Since the world has been pretty busy with The Sopranos, Roger Clemens, French Open, The Red Sox, The NBA Finals, and Paris Hilton has anyone noticed that the College Baseball Super Regional Play has been going on...I didn't think so!
Well, tell you the truth they really haven't marketed it very well either. I personally love the College World Series. The bats, the fans, the drama, and more importantly the dugout cheers. My personal favorite is the shaking of the ball inside the hat!
Here's what's been going on: Mississippi State advanced to the Series after being the last team to qualify to make the regional tourney. The Tarheels advanced after beating the South Carolina Gamecocks in the second game of a double header yesterday, try to find the highlights...great game. Rice and Cal State Fullerton took care of Texas A&M and UCLA very easily. Same goes for Arizona State and UC Irvine who swept Mississippi and Wichita State respectively. Louisville advanced again surprising the college baseball world by scoring 20 runs verses Oklahoma State yesterday. And the final team to represent the College World Series will be either the defending champs from Oregon State or my boys from Michigan.
Game 2 is tonight on ESPN 2, they battled in a real pitching duel yesterday with Oregon State coming out with the 1-0 win. If Michigan can pull off the upset the next couple of days they will make it to the Series for the first time since 1984. After surviving and beating the #1 seed and favorite this year in Vanderbilt, in the Regionals, Michigan is ready for the next step and I am finally able to wear my Michigan baseball jersey with pride now. Michigan is not only representing themselves this year but the entire Big Ten who haven't had a school in the College World Series since the Wolverines made it in 1984. Watch for Nate Recknagel and Jason Christian. Two major prospects in the making. GO BLUE!
