Outscore the opponent 28-11 and lose the series.  Congrats, Pig!

Get ready for the SEC to demand a change in criteria for determining series winners. ESPN is working on the statement now.

As someone who lives in the Pig universe, they considered this entire process a coronation.

Zona up 1-0 after 1

[Fletch 5800]

So ole miss apparently has been doing some bull shit “the season!” Deal with espn. Yeah having them and the OmaHogs get eliminated would make me happy 

[WBT 20572]

Ole Miss tied it in the top of the 3rd

[VirginiaLonghorn 4771]

Sometimes I wish aggy was actually good enough to feel the pain of having your heart ripped out like what just happened to the pigs. I understand the aggy roller coaster but even they, in their little delusional minds, know they aren’t really doing anything special. Arkansas on the other hand was all that. And they won the regionals 28-11! All while being eliminated. So awesome and on brand for those cousin fucking rubes.

Who are we cheering for tomorrow?  I'm definitely pulling for DBU.  And as much as I'd like SECSECSEC to only get 2 to Omaha, I think ND scares me more, so go State?

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

Yeah, DBU for sure. They ain’t ever did anything to bother me.

[Cajun 11705]

Hey Pigs!

We are laughing!!!

Been telling you guys all season that Arky was nothing special.

What do I win?

Go back to 86 (or was it 87?) when LSU came into Olsen and swept their #1 58-7 team right out of existence.  They felt it then.  Trust me.

That was 1989. A&M was the best team in the country all season, and then they hosted their regional and just demolished everybody by crazy margins, like 20-3 type scores. Then LSU came out the losers bracket and ripped their hearts out. I remember Gustafson sarcastically asking where A&M was when Texas arrived in Omaha a week later.

I said if we ran into them in the CWS they'd piss their pants once they read the letters on our shirts. I didn't think they actually wouldn't make the CWS.

We already have Tennessee in our bracket. If they played Notre Dame it might be 18-17 or something. But it is not Mississippi State couldn't beat us. I don't know.

I guess I would just assume not have too many of those gorilla ball teams in our bracket. But can Mississippi State outscore Notre Dame tomorrow?

I am kind of intrigued by the Vandy-Arizona matchup on the other side of the bracket just because of that super high flying offense against super star pitching staff aspect.

Arkie going to be bitching about Texas road to Omaha.  SEC whining in 3, 2...

How on earth would they bitch about our road? NC State wasn't even seeded and will probably be 2 and out in Omaha. Florida wasn't walking through that door and beating Texas - they couldn't even make it out of Gainesville. We got the regional winner like everyone else and they had a little spunk in game 1 and then in game 2 we took them to the fucking woodshed because we have legit tradition and don't let bullshit Cinderella stories happen on our turf.

1989 that shit very much happened to them. It was the summer between 4th and 5th grade. The leader of my cub scout group was one of those Uber Aggies who named his kid Bryan Kyle. Anyways it was pretty GD funny going over to their house after LSU dismantled them. He never was quite that vociferous afterwards.

I'm not too surprised that NCState advanced, something to be said about playing good ball this time a year and the other team riding a pitcher a little too much. 

 

[orangecat92 306]

"Where are the Aggies now?" was Gus at the end of our regional in Austin, after Aggy had lost to LSU 2 games in a row in Bryan.  He said later he was so damn tired it just came out of his mouth.  Old-timers can tell stories, evidently Coach Gus was a worrier and a non-sleeper this time of year.  He would stay up late going through all of the possible scenarios pitching matchups etc.

Still one of the greatest lines ever about a rival.

Root for Miss State to take out Domers or Notre Dame to further extend SEC slide?   Hhhmmmmm.... Quite the dilemma.

[Guest Lobo]

The ACC could end up with 50% more teams in Omaha than the SEC.

I can't recall ever having rooted for ND in anything. But I will today. New traditions!

I think I'd rather face the Domers as Bednar would be a much tougher matchup than Kohlhepp.

that aggy team was ridiculous -58 wins and only 7 losses (two to LSU in the regional).

they then went on to coast in the SWC tournament beating us twice (and one of those badly along with a blowout of Houston).

then the regional happened: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_NCAA_Division_I_Baseball_Tournament

I mean there's no explanation other than aggy choked. 

[Js1 85336]

Aggy gonna aggy is the real explanation.

Exactly, all that Wichita team had was Darren Driefert. Highly doubt they could have beaten us 2 in a row.   Dressendorfer was nails all year.

 

For the youngs on the board (and dcar00 correct me if im wrong), we were undefeated all week.  WSU had a loss, but the NCAA changed the format to a winner take all to accomodate CBS.  Today, the series finale is a best of 3 regardless.  But back then, after it was all said and done, you had a one game finale despite us not having.  Of course Dreifert (sp), was all world and we lost a close one.  KD (our ace)likely comes back for the next game if we were in today's format and we have another title on the wall.

[Dewey 3286]

In the past years, because we had not lost a game, WSU would have needed to beat us twice. Because of the ncaa and I guess CBS, winner take all. That's how I remember it being and I remember having a bad feeling going in, because of all that shit.

'Twas glorious.

 

Also reminds me of how much I miss those 6-team regionals.  They were so much fun.

Overall I like the symmetry of the current format with a 4-team double-elimination tournament in the regional, followed by a best of 3, followed by another 4-team double elimination tournament on your half of the CWS, followed by a final best of 3 series.

But having 6 different fan bases in town mixing it up and the longer regional format, was pretty awesome.

Agree 100%.  Those six-team Regionals were brutal on pitching staffs, but so much fun.
