It's a fun time of year, I've been a big fan of the NCAA post-season baseball tournament since the 80s.  Back when I was in college, only 48 teams made it to the baseball tourney and it was organized into eight regionals of 6 teams each, with a true double elimination tournament to decide the winner.  It was awesome seeing all of the different schools and their fans roll in for what amounted to a VERY long weekend.

Softball's fun too, especially when your school's team is pretty good.

I think you were the one who explained to me how that worked and I thought it sounded insane. Which it still does, but in kind of fun way.

the college baseball postseason also gives rise to my favorite archetype of player, which is a reliever or long reliever who is just a pretty nice player and then somehow throws two complete games in the postseason, each at a moment when his team is out of arms.

I would guess at times a freshman pitcher gets it going late in the year and shines.

Will Beorgia Tech host a super?  Maybe I could get a ticket?

I assumed they had won their regional, but they are do or die against Oklahoma now.  7-3 lead in 7th.

And with that, Texas takes two in a row to eliminate UTenn and head to the WCWS finals.

Opponent will be either Alabama or Texas Tech, depending on the outcome of tonight's game(s).

I guess it’s bad to be a 1 or 2 seed these days.

I just imagine the Troy groundskeepers panicking and running around, having to host a Super.  Even with supreme confidence, they'd have to assume they'd be playing at the other regional-winner's place.
