  1. You may realize this, but the photo you quoted is not from yesterday's game. Yesterday's was much less egregious. Still the right call by the book, but when the runners lane doesn't take you straight to the base, its worth looking into remedies going forward.
  2. Again, the days of the week changed, but not the days rest. In years past, teams either had one or two days off before the championship series began (depending on whether you lost a game or were unblemished). Same as this year. Yeah. Its happened many times (having to throw a guy on 3 days rest in the final game of the season). Had Texas beat MSU a second time last year, Stevens would've absolutely pitched again in the championship series had it gone 3 games.
  3. Yeah, they shortened bracket really only hurt the teams in bracket 2. Bracket 1 had basically the same schedule as always. In bracket 2, Arkansas & Auburn did not get a day of rest after losing and winning on Monday, whereas TAM and ND had day of rest after winning and losing on Sunday. All four then played on Tuesday, rather than separate days. Arkansas ended up playing four days in a row Mon-Thurs (not the cause of losing on Thursday as pitching was great). But, at this point, it's no different than years past. For example, Texas won on Friday last year and forced MSU to play on Saturday, and the championship series began on Monday. MSU had to use Will Bednar to beat Texas that Saturday, then he wasn't able to pitch again until Wednesday on 3 days rest.
  4. Ole Miss was a 3 seed.
  5. Avatar checks out...
  6. Probably more to it but think they dropped it due to Title IX. Chose soccer over baseball, I believe. If DBU can be good, SMU could’ve been good.
  7. Good plan. Hotels much easier to get when two teams left. That said, the one difference from the past is I believe this year the championship series is Sat-Sun-Mon instead of Mon-Tues-Wed. I would expect that to make the championship series much more attractive to anyone interested in attending.
  8. Again, I’m planning to go to all four games so I have nothing to lose by buying tickets now if a certain team doesn’t win. But I jumped on tickets for the 6:00 Sunday (Sec 104 for $50) and Monday (Sec 110 for $125) games when I saw attractive prices. I plan on waiting on the losers 1:00 games. I expect those to decrease.
  9. I'm going to the Sunday-Monday games. Planning to go to all 4 games. Playing the CWS ticket game is always interesting. Will they go up or go down? The Sunday/Monday tickets are lower than Friday/Saturday. Probably a combination between it not being the weekend plus the matchups unknown. Considering that UT is a favorite to win game 1, I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the Sunday night 6:00pm game now. Given the opponent will be either TAM or OU, it would be a hot ticket.

  12. Was there. It was actually Matchbox 20 opening for DMB opening for Pumpkins opening for Stones. IMO, Pumpkins were ridiculously bad and I love them. Can listen here https://archive.org/details/tsp1997-11-01.flac16/tsp1997-11-01t01.flac As I remember Dave saying, "we're all just breakfast for Stones tonight." As far as 9 song DMB setlists go, it was a solid one. Two Step, Tripping Billies, #41, All along the Watchtower, Crash into Me, So Much to Say, Anyone See the Bridge, Too Much, Ants Marching.
  13. They can't keep doing this.
  14. As much as I hate TAM, I don't really blame him. As long as the selection committee uses a system that rewards them fo not playing a game, they are justified to do it. Hopefully they paid them off. It sucks because schools try and throw a bone to the smaller schools in their state. And why not? You get to play younger kids and its a big deal for the little schools. But you get so punished by playing teams ranked super low in the RPI. In my mind, if you play the #1 team in the country and the #350 and go 2-0, that's way more impressive than going 2-0 vs. the #100 team. But that's not how RPI works.

  16. Not going to lie, I would've freaked out had that happened to me. How does that happen? Can you airdrop to anyone?
  17. Season 1 was great. Season 2 lost me (and I thought everyone else). Season 3 looked confusing as fuck. Is this still a big hit? Production of this show has to be expensive. Did I miss out by not watching season 3?
