PrintThis one's for all the marbles. It all comes down to this. Winner takes all. To help tide us over until gametime and get through the workday, here are some videos of the runups and the final games of our athletic department's last three chances to take home a national championship with one more win (I get to ignore the 2004 Fullerton series because we never got into that position):
And a couple of brackets with links to Gametracker pages for all the games in the baseball tournament so far:

Few cities party like Omaha. I could tell you stories about wild times at the Zesto.
Good luck to the Horns.

I still maintain that the 04 team was not just the best Texas team I’ve ever seen but was the best college baseball team I’ve ever seen. I know they lost to two remarkable pitching performances and so will never be considered one of the all time greats but I’d take that team over any other.

Even though Texas is the #1 seed I think LSU was/is as big a favorite over UT this year as UT was over Cal. St. in ’04. We can only hope we get the kind of pitching performance tonight that Cal. St. got in their second game. ’04 still hurts.

I forget, who was the guy that jumped and completely missed the pile?

Huck,
It was Stubbs heading full steam from Center Field.
I found a baseball stat Huck hasn’t posted yet.
Most home runs in CWS:
School Year HR

The Boss music videos & Country/Western music? Nah. I’m from Philly. But I enjoy watching these videos. Thanks again, Huck for sharing.

Another year… Another SEC team to go DOWN!

I bet we have the record for solo home runs locked down.

just think, if bcs ran this show we’d be gearing up for the big showdown tonight between lsu and cal state fullerton.
and when lsu cold-cocked csf, all the talk would be about the greatest ever.

Work absolutely sucks today. This is horrible.

The burger at Zesto’s may be one of the best I’ve ever had. And the fresh-squeezed lemonade is a perfect complement for a flask of vodka.

So let’s hit five tonight and win the fuckin’ thing.

I wonder what LSU celebrity they will showcase in the stands tweeting tonight. Mike Patrick is so in, it’s not even funny.

Great stuff Huck! Thanks.

Wasn’t there some swimming and track championships sprinkled in there? Regardless…. I’ll be wearing my Rally Cap tonight.

What’s the O/U on how many time the capital one commercial will show tonight?
by Tackchevy on Jun 24, 2009 2:13 PM CDT reply actions
That’s the one. I’m going to step out and say 22… For official purposes, the count starts after the first pitch is thrown.
by Tackchevy on Jun 24, 2009 3:29 PM CDT reply actions
There are two with the Visigoths (the one with the chickens in the bullpen and the one with the ball cut in half). Do both count?

This explains Scipio’s temporary leave of absence.
by Vasherized on Jun 24, 2009 4:00 PM CDT reply actions
Can I get a parlay on the Visigoths with the big titty bee and the little league world series video game?
Whatever the line, I’ll take the over on all three.

Either Visigoth commercial applies – ball in half or bullpen chickens.
