And now it's Vandy and Michigan in the CWS Championship:

Down to 3 teams. Not the way they want to go home, but what a decade for Texas Tech baseball.

Mike Martin Jr. is officially the head coach of Florida State now: https://d1baseball.com/coaching-buzz/florida-state-promotes-mike-martin-jr-to-head-coach/

Started out 2 ACC, 1 Big 12, 1 Big Ten, and 4 SEC.

Agreed. It is as if adidas isn't in this partnership for maximizing their investment -- which is weird?! As much as I agree that they could make a sizeable dent in revenue from some niche apparel, Adidas makes many investment decisions around economies of scale by standardizing designs across universities.

This goes along the lines of @Norm Peterson's "we need to start off strong next season to signal progress and keep momentum" type of comment in another thread (think it was around scheduling), but getting this draft pick helps along with that as well. It's no longer that monkey on our backs and it's signaling that it can be done at Nebraska; that a player can come in here, work hard, and get drafted in this modern era.

If we were going to have a draft drought, I'm just glad Roby was the one to break that dry spell and not AWIII.

Not that Roby even cares what they have to say...

When Roby finds out he would have to play for Khyri Thomas (then finds a way to get traded to the Mavericks):

Draft drought? More like draft draught! Time to celebrate!

Mississippi State just went down the way they took Auburn down in their opening game. Louisville responds with 4 runs to make it a 4-3 win by the Cardinals to stay alive:

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:

This post is hours late and a dollar short, but paying respects to the 2nd eliminated team in the CWS:

Why did they have to fire our future basketball coach from Washington State just before we were going to play them?

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.

Michigan puts the L on FSU and goes 2-0 to start the CWS:

Or at the very least framed in a museum, if we're not allowed to have nice things.

First casualty of the College World Series:

Mississippi State gets their NCAA leading 28th come-from-behind win of the season:

Vandy gets the win over Louisville in front of a big crowd:

Got our first beach ball casualty of the CWS this year. RIP.
