Omaha next, if they do? 8 teams go?

Yep, a win tomorrow punches the ticket.

Gotta admit, I'm not the biggest fan of baseball but I am enjoying watching the Vols play. Exciting group.

Unfortunately, I missed UT's game today. I got home from work and flipped on the TV just in time to see the last 3 pitches of the UNC/West Virginia game. UNC hit a walk-off 2-run homer in the bottom of the 9th to take it.

The thing about baseball is that anybody can drop a series to anybody at any time. From what I've seen though, there is a sizable gap between UT and everybody else in the nation.

Those 4 plus Virginia, Georgia, Texas A&M and Clemson would be my bet. 4 SEC and 4 ACC.

If we make it to championship, predictions on opponent?

If we make it to championship, predictions on opponent?

No clue. I just hope we make it there. We have the ability to beat anybody, so I'm not really worried about who our opponent might be.

IMO Clemson

Interesting. They would actually be one of my last picks of those 8 teams to make it there. I think UNC, Florida State, and Texas A&M are bigger threats to make it there.

We couldn't face UNC or FSU in the final. A&M we could

A&M is who I predict

How do you know that without even seeing which teams make it to the CWS yet? Don't they re-seed based on the 8 teams that make it? In other words, if Oregon State beat Kentucky in the Super Regionals, they don't grab Kentucky's #2 overall seeding spot in the CWS do they?

Bc it's a bracket tournament

You are correct. Thanks for the info. I guess I'll wait to predict until that happens

Unless they've changed the way the CWS works, there is also the issue of the loser's bracket. Anybody can lose their first game (to UT for example), but then win their way into the finals by then going undefeated through the losers' bracket.

I thought you were single. Whose wife is dropping by?

I'm not strangely enough. I'm rolling with a tall, blonde jeweler.

You're married, or you're just a kept man?

We're a kept couplet.
