8pm – Coastal Carolina vs Floridahttp://www.ncaa.com/interactive-bracket/baseball/d1/2016/cws
Talk about it.

ModeratorAs an expatriate of CA, I need to see a couple of Gauchos throw some boleros around Okie St; right now!
.Wonderfully played game.06/18/2016 at 5:40 PM #104657TheCOWDOG
ModeratorAwrite. I’ve decided to don a Panama freakin’ hat for game 2. I will not put on white loafers, however.

ParticipantIs that a coy way of saying you will be rooting for the ‘Canes?
I can’t believe what I’m hearing.06/18/2016 at 7:44 PM #104660TheCOWDOG
ModeratorYessir. Now if it was ASU, different story. I wouldn’t mind seeing Miami’s, Michaelangelo kid getting his dick flipped a couple times, though.

ParticipantIt’s like I don’t even know you anymore.

ParticipantAnd the reverse MOJO works again.
Now let’s hear a resounding Go Gators!!!

ParticipantC’mon Coastal…3 more outs boys.

Loser’s Bracket, 2pm – TxTech vs Florida (loser eliminated)
Winner’s Bracket, 7pm – Coastal vs TCU06/20/2016 at 8:03 AM #104666YogiNC
ParticipantThat’s Chicken Little wuf! Beckwith had the stuff! Wuz thinking when I watched him pitch how REALLY nasty his delivery is. Never know which direction it’s coming from and that LOW sidearm with the slider, YUCK! Catching for that dude would be a blast! Give him a low target and watch ’em either whiff or get a called strike. Who could hit that? And not many did! #1 poof, into to the LOSERS bracket you go! GO GO Chicken Little!!!

ParticipantThat’s Chicken Little wuf!
LOL, yes. But considering the allegedly big cluckers are home in Columbia playing with themselves (so to speak)…..

ParticipantSo…the team that eliminated us in dramatic fashion this year is playing the team that eliminated us in dramatic fashion last year?! What are the odds?
06/20/2016 at 1:01 PM #104669ncsu1987
ParticipantBeckwith was masterful last night, the entire game was an absolute joy to watch. I will admit to switching back and forth from Omaha to Oakland, but got to see a lot of the baseball game. Feels weird to have the team I’m rooting for win…I’d like some more, please…
With this field, I must agree – beach chickens all the way!
Will be pulling hard for the Red Raiders in the losers’ bracket, not sure how many teams have beaten Gators twice this year…(couldn’t resist, had to look, was surprised to see that it happened several times this year…) Still…
Thanks, Wuf, BTW, good to see some life here…
06/20/2016 at 1:25 PM #104670YogiNC
ParticipantFound out from reading some of the write ups on that game Beckwith came up with that low sidearm curve pitch supposedly when he was warming up in the bullpen before the game. If that is so (and I have no reason to believe it isn’t) the sky fell on the heads of the gators. Sorry, I could NOT resist the pun. I didn’t see him pitch against us but one would think if he had that stuff against us I would have heard about it in the commentary. In any case it was timely and bonked the gators big time. I can tell you this, All the “other” teams are going to be pulling for “Chicken Little” when they aren’t playing ’em.

ParticipantAnd if you REALLY want some deja vu, Coastal plays TCU Tuesday.

ParticipantGauchos live to fight another day.
‘Canes not so much.
5-3 Final, UCSB eliminates Miami, awaits the loser of tonight’s ‘Zona/OkieSt game.06/20/2016 at 6:29 PM #104674TheCOWDOG
ModeratorThere, my world order has been temporarily restored.
Well done Gauchos.
06/21/2016 at 12:17 AM #104685Wufpacker
ParticipantOkieSt tops ‘Zona 1-0. ‘Zona will face UCSB on Wednesday. Loser goes home, winner will have to then beat OkieSt 2x to advance to Champs’ Series.
06/21/2016 at 7:49 PM #104699Wufpacker
ParticipantGators eliminated. TxTech now awaits the loser of tonight’s Coastal/TCU tilt (9pm, ESPN)
First time in a dozen years the Champ’s Series will not have either an SEC or an ACC team.Also, it seems that being a national seed ain’t what it used to be.
06/21/2016 at 8:44 PM #104700TheCOWDOG
ModeratorI’m just gonna go back to my Gauchos, Chauncerleers, match. We had fantastic baseball input on the site over the last month.
Who says SFN has been silent? (I know…I read, and it kinda pissed me off to see someone say that.) Took me 20 minutes to read it, too.
06/21/2016 at 10:34 PM #104702Wufpacker
Participant^ Ditto. Unfortunately it looks like TCU may be about to break this one open.
06/22/2016 at 12:48 AM #104704Wufpacker
ParticipantTCU knocks off Coastal. 6-1 Final.
The Chants will now have to beat TxTech on Thursday, then turn around and beat TCU twice if they are to make the Champ’s Series.06/22/2016 at 10:12 PM #104711Wufpacker
Participant‘Zona eliminates UCSB 3-0 Final, moves on to face OkieSt, must beat them twice.
06/23/2016 at 11:00 AM #104719Pack78
ParticipantI have finally gotten over being torqued off about the way our season ended…looking forward to Coastal’s game tonight-go Chicken Littles!
