Dat strike zone. :wow:

Even though the game was already over, that last strike out pissed me off the most. LSU’s a great team, and they got great umpires.

Ain't easy looking this eggstraordinary.

glad the gators held out after that rally by lsu, that game was a must have with the two pitchers we're gonna have to face in games 2 and 3. hoping faedo is enough to match at least one of them.

Well, the way the top of the 8th has started, I don't know that the events of the 7th are going to decide this one. No outs and runners on the corners.

In retrospect, it would've been better for Robertson to stay on third and then run home on that last out.

Only hope they hold them here and have a prayer in the 9th.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
Good final series. Gotta be gratifying for Gator fans that even though it took 11 CWS tries to finally get a title, Florida State is on 22 and still counting.

edit: actually now the top three teams on appearances without a title are all ACC: FSU, Clemson (12), UNC (10). That it took so long for the ACC to win a CWS has to be one of the weirder anomalies in college sports.

Meanwhile Northern Colorado has 10 also but I don't see them getting back any time soon. Most were in the '50s when they were Colorado State College (not CSU) and the last was in 1974.

That fact never escapes me for a minute. Nor does the fact that Coastal Carolina beat us to the title.

Your edit prompted me to look up titles and holy gently caress has it really been 16yrs since Miami won their last title :vince:

Or 12 years since we dropped that heartbreaking series to Texas in 05?!?!

Or 19 years since we dropped 0-2 BBQ with Brad Wilkerson in 98 as the 1 seed?!?! gently caress i'm getting old.

I don't have a dislike for LSU. I think you had a bad coach who couldn't run offense to save the program's life (or his job) and should have always been a little better than you were. I also thought they were a little stupid about the cancelled/postponed game last fall but I will let it go given the end result. I always hope for every team UF plays to be undefeated when we play then so that us winning looks better.

Except for FSU. I would be okay with them losing every game from now until eternity.

I don't hate LSU.

I joked yesterday that a win would remove the ghost of Jacob Hester from my back. And it has!

LSU has been one of the standard-bearers of college baseball for a long time. It means a little more (to me, at least) to beat a team like LSU for our first.

And while I'm sad for all my tigger friends, I'm sure you guys can cry yourselves to sleep at night on a pile of baseball trophies.
