Here's the rundown of tomorrow's College World Series action, action, action, on ESPN2, 2, 2! (that I'm taking off work for. Don't judge me.)
Here, Southern College Sports breaks down Bracket 1 for you. Newcomers to all this at Card Chronicle take their look at the bracket. Good luck guys (okay fine, I'll say it: Please beat Rice). For more homerism, here's CollegeBaseball Blog's MSU preview. And for more of a travelogue of some lucky State fans, there's The Beef on the Road to Omaha. As mentioned in The Commercial Dispatch, State's on a 4-0 roll here recently when it comes to ACC teams. It's also a quasi-revenge tour by eliminating Clemson, who has helped oust State from the regionals twice recently. The last time UNC and MSU played was in the 2003 Starkville regional and UNC won in extra innings. The game tying homer in the ninth was given up by some stiff named Papel...something. I wonder what ever happened to that guy? It was also my last sporting event as a college student. How fitting. Overall, State's College World Series history is full of early exits , even with talented teams (cough, like the basketball team, cough). I mean, check out this list of an All-Star team made up of the respective teams all-time greats. Yeah, even THAT TEAM (1984) that placed four players on here managed to go 1-2 in Omaha. Hopefully this year's team chock full of scrappy overachievers will do something the more talented squads (prove me wrong, guys) couldn't. To sum up: this years team started out great, fell flat on its face to finish the season, and is now damn hot in the post season (post SEC tourney). Keep it up, guys.
Oh, and I just might liveblog at some point during the games. Because that story just won't go away quietly. Like I'd ever get press credentials for something in the future.
