But he really blew it in the ninth today.

 

That was my point.  He now lives under the Arkansas curse.  Besides all the cross country and track titles, the only national championship they have in the men's sports is a 1994 basketball championship under Nolan Richardson.

Mich just looked liked a championship team against FSU. Huskers beat 'em in the regular season and again in B1G tournament. We were SO CLOSE this year!

 

Not to undermine the accomplishment, but Michigan certainly has gotten the best draw in the College World Series right now. Arkansas was the major contender in their bracket and Michigan/Florida State were both "Last Four In".

 

The other side of the bracket is fierce with Mississippi State and Vanderbilt. But like I said, you can't undermine Michigan's position because they survived the #1 overall Regional, so I suppose that makes sense. Great start for the Blue.

 

I just remember when we matched up against them, we had the better pitching staff but weaker bats. Michigan's success in this tournament is going to be how deep they can go with their pitchers to pull out two wins in the finals.

The road for Mike Martin ends in Omaha. Win or lose, what a special way to end a career.

 

Down to 5 teams left in Omaha:

 

 

 

5 teams left in Omaha...  

 

Nebraska record against those five teams this year was 4-2.  So dang close and just goes to show that we were right there this year.
