It would be fun to have an all Tennessee final.

Absolutely! The in-state rivalry on college baseball's grandest stage.

But let’s hope Vandy and all these games you have listed go to extra innings and they wear out all their pitchers.

I guess I'm just wired differently, but I want no success for that school down on West End at all. Would not bother me in the least for them to get beat 15-0 in 2 games and go home. I want their team bus to have a flat some where in the middle of Iowa and Corbin have to walk 12 miles to a town only to find out that the service station is closed and will not reopen until 7 the next morning. And there are no vacancies at whatever Podunk motel there is within 50 miles. But that's just me.

I’m with you bud, I hope Arizona puts the hurt on them!
GBO!!

And pure hell - for each side - to lose it.

 

[MiramarVol]

It would be nice to see Tennessee listed in the OP.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Come on Zona!!!

 

[golfballs]

I’d prefer to see NC State in the final

 

[TN_gal]

It would be nice to see Tennessee listed in the OP.

Tennessee has its own game discussion thread here The Official #3 Tennessee vs Virginia College World Series Game 1 Thread (SUNDAY AT 2PM EST)

I’ll add the link to the OP.

It's time! What a long week.

Love the CWS.

 

[TN_gal]

Looking forward to Bracket #1 today. Both games are intriguing matchups.

AZ offense vs Rocker is an interesting matchup.

Looking forward to seeing how real the Wildcats are.

 

[BallerVolFan]

How good does it feel watching the opening round of the CWS knowing our team has a chance to win it all.... This is gonna be fun. Looking forward to enjoying some high level baseball and a win tomorrow!

Go Trees!

[golfballs]

Are those two relievers from Arizona still suspended?

 

[golfballs]

I don’t think NC state has the pitching to come back from the losers bracket. Important for them to win game 1

 

[Volunteer08]

Finally some CWS action! I want to see some orange in the stands!

 

[Volunteer08]

AZ offense vs Rocker is an interesting matchup.

Looking forward to seeing how real the Wildcats are.

If Vandy get’s knocked off, I’m gonna cheers with a beer and sleep like a little lamb tonight

 

[MAD]

Go Wolfpack or Go Cardinals?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Is it 110 degrees in Omaha yet? I've seen where it's to be very hot & dry.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

That is quite a sparse crowd for Game #1. I'll be interested to see if Tennessee fans end up filling the stadium for our game.
