And we saw that ND was over rated.

Great to see the real ACC teams and not posers doing well :)

Kendall was also getting a dig in at SEC fans who think that good baseball is only played in the south. And only in the SEC.

Serious question... & I like D1 Baseball. Do you give them a pass? They did come out surprised about ND snub on national seed. But they were SEC "homers" too. They are selling attention... & if you don't commit & say everybody is awesome... then you're part of the problem.

All southern teams except for Sanford. With the loss, Sanford on the back foot.

Expect another southern team to win.

Rooting for Texas over Miss State. Another SEC loss would be nice.

I thought D1 supported ND as one of the top 8 in their projections.

But given other story lines - rpi, Covid related home field assignments. D1 mostly appeased their money base except for snarky comments in chat and the like.

I give D1 A pass to extent they need it since they are in this to make money and not be dogmatic. So they are part of the problem if one is expecting honesty which reduces profits.

Everyone is awesome here in Lake Woebegone.

'Family affair': Father's Day at CWS for Leiters

The father-son interviews have been happening a bit more frequently these days. And they’re only going to increase. “I get it,” Al Leiter said. “It’s Father’s Day. I played 19 seasons in the big leagues, and my son’s pretty good.” Al, of course, did pitch in the big leagues for

PAC12 will have 1st team to exit the CWS (today). Loser of 5-Arizona v 9-Stanford

A "UT" will be 2nd team out (tomorrow). Loser of 3-Tenn v 2-Texas.

So... after tomorrow, will be down to 4 seeded teams & 2 unseeded.

Stanford wins (not sad about that).
Tonight is a little more complicated. I want NCSt to show the world the ACC was better than they thought. Wouldn't mind Vandy since I want us to look better.
I guess NCSt by a nose, but it's close.

I want NC State to win since I like the school and alumni.

I also like Vandy since they are like an ACC school academically forced to do SEC things.
