BASEBALL COLLEGE WORLD SERIES THREAD: Texas' special season ends in heartbreak.. (Sat. 11:15 p.m.)

We definitely want Virginia to win so we can face Miss State in one game elimination on Thursday (and not against Bednar.) Take our chances against Virginia twice with Madden going in the first game.

Otherwise we have to beat Miss State twice against their best pitching.
Definitely this.
I want another crack at Miss State - we can dismiss them from the CWS as we have done before!
 
FINAL: Texas stays alive in Omaha with an 8-4 win over Tennessee in an elimination game. All season, Texas has responded. And it did again today. Offense, defense and Witt were fantastic on the big stage.

Texas will play again Thursday against the loser of tonight's Mississippi State and Virginia game.
Let’s go Virginia !
 
simply put, Pierce HAD to have this one. Losing two in 2018 was disappointing but we were not among the top 5-8 teams in nation - at least I don't think so. 2019 was a beating. 2020 was a lost year damn covid. So to enter the CWS in 2021 as the highest remaining national seed and legit threat to win it all...he could NOT go 0-2. Then when you consider the manner in which we lost to MSU...this was HUGE! So happy for him and the team. Certainly we can do more damage, but the cloud is lifted. Onward and upward.
 
david pierce is giving a press conference right now. said he told cam that was the best play he's ever seen (talking about cam starting the double play with bases loaded)

Any idea where I can get a replay of that to send to my dad?

the play I mean, not the PC.

So we need to win five in a row?
4 in a row to get out of the bracket. Then 2 out of 3 in the Championship Series.

Before they went to the 2 4-team bracket format I guess a game 1 loser did have to win 5 in a row to win it all. Now, it is essentially 6 out of 7, but you have to win the first 4.

4 in a row, then 2 out of 3 for the championship.
So the championship resets. Good.

Texas got screwed out of the opportunity many years ago when their first loss was in the championship game. I think to LSU but my brain is old now so I’m not positive.
 
Pierce didn’t commit to Pete Hansen starting Thursday’s game. He acted like it would be him, but said staff still has to talk over and decide who to go with.

i heard Tennessee is embarrassed ha
After watching that clip of the double play and seeing their uniforms, they ought to be. 🤣

I'm at work and pretty damn busy so I decided I would check in some on the thread, but if I tried to watch at work I would regret it later after I failed to get anything done. So, I hadn't seen the little UT unis yet.

Imagine them playing Vanderbilt in the battle of bad uniforms. Maybe its a State of Tennessee thing?

Ya, all that matters is getting to those finals. Everyone will get to be fresh then and it’s just the best of 3
