Or perhaps "Dawg Day", hopefully. And I suppose it's really more of an evening thing, but, either way, we've got an all Bulldog College World Series Championship Series coming up tonight at 7:00 ET (ESPN 2). Georgia and Fresno State, Vegas' two long-shots to win it all, have defied all odds this tournament. Fresno State has been particularly surprising. No Regional 4 seed had ever made it to Omaha, let alone the Championship Series, but I'm sincerely hoping their luck starts to run out tonight. On top of that, I'm not sure anyone could have predicted the "Big Browns" Miami, North Carolina, and Florida State dropped on us this CWS. I certainly didn't, but then I'm obviously not saying I'm all that disappointed either.
For various reasons, seeing my Dawgs take down the Heels would have been a bit sweeter, there's no denying that, but then I naturally have to like Georgia's chances against Fresno better. Despite how hot both of these teams are right now, it's inevitable that something's got to give, and the law of averages suggests it should be the "Underdogs to Wonderdogs" from out west. How many "superior" opponents can they continue to best? We'll see...
Flordia State and Standord open things up tomorrow at 2:00 pm ET, while Georgia and tournament favroite Miami occupy the night game slot at 7:00. Both games can be seen on ESPN, and you can find the complete College World Series TV schedule here courtesy of Rivals. You can also find team breakdowns, hisotry and analysis here.
I'll obviously be pulling hard for my beloved Dawgs, who'll be seeking their 2nd Baseball National Championship, but it sure as hell isn't going to be easy for them to taste glory this time around. Hopefully Miami will pull a "Big Brown" tonight, or maye Georgia can at least carry the momentum from their Super Regional win against N.C. State over to Omaha (Chuck Amato...?). Prospects like the Dawgs' Gordon Beckham (.401, 26 homers and 72 RBIs), the #8 overall pick in this year's MLB Draft to the White Sox, and Miami's Yonder Alonso (.367, 23 homers, 71 RBIs), who went 7th overall to the Reds, should make this game enjoyable even for the neutral spectator.
Oh yeah, Miami had two other guys taken in the first round as well: Jemile Weeks, Rickie's little brother (#12 overall, Oakland), and reliever Carlos Gutierrez (#27 to the Twins). No wonder they're favorites to win it all. Georgia actually had another 1st rounder this year in closer Josh Fields (#20 to Seattle). I just hope they get a chance to use him. A couple other first round picks to check out are Florida State catcher Buster Posey (.460, 26 homers, 92 RBIs (!), #5 to the Giants), and Stanford's very own backstop, Jason Castro (.379, 13 homers, 69 RBIs, #10 to Houston). The draft talent obvoiusly runs much deeper than the first round too, so the names mentioned here are really just the tip of the iceberg.
Fresno State, the other Bulldogs making their way out to Omaha, could present a nice little storyline as well. Having become the first Regional 4 Seed to reach the College World Series, it should be interesting to see how they fare now. Of course, if you follow the general idea that Vegas knows best, at least more often than not, things don't look particularly good for either squad of Bulldogs this year...
Some slight differences there I suppose, but it's clear we should be expecting, as unfortunate as it is, a Miami vs UNC championship game. Of course, in College Baseball, with metal bats, kids high on emotion, playing for glory instead of money, etc., etc., etc...you never know.
Jones allegedly made it rain more than previously thought in connection with the Vegas shootings that led to his 2007 suspension. Reports are out indicating that the troubled corner had over $15,000 extorted from him by Arvin Kenti Edwards, a man now in custody in connection with the shootings at Vegas' Harlem Knights strip club. Apparently Edwards threatened Jones and his family, and went through the former West Virginia star's friends and relatives in order to secure the payments for "services rendered". Jones flew to Seattle earlier to identify Edwards as the gunman and extortioner and continues to maintain that he had no role in the actual shootings whatsoever.
More details in the link, but, all in all, I'd say $15,000 was a bargain under the circumstances, and apparently Jones has been cooperating with the authorities for quite some time now, which is good. Nevertheless, it seems a bit unclear how this may affect Pacman's path to being reinstated by the league. Was this simply "hush money", or something connected to the investigation, or maybe just money Jones genuinely believed was necessary to ensure his family's safety? Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how all this pans out.
Either that or she's just jealous, and jealousy is a bitch. A bitch that has the body of an adolescent boy.
Yep, apparently Paris and Kim have had a bit of a falling out. Reports indicate that Paris recently called into a Las Vegas radio show to vent about her former friend and fellow celebutart (patent pending); And Kim's ass (patent approved).
I don't know about you, but I perk up at the prospect of hearing Paris Hilton discuss her feelings on Kim Kardashian's rump. Unfortunately, this wasn't that kind of discourse. Paris apparently called Kardashian "disgusting", and described that (ass)et of hers as "cottage cheese stuffed in a trash bag." Naturally I became quite upset upon hearing this, which is why Frumpzilla has decided to champion Ms. Kardashian's cause, and her junk, after the jump...
Well, we finally made it. This one's for all the marbles. Will Bill Self finally clip the choker he's been wearing for the past 8 years? Will John Calipari provide the punchline for the whole "we get no respect" routine? Will either one of them win their first NCAA Championship? Will either of them wear a tie that coordinates with their team's colors? We'll see...
Yep, sadly Stephen Curry, his pal "The White Lobster", and the rest of the Davidson Wildcats didn't quite make this one. Don't let that get you down though. This Final Four is primed to be one of the best in recent memory. CBS should be able to milk more melodrama out of this one than an entire season of "As the World Turns". This year's "One Shining Moment" could be special...
Wrapping up the Elite Eight this afternoon, and Frumpzilla has its fingers crossed for a North Carolina-Davidson rematch in the Final Four. You never know...
Slimmer slate as we prepare to find out who the first two Final Four teams will be this year. Less work for us though, and no, Davidson plays TOMORROW...
The nation's wait is over: We finally get to watch Steph Curry and the Davidson Wildcats play again. Okay, let's be honest: We finally get to watch Steph Curry play again...
Yep, there's some good games on tonight, but I'd rather be watching Steph Curry and Davidson trying to clip Wisconsin. Nevertheless, here's a brief, unprofessional look at the Sweet 16 games slated for this evening.
