College Worlds Series finals

[jonoo24]

So, who do you think will win it, and in how many?

[Apples]

The series is about an 8 minute drive from me, so I've seen my share of games.

Texas by far has gotten lucky, and has played a weaker schedule, so I don't think they will stand up.

LSU brings the nutjob fans so they will have a home field advantage also. ;)

[Cubecubed]

Im going to say LSU because i dont want to anger you, and i know nothing about College baseball because my team sucks(Michigan State).

Well to be fair, the southern half of the US has an obscene advantage for the sport.

They can practice year around and often play more games than northern teams.

To be honest, I get effing sick of seeing Florida and California teams dominate it every year. Texas is a close second.

Not anymore. NCAA placed mandates on practice times.

You really live FIVE MINUTES AWAY??? Dude, me and my dad are going next year(before it becomes the capital one CWS finals played in T.D. Ameritrade brought to you by geico)

EDIT: California? See:Call state Fullerton.

[Apples]

Yeah, the new stadium is a shame. The NCAA swooped in and held the city for hostage, threatening to move the series out of town after 60+ years unless the city bought them a new stadium.

It's the type of NCAA greed more befitting the BCS than college baseball. The taxpayers footing the bill can't even buy tickets for the event outside of scalpers. It's a total money grab. It's also going to absolutely kill the old neighborhood that holds the stadium too, it will be slumland in less than 5 years. The old stadium is all that it has supporting it.

But anyway, whether your team is here or not, the series is a great experience and I highly recommend visiting whenever you can. Some of the best sports, tailgating, and competition you will ever see.

[Daesania]

Yeah well guess what apples, the place they're building the new stadium (potentially), is 3 blocks from my house. If that gets approved, I'm moving the hell away.

I WISH THE CWS WAS OVER. I HATE YOU OUT OF TOWN DRIVERS.

The one time of year people come to nebraska... i wish it had gone to another state, then people really would have no reason to come to Nebraska.

PS. I live like 5 miles from the current stadium, so i make sure i stay the heck away ;)

I wouldnt say that, our zoo is quite popular.

Stupid Henry Doorly. They want that land to house moar animals.

[Daesania]

or SAVE more animals. not all zoos are bad.

Omgwtflolbbq!

[jonoo24]

Texas-6
LSU-7 F/11th

I love these types of games. Except when LSU plays them.

Game 2 tomorrow.

[Mega-Tallica]

What a great game 1 it was. LSU won 7-6 in 11 innings.

[Revxzz]

i picked LSU in 2.... nevermind that

1) im a huge LSU homer and from NOLA
2) just watched LSU win last night while wearing out the Texas pitching staff

L....S....U....

[Daesania]

when does this thing get over? please tell me soon.

[Apples]

Texas by far has gotten lucky, and has played a weaker schedule, so I don't think they will stand up.


I like my prediction in retrospect after game 1. The Texas bullpen was not battle tested and blew it late.

[LegendofRock3021]

That was a fantastic game 1, the game going back and forth was really exciting. I'm very much looking forward to game 2 tonight, we'll see if Texas can bounce back from their bullpen issues to force a game 3.

You hurt me, Apples. You hurt me down to my soul.

[Apples]

You hurt me, Apples. You hurt me down to my soul.

Hey, this is Big 12 North country up here, so we tend to look down our nose at the other half of the division. ;)

Also, I have just had lousy experiences with Texas fans in the past. (I know they're not all bad, but I've had enough bad experiences that it has soured me against them.) So I tend to root against them for that reason. Plus that chant thing they do is annoying.

[Shakeybonez HDS]

Well since I am from New Orleans and currently live about 20 minutes from Baton Rouge I am pulling for my Tigers....GEAUX ------->>>> TIGERS (fans will know what that is)

[Mega-Tallica]

I think LSU will finish off Texas in Game 2.

I can understand about the fans. Some of the fans disgust me and I'm a diehard Longhorn. I've actually gotten into scuffles with belligerent UT fans at games from time to time. But I think every team has those kinds of fans; it comes with the territory.

The chant is another story altogether. I'm not sure which one you're specifically referencing because we've got several. But I take part in every one of those so I understand if you have to hate me now. :D

But it's all in good fun and tonight's game should be great!

Nah, I don't hate you in the least because you mentioned the golden phrase... "all in good fun."

The ones that bother me the most are the ones who take it too seriously to a point where they lose sight of the game aspect become rude/belligerant/unsportsmanlike. (And that's not specific to Texas or even to baseball... boy the stunts that Colorado and Oklahoma will pull during football season!)

[jonoo24]

Game starts at 7:45 Central.

[Apples]

Not looking good early for LSU.

[BevoTheWarrior]

I'm happy so far. :D

[jonoo24]

I'm happy so far. :D

It's coming...just wait.

Longhorn=Food

Tiger=Predator.

'nuff said.

[BayouBengal032]

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!


(even though we're kind of blowing tonight)

[BayouBengal032]

Cmon Jonoo we need a run.

Dammit, oh well. Texas wanted it more tonight. True National Championship game tomorrow night.

Let's get em Tigers!

This. Hey, they wasted all their pitching last night. If we could have just gotten a couple and get youngmann out of there they wouldn't have anyone else.

---------->>>>>>>>TIGERS

[Apples]

Tigers had their chances, should be an interesting game tommorow.

[jonoo24]

Tigers had their chances, should be an interesting game tommorow.

Yes, it should.

[BayouBengal032]

We got Renaudo starting tomorrow so hopefully he'll be good on a short rest. We need him so our pitching doesn't blow like it did tonight.

[jonoo24]

Yeah, my wife was all like "Well, if they started him today, we wouldn't have to worry about tomorrow.":rolleyes: Women

[BayouBengal032]

Yeah, my wife was all like "Well, if they started him today, we wouldn't have to worry about tomorrow.":rolleyes: Women

Yeah but if we started him today, he'd only be on like 3 days rest since he pitched friday.

EDIT: my girlfriend said the same exact thing.

I see you play on XBL, that's unfortunate.

[BevoTheWarrior]

Looking forward to tomorrow night! The nay-sayers were going nuts earlier today, but it's nice to be back in it now.

[BayouBengal032]

I see you play on XBL, that's unfortunate.

I assume that means you're on the PS3? I have a PS3 just not for Rock Band. If it's Wii then no good for anything until i get mine toward the end of the summer.

I have PS3 and wii. I don't really use the wii for anything.

on topic: My game prediction (albeit biased) 13-5 Lsu.

[BevoTheWarrior]

My game prediction (albeit biased) 13-5 Lsu.

Wow, that's one hell of a prediction! I think it's actually gonna be a lot closer than that. My prediction is that the game will be decided by one or two runs.

[Apples]

Wow, that's one hell of a prediction! I think it's actually gonna be a lot closer than that. My prediction is that the game will be decided by one or two runs.

Yeah, I would put the game score at like 7 to 5 or 9 to 7.

[jonoo24]

The reasoning is because LSU has averaged like 9 runs game. They scored one last night.

[Mega-Tallica]

LSU got owned yesterday. I expect it to be a great rubber game.

[BayouBengal032]

Here we go THE National Championship game. Let's geaux tigers!!!!

If there are any more LSU fans checking this thread let's keep it going...

GEAUX!!!!...
------------------------>

[BayouBengal032]

Yeah there we go! Mitchell 3 run bomb to start the game!

[Apples]

Going to be hard to come back from 4 runs down and the full pitching staff available.

[jonoo24]

Yeah there we go! Mitchell 3 run bomb to start the game!

------------>>>>>>>>>>>>>TIGERS

like I said, I don't think it will be close.

Me either. We got our pitching straight, the players look more foucesed tonight, our crazy fans are more into it, no delays. It's our game.

[Apples]

Wow, this is a crazy game.

I am a bit surprised LSU hasn't yanked their pitcher after him laboring for so long.

[jonoo24]

I am a bit surprised LSU hasn't yanked their pitcher after him laboring for so long.

Because he is ranaudo.

[BayouBengal032]

Because he is ranaudo.

Yeah that is true but it's time for him to go now.

GEAUX!!!!----------->

[Apples]

Holy moley. The bottom just fell out for Texas.

Did that first runner actually get hit by the pitch?

[BayouBengal032]

That inning was HUGE for us!

And Apples Dean did get hit, the guy before I didn't think so but shhhhh :)

[BayouBengal032]

Who?

CHAD JONES!!!!

[jonoo24]

Who?

CHAD JONES!!!!

Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.

[jonoo24]

What was my prediction again?

That's right.
13-5.

current score=10-4

[Apples]

Even the Texas closer couldn't stop the damage, it's over.

[BayouBengal032]

What was my prediction again?

That's right.
13-5.

current score=10-4

As soon as we scored 10 I thought of that post. Lol.

[BayouBengal032]

3 more outs to a championship baby! Let's go!!!!

[BayouBengal032]

Six National Championships baby!

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BevoTheWarrior]

What was my prediction again?

That's right.
13-5.

current score=10-4

Yeah, you were right. I can't believe the score was so one-sided. Well, congrats to all you LSU fans. What can I say? There's always next year. Besides, football season is coming up. :D

Don't even think the SEC will give it up.

hey APPLES, could you change the thread title to "LSU wins CWS finals"?

[BevoTheWarrior]

Ha! The SEC doesn't have to give anything up. Texas is taking it.

[jonoo24]

haha. Tell me, WHO has one the title the last three years? and to which conference?

[lawrence1103]

You're both wrong USC will win the National Championship

[jonoo24]

You're both wrong USC will win the National Championship

Yeah, and we will have a Bla- no.

When Swine fl- no.

It won't happen.

[BevoTheWarrior]

I sincerely think that if Texas had played Florida last year instead of the overrated Oklahoma (who Texas beat, btw), Texas would've won. But what's done is done and we can't go back. But mark my words, Texas is going to the Championship this year and they're taking the title.

Oklahoma being in the championship game last year was a joke and a sham, plain and simple.

The pollsters voted for a flashy offense running up the score on chump opponents instead of the more fundamentally solid team.

[Daesania]

is this over yet?

[jonoo24]

is this over yet?

the CWS? Yes, College sports discussion? No.

It wouldn't have mattered.

yeah i meant the CWS, i want my clear interstates back ;)

[jonoo24]

yeah i meant the CWS, i want my clear interstates back ;)

That won't happen for a couple days. When tiger fans party, we party hard. Meaning all the kids are still out and won't wake up for a couple hours, and very hungover, so expect your interstates clear by Saturday.

[BevoTheWarrior]

It wouldn't have mattered.

Sure it would. At the very least, you have to admit that it would've been a better game.

[jonoo24]

Sure it would. At the very least, you have to admit that it would've been a better game.

Yeah, but FLA would have won either way.shameless SEC fan here

[BevoTheWarrior]

We'll just have to agree to disagree for now. Once football season starts up though, it'll be a whole new discussion. :D

[BayouBengal032]

Sorry man, but no one was going to stop Florida last year. If you want to play the "they beat them" game then the only team that beat Florida last year was Ole Miss who KILLED Texas Tech which was the only team who beat Texas.

But I don't like that "well they beat them so they would have won" game but after gave his little cry baby speech, no one was going to get in Florida's way. No one.

Just wait til Timmy comes back into Death Valley though this year :D



EDIT: However I do agree that Texas did get screwed BIG time out of the Natl Championship game. They were way better than Oklahoma and uh showed that on a neutral field. But still, either way Florida still would have won. I'm saying this and I hate Florida.

Well, once again, I disagree but that's what makes college football so much fun. I will say this though: win or lose, I definitely would've preferred Texas playing Florida instead of Ohio State. It would've been a much better game.

But what's done is done; it's in the past now. We've got a shiny new season getting ready to start and the debate can begin fresh. And this year Texas has the potential to go all the way.

So do half the teams in the SEC, and another 12 around the country.

The fact that these types of discussions even need to take place is effing stupid. Playoff system settles it on the field like it should be.

[classicrockdude]

LSU will win! GEAUX TIGERS!!

[BevoTheWarrior]

So do half the teams in the SEC, and another 12 around the country.

That's exactly my point. It's going to be a great season and as it goes on, we'll see who's still standing by the end of the season. My money is on Texas playing one of your SEC teams in the National Championship. And at that time, we can have this argument over who will win all over again. :D


LSU will win! GEAUX TIGERS!!

Are you talking about football? LSU going all the way this year isn't very likely. But we'll see.

Their football team kinda fell apart a bit last season.

[jonoo24]

Their football team kinda fell apart a bit last season.

See: The quarterback that had more interceptions than pass completions. When we put in the new QB, we dominated.
