I'm having my ileostomy* bag (do not fucking google it) removed from my very successful (so far) cancer battle. It's a shit bag (or an aggy as it were)

If you didn't enjoy that game then you should probably just quit

Thank you.  It's been 3 months with the bag (never got used to it because it was temporary).   My oncologist did most of the heavy lifting on the cancer fight, I just showed up.  I tried to avoid whin

My ex went to UVA.  My impression from several trips to Charlottesville is anybody who calls them Cavs or Cavaliers didn't actually go to UVA.  It's all Hoos.  

I do prefer the UVA fanbase over the rest of the CWS field but (for personal reasons) a vengeful skullfucking tonight would be quite nice.

The Women's College World Series does this as well.  It's kind of more compelling to me to watch a team flip sides and then work their way through it against the other teams. 

On the other hand, double elimination with the same set of teams is a good compromise between 3-game series and the cruelty of baseball.  Double-elimination in the same bracket does a better job of mitigating the "any given Sunday" nature of a single game and tends to let the best team emerge, not just the luckiest.

Switching brackets undoes that a bit.

I don't view the "Hoo" thing as a patrician affectation.  It's actually an old-school college rah-rah thing.  Like a college fight song or a school handsign.  Those are the things that make college sports GOOD.

I think both of those things can be true, I like that they're the Hoos. It matches UVA and their whole vibe to have a self-consciously goofy secondary nickname that they've kept around while other fanbases have left theirs in the 20s.

Yeah, those (the boolah boolah fight songs, secondary names) are a bit of a relic of times when colleges were more elitist than today, at least Ivies and old schools like UVa.

They're still kind of cool.  More people should wear seersucker suits and straw boaters to football games too.

It's not exactly the same thing, but UVA has its own language for all University stuff:

  • It's not Campus, it's Grounds
  • You're not a freshman, you're a first year.
  • Referring to UVA as "Mr. Jefferson's University" - although that one might be falling out as people are more conflicted about the his legacy.

Everything is generally based on how it was when Thomas Jefferson was founding the university.  They are really big into history.

I'm surprised OU hasn't also stolen the nickname "Hoos."

Even in these times, you’ll find significant numbers of men, young and old, at their football games wearing blue blazers with tan slacks and orange/blue ties.  And … you’ll find most UVA fans, regardless of apparel, are packing flasks and rowdy as any college crowd.

Enough about the ex, who are you rooting for in the game?

Thought about applying there as a safety school until I saw on their site “guys in ties and girls in pearls” referencing their football game days. 
 

The UVA fans are probably the most casually dressed I’ve seen in Omaha though so it doesn’t apply to the baseball crowd

Didn’t realize I was in a Virginia fellatiofest thread. I’ve driven through Virginia. It was a January. It was miserably cold. The state itself sucked, like driving through an entire state’s worth of Katy. Nothing notable whatsoever until you get to DC area.

 Fuck UVA and their lax-bro douche antebellum colonel Sanders wannabe fanbase. Let’s get this W

Fuck UVA and their Johnny-come-lately program.

Fuck their cutesy little nickname and fuck their fans for coming up with it.

Oh right. That is technically possible.

Home team is 

Higher seed in first round and after that

1. Team that has been Home team the fewest time, if the same then - 

2. Team that has been Vistors more time, if the same then - 

3. If they have played in the CWS before then team that was Visitors in that game.  If they haven't played before then - 

4. Coin flip

Yeah, I'm sitting here re-watching the regional win over UCF and he just did it on the very first A/B.  

Someone needs to have a sit down with him over that high school shit.

He was half way down the first base line and you could just see the ump's "Oh no you didn't" body language.  Fucking idiotic.
