Yesterday was rough. Wake up at 4:00 am, going strong all day, came home and cooked dinner for the kids, mowed, got tipsy, last thing I remember we were up in the 7th inning and then I wake up to Dari interviewing our players, post game.
Same here. I won’t soon forget the sound that ball made caroming off his elbow. The chirping from the Bama dugout was classless and was why CFA was so incensed. Coach DVH at Ark was referring to Bama when he made those comments earlier this season that folks incorrectly assumed were directed at TN. I despise Bama.
Omaha is a true double elimination format. I think your understanding is off or someone went too liberal with their analogy describing it to you. The SEC format is a modified double elimination format in the middle of what is otherwise a single elimination tournament. It is because of time. You get the benefit of less games if you win early. I think it helps get the best teams in the semi finals and finals.
Coming from the losers bracket is an OK format. The idea is that the best teams get to the end. Last we lost early and won the loser side. We were a top team that had a bad game. That is the desired outcome of the format. That verses getting UK or Alabama in the final games just because they beat a top team once. If they do it multiple times then you tip your cap and move on. They are playing better baseball and earned it.
