Speaking of things that suck. We led the entire game. Up 4 to 1 at the bottom of the 9th and they scored 4.

At least they didn't tie and go a bunch more innings, they just scored 4 in the 9th.

Ouch. Thanks, I'd forgotten all about it.

Go:

Louisville > Vanderbilt.

Michigan > Texas Tech.

Auburn > MISSST.

Arkansas > Florida State.

Go Michigan to win it all.
Go Louisville 2nd choice.

Go (EDT):

Monday, June 17
Texas Tech vs. Arkansas, 2 p.m., ESPN, great that one gets knocked out

You can go ahead and say your bye byes to Louisville.

Can't believe you don't have a preference in the Vandy game.

Pretty cocky for a fan of a 38-27, unranked team that's playing a 43-15, #11 team.

Can't believe you don't have a preference in the Vandy game.

Why?

Let's see:
South vs South
TN vs MS
SEC vs SEC
Both cities have Dem mayors

Otoh:
Vanderbilt is a private university.
Nashville is the center for country music.
Starkville aspires to real art.

Okay, go Mississippi State! Thanks. You?

Bonus for neoplacebo: Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn is a Mississippi State grad.

so the Starkville (as the name implies) cow college in the heart of good ol boy mississippi beats the urban beauty of a prestigious med school in the Athens of the South

Elitist snob.

Elitist snob.

How about - while Vandy did take 80 years to admit first African American, it was still a decade later for Miss.

Oh, and Dad went there - among many other places.

... prestigious med school ...

I'm an RN, not really a selling point.

Hey, YOU made me pick. I was content in my apathy.

How about - while Vandy did take 80 years to admit first African American,

My choice might have been different 50 years ago. Which has a higher proportion now?

it was still a decade later for Miss.

Mississippi State.

Why did schools keep kicking him out?

Auburn up 7 to 5
Top of 9th
Auburn at bat with 1 out and bases loaded

What could go wrong

Louisville up 2 to 1
Top of 4th
Louisville at bat with 1 out and bases loaded, run just walked in

What could go wrong?

Edit: A fielding and a throwing error by the same player on the same play, 4-1, bottom of 4th.

Edit #2: Rain delay, top of 5th, Auburn may set a record for longest time spent losing a game.

OMAHA, Neb. — Tuesday afternoon's game at the 2019 College World Series in Omaha is currently in a rain delay and will restart at 10 p.m. ET. Louisville leads Auburn 4-1 when play stopped after the fourth inning. Vanderbilt-Mississippi State will be moved to Wednesday afternoon as a result....

Or not, now noon ET today.

Yeah, the 4th truly sucked. Auburn looked bad in just about every way, on both sides of the ball.

And our pitcher may have been hurt on the 2 error play.

Whoa, Louisville sure dodged an ugly looking bullet in the 8th.

Auburn fought to the end, congrats for that. 7 CWS games, none decided by more than 2 runs.

Coulda been worse:

Parents brawl during youth baseball game after disagreeing with 13-year-old umpire

A baseball game between a group of 7-year-old kids degenerated into an all-out brawl with parents throwing haymakers, others cowering for cover and a woman even jumping on someone's back.

The reason for the brawl: a parent didn't like the calls being made by a 13-year-old umpire....

Coulda been worse: either way. We had 13 hits to their 7, but that's baseball.

"Police are looking for an adult in a white T-shirt and teal shorts in particular because he can be seen in the video throwing sucker punches at people looking in the other direction."

Right after he throws the sucker punches, a woman punches him and he tucks tail and runs

To be fair, that's his wife.

The videographer's prayer is sure doing a lot of good.

"Police are looking for an adult"
I didn't see any, did you?

Congrats to you and the memory, I assume, of your nefarious Dad.

Speaking of things that suck. We led the entire game. Up 4 to 1 at the bottom of the 9th and they scored 4.

At least they didn't tie and go a bunch more innings, they just scored 4 in the 9th.

Louisville did the same thing to Mississippi St, was down 3-0, scored 2 in the 8th, tied it in the 9th, walkoff BH in the 9th, 4-3. Mississippi St was 47-0 when leading after 8, ouch.

Go Michigan then Louisville.

Friday, June 21, Michigan (0 losses) vs. Texas Tech St (1 loss) 2 p.m. ESPN
Friday, June 21, Vanderbilt (0 losses) vs. Louisville (1 loss) 7 p.m. ESPN

If needed:
Saturday, June 22, Michigan vs. Texas Tech 2 p.m. ESPN
Saturday, June 22 , Vanderbilt vs. Louisville 7 p.m. ESPN

Texas Tech 3-15 < Michigan.

Wow, so much or that 10 game run decided by 4 runs or less. 1 or 2 (Louisville), or 1, 2 or 3 (Vanderbilt) games to go.

[Vrede too]

Oooh close. Go Michigan > Vanderbilt.
