My Huskers are imploding this weekend in Missouri, one week after taking A&M in what most people were calling the series of the year (game one went 16 innings - A&M won, Sunday turned into a doubleheader after rain on Saturday, and Nebraska engineered a 5 run bottom of the ninth to win the afternoon game, then came from behind again in the nightcap to win).

Not really sure what to make of what's happening. Midweek seemed like they were avoiding the emotional letdown by taking it to Creighton...but Mizzou is just lighting us up. We'll probably have to get to the Big 12 Championship game in order to reclaim our national seed.

BigRed-

Imploding would be the word to describe what I see happening to A&M down the stretch. They've damn near cratered after that 16 inning win in Lincoln. Its extremely disheartening.

Nebraska screwed up getting a seed with their shenanigans last weekend, OK State, Irvine, or Fullerton will get it now. Losing is one thing, losing 22-9 is another.
Miami, UNC, FSU, Az State, Rice, and Texas A&M are all but guaranteed one at this point. I think NC State is going to be better than the 7 and 8 seeds.

I used to follow it a little, because I played baseball with guys who went on to college programs (a couple of D-1, others in lower divisions). Now, however, I mainly only follow it to see draft previews, so I can recognize some names after the major league draft.

One of my brothers' little brothers plays for UNF (D1) and we make fun of him endlessly while FSU beats them by 15 runs...

Haha - no one I played with went to a big program like that. They ended up at D-1 schools in the northeast.

I still like to brag sometimes about how I got a recruiting call from a coach after high school. Of course, it was a D-III school that had a hard time putting together a team, and would have taken anyone with high school varsity experience. But, those are just insignificant details...

Rice just got knocked out of the CUSA Tournament. First time Rice has been eliminated in two games since 1995.

I'm pretty pleased with Nebraska's draw. UC-Irvine will be tough, but manageable. Playing at home will be a big help, and we should be able to put our Friday starter - Johnny Dorn against UCI when we play them.

Anyways, the Big XII should be pretty disappointed about the 8 national seeds...went from looking like a 100% sure thing of having 2 in there to none...Both A&M and Nebraska really played their way completely out of those, but essentially are the 11th and 10th national seeds respectively based on the super regional pairings...Okie State failed to capitalize.

Pepperdine (#2 seed) takes on Arkansas (#3 seed) in the Stanford regional. UC Davis makes up the final team. I'm glad we at least got to stay in California. GO WAVES!

Univ of San Diego is playing Long Beach State. Go Dirtbags!

Have to like LSU's chances of reaching the World Series, they've been pretty hot lately, and will definitely not want to lose the final super regional in the Box.

It's a picture, brosef. Tssk, Tssk, Tssk....typical overly-sensitive, inferiority complexed Aggie. He was obviously just giving you a little shit. Calm yourself down.

This is just pure greatness by the way:
