USF up 8-1 on FLA in the 3rd

[Bulldogg31]

FLA obviously getting ready for Bama.

It just means more.

O'Sullivan just needs a rain delay so he can not bring his team out after the delay ends like he did against ?Stetson?

How did that not get talked about more? Or was what I hear about that game completely wrong?

 

[bulldogcountry1]

O'Sullivan will just fire up the sprinklers and cancel it.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Postponing a game is one thing. Refusing to play or reschedule is the ***** equivalent of taking your ball & going home. O'Sullivan embodies what my Pappy would call a "yella-bellied ****-***" & he rarely cussed.

Isn't this the second time in the sports year they've pulled this move. C'mon Loafers!*

 

[stateguy]

I think it just happened the one time. But little doubt he would do it again if he had the chance

They just just have the sprinklers unaccountably turn on and somehow not be able to turn them off. Either that or an unexpected power failure that only affects the stadium.

Florida is my pick for national champion this year.

Florida is my pick for national champion this year.

The national champ will be some obscure 3 seed directional school or someone else who isn't a national seed. Nothing makes sense once you get to the postseason. There's no way that any one us, A&M, and Louisville shouldn't have been in Omaha last year, and somehow none of those three teams were. It just gets bonkers at a certain point.

Ironically that makes me feel good about our team. Logic says we aren't built for the postseason and have no chance of getting to Omaha. Probably means we have a great chance!***

 

[Hoover Dawg]

That's happened like 3 times (Fresno State, Virginia and Coastal Carolina). Of those, only Fresno was a true freak run. Coastal and Virginia were 2 seeds, a case can be made Coastal should have hosted, and Virginia had been decimated by injuries, and got all those guys back at the end of the year. They had finished #2 the year before that. Coastal also had a pretty good history in the tournament lately.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

I almost want to include the 2007 Oregon State team. Yeah, they won as defending national champions but they were a 3-seed with a regular season record of 38-17 (10-14 conference).

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Technically, yeah, you have to count them too. I think the recent frequency of it really throws off the perception in many people's minds.

I think the new format may play into that, you do not have to have near the depth to make a run. That's why I wish they would change the Omaha format, to match a typical regional and super regional bracket, over the course of two weekends. Let each side of the bracket play out over the course of 4 days, Friday - Monday, so teams have to extend to their 4th and 5th pitchers. That would get rid of some of the freaky stuff, IMO. 4 games on Friday, 4 on Saturday, 4 on Sunday, 2 on Monday if necessary. People can then go home, and then come back to Omaha for a best of 3 series that next weekend.

I know they like having it during the week to maximize TV, though, and keep people in Omaha for a week and a half.

The point remains that a national seed hasn't won it all since 2011.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Then make that point next time. Lot of difference in a national seed and an obscure 3 seed.

I'd say the smart money is on the 8-16 range.

My exact words were "some obscure 3 seed directional school OR SOMEONE ELSE WHO ISN'T A NATIONAL SEED."

I made my point, you just conveniently picked out which part you wanted to debate and pretended I didn't say anything else.
