Bam, game over!!! 6-1, DEVILS WIN!!!

I hope Baylor can win the next game, for two reasons. 1. So that whoever comes out of that bracket will be just as tired as ASU for the potential championship series. And, 2. Because if Baylor loses, the ASU game tomorrow would be a night game that I wouldnt be able to see cause Ill be in class.

:thumbup: I am hoping for that, too.

It depends on what happens in tonights game.

If Baylor wins, then we have two games tomorrow at the same time. ASU v Florida playing the early game. If Baylor loses, Texas advances and ASU v FLorida will start at 7 Eastern/6Central/4 Arizona time.

Wow, those Sun Devils are playing some good, inspired ball.

Coming from the guy who said we would have been swept from the Fullerton regional if we were there. :p

They pointed out today that ASU has won its day games and not the night games thus far... not that baseball fans are superstitious or anything. This was a very nice game, and I am hoping for another one tomorrow, whatever time it plays.

GO SUN DEVILS!!

oh snap!

haha, as a UofA guy it pains me, but as a sports fan, it's amazing to watch.

What's a shame is the Cats lost alot of talent to the draft this season, so I fear this year was a great chance for them.

I know some people get tired of Murphy telling them the college landscape has changed hugely in the past 20 years, but it has, and Greenmachine points to one problem. Way fewer scholarships are available, too. Selection procedures for the tournament are often unfavorable to certain conferences.

Heck, ASU had recruited two or three stud HS pitchers for next year that got drafted and signed in the first two rounds this year. If Larish and Urquidez had signed last year as expected, no way this team could be here now, and Urk dropped 6 rounds as a result. I guess Averill and one of the relievers are debating about whether to return or not. (Since Averill was described as 'Very Average' by one scouting site, he may want to ride this out another year.) If Pedroia had stayed, this trip might have been a bit easier - but a guy like him had a limited shelf life as a high pick, and he had to take the opportunity.

You have to think games like these - the sheer determination and the fun they obviously have - will sway some youngsters, at least for the next year or two, just as U of A and Lopez attracted more kids after last year. Who wouldn't love to play this kind of baseball?

I rooted for U of A last year when they outlasted ASU (and I think Lopez is a very good coach), and as far as I'm concerned, when they aren't going head-to-head, it's about Arizona - the state - being represented well, not one school or another.

That is very mature of you. I however, am not the same way. My two favorite college teams are: 1. ASU, 2. Whoever is playing UofA

Of course, I did a little time as a Grad student at both schools, so I'm a half-breed, perhaps. I tend to think Pac-10 uber alles, and I hate those smug southeastern schools.

Man, this 4:00 start time is killing me. I feel like I should be listening to the third inning right now.
