    Knocking Pitt out may not be our best chance of getting into the ACCT. Pitt has a very weak opponent this weekend in Notre Dame. Chances are high that they sweep the Irish. The Pack’s best chance may be to displace Wake Forest. Although Wake has a 2 game lead, they play Virginia this weekend. If Virginia sweeps Wake and the Pack wins just 2 of the games at VT, State and Wake would be tied with State owning the head to head advantage. If the Pack sweeps VT, then Wake would have to win 2 against UVA to hang on to their spot. The common prerequisite for all of these scenarios is that the Pack must win.

    Great wrap up of the scenarios here:

    Inexcusable to be in this position, we can all agree.

    To add mystery to the intrigue, the weather forecast looks awfully wet this weekend. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a few double headers in some of these season-ending series.

    ^ Yep, weather looking sketchy indeed.

    As of now today’s game is still scheduled for 5:30p. But interestingly enough ESPN3 has backed out of broadcasting today’s game, allegedly due to the weather. Dunno why they can’t just say they don’t want to bother with two sh-tty teams no one gives a rat’s fat behind about.

    Or, maybe Danny Kanell’s rental car fees from last weekend put them in too big of a financial hole (/obscure reference) .

    No…Kanell’s rentals are exactly why.

    Rain postponements suck.

    My god, I think half my life is in rain delay.

    True dat, Wuf.

    What I should have written was, postponements are good.

    Rain delays suck.

    This just in…..

    ND WINS…..3 – 0 over Pitt. Both schools’ websites confirm….ESPN still not even listing game.

    Way to go IRISH….

    WF v UVA Postponed due to weather.

    ND WINS…..3 – 0 over Pitt.

    Also, Clemson topped BC and Duke fell to FSU (both good things for our potential tiebreaker situation with Pitt)

    With State/VT and Wake/UVa both doubling up today, a lot could shake out one way or another.

    Wuf – Thanks for recap and 8:54 post. Go Pack.

    Doesn’t look like ESPN3 will be airing either of the Pack’s games today. Anyone know of another online TV source to watch? No game tracker, not today.

    ^ My guess is that the only option would be if VT is doing some sort of video feed, but looking at their website it appears they’re only offering audio for our games, and even that is paid subscription.

    All 3 of the weekend’s games were originally supposed to be ESPN3 broadcasts, but apparently VT had some hand in nixing that ahead of time, though I don’t know the details.

    Gotta love baseball. Of the 3 VT starters, Scheetz by far has the worst ERA, but is 4-1 whereas the other 2 have losing records. Markey’s ERA is almost half of Scheetz’s, but he’s 2-7.

    FWIW, it’s tied 2-2 mid 3rd and Rodon has not been particularly sharp so far.

    4-2 Pack mid 4th.

    Updates appreciated Wuf. Hope Carlos is settling down.

    He doesn’t seem to be.
    4-4 headed to the 5th.

    The video feed will allegedly come back up if/when the wifi in the VT pressbox comes back up.

    Austin leads off the Pack’s 5th with a solo shot to make it 5-4.

    6-4 Pack, Fincher on 2nd, still none away. VT pitching change.
