College World Series Game Four Open Comment Thread

Welcome back to your College World Series open comment thread, Bulldog Nation!

As you may have heard, the Diamond Dogs will be squaring off with Fresno State in the first game of the College World Series finals this evening. The game is slated to get underway at 7:00 tonight on ESPN2.

We’ve had three exceedingly fun open comment threads during the Red and Black’s time in Omaha, so let’s keep it going as fans while we cheer on the Classic City Canines in their effort to keep it going as a team.

Why celebrate, shout, second-guess, gripe about the announcing, grouse about the umpiring, and hope that more camera time is given to Lauren Massanari all by your lonesome when you can do all these things with your fellow loyal denizens of Bulldog Nation here at Dawg Sports? Have at it!

Go ‘Dawgs!

Erin Andrews is looking fantastic tonight, just saw her on ESPN doing a piece on Fresno St.’s Cinderella run.

Oh yeah there’s a game tonight

Larry Munson: "Whaddya got for us Loran?"
Loran Smith: "Well Larry, I'm down here with Charles Grant...and he just loves boiled peanuts!"

yeah that was weird

Me and friends were saying over the weekend, have said that every crowd shot of UGA fans have very attractive girls and everybody else, not so much.

I’m sure the admissions office is enjoying the free publicity to young men watching our co-eds. Free plug from me- guys it doesn’t get much better than it is right now here in Athens, come on up!

Another motivation for UGA to win

It doesn’t give ESPN the oppertunity to blow up the Cinderella Fresno State and ooh and ahh over how great a story it is, i mean we all love to screw ESPN what better way than to personally ruin their desire for a cinderella story?!

Ah . . .

. . . I see what you mean about Erin. Nice choice of sweaters, Miss Andrews.

By the way, I was noticing this about Dave Perno last night: he and I are the same age--we were contemporaries at Georgia—and he has presumably the higher-stress job, yet I have more grey hair than he does. What gives?

Fashion side note

It peeves me to no end when i see managers wear those stupid quarter zip, pullovers on top of their jerseys. It just looks dumb, dumb, dumb to me.

Is it just me or does that aggravate anybody else either. Terry Francona comes to mind as someone that does it a lot.

It's like they don't really want to wear the jersy

I agree i think its stupid when they wear it over the jersy, it looks like a poncho or some sort of parka, there should be a Man Law against it.

If I remember correctly

I think MLB actually started checking Francona to be sure he was wearing his jersey underneath because I think he admitted that he didn’t sometimes and MLB has a rule against that or something.

That's one I don't get

It made sense for, say, Pete Rose to wear a uniform when he was a player-manager, as many managers were in the early days of major league baseball.

Why the heck does, say, Bobby Cox wear a uniform, though? It’s a holdover tradition that no longer makes sense. Imagine how ridiculous Mark Richt would look in eyeblack and pads on the sideline.

Interesting

I mean i understand maybe wanting something that differentiates you from the players, that sort of helps signify he’s the manager, but to not wear your jersy at all is dumb. I think they should maybe develope some sort of alternate Manager uniform.

Here it is..... plus a funny bit about the women determining the school colors

Here’s a short history of how their sports and mascot history.

http://www.collegefootballhistory.com/fs_bulldogs/history.htm

This is the info on the mascot.

“Nickname and Colors
How did Fresno State arrive at the nickname, Bulldogs, or the colors, Cardinal and Blue? Late in their initial 1921 season, student body president Warren Moody and friends were continually greeted outside the main campus building by a white bulldog. The dog adopted the group and they decided to make him the mascot. Arids Walker made the motion to adopt “Bulldogs” as the official nickname in a student body meeting. It was on November 21, 1921, that the Morning Republican first referred to Fresno State as the “Bulldogs”.

The colors evolved out of an argument by women from Fresno Normal School and men from Fresno Junior College. The women were seeking blue and white to the men’s red and white. A compromise was struck with the school adopting red and blue with red later changed to Cardinal.”

Agreed

If Fresno State wasn’t good enough to win it, they wouldn’t have gotten this far.

After Oregon State won it last year with a losing record in regular-season conference play, it’s hard to argue that a team on a hot streak in June can’t close the deal in the finals.

Once again . . .

. . . I thank you all for stopping by and making this yet another Dawg Sports record comment thread.

A confession: my brother-in-law, who is in graduate school and was on the road during the game, called me while in a radio dead zone an asked me for a score update. While we were on the phone, Fresno State scored their three late runs.

Naturally, I told him I had to hang up on him, because he was bringing me bad mojo, but the damage was done.

My bad. Next time I see him, I’ll punch him.

Go 'Dawgs!

No worries

I guess it was offset by me listening to CCR’s Pagan Baby starting with the last out in the top of the 8th and leaving it on repeat til the last out had settled safely into a UGA Bulldog’s glove and my dad turning on the radio, hearing us take the lead, and turning it back off, as so much good had happened without him listening. Sports can make superstitious lunatics out of the sanest of men.

So do you think it's wrong of me . . .

. . . to refuse to take my brother-in-law to see a football game with me this fall?

‘Cause, honestly, after tonight, I’m giving serious consideration to that.

Has he ever been to one?

Have you been to any other sporting events/Las Vegas with him? What is his track record? We can’t afford to bring a Mush to a game. Maybe test him out against GSU and take things from there.

He's a Georgia alum . . .

. . . who has been to many games, both with me and with other people.

Generally, he’s been O.K., except when he takes his wife (my wife’s sister) to a game with him and they call it a date. I have forbidden them from calling it a date, which has enabled them to go to games together on a non-date without Georgia losing, but their “date” games included Auburn ‘05 and Vanderbilt ‘06. I stopped that stuff right then and there.

Aside from date games with his wife, though, he hasn’t been bad luck. I’m just worried about his mojo this particular season.

Go 'Dawgs!

Maybe its a baseball thing

I wouldnt necessarily go out of my way to involve him, but I wouldnt put my foot down and forbid it either. As long as they keep the date stuff out of the way, it sounds ok. Just to be on the safe side, I wouldn’t involve him in tomorrow nights game at all. No sense tempting fate.
