PrintThe Diamond Dogs have just upset the top-ranked Miami Hurricanes.
There will be more to follow later, but, for now, the Red and Black have done what no team had done before . . . namely, beaten the ‘Canes in a game in which The U led after eight frames.
I thank NCT, Xon, SG Standard, and Loran Smith (not the real one) for taking part in tonight’s comment thread. It was a lot of fun, and I hope more of you will join us Monday night when Georgia takes on Stanford in the winners’ bracket.
The best line of the game, by the way, came from my son, Thomas, who is five years old and who watched the first part of the game with me. Upon seeing a shot of the crowd, he remarked, "Oh, man! They have snow cones!"
I promised to buy him a snow cone in Omaha when he is seven, nine, eleven, or 13.
Go ‘Dawgs!

Lets stick with what works
I must humbly request a “Last Minute Look At Stanford” post at 10:30 tomorrow night.
Congratulations Dawgs
I just wanted to congratulate the baseball team on a great SEC win.
haha
on the Thomas quote.
Larry Munson: "Whaddya got for us Loran?"
Loran Smith: "Well Larry, I'm down here with Charles Grant...and he just loves boiled peanuts!"
Larry Munson: "Good stuff, Loran"
They had snow cones?
Man, I knew I would miss something! ;)
Go Dawgs!
Congratulations
As much as baseball is, to me, a sport of courtesy and sportsmanship, I just can’t help but think of Miami and Florida State as villains. I can’t explain why, but where I can be quite magnanimous to a team like UC-Irvine, even if they had beaten us, I can’t bring myself to have any good thoughts about Miami or Florida State. I’m glad y’all won.

Thanks, Richard
Along similar lines, I send my best wishes to the Bayou Bengals for this evening’s showdown with the Tar Heels.
While I am not anxious for another three-game series against an L.S.U. squad that has gone on a blistering tear since Georgia’s series in Baton Rouge, my sense of conference solidarity comes into play and I hope Louisiana State has a long run in Omaha.
Besides, my reasons for rooting against North Carolina in the College World Series, which were good last year, are even better this year.
Go 'Dawgs!
