Greenville Super Regional: Texas @ East Carolina

[BrazilHorn 6,586]

Seeing their fans in that pony league OF throwing all kinds of shit on the Texas players was enough for me. 
Fuck ECU. I’m glad team ripped their heart of Saturday night and then shit sll over them yesterday. 

[Gut Wagon 8,065]

Those hack announcers might not have wanted ECU to lose, but having the nation's most dominant player for a perennial contender with a massive fan base get to Omaha didn't exactly upset the bean counters.

Like taking a big, stupid dog into a 5 star restaurant. It has no idea how it is supposed to behave. The best is the "I can't wait until Nick Savior and Bammer kick the Longhorn football teams' asses. That'll teach 'em something about how they made our baseball tema look stupid. That is really sub-aggie logic,which is really hard to do. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5,120]

I'm sorry but ECwho?  Losers cry about how they did their best, winners go home and fuck the prom queen.

[ClubWhatever 12,120]

Most of the teams that club faced during the year were lower tier.  They got by for a game on pure fan jet fuel, but eventually the difference in the level of competition got them.  It’s ok to be a club like ECU and not make it out of your own super regional.  Not really any shame in that.

Those were just about the shittiest announcers I’ve ever heard last night. 
 

I am embarrassed for them.  What absolute biased amateurs.

Not sure which was my favorite, them calling for "obstruction" because our runner was trying to avoid a tag and the 3B airmailed his throw, or the multiple times last night where they said "They've kept Melendez in check all game" despite the fact that he hit a 3 run bomb in the 1st. 

[Wishbone 4,759]

Pretty sure Omaha is happy about the Texas win. They have gotten used to the revenue stream that comes with Texas coming in.

yeah, in reality Melendez beat them all by himself.  of course announcers that can't remember the current score aren't going to remember a 3 run bomb in the first after a 5 hour rain delay.

Aggy tries to avoid playing Texas as much as they can. Playing us in Omaha scared them to death.

Mess with the bull, you get the HORNS !!!  #hornsgoup 🤘🤘🤣

Horrible fucking parenting if you want to raise a good sports fan; don’t mind the horns down  at all, but don’t count your fucking chickens against the big boys.

The whole line up is pretty hot from top to bottom. If Silas starts heating up we will be gold.

But hard to sustain that through the whole CWS, as the 2004 team found out.

My favorite was when they confidently said "if you are wondering why that HR didn't end the game it is because ECU is the away team in game two" after their homer to TIE the game in the top of the 9th.

I mean, you ran into the most successful program in history, with a veteran roster of guys who almost made the championship series last year, including the best hitter in the country.  I don't think we need to invoke Zeus or Thor to figure out why y'all lost.

The problem is that you were so convinced you were gonna win.  But we're the arrogant Longhorns, right?  I love irony.  Now piss off.

Uhhh . . . we don't have to beat ND to get a shot at one of the two teams in the OU/A&M matchup.  Watch much CWS in your life?

[Valmy77 13,225]

Yeah we play one if we lose. Is it entitled to think we might lose? There is just no pleasing some people.

Yep.  Melendez, with his HR in the first, scoring 3 runs, actually means the game was over after the first inning (3-1)….so, why did we spend another 9 hrs there, when we could have flown home, had a great meal, and been in bed by 10:00?,

[utee94 15,805]

Can it really be called "entitlement" if you truly are just better and more deserving??

 

[Valmy77 13,225]

I do think going there 38 times entitles our program to some level of respect. But I feel like that's earned.

[Deej 76,752]

aggy talking about anyone being entitled is the most ridiculous thing ever. A school that has barely accomplished anything athletically, yet thinks they are some sort of blue blood and should be respected as such...fucking idiots.

[Dewey 3,286]

Should be used to the hate, the one thing that did bother me was their fans thought every pitch they threw should have been a strike. Ricky Vaughn level "just a bit outside" and they'd chirp at blue. Not even in the same zip code as homeplate and they were booing.  Anyways, fuck em, onto the next round of haters.

Well in their defense, about half of them got called strikes.

They did not strike me as particularly knowledgeable fans.

I'm proud of those ECU guys. They're comfortable in admitting on national television that they married their cousins or sisters.

more lame- ECU doing Horns down while losing to Texas, or aggie doing Horns down while playing against Louisville?

Wouldn't be surprised if aggy throws the game against Oklahoma to avoid playing us. 

[Surly Bevo 24,908]

You know fuck the haters a bit.

Were ECUs fans a lot of rabble, often overly emotional about calls and in many instances just a drunken mob at a baseball game….yea sure.

BUT BUT I would much rather see that type of environment than the mausoleums that I saw out in Palo Alto and Corvallis.

Baseball is dying a slow death as a sport that captures the imagination of this country so regardless of their intentions, their overall baseball IQ etc it’s good to see some fun and passion going on in a fanbase that doesn’t have some big conference or a long history of high level success to boast about.

So fuck those wine and cheese Pac 12 bitches and party on Pirates.

I think sports in general are kind of doing this. There is a lot of things to entertain and demand your attention these days. 

Though I was pleasantly surprised how many boys at my son's 5th grade graduation listed their dream job as a major league baseball player. So at least some kids still love the game.

I didn't think the Corvallis crowd was bad at all, they packed that place. They just looked cold in their coats and fleeces.

But to your main point yeah I was impressed by the ECU crowd showing up both during the first two games but especially with that huge rain delay in Game 3 down 4-0 and a large number stayed until the final out at like 2 AM eastern time. Again I suspect ESPN did them a disservice by focusing the camera on the trashiest douchebags. Have some class and just show hot women ESPN.

After all that hype this board did about the supposed smoke show of that part of the South, instead all we got was homeless methheads and a parade of douches. Definitely disappointing.

Agree all around. Palo Alto is pretty much always like that, it's already hard for private schools and them and Duke are never really able to get the local area excited like Vanderbilt (just for baseball) and USC can. Probably because they're pretty physically and emotionally walled-off from their cities.
