Gosh, it still freakin hurts.
the announcers speaking about Louisville making to Omaha last year just ripped off the band aid. We should’ve been the ones playing LSU last year.

Serious question for some....do y'all enjoy watching the games?
The best thing I ever did was start covering sports because you realize that 99.9 percent of the time, the players are just regular dudes with talent and it makes it so much easier to watch and enjoy rather than freak out second by second, minute by minute, pitch by pitch.......and 99% of the time the same can be said for whatever team the team you pull for is playing. And one thing is certain....they all care and want to win beyond any fandom/fanaticism out there....and they are trying to win beyond anything we can do/experience as watchers.
These boards are amazing and those of y'all I have seen out in the wild are amazing and so different than what I see on here is almost like two distinct worlds....lol
Anyway.....soap box put up. Enjoy the rides. And remember what Dean Smith once said......

Seems like @JoeyPowell just sits back comment farms during the game thread. Nothing but love Joey!
A lot of kicked dogs in the Carolina fanbase
Came to the boards after being away all day and saw this, following a mercy win against State. Don’t think i’ll scroll back any, lol!
One thing I always loved about Roy was he was playing for April. Fans would get mad because we lost an early season game but he was building for the final weekend of the season.
I didn’t even show up until this game was over!
I’m gonna be honest, the way last year ended was the worst I’ve felt since at least 2008 and maybe 2006, and I so badly want to get back to Omaha to erase that taste out of our mouth. And frankly I’m a little paranoid that we’re an arm short or our studs will run out of gas.
I’ve greatly enjoyed the year, especially considering the way the first two conference games went. What we did finding Schaffner and Hull in the portal and the way they’ve performed is remarkable, along with the other guys we brought in. Our top guys on the mound are so good that I think we can compete with anybody. I just want to see us get the chance and for them to be at their best when it happens.
Specific to tonight, I thought being up 10-2 was a chance to give somebody else a chance to see if they could put together an outing that would give a confidence boost going into the tournaments. Certainly can’t blame going to Glauber once it got interesting, and it was good for him to get out there on a back-to-back.
I might love Carolina baseball more than any other Carolina sport. I love supporting the boys at the Bosh, and at away games. College baseball overall is pretty awesome to watch.
You’re overreacting. He’s done it with duff and globe multiple times this year. Glauber is fully stretched out and can throw a 100 pitches if needed when he first comes in on a weekend. Plus Globe may be a quick recovery guy. Some need a day or two, some can get back to baseline quicker.
But Globe should basically be in street clothes for tomorrow’s game…
They have drooled over he Pack for 2 games & when UNC does something positive, they’re quiet.
My wife is a State alum (I know... I know...) and is good friends with Coach Avent. As much a s I hate to admit it, he is really a nice guy and they actually text often (as recently as yesterday talking about the series and having fun with her being married to a UNC guy). She has indicated that he is pretty tired and isn't enjoying it as much as he used to. Not sure if that means he's finished yet, but I wouldn't be surprised.
It aged perfectly fine. The process isn’t any better just because it worked out.
Unless a game gets rained out today, this will be the first time in 8 years that no conference games were rained out.
I don’t think it’s any different than what we used to say when watching games with friends. It is a release of emotion and frustration that is done in the stands or at the sports bar or someone’s living room. But when watching alone, the game thread is a place to release emotions.
