My pic for CWS championship

I knew you would pick an ACC team but you picked the wrong one. UVA is going to win the title this year imho.

I think this one is wide open but keep your eyes on Coach Murphy and ASU

UNC would be a nice choice, 4th time's a charm.
Although I'm a West coaster and like CSF and ASU chances.
I like the underdogs??
USM and UVA are my sentimental choices.

EH

CD,
Will take a UNC/UVA championship match up.

UNC lost a great deal of their incoming talent to the draft, yet Fox still managed to pull it off. And I know he won't compromise any player for a trophy. He's got the experience and the players with Omaha experience, but we also have seen how that goes. UVA has lots to prove, that attitude brings success.

What I find pretty interesting, compressed scheduling to even out things, still we see the same teams in Omaha? What was the point? Did anyone think we'd see different results?

I think it will come down between NC and CSF. My sentimental final two would be Southern Miss and LSU. While LSU does stand a great chance to get to the finals, SMU will have to pull out some magic I think to get by Texas in the first game alone, but stranger things have happened! I LOVE SMU!!!

Final victor - NC!

"Pitching and Defense wins Championships". So I'm going with Texas!!!!

.
Let's stir this up properly...

The numbers/year say east coast...history says West Coast...

My heart and head are both with ASU this year...

Hometown pride ASU!ASU! Murph actually has some pitching this year and they can slug it out with the best of them as always. Dangerous combo.

I will be rooting for Southern Miss. Underdog, coach retiring.

I think the winner will be either ASU or LSU.

I'm pulling for the tar heels however if they don't win it I'd be happy with UVA as a second choice.

Should be fun to watch.

Well, how about them hogs?!?!

Virginia for me. Don't know a darn thing about 'em; just want them to win it

ASU has a kid named Ruettiger..."RUDY, RUDY, RUDY..."

Last time a Ruettiger played collegiate sports, they made a movie about him.

I'm going with the Horns. Hook'em!

Did you know that's "Rudy's" nephew? Thats what the TV guys said during the super-regional.

Where's the love for Arkansas? They knocked out a very good Florida State.

Hey, I agree! I discounted them myself! Even though they played well against FSU, I didn't expect them to come into the CWS and whoop up on anyone. They looked very good. Of course, none of my predictions have done very well.

Evidently, mine either.
Arkansas is getting drilled tonight.

GO HORNS, bring home the BIG one!!!! GED10DaD

I'm going with either Texas or LSU. Just a hunch!

Tigers win! Congrats, they played like champions... they deserved it! GED10DaD

Congratulations to LSU----great win

As for the ACC I guess they are not as strong as some people think

Congrats to LSU!! Geaux Tigres!



I dunno about the ACC - 2 in the top 8 isn't bad.

While my original two picks didn't make it to the finals, I think the best two teams did!! Great series and LSU deserves to be the champ! Congrats to the Tigers!!

I am kind of surprised not too many people commented on the final game and the winners.

My hats off to Paul Manieri, what a great job he has done with a powerhouse program that began to take a nose dive before he came, that's a great accomplishment.

Although the team I was rooting for to make the finals and win didn't, I am happy that the ACC conference was able to have 2 out of the 8 participating teams and has done so in the past couple of years. That says a lot about the conference so not sure about the comment that it isn't a strong conference.

I hope that you all get to Omaha one day, it doesn't have to be just to watch your player play, but to feel and experience the ultimate baseball college experience live and in person, inside and outside of teh stadium. It is very inspiring for your young players and motivational as well.

I agree with you wholeheartedly TPM.
