NCAA Regionals Open Thread

by Vasherized on Jun 4, 2010 3:11 PM CDT in Texas Longhorns and Other Baseball

HenryJames leaves the country for two weeks and manages to arrive back in Austin within an hour of first pitch. Reason #4,590 to loathe this man. But he still uses a travel agent and is excited about getting a cellular flip phone for Christmas, so I find my sympathies conquering sheer hatred once again.

Regional action is underway and the Horns take the field against Rider tonight at 6:30 CST.

ESPN decided the Austin Regional didn't meet their standard of excellence so it won't be on TV but you can watch it live online here.

The Aggies broke out their lone can of WHOOP! Ass on FIU with a 17-3 (non-moral) victory but Wittels' hit streak continues at 55. That's the real story and proves A&M's sustained irrelevance knows no geographic bounds.

Other scores from around the country:

Rice 0
ULaLa 1
9th

Arkansas 6
Grambling 0
2nd

Citadel 4
Virginia Tech 0

Baylor 0
Arizona 0

Alabama 2
Elon 0

Clemson 2
Southern Miss 0
3rd

The beginning of that video reminds me of our last BC dinner.

Rice down to 1 out left in the 9th before they head to the loser’s bracket.

OU in trouble against (hehe) Oral Roberts, down 6-5 in the top of the 8th.

Beat Rider tonight, then we throw Jungmann tomorrow against ulala. Then Green against whoever emerges from the loser’s bracket. This is shaping up nicely.

Bama, Miami, and Clemson are all rolling. Virginia up early on VCU.

Baylor has come back to take a 4-3 lead over Zona in the 6th.

Baylor decided to start kicking the ball around badly……..3 erros in the sixth leads to 5 Zona runs…now 8-4 Arizona bottom six

I never like to root for/against future opponents winning/losing so we’ll play who’d we prefer, it just seems to fuck with karma.

That said, I went to one of Wayne Graham’s baseball camps when I was in high school. My parents scraped together the $200 or so that it cost for me to watch it rain and practice baseball inside of the damn football stadium, and then play a simulated game on the football turf on the last day because the Reckling Park field was just too wet. And that fuckstick Graham spent about ten total minutes of the week there and gave some BS speech about working hard/hustling/drinking Metamucil or something about one day getting a flip phone for Christmas. Yeah, I realize now that’s how those coaching clinics go, but didn’t at 17. So fuck Rice.

I went to one of Coach Gus’s camps and he yelled at me for being late, and told me to get my butt on the field. Best ass-chewing ever.

Are you going to celebrate at Friday’s tonight?

by Vasherized on Jun 4, 2010 4:55 PM CDT reply actions

ULaLa hasn’t thrown a shutout since 2002.

Baylor has tying run up with 2 out in bottom of the ninth..10-7 Arizona

by Fundamentals on Jun 4, 2010 5:07 PM CDT reply actions

10-9 now, first and third two down

by Fundamentals on Jun 4, 2010 5:14 PM CDT reply actions

Fly out to right….five in the ninth but not enough…Baylor falls 10-9..Good one in LA going with the Anteaters against the Tigers…Bibona vs. Austin Ross…tied at 3, bottom five(LSU is home team..) I bet those Tiger fans are living it up in LA LA land, frosted lettuce, popped collars, the whole nine yards..

Vasher, I don’t celebrate wins in baseball with anything more than a very small, momentary smile and (maybe) an ice cold Abita Turbodog. Baseball doesn’t even merit the honor of a trip to Friday’s.
