c'mon guys, can't we have a little self respect and celebrate our likely clinching a super regional instead of complaining about a possible UNC win in our own teams thread?

i tried initially to keep the UNC talk in the "Chapel Hill loses" thread, but people complained about mythical "jinxes"

6/4/2013 1:06:30 AM

it seemed to jinx it twice tonight, lol

6/4/2013 1:09:56 AM

there used to be a "College Baseball" thread, but Jaybee PM'd the mods and had it removed, since it didn't deal with sports that Tennessee competed in

6/4/2013 1:11:29 AM

more like PMS'd the mods, AMIRITE?

6/4/2013 1:12:28 AM

more like GOLDEN CORRALLED THE MODS

6/4/2013 1:14:25 AM

wtf is going on in this thread


At the very least, just keep it to the Rice game. Thats the only other game that fkn matters to NC State Baseball at this point.

6/4/2013 1:23:14 AM

Raleigh Super Regional starts Friday.

All games start at 4pm.

6/4/2013 1:28:12 AM

The results of that game could matter if we advance and I'm sure there would have been much more discussion about the Rice/Oregon game if it was that close. Should someone have started a 2013 Carolina Baseball thread?

Sorry, forgot the guy that showed up to this thread a week ago was calling the shots.

6/4/2013 2:50:00 AM

4pm? fuck, looks like i'll miss the rodon start

unless we hold him for saturday again since he's used to it

6/4/2013 2:50:08 AM

Got my Super Regional tickets. Let's Go Pack!

6/4/2013 5:30:11 AM

^just for info, how much was the book of tickets?

6/4/2013 6:48:38 AM

$40 dollar bucks per seat (includes all games)

$10 one-time transaction fee no matter how many tickets you bought. Mine were in section 1 so I'm doubtful there will be many if any left for non-WPC general public.

6/4/2013 7:03:06 AM

^ thanks, I figure there wont be any left today at 5. I doubt I will be able to go anyways

6/4/2013 7:30:05 AM

Think we'll use the same pitching rotation we used last weekend? I like having Rodon for Saturday, to either close it out or to save the series.

6/4/2013 7:49:10 AM

well what are the chances that Rodon can pitch some relief in game 3 (if we need him) if he starts game 1?

If he cant do that, then I think pitching game 2 would be the best option

6/4/2013 7:56:22 AM

Hope this doesn't turn out like the last two opportunities State had to play to advance and face Carolina in a round of eight.

6/4/2013 8:04:23 AM

i'm really glad we are playing at home but as someone posted a few pages ago Rice's stadium is pretty awesome.

6/4/2013 8:31:36 AM

so whats the rundown on Rice? They have a good baseball brandname, but I don't know anything about their team this year...

also when do we find out who we play (potentially) after Rice? Please tell me its not UNC

6/4/2013 8:34:37 AM

^It looks like UNC or South Carolina http://www.ncaa.com/interactive-bracket/baseball/d1

6/4/2013 8:37:35 AM

It's either North Carolina or South Carolina.

[Edited on June 4, 2013 at 8:40 AM. Reason : d'oh]

6/4/2013 8:38:36 AM

depending on who you ask its either Carolina or Carolina.

6/4/2013 8:41:21 AM

IF we make it past Rice, we are back in a 4 team group and it is double elimination just like the regional round. I am unsure who our first game will be against, but its not a 3 game series. The 4 teams in our group are our side of the bracket. So (UNC/USC) (NCSU/Rice) (Cal. St. Fulerton/UCLA) (LSU/OK) winners are all in one bracket for double elimination.

Hell the way the tarholes have been playing lately, they aren't going to make it by SC.

6/4/2013 9:08:05 AM

Go Pack Beat Rice


i want to go to Omaha!

6/4/2013 9:16:24 AM

reserved seats are sold out for the weekend. few hill tickets still available.

6/4/2013 9:24:38 AM

Baseball n00bs buying all the tickets before people who have been going to games all season can get any

6/4/2013 9:27:04 AM

Likely Rice fans buying all the tickets

6/4/2013 9:53:39 AM

I would assume you're being facetious. Tickets not on sale to general public until 5 today. Rice was given 600 tickets and return any not sold by 10am day of game. Only Wolfpack club members could buy this morning.

6/4/2013 10:00:31 AM

yea being a member of WPC has its perks occasionally.

"so whats the rundown on Rice? They have a good baseball brandname, but I don't know anything about their team this year..."

Rice has a REAL good pitching staff (Kubitza 8-4 2.02, Simms 8-4 2.61, and Stephens 8-4 2.48) that has pinned people down all year. Simms is coming off of his worst start of the year getting killed Sunday in the 11-0 loss and Stephens is coming off of a Carlos Rodon-esque complete game 2 hitter with 9 k's. Their closer is real good too (Lemond started last night and really only gave up 2 ER over 6.2 with 7 k's and has a 1.52 era with 14 saves). They also have a really streaky offence that goes hot and cold (usually cold this year). Watch out for Aquino and Ratterree who have 8 and 9 hr's respectively and both have over 40 RBI.

6/4/2013 10:41:44 AM

People on PP were talking about expanding the stadium in the future if we make it to the CWS. In the meantime I think it would be cool to do something similar to what Mississippi State does with their "Left Field Lounge", but in right field obviously.

NC State the only athletic program in the country to go to a bowl game in football, make it into the NCAA tournament in basketball, and host a Super Regional in baseball

6/4/2013 3:43:56 PM

we are also the only school to beat the #1 ranked team in football, baseball and basketball in the same calendar year, right?

nevermind, I thought Florida State was #1 when we beat them this year. I swear I heard Adam and Joe say that after we beat UNC in baseball

[Edited on June 4, 2013 at 3:57 PM. Reason : asdf]

6/4/2013 3:50:58 PM

^Please elaborate

6/4/2013 3:52:47 PM

^^FSU was #3 when we beat them in football, Duke was #1 when we beat them in basketball and UNC was #1 when we beat them in baseball. And it was in an academic year, not a calender year. But still a really good accomplishment. Really shows the state of athletics at State.
