USC Baseball is the winningest team in CWS history, with 12 National Championships. They haven’t made it back since 2001, and got 2 outs away today, but couldn’t hang on.

[SEC Baseball @SECbaseball]

The two SEC squads eliminated in supers, both by fellow SEC teams, have to be gutted.

For Auburn, that's the third straight season it's been eliminated on its home turf, with the last two coming in a super as a top 4 seed.
The silver lining is that Butch has already gotten the Tigers to Omaha 2x, so it's not as if it's a looming hurdle Auburn can't clear. This was the 5th super in the past 8 seasons, and I'd be shocked if they aren't continually in the mix.

For Mississippi State, it had an 8th inning lead in game 1, and a 9th inning lead in game 2, against arguably the best team in the country, but couldn't close out either game. Those two will sting for a while.
But on the whole, I think the O'Connor era at State is about to take off. I believe it was @Mike_Rooney who used the Dan Hurley "if you're gonna get em, you better get em now" line, which feels spot on.

[Aria Gerson @aria_gerson]

For those unfamiliar…a 3-game super with walk-offs in BOTH the first two games AND game 3 went to extras.

10 combined runs in the ninth inning between the games.

8 future MLB players!

How quickly people forget about the Vanderbilt/Mississippi State super in 2018…

@AdamVingan @Boyd_1212 @gcotham21 Or what the Sabres tried for 14ish years. Chicago is trying it but looks like they're floundering. Devils have had some false starts.

I'm not necessarily against it, but I think baking in "guaranteed 1st overall" is sorta slanting the responses.

[Patrick Sawyer @PatrickS615]

@Boyd_1212 @AdamVingan @gcotham21 @1025TheGame Then some rebuilds stretch for a decade+. I know it's contingent on the front office, but it's also hard in general. How "down to the studs" are we talking? Everyone 25+ without NMC/NTC and try to get all of them to waive their protection? Or do you keep some like Josi, Fil, etc?

[Patrick Sawyer @PatrickS615]

@AdamVingan @gcotham21 @1025TheGame But that's sorta why the "sell everyone and tank as hard as possible" plan is generally opposed. You can't guarantee a #1. And, if you do, a single elite player with too much pressure and not enough help is as likely to be Eichel in Buffalo or Lafrenière for NYR

63 federal courts threw out all of Trump’s BS claims.
All of them. The Supreme Court rejected all of Trump’s BS claims. He now screams and cuts off interviews because he constantly lies about elections being rigged. He’s projecting again.

My guy @tate_merbitz WON the Punt comp and made the Finals in the FG comp at @VandyFootball camp today. #AnchorDown

To underscore how nutty last night was, I hit my post limit for the first time on this cursed app and was unable to send this vital communique.

[Auric, Originator of the Vanderbilt Doom Loop @AuricGoldfnger]

Probably the one ending with this play.

[Patrick Sawyer @PatrickS615]

Ohhhh booooy

[Greg Wyshynski @wyshynski]

That was the fastest 3 goals by one team ever in a Stanley Cup Final game -- 39 seconds, topping the previous record of 56 seconds in Game 2 of the 1954 Final.

[Patrick Sawyer @PatrickS615]

REALLY interesting!

[Patrick Sawyer @PatrickS615]

Oookay Carolina. Making this interesting at least

[Patrick Sawyer @PatrickS615]

@TreyDores Prayers for her. Love her reaction to it.

[Patrick Sawyer @PatrickS615]

Oookay Carolina. Making this interesting at least

[Patrick Sawyer @PatrickS615]

@Sanderzzz_ Yeah. I've seen a large handful of posts from their fans about Carolina being lucky these goals were overturned. Both goals in this game were cut and dry. Not luck if the other team breaks the rules to score
