Florida eliminated.  Arkansas into the final.  Oregon St still alive.

Yeah, I was a bit surprised to see Singer back out there.  Arkansas is playing some really great baseball right now, the Gators just couldn't quite put it together.  Still a great season though.

Oregon State finally found a groove, so that bracket final is going to have some drama I think.

Mississippi St eliminated.

Oregon St vs Arkansas in a best-of-3 CWS final.
The Razorbacks were the #4 seed in the SEC tournament.  Miss State was #9, lol.

Turns out college beisbol can be even less predictable than college football.

I was right about that OSU-MSU game having drama, although it didn't really materialize until the bottom of the 9th.  That was exciting.

I think the final series will be pretty great, both are complete teams and as always a lot will depend on how well the starting pitching rotation sets up.  Arkansas will definitely have an advantage there.  But I won't count out the Beavs just yet.

Well they just signed the HS OF for double his slot value to keep him from going to San Diego, so the money has to come from somewhere.
My guess is Clemens doesn't get 3rd round money, but gets more than 6th/7th round money, and the Tigers reached to take a kid in the 3rd, they wanted in the 5th, still saved enough money to sign the high school kid, and all parties make out.
To pull that off you have to find a kid you already have rated above consensus, and then take him even higher than you want him.  Seems like that's what they did with Clemens.  And so far in this tourney the kid ain't disappointing.  I'm excited to have him in the fold.
Signed for about 3/4 of slot value, Mize (#1 overall) signed for slightly under, and allowed them to pay over slot to keep their 2nd round pick from going to college.

For sure, the more rest, the better, for OSU.

I would guess more Nebrakans attending the best of 3 series will be rooting for Van Horn as opposed to the obvious OSU connection with Riley

regardless, it will look like it since Van Horn's crew wears RED

Man, it would seem weird to me, to root for a coach that had left my program.

While I haven't lived in NE since Van Horn was the HC at Nebraska, I never sensed any animus in his departure for Arkansas.  He took the program to heights they had never been, and its not like he left for Texas (or some other XII rival).  That's his home/alma mater.  Nebraska fans are smart enough to recognize why that would make sense, look no further than the gridiron.
