Best thing is we don't have to see any obnoxious celebrating, or silly dances, by the Vols.

Well Geaux, ND didn't 10 run the Vols, but they did defeat them and the Irish punched the second ticket to Omaha.
I guess the Vols are not the all time best college baseball team. But they did have a very good season.

A lot of people thought that the Irish was shafted by not getting a regional host.
I was one of them.

They may have been the best team all year, but they weren't the best team today when it counted the most.

The purple and gold uniforms did it for ND.
But they also had good bats and pitching.

Glad TN is out! They would have been an embarrassment to the SEC in Omaha.

Very nice job by the Irish to knock off the Vols. Good heart show. To overcome a tough draw and just win. I thought they might go up in smoke after the beating they took yesterday. But a great effort today.

Didn’t watch any college baseball this year but from what I understand the UT team was about as obnoxious as Vanderbilt. It was their fans more than their team. The behavior of the fan mob that accosted the Notre Dame team after Game 1 should create grounds for the NCAA to investigate whether they should even have a baseball team there. Angry mobs have no place in college sports.

Arkansas and Ole Miss punch their tickets to Omaha. With a win tonight, Auburn could punch their ticket to Omaha.

Four SEC teams headed for Omaha and all four from the West side of the conference. Wow.
Add two teams from the Big 12 - Texas and Oklahoma. Stanford and ND make up the field at the CWS for 2022.
Texas A&M the first team in and Auburn the last team in. Arkansas and Ole Miss make the trip.

Texas A&M the first team in and Auburn the last team in. Arkansas and Ole Miss make the trip. Half the teams are SEC teams. Half of the remaining teams will be SEC teams. Is this just more proof that the NCAA needs the SEC much more than the SEC needs the NCAA???

Baseball is a warm weather sport - ND is the only northern team in the CWS. College baseball starts in February - snow on a lot of baseball fields in the north. So to equal out college baseball - it would have to start in April like MLB.
So as long as college begins in February - west coast and southern teams will dominate, IMO.

Dang if this were 2025 we’d have 6 of 8 SEC school....
ND, OU, and UT are getting hot at the right time...l Stanford is steady.

Ole Miss one of the last four to get into the tourney is pretty hot right now themselves. They were a third seed in the Miami regional and they swept through it like a hot knife through butter. And then shut out Southern Miss twice to advance to Omaha and the CWS. Their pitching was crappy early in the year but lately has been on fire. Darn, I never thought I would be praising Ole Piss, but they are hot right now. But a team has to be hot right now or they would not be heading to Omaha.

CWS opens tomorrow with Oklahoma and Texas A&M in the first game and Notre Dame and Texas in the night game.
Arkansas and Stanford in the first game on Saturday and Ole Miss and Auburn in the second game.
Should be a wide open CWS. Tennessee the team ranked first for most of the year and was a shoo in for the CWS - sits in Knoxville watching the CWS as the rest of us. ND upset them in Knoxville last weekend in a major upset.
Should be a fun one to watch.

TN needed more eye black...just a little more and they probably pull it out against ND.

I sort of like Ole Miss to win it all. ND and Oklahoma and Arkansas also look good.
It will come down to pitching depth.
I am pulling for the Aggies today.

Aggies send Longhorns home with a 10 to 2 win yesterday. Oklahoma defeated ND in the other CWS game yesterday 6 to 2. Aggies and Irish meet tomorrow in a elimination game with the winner to face Oklahoma with the task of having to double dip the Sooners to earn a berth in the finals.
Stanford and Auburn face off today in an elimination game. Arkansas and Ole Miss meet in the winners bracket in the second game today.

Auburn defeats Stanford 6 to 2 to send the Cardinal home. They will play Arkansas in the elimination game after the Hogs fell 13 to 5 to Ole Miss. Ole Miss is looking mighty good right now. Solid pitching and outstanding hitting - a winning combination every time.

Three of the four teams left are SEC west teams. Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Texas A&M with Oklahoma being the outsider, but not for long.
Oklahoma and Ole Miss are in the drivers seat for sure, but that is why the game is played. Things don't always go according schedule.
Ole Miss seems to be the hottest team right now. They are undefeated in NCAA tourney play. There pitching is solid and the hitting outstanding. And the Rebels head coach is a former LSU catcher - Mike Bianco. He played for the Tigers in 1988 and 1989. He was the Tigers' starting catcher and team captain on the 1989 team that finished third at the College World Series.
So I am pulling for the Rebs. The Tiger connection.

Hogs defeat Ole Miss 3 to 2 to force another game tomorrow. Pitching dominated the game tonight. This will give Oklahoma an advantage as they get to rest a day. Should help their pitching.

It brings me total joy that Texas, aTm, Auburn, and hopefully Ole Miss will soon be sitting next to Tenn watching the CWS finals.

Ole Miss makes it to the finals with a 2 to 0 victory over Arkansas in a pitching duel.
Ole Miss will fact Oklahoma in the CWS finals.
