That was just awesome! Yes, they DID make them pay. Alex White gets the job done with great help from his teammates (entire team effort always helps).
I was afraid that the delay would hurt UNC, need our final ACC team to hang in there!
Gonna be a battle leading into both brackets.
Wow - that is called punching them in the mouth. Fresno State is very impressive - they don't back down from anyone.
another impressive outing by Georgia today beating a talented Stanford squad. Congrats to the Diamond Dawgs. The bats were strong today, and as they have all year their pitching has been superb ! 2 more games to go !
Fresno State is billing their baseball team as the " College Baseball Cinderella Team ".
My dogs are gonna have to have to throw out the glass slippers,...& put their big boots on for tonights game.
Whoooo Hoooooo!!!!!
The town of Fresno ( and a few native stragglers inadvertanly planted in the midwest ) is/are rooting hard for their boys!
Its gonna be a battle!
~ Best of luck to both teams ~
Coach May,....care to place a little friendly ( & healthy ) peanut butter/banana sandwich wager on it?

Hey Jerseydad, do you think any persuading from the masses might get Q to lean towards the Hill? I know I'm only one, but gosh I want to see that boy in light blue.
Boy have I been impressed with Fresno States team. They are a great collection of gritty hard nosed baseball players. And they are very talented. It has been a war both times out and I think its going to be another hard fought game.
OK lets wager. I will send you a large bag of Southerns peanuts "they are very good" and 5 lbs of our best Bar B Que. If the Bulldogs win. Now what are you going to send me if the Tar Heels win?
I predict a very close game and without a doubt the team that scores the most runs will win!!!

Coach May - I agree with your take 100%. Other than Chad Flack's homerun yesterday and Alex White's power pitching late in the game, I don't believe UNC has matched the intensity of Fresno State. It was on full display when Ackley was hit in the mouth trying to advance to third. UNC has great talent no doubt but they better show up with all of it if they want to beat Fresno imho. Fresno's pitching is under-rated, their defense has been spectacular thus far, and they got some kids who know how to swing the bat.
Coach May,....you're on!! 
I'll take those southern peanuts ( num! ) and that 5 lbs. of Tar Heel BBQ. ( squeal! )
And if NC wins,...
I'll send ya a big box of our Kansas' famous chocolate covered sunflower seeds:
Uncle Ozgood's microwave popcorn on the cob:
A large bag of Cat cakes/waffle mix,....
and a super samplin' of Kansas City's Gates BBQ fixin's!!!
It's gonna be a GREAT game!!!!!!

I dont know why I cant get the game on TV. It says on the website that ESPN-C has it, but all I get on that channel is old games.
I am listening on line to the tarheels broadcast as I grill dinner. Wife is UNC alum, so I am rooting with her. Doesn't look real good at this stage, but this IS college baseball. Six outs and five runs down... yeah that is tough but it could happen

The game is on ESPN-U
I predict the Bulldogs win the National Championship.
Congrats to Fresno State. They deserved to win this series with UNC. They were unreal on defense and got the big hits when they needed them. Also congrats to UNC they had a great season and they are a great group of young men.
OK send me an address and I will make good on my end of the wager. Good luck to the Bulldogs! Which one? I am not saying.

I'm disappointed the Heels didn't win. That's baseball though.
But someone is in for a treat with the 5lbs of BBQ from Coach May! yum.

I have a feeling that you and I will probably be spending a few innings together with Coach May at the Bosh next year.
Good luck to Georgia and FS. I hope it is a great series!

ssm ...
I believe it was the broadcasters who tagged the Fresno State Bull Dogs with that nickname. Their coach used to be in the Big West Conference with Fullerton, Long Beach, UCI, UCR etc when he coached at Cal State Northridge. Based on everything I have heard about him, I don't believe he is one to toot his own horn.
I am happy for the West Coast Bull Dogs ... Fresno also used to be part of the Big West ... and I love having teams from each side of the country duking it out. That is what makes it so interesting. I just hope the FS Bull Dogs didn't peak yet
One thing that really impressed me last night after the win. The coach talked about how there is no "I" in the dugout; it is all "we". He said he's never had another team where every single player was concerned about everyone else on the team. Assuming he meant it and wasn't just saying nice things for the camera 
, I suspect that this, along with their talent and grit, has helped with this wonderful run they have had. We are sure rooting for them! Heck, I think I might be rooting for them even if they were playing Stanford .

That's a good one Bordeaux! BTW big congrats to you, your family, and of course David for all that has been accomplished so far. Much more to come I'm sure.
I'm rooting for Fresno too, and I sure am happy for Sean Bonesteele. He did his job and got his team started off well. Heckuva job Sean.
