Got lucky and was able to get tickets for both super regional games against LSU in 21..this past Friday was first time inside LNS since. We have been to Hoover and every away Kentucky series though. I believe the last Kentucky away series that I at least did not attend one game was 2017. If we make it to the championship series in Omaha…we will be there. I will not miss a chance to watch that.

Yeah, I’ve thought about Omaha, but that would be a tough road. My wife would probably plot my demise if I even seriously mention it. Maybe someday when the boys get older and can defend their old man.

Yeah, I was dismayed, gave them hell, and for once, took a moment to complete a customer service. They did give me a credit toward future order beyond the refund, but was a mere pittance.

Not that it would do any good but I would lodge a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Years ago that meant something but I don’t know about today. But if that happened to me, I would go out of the way to do what I could. Call me an old fogey or what but when I am charged at a store more than the posted price, I bring it to the store’s attention. It’s not the money but the principle.

I don’t think I’d miss a chance to watch Vols play for it all in any of the 3 major sports. Been 26 years…even at my age I only have maybe 2 more 26 year stretches in me and that is if I’m lucky.

If we make it to Omaha this year I may seriously consider going. I took a spontaneous trip for the Orange Bowl for the football team. May do the same for our BaseVols. This team just feels special to me. Idk what it is but I just have this feeling they are about to do something extraordinary. They aren’t the 2022 team but they just have that “It Factor” I always feel like they are going to pull out a victory no matter what.

Dumbass Houston fan just robbed Mauricio Dubon of a web gem catch. Wasn’t technically interference, above and behind the line, but def got in the way.

It’s the umpire’s discretion. If they wanted to call it interference then they could have. I hate whenever fans do that crap. On the other hand it is what makes baseball so unique. Not many sports where fans are in the “field of play”.

This is a summary about the teams left standing from the NCAA's D1 Baseball site.
Seven of the top eight national seeds will be there. But so will Evansville, only the ninth No. 4 regional seed to ever survive. Florida State is in its 18th super regional, which is pretty impressive given this format has only been around 25 tournaments. Evansville and West Virginia are in their first. It will be the second ever for Kansas State, Clemson hasn’t been for 14 years, Georgia for 16.

Ten No. 1 seeds won their own regionals, but so did five from the No. 3 spot. The home field provided safety, except when it didn’t. Arizona was quickly bounced out of its own site in two games, the final push a 7-0 blanking by Dallas Baptist. Arkansas was 34-3 at home this season until losing 7-6 to Kansas State and then Southeast Missouri State. UC Santa Barbara was 27-0 at home this season against every team in the world not named Oregon. The Ducks beat the Gauchos twice last weekend, allowing them one run in 18 innings.

Five SEC teams play on. That means six don’t. Among the more surprising demises were Arkansas at home, South Carolina losing to James Madison for the first time in 41 years and Vanderbilt’s pitchers allowing 23 runs in two defeats. LSU’s national title defense ended in Chapel Hill, but it took an epic 10-inning loss to the Tar Heels to do it. The Tigers had the lead in the ninth but couldn’t hold it.

Noteworthy imo
Matter of fact, the past four national champions — LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt — are all gone. But 2018 winner Oregon State will be there this week, as will 2017 champion Florida and 2015 winner Virginia. They represent five of the past 32 Men's College World Series titles. The teams who won the other 27 are nowhere to be found.

I like being the rising power in baseball.

@OldTimer, should the For New/Infrequent Posters – The Rules Thread
be re-posted again? (I mean a new note added so that it shows as new material.) And with a note in the game thread? It was posted then reposted in late-ish May for the past 3 years. I'm not saying that it should be. I'm just asking. I read it several times when I was new.
