First 2 teams got in today.
Who's your pick to win it all?
I want to make the trek to Omaha so bad to see it since I for once have the time off to do so but its a long trip to the middle of no where and tix are pretty hard to come by it seems.
Let's go Cardinal!

Don't make me pull out the Aggie joke book!
(Heh, I really don't have enough school spirit; you can hardly call UH a college in the sense of what most people think of).

that's what makes last weekend so upsetting. i'm sick of our entire athletic program choking when it counts...
oh well. this is as close as it's going to get (in any sport, womens soccer aside) while i'm here, i suppose...
Yes, just the way I predicted. Good game.... tune in to catch the end on ESPN
Game 2 Stanford came through, capitalized on Rice's mistakes.
I have been dissapointed with Stanford's pitching though. I think they've been very lucky. They seem to pitch with little control and plan. Very wild. Hell, they hit 5 batters in the first half of the game the other day.
Tomorrow night should be interesting.
Though the Rice players did the Horns down which pisses me off.
But still I root for Rice.
And being from a California public school, it's protocol for me to root against both Stanford and USC.
Stanford was horrible today. They just had no pitching left in em

Questionable managing at one point too. I turned on the game to see Stanford intentionally walking a guy with no outs and a man on 2nd. Down 4 runs in the late innings, you can't give your opponents baserunners like that...
It backfired, spectacularly though...
And how about that Dodgers/Giants game last night, eh? Worrell blows the save on 2 unearned runs and the game goes into extra innings. Then on his way to scoring the winning run, Barry steals #500...and then REALLY steals the basepad. He ripped it out of the ground and handed it to groundskeeper!
Congratulations to both teams.

Rice had the deeper team. Besides, Rice was due - its first national championship in any sport. You're talking about a school of 2500 weenies competing in Division I - tough sledding. 8)
Congratulations to both teams.
1.) Rice had to play less games. They weren't neccessarily deeper.
2.) Stanford is a school of around 5400 students and far more difficult to get in.

i have a feeling we'll be seeing a nice rice-stanford matchup, although both teams seem to flounder in omaha every year. this might be rice's year
wow, did i get the series down or what? man, what a great season. congrats to rice, a team i always root for simply because i almost went there.
w/ so much depth, look for a repeat next year.
