With TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha being a bigger field than most of the college baseball stadiums I'm hoping that gives a team like ours an advantage with deep pitching, solid defense and a lot of speed.

6/11/2013 6:00:11 PM

Avent has already told the guys to forget trying to hit homers and just take what we can get.

I know it's only been there 2 years, but I think there hasn't be a HR to center yet at TD Ameritrade Park.

Will "Wheelchair Kid" Privette not allowed to travel to Omaha

yeah a game thread for each game would be fun, but we can't change it up now

6/11/2013 6:46:08 PM

^^boo hoo always wanting a hand out.

6/11/2013 7:14:23 PM

^^^ This is only a problem if other non-essential staff are going on the charter.

6/11/2013 7:17:27 PM

Im sure some alum will pay rollpack's way.

Also LOL at the UNC SS talking junk to Scotty McCreery on twitter.

what an idiot.

6/11/2013 7:34:12 PM

What's worse is Walmart nation insulting the guy and then the haughty bible thumpers getting on him for having a pulse.

Dude can't win.

6/11/2013 8:24:48 PM

Can't win, eh?

Yeah that App State thread would have been fucking five star.

I think this "Rank 'EM" gimmick on ESPN's website is a good indication of our popularity nationwide. Currently we are in last. Hopefully we change that perception this year.

I just realized that UNC baseball's official twitter feed is under @DiamondHeels

pretty ~ twitter handle

6/12/2013 2:37:40 PM

The team is safely in Omaha.

6/12/2013 6:36:11 PM

^^^4th in 1st place votes though

6/12/2013 7:21:38 PM

UCLA is clearly the worst team in the field.

But the poll has over 10000 votes and im pretty sure there arent 10000 people who actually pay attention enough to college baseball to know that.

6/13/2013 6:23:30 AM

Why hasn't there been a TWW poll skew yet? Very disappointed, we are losing our touch.

The comments with the poll are comical.

6/13/2013 8:39:00 AM

regional and super regional highlights, courtesy of debbie yow's actually competent athletics office.



looking at highlights of the super regional... it's really incredible that we won those games.

6/14/2013 2:35:20 AM

Some of those comebacks were reminiscent of watching the 30 for 30 special on the 83 basketball team

6/14/2013 3:16:53 AM

except they called #7 a double play. but that's ok. a good video of the cardiac pack over the last two weeks. let's do this!

6/14/2013 7:49:02 AM

The highlight was those damn jerseys.

6/14/2013 8:07:00 AM

god i hope Adidas and the athletic department made a rush to get some kind of retail version of that jersey on the racks in Omaha. it'll be a day one purchase for me if so.

...but let's not tear any ligaments

6/14/2013 9:03:45 AM

Bet Armstrong was really leaning into some pitches if it was only a wiffle ball

6/14/2013 9:08:53 AM

they probably sandbagged until it was almost dark and then scored 4 runs to win

Can't quite tell from the window at my office, but it looks like there is something red draped over the Sir Walter Raleigh statue infront of the convention center.

Baseball jersey maybe? Can anyone confirm or deny?

EDIT:
Just checked Twitter.

And

Wadhead confirmed

That rules. Where was that posted?

6/14/2013 12:03:43 PM

Facebook.

6/14/2013 12:20:54 PM

I gathered that from the link.

6/14/2013 12:33:42 PM

Then why did you ask?

6/14/2013 7:38:09 PM

Don't those guys know that you have to duct tape that wiffle ball. They its home run city... All day errday. And you can also throw it at someone to get them out and it stings like a son bitch.

6/14/2013 8:14:02 PM

Sir Walter would be such a badass without the fupa pants.

6/14/2013 8:19:34 PM

^^^ Because there are many accounts on Facebook, some of which (NCSU-related fan pages) are easier to view or share from than others (Wadhead1's friend Butthead1). But, you know, condescension is cool too.

6/14/2013 10:11:52 PM

Except it's posted here, so there's obviously not a problem sharing it.

6/14/2013 10:15:10 PM

Linking to a picture on Facebook rather than sharing it results in a tiny thumbnail and doesn't really give any credit to the photographer. Not that this is fine art, but it's something I prefer to do. Should I continue to explain my simple question further or is that enough for you to deem it worthy of being asked?

6/14/2013 10:23:56 PM

I can't tell which kids are the state players in that video. Little pussy state players. Maybe they should learn to hit baseballs, cuz ya know, state can't hit

[Edited on June 15, 2013 at 2:21 AM. Reason : I'll call them "we" after we win]

same here.

let's do this

6/15/2013 2:06:43 PM

I didn't like Avent talking so much during that press conference with Fox sitting mext to him. I don't think he's helping us get favor from the townies.

6/15/2013 2:42:50 PM

Haha wow this Spencer guy is a huge douche, where did he come from?

6/15/2013 8:03:31 PM

this Indiana pitcher is a douche with all his pickoff moves
