Hail State! Beat those Beavers up!

Once again...

I always said,"Eat a Beaver and save a tree"....NEVER< EVER beat or mistreat a Beaver.

 

[Red_Alert]

First team out?

I say Louisville

 

[NativeWebfoot]

I think it's possible to have unseeded UCLA vs #3 OR St for the series championship games. Couldn't get any better than that.

 

[Kid Vicarious]

First team out?

I say Louisville

I say nebraska

 

[geneh_33]

I say nebraska

I don't care who the first team out is as long as it isn't UNC. We haven't been playing our best ball lately, that's for sure.

 

[Red_Alert]

I say nebraska

ya gotta be in before ya can be out, dipstick

 

[Kid Vicarious]

ya gotta be in before ya can be out, dipstick

That's what she said.

So I'd heard that a team was arriving yesterday which I found odd because they usually don't get in til' today. Tomorrow is fan day where playeers sign autographs en sech and they do the opening ceremony with fireworks.
Anyway the team that arrived early is Cinderella (Indiana). Cinderella usuallly has it the toughest because they're not used to the environment, the attention, or playing in front of 26,000 people. I assume the coach wants to give his players a day to get used to the doting and settle in. It'll be iintereesting to see if the strategy pays off.
The rest of the teams will arrive throughout today.

Can't hurt. Let them digest the environment and the excitement. I'm sure they'll have clearer heads when it's game time.

Also can't hurt from a coaches standpoint that they've already beaten Louisville in a series. If their first game was against someone they were unfamiliar with it would be added prep to go along with the SportsHoopla. You wanna avoid falling into the losers bracket right outta the gate.

Goes both ways tho. Both teams have seen each other and Indiana could have all that confidence. Baseball teams get better or worse as the season goes tho. Lville could use the lose as motivation to pay them back.

 

[Kid Vicarious]

Bold is my winner.


Game 1: Mississippi State (48-18) vs. No. 3 Oregon State (50-11)

Game 2: Indiana (48-14) vs. Louisville (51-12)

Game 3: NC State (49-14) vs. No. 1 North Carolina (56-10)

Game 4: UCLA (44-17) vs. No. 4 LSU (57-9)

Just looking at it from the Cinderella's point of view with the nerves and stars in their eyes stuff. The rest of the country doesn't get to see what we see here. The local media radio, tv, newspaper will be all over them having never been here. They'll be reminded of it over and over in every interview.
The national media just shows the games and a few quips here and there during.

Ok I gotcha. Yea you're absolutely right about that.

Game 4: UCLA (44-17) vs. No. 4 LSU (57-9)

All the above is good, but I'll throw in an upset in the UCLA vs LSU ballgame...3-1 UCLA Game1.
