Summer Update

Dead time if you are a college sports fan. CWS is over and done. LSU breezed through the regional, beating Texas Southern and So. Mississippi twice. Super regional had University of California-Irvine coming to town. They were a pretty consistent top 20 team, and I was not surprised when they won their regional at Lincoln, Nebraska. LSU lost the first game to a first-round MLB pick. They made a super comeback in the second game after being down 7-3 in the 8th inning. LSU win 9-7. The third game wasn't even close, as UC-Irvine obviously left everything on the field in the second game. LSU won 21-7. This put them in the CWS, where they had a first round game with #2 seed North Carolina. LSU lost, which put them in the elimination bracket with Rice. After being down 5-0, LSU once again came back to win 6-5. Most importantly, this broke the "0-for-Smoke" record, or the 0-4 record we had in the CWS under Smoke. Well, that put us playing against UNC again, who lost to Fresno State, who, incidentally, was the first #4 seed in their regional to make it to the CWS. The equivalent would be a #16 seed in basketball making it to the final four. Anyway, LSU lost again to UNC, who lost eventually to Fresno. Fresno played Georgia in the final round, and after dropping the first game, beat Georgia two straight to win it all. Who woulda thunk it?
