But, I am betting Ed D a little happier and very pleased the Vanderbilt University Commodores defeated a very good University of Virginia Cavalier baseball team to claim the NCAA Division 1 baseball championship. Although, I do not usually qualify as a Vandy fan this week I was. Congrats to Vandy and Ed D.
I thought they should have just given the series to them after the 9 run inning in the first game. I was surprised the Cavs managed to make it a close game.
UVA is a very good baseball team, they had a terrible inning and still almost won the game. The Cavs don't have to take a back seat to anyone. It will be interesting (more so I hope) next year with the new ball and I hope they make some more changes to bring the long ball back.
Sure enjoyed CWS real baseball I don't like pro sports but get into college . I am a UT fan hard to rut for Dores but I did. Just wonder if Dores can keep The coach he a great baseball coach.
No, I agree. Most teams would have just folded mentally after that trouncing. The fact that they almost tied it was very impressive.Quote:

I have to admit that I have never considered Vandy to be a seat of bowling excellence.
All that aside, Vandy has made a genuine commitment to baseball and their coach is, obviously, excellent. He is from New England. I wonder if he fly fishes...
Kudos to the Cavs who are nobody patsies in any sport or endeavor.
Regards,
Ed
I understand your feelings, had Ole Miss made it to the finals I most likely would not have watch and cannot conceive of pulling for them, although my brother the LSU fan did.Quote:
