We beat ourselves, but the plate umpire was very inconsistent. He made bad calls against ND too. But he missed quite a few pretty bad, he didn’t cost us the game but it didn’t help any. 3-4 badly toned calls can change the momentum of a game. That’s all right we come out all business tomorrow and Sunday we will be going to Omaha! GBO!

they’re Pac-12 umpires that should never happen no matter what the calls look like

The ump wasn't anti Tennessee, he was just a moron. I hope he is even enough to go back and look at the pitch and realize he tossed a kid from supers for two games and it resulted in a pitching coach being gone all because he truly made a bad call.

Ncaa and sports as a whole needs that level of accountability from officiating. Bad calls happen. Own them. Learn from them and apologize for the mistake. That's it.

Ok I’m off the ledge I think.

But before I completely jump back into letting myself get hurt again.. Is their ace that’s pitching today left handed?

Notre Dame’s game two starter will be their ace, lefty John Michael Bertrand. He began his college career as a walk-on at Furman and has become an all-american as a 5th year senior in South Bend. He doesn’t have elite stuff, but throws a low 90s fastball, a cutter to jam right-handed hitters, a 2-seamer that breaks away from right-handed hitters and a slider. Over the last two seasons, he’s thrown 25.2 innings in the NCAAT, giving 7 runs on 24 hits, while striking out 20 and walking 3.

Applying a new standard the last three weeks of the season is the epitome of bias. If the NCAA didn't like it, they should have informed UT before they spent the whole season doing it. You cannot change the rules at the end without intentionally targeting an outcome.

The NCAA better be careful because there are a lot worse things than mustard bottles and range balls. They keep showing negative bias to an already unhinged fanbase based on the past two decades of results and sooner or later something serious is going to happen and that isn't going to benefit UT or the NCAA.

Ironically, I agree that the team needs to dial it down a notch. Rather than just celebrating, they have allowed it to become a distraction. But informally changing the rules at the last minute and using the umps to do it ain't kosher.
