We beat 13-3 in the midweek against their midweek arms. They have a starter who is very capable. It’s not February. VCU is probably the best 4 seed in the tournament, we’re not going to take a huge chance like your alluding to, to make the odds worse for us to lose that game. It happens every year, look at Ole Miss last year..
I'm afraid that the basketball fans have showed up to explain "how to do it" to the Carolina Baseball fans. Usually, that does not occur until we reach Omaha.
I have flown on many a plane with Carolina fans whose fascination with baseball emerged only in late May or early June. That unpleasant lesson was first learned between 2006 and 2009. In the first year out there, our tickets were in the same section as the team's family members, as they had been in Tuscaloosa. In 2007, our tickets at Rosenblatt were one section away. However, by 2009, our seats had been "Big-Rammed" all the way to the edge of the zoo.
Although our sight lines changed over the years, that inconvenience was more than offset by the keen analysis shared by an influx of Tar Heel tyros trying to grasp abstruse concepts, such as innings, who were, nevertheless, more than willing to share their "hot takes" on college baseball--both before and after the games.
It was preferable--especially, if you were hungry--to hang out with LSU fans at "The Drover." Unfortunately, because of rain, it was too late to do so in 2008 after FedEx unloaded his Grand Slam on the Tigers. THAT was a night to remember.
