The only thing bandwagon-like about NC State athletics are the opposing fans and sports writers who like to kick us when we are down (which admittedly is often). I think we all know who fits that category.

I dig the shirt with the baseball bats. May have to get me one of those

6/10/2013 3:11:07 PM

who knows if unc or uva gets their games in, I want to know so I can get tickets and flights to at least be able to go to the first game we play. Been a dream to go there, this is the perfect time!

Baseball band-wagoner here, no shame.

I think a lot of us who live far away from Raleigh are band-wagoners by default. I can't really watch the baseball team on TV until the ACC Tourney and beyond. That said, I watched every inning of every game the past couple of weeks, so I'm making up for time lost.

I used to go to games all the time back in college (02--06). Those were the Joey Devine, Vern Sterry, Mike Rogers, Matt Camp, Aaron Bates days. Lots of good times at the Doak. Now good times on the couch. Roll Pack.

Would love to see as many ACC teams get in as possible. At first I was excited to see FSU shut the bed, then later I resented them for it.

Still glad we've made it further than 4 of the top 8 seeds, with 3 more facing elimination.

The Carolina/Carolina game is now postponed until noon tomorrow.

6/10/2013 4:06:35 PM

i really glad FSU got trounced. the rest, i'd like to see the rest of them make it.

6/10/2013 4:06:42 PM

i have no interest in seeing carolina win another game.

6/10/2013 4:10:15 PM

^

But it has to happen. North or South Carolina

6/10/2013 4:14:21 PM

Put some faith in our team. I would love to be the ones to punch UNC's ticket home.

6/10/2013 4:16:57 PM

Still in a state of shock. I'll be heading to Omaha. Hope we that first day of games.

6/10/2013 4:41:31 PM

yeah, i suppose i'm just going to go ahead and book and hope we play on Saturday/Monday

6/10/2013 5:33:05 PM

why dont you just go friday-tuesday?

6/10/2013 6:25:02 PM

I saw a lot State fans out and about today. It was tough, but I resisted the urge to jump in their faces and do my WOOT WOOT! GO PACK! dance.

The last time I did that, the guy had some sort of cognitive disability, and I kinda freaked him out.

WOOT WOOT! GO PACK!

6/10/2013 7:37:09 PM

Don't think it's been posted yet, but awesome celebration video: http://northcarolinastate.scout.com/2/1298663.html

ripping "1968" signs off of the lockers. classic.

6/10/2013 8:42:45 PM

Like the multiple view points. Love the players running over to the fans.

6/10/2013 9:22:35 PM

^^^ LOL

6/10/2013 9:29:23 PM

^^Yep. The team did that after winning the 08 Regional and last year's. They didn't do it this year after winning the Regional because they expected to do so and acted like they were just taking care of business by advancing. Last night was pure party mode at Doak.

6/10/2013 10:58:05 PM

Did i see the Roll Pack kid in that video?

6/10/2013 11:21:32 PM

^yes

6/10/2013 11:22:19 PM

State will open at 3PM on Sunday vs UNC/USC

[Edited on June 10, 2013 at 11:22 PM. Reason : eastern]

6/10/2013 11:22:35 PM

Thank you UNC for screwing up the bracket.

6/10/2013 11:28:17 PM

Works for me. Ill be there 20-22 so it means I get to catch an extra game from our bracket

Pretty sure I read somewhere that he is a statistics analyzer or some such for the baseball team.

6/11/2013 12:15:51 AM

^Correct. He gets all the stats on our opponents and gives them to the coaches.

6/11/2013 1:21:42 AM

I had a gut feeling we'd be playing on Sunday. Just couldn't see them giving the #1 seed 2 days rest if they win.

So sat-Wednesday trip for me.

6/11/2013 6:34:52 AM

holy hell, playing on Sunday was actually a blessing. cheaper airfare, snagged a good room 3 miles from the stadium.

6/11/2013 7:57:47 AM

Bring it on UNC.

OUR STATE

6/11/2013 3:09:46 PM

this should be amazing. can not wait.

6/11/2013 3:16:33 PM

I'm sick just thinking about this, NC STATE SHIT lying in wait

6/11/2013 3:19:08 PM

OMAHA IS R STATE !!!!!1!!!

6/11/2013 3:21:51 PM

everyone knows how this is going to end

18 inning classic?


kent emanuel with 240 pitches over 10 day period. curious to see if we see Hobbs Johnson in game one sent he went out early on Saturday

6/11/2013 3:48:35 PM

18 inning classic loss?

6/11/2013 3:51:37 PM

oh i remember the outcome. but it was still a fantastic game.

that being said, i like our chances in game 1 with a well rested team.

6/11/2013 3:53:45 PM

6/11/2013 4:12:11 PM

I know at the beginning of the season it was suggested to do a game thread for all the game, and was promptly shot down. I think game thread for the CWS is completely appropriate. Just a thought. Someone can insult me if they think its stupid.

[Edited on June 11, 2013 at 4:41 PM. Reason : ]

6/11/2013 4:41:04 PM

meh the thread has come this far. does it really matter?

6/11/2013 4:47:50 PM

yeah, don't jinx it.

6/11/2013 4:49:33 PM

I've never watched the CWS before. So is the format like the regionals, where the survivor of a four-team double elimination play advances?

6/11/2013 4:54:47 PM

^yup, pretty much

6/11/2013 5:00:53 PM

yes? or pretty much?

6/11/2013 5:04:23 PM

yes. with the two bracket winners facing off in a best of 3 series for the championship

6/11/2013 5:09:32 PM

^^yes, because it is exactly like that until you get down to two teams...which is why I put pretty much, because then those two teams play a best of 3 for the championship. I guess I shoulda just posted that in the first place

6/11/2013 5:24:21 PM

Scotty McCreery talking shit with the UNC catcher on Twitter. #ThisIsOurBojanglesTown

For the CWS Bracket: http://www.ncaa.com/interactive-bracket/baseball/d1

The neutrals in Omaha usually cheer for the teams who haven't been there much. They might outweigh the Omaha UNC basketball bandwagon fans who decided they like baseball today.
