I love college baseball. I'll hit the Austin regional for at least one game, if the weather holds out. Rain is predicted all weekend so we'll see.

Big Ten seemed a dip down from where they had recently been, granted the last couple years was stronger than they have ever(?) been
-
the Big Ten gets no respect, but that's their fault
the Commish certainly didn't help with no non-con games and no tournament
hopefully, King Barry can talk some sense into him
-

Yeah I'd say the B1G has been above its expected norm in recent years and this could be seen as somewhat of a regression to the mean, BUT...

This probably has some truth. It's a weird year anyway, but these choices probably didn't help the B1G with respect to positioning against the other conferences.
-
No preseason tournaments (particularly considering they were simply playing Big Ten games down south, so its not like they weren't travelling) certainly hurt.
The no midweek games I think is fine. Those Tuesday games against MAC teams seemed to do more harm than good. MSU's record in those games cost them a tournament bid one year when they won the Big Ten regular season title, lost to I think Illinois in the tournament, but had several losses to directional Michigan.

Ha, I thought the same thing. Barry might do some great things, but emphasizing baseball ain't one of them.

perhaps emphasizing sports and competition with other conferences regarding sports

I haven't noticed anything at all. If not for this thread, I wouldn't even know this silly tournament was going on.

I don't have to ignore anything. UW hasn't had a baseball team since the Emperor stepped foot on campus.

As a child that played baseball in WI, it was excruciating to get a season in, hence many schools played it as a summer sport while others tried like hell in spring. There's a reason there's been a grand total of one kid picked in the 1st round of the MLB draft from the state of WI. Jarred Kelenic, just 3 years ago, now on Mariners thanks to Mets stupidity.
I get why UW bailed out, but that doesn't mean Barry should be pissing on it.

It's too expensive and there is no revenue attached.

I really like the symmetry of the college baseball tournament in its current format. It starts with a 4-team double-elimination tournament at the regional, then moves on to a 2-team best-of-three series in the super-regional. If you win that, you go back to a 4-team double-elimination tournament in your half of the CWS bracket, and then the entire thing is capped of by another 2-team best-of-three series to determine the ultimate national champ.
That said, there's nothing as great as the old 6-team regionals that we had before the field expanded from 48 to 64. I can recall several regionals in Austin in the late 80s and throughout the 90s and they were just a week-long party of fans from all kinds of different teams from all over the region. It was really great.
-
So what are the various scenarios by which the Wolverines can be eliminated in their Regional?
Obviously if they barf up the UConn game right out of the gate, and then suffer one of those directional Michigan losses that ELA boldly predicted, but that's too easy.
Someone needs to step up and take on the Medina role here. :098:
-
Arkansas is no joke.
-
B1G teams suck at baseball because, like football bowls, all of the regionals and super-regionals are held in the south and west. It's not fair! :smiley_confused1:
-
B1G sucks at baseball, because baseball starts when there is still snow on the ground.

I get it. Texas is really just a Swimming and Diving school. So... yeah...
and rowing

Yup, and tennis.

In the 2019 Conference RPI the Big Ten ranked 7th out of 31 Conferences.
That puts them ahead of quite a few southern conferences.

Exactly. Same reason B1G sucks at golf, because the schools that field great golf teams are the ones where weather allows you to play year-round.

MSU might be better at golf than any other non-revenue sport. I think the women have made the NCAA tournament like 10 consecutive years, and advanced to the finals a number of those times. The men haven't been quite as good recently, but nearly won a national title one year when I was there. I think they finished #5 nationally.
Golf and men's soccer (which has been to 4 Elite 8s, including a Final 4 in the past 6-7 years) have been basically it. They've sucked at everything else. They had a couple decent volleyball teams, but largely bad; terrible at track, swimming and diving, field hockey, softball, etc...

Purdue actually won a NC in women's golf recently.
I'm not saying it's impossible to be good... Especially in golf which [like basketball] is a pretty small team so a couple of great players can turn the tide.
There's a lot more that teams can do now in the world of indoor launch monitors and the like so that teams can still practice during the off-season.
But any college in a place with winter has much more of an uphill battle than someplace where the courses are playable year-round.
It's not impossible, just much harder.

It is a good thing that Jack Nicklaus attended a southern school. Otherwise he might not hold the majors record.

I'm all for celebrating, but he nearly took out his teammates with his bat and his helmet

N v Ark Saturday. Neither team was particularly sharp Friday.

That was surprising. Internet rumors that LSU is currently making a run at your coach and he is distracted. I believe that about as much as I believe any other internet rumor...
-
I made it for about half of the Texas game yesterday afternoon, it was great to be at the ballpark with full attendance allowed. Horns looked pretty good, but against a woefully overmatched opponent. Tonight's game against ASU is gonna be a tough one and could certainly go either way.

I've heard very much that LSU is making a run at their coach. I don't know if that means he's distracted, because frankly, it's baseball.
I know the last time another big program made a run at their coach, he kept putting it off until they lost in the tournament. They they won the whole thing.

I once talked to a mid-major college baseball coach in the midwest. He said the south is basically playing a different sport.
I also remember watching a women's golfer I knew at UW miss every Thursday-Friday class for like a month.

Oh I believe that LSU is pursuing O'Sullivan. Just don't think it would really have much to do with the outcome of a game.
Baseball's a funny sport. Great teams lose to lesser ones pretty regularly. It's precisely why they usually play a series against an opponent rather than a single game. Tournaments are obviously different.

Arizona St won coming from behind in late innings
not good for the Horns

We're DOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEDDDDDDD. :)
ASU has proven to have very good offense all season long. That' worry enough for our team. Here's hoping the Horns' bats are alive tonight. I'll probably go to the game if the weather is alright.

Hi.
ASU baseball fans are in a weird spot. By and large the vast majority of us want our coach Tracy Smith gone, rightfully so, and have for years now. Unfortunately our AD, who is otherwise a solid AD, seems enamored with him for some reason. So on one hand we always want ASU to win every single game, because of course. On the other hand, we're not exactly displeased with results that hopefully convince out AD that Smith needs to go. Maybe failing to make yet another Super Regional will help.

Well that's exactly what happened, the Wolverines bow out after those two games.
Also bowing out after two games was Florida, from the big bad SEC. :098:

Florida was the 7 seed in the SEC tournament, and we hosted a regional. So don't worry, Omaha will have plenty of SEC exposure.

Nebraska survived that most ridiculous sequence early handing out two runs without the use of an Arkansas bat. The rubber match will decide it Monday.

I turned it off and went to bed after they pulled the starter. Too many mistakes and errors and blunders. Apparently they play better when I'm not watching
glad I could help

Fayetteville, Ark. – Kyle Perry and Spencer Schwellenbach limited No. 1 Arkansas to four hits, as No. 19 Nebraska rallied back to force a decisive game seven in the Fayetteville Regional with a 5-3 win Sunday night.
The Huskers (34-13) trailed 3-2 after four frames, but used a three-run fifth inning and Schwellenbach slammed the door with a career-best 4.2 shutout innings to silence a Baum-Walker Stadium crowd of 11,084. The Big Ten Player of the Year, who also had an RBI single, fanned four and allowed just one hit - lowering his season ERA to 0.57.
The Huskers will look to become the fourth team to knock off the No. 1 overall seed in regional play since the NCAA Tournament went to 64 teams in 1999. Monday's first pitch between the Huskers and Razorbacks (48-11) is set for 6 p.m. (CT). Of the previous three teams to eliminate the No. 1 national seed in regionals, two have been from the Big Ten (Michigan, 2007 and Maryland, 2015).

GO BIG RED!!!

Yep I'll be pulling for the bug eaters

Lots more weather delays today. USF/USA, Miss State, Ole Miss, all either experienced, or are currently experiencing, delays.

MSU punches its ticket, they'll play the domers in Stark-Vegas.

well, it was fun for 8 innings
made those hogs nervous

yup, they brought in some hot shot pitcher and shut down the offense

That was a fun game to watch, Huskers held it close until the very end. Condolences to Fearless.
-
was a good season, not mad
-
Very much how my kids club vball tournaments end. You play enough games and eventually the better team finds a way, or the less than superb team does something un-superb.
-
Nebraska certainly cemented their status as the class of the conference this year. And I'm not really sure there was even a close second
-
Meanwhile, great back and forth in Eugene, where btw it seems like LSU has more fans at this game than Duck supporters. Certainly more vocal.
-
LSU travels really well. We used to do home-and-home series with them pretty regularly and their fans always showed up en masse here in Austin. Lots of fun to hang out and tailgate with, too.
-
LSU travels well to Omaha, even when their team doesn't make it

Yup, I've got some Longhorn friends in Austin that do the same, and they have a group of LSU fans that they meet up with every year up there, regardless of whether or not either team is actually in the CWS. Those are the same LSU folks that we always tailgate with when they come to play us in Austin, great folks.

Yes, I befriended several LSU fans many years ago. I Miss Rosenblatt.

I'm really quite surprised that neither UF nor Miami made it out of the Gainesville regional. But college baseball is always full of surprises.
I'm obviously hoping USF's Cinderella story ends abruptly in Austin this weekend, but ya never know.

And hired away Detroit's hitting coach (Jose Cruz Jr.) who played there.
They were discussing how the Pac 12 schools, namely USC, have kind of fallen off from their peak in recent years. The Oregon schools took a big step forward, but have sort of seemingly plateaued again. ASU and Stanford haven't been national title contenders in like a decade, until Stanford seemed to get back on track with this new hire. USC has completely fallen off the face of the earth.
Any reason?

College baseball is certainly not a widely popular sport among the general population of sports fans in America. But I care about it, it's my second favorite of all sports.
And if you don't care about it, why did you bother creating this thread?

-
Texas will open with either ND or Miss St at the CWS
Right now Miss St has a 6 run lead over the Irish in the bottom of the 6th
-
I'll be rooting for the Horns in that game
rooting for Miss st tonight, my brother was a prof in Starkville back when Jackie Sherrill was there
-
I was pulling for MSU. I find it quite difficult to root for ND under any circumstances, I've found. :)
Should be a fun game to start off UT's portion of the CWS. MSU beat Texas pretty handily in the first game of the season, hopefully Texas can show better this time.

On Wednesday morning the College Baseball Foundation named Nebraska's Spencer Schwellenbach as the 2021 recipient of the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award.
The award was started in 2010 and Schwellenbach is the first Husker to be honored with the trophy. Former Husker Jake Meyers was a finalist for the award in 2017, but lost to three-time winner Brendan McKay from Louisville.
The award is named for the former Washington State standout who achieved success both as a first baseman and left-handed pitcher during the late 1980s and who was inducted into the National College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007. The award will be presented by the College Baseball Foundation during the virtual Night of Champions event on June 26.

Apparently there were rumors of a beer shortage at the CWS in Omaha?
But not to worry, city officials say there's plenty of local brewers that should be able to make up for any decrease in shipments from the big guys.
I'd count that as a win for everyone!

Beer shortage = shortage of beer they can sell

They could, you know, let people bring in their own. But then they couldn't sell it for triple.

Indeed. One of the ways a venue makes money, is by selling concessions.
People have the choice, not to purchase any concessions at all. They're not mandatory you know.

Where Marlins Man is 100% douche canoe, Vandy Whistler at least radiates the full character arc of when a Grateful Dead roady takes up a new platform by which to project his obnoxiousness - college baseball.

Yeah, Marlins man is just a rich dude who is making it about himself. At least Vandy dude has a horse in the race. Purdue basketball had a player mom who would constantly scream like a decade ago. It was brutal
-
Don't know Marlins man but I'll take your word for it.
In other news, Bednar really put on a clinic against Texas last night. That guy was unbelievable. Playing out of the loser's bracket is a really tough hill to climb, but there's nothing to help it now.

He wears a bright orange Marlins jersey and just tries to get on tv. He'll be courtside at an NBA playoff game in NYC one night, then sitting right behind the plate at the FOX baseball game the next night in Houston
-
If all he's doing is being visible, and not making noise, then I'll have to disagree. The whistling of the Vandy Whistler is so obnoxiously over the top, it renders any game involving their team completely unwatchable.

Today's game between NCSU and Vanderbilt has been postponed indefinitely as a result of multiple players on NCSU's team undergoing COVID protocols.
This could end up really messy.
-
OK looks like it will be played. 1 NCSU player already sent home, several more in COVID protocols.
Sounds like the Wolfpack are playing with a roster of 13, including only 4 pitchers.

could have just rolled up the sleeve

Yup. The implication here is that a full half of the NCSU team wasn't vaccinated. That's... surprising.

I am amazed at this
I hope the Horn football players are getting vaccinated

3rd base ump needs glasses

Jon Rahm (golf) perhaps misses a big paycheck
Chris Paul misses NBA playoff games
because they don't want to roll up a sleeve
dumbasses

Can't believe NC-State is hanging in there, and their pitcher-turned-1st-baseman is now 2 for 2 against Vandy's ace pitcher Rocker.
Exciting stuff in Omaha.

He was 3-for-3 until he finally struck out.
So now their current 1st baseman who will be their starting pitcher tomorrow, is batting .750 for the season.
-
Almost a 3-hour rain delay so that's games ending at 1 AM and 2 AM the past 2 nights in a row, but anyway, Horns will face Miss State one more time in a winner-take-all to see who plays Vandy in the championship series.
Hook 'em!

good game
watched the whole thing
my brother is a traitor, professor at UT and MSU, rooted for the Dawgs
-
now watching "Tiebreaker" on BTN
good stuff, I was a tOSU/Woody fan when I was 11 years old
I remember it was a big deal at the time and my team got the nod

SEC vs SEC in the CWS Final.
Just like it'll be in a 12-team football playoff more times than not.

Well...
So weird about the COVID protocols.
Why did vaccinated players who played on Friday, not get allowed to play on Saturday? Why are they testing vaccinated players anyway?
Why are they NOT testing everyone, since they found vaccinated players that tested positive on NCSU? Why not test Vandy at that point since they clearly came in contact with NCSU while some of those players were positive?
And why didn't NCSU just get everyone vaccinated so they could enjoy the silly loophole of "If everyone's vaccinated then we'll stick our fingers in our ears and yell "blah blah blah" and ignore your team and not test at all, even though we've already proven you can test positive ]after being vaccinated."
They're going to have to fix those protocols before football season. I suspect the power programs are going to push for zero testing. And they're probably right to do so.
-
Anyway congrats to MSU, good luck to them against Vandy. Both are excellent teams.

just roll up your sleeve
would solve 99% of this

Technically, sure.
But what's the point?
Why are the already-vaccinated players at NCSU getting tested, while the already-vaccinated players at Vandy or Texas or MSU not getting tested?
Why are the scores of thousands of fans in the stadium, who are unmasked and not socially distancing and have unknown vaccination status, not being tested?
It's a silly protocol that has nothing to do with safety or health. So why does it exist?
I'll make a bold prediction that the most powerful football schools aren't going to put up with it, and will make moves to ensure zero testing is the protocol come football season.
-
agreed with the prediction
be many more Nebraskans vaccinated if they needed to be to get into the stadium this fall
-
Go Dawgs
-
Surprised Mississippi State was one of just 3 Power Five schools to never win a team title. Would have guessed everyone had at least one. But it actually leaves Virginia Tech and Kansas State

Good for them. They earned it, that was a darn fine beisbol team.

Miss State's results in the SEC tournament (0-2)
L, 13-1 to 6 Florida
L, 12-2 to 2 Tennessee

I guess that didn't matter.

Obviously it didn't matter.
The conference tournaments are superfluous.
Augie never intentionally threw a game but he placed almost zero importance on the results of the conference tournament. He was 100% fine with exiting early and resting his pitching staff for the tournament that actually matters.
