CANNOT. WAIT.

Always a joy to have @MikeMonaco_ on the show to preview the Men’s College World Series!

[Dugouts, Dumbells, & Dingers @3DDingers]

We are just 2⃣ days away from the @CWSOmaha, so you know it's time to get @MikeMonaco_ back on the pod!

He details his thoughts from Chapel Hill and Athens, previews the #MCWS field, and helps us break some special news!

@LouisOliverio It’s up to TV, so the NCAA has to wait for ESPN to let them know. Got announced around Noon today which is actually early for them, so that’s good!

[David Kahn @SportsKahn4]

We also have the full left side of the bracket set, with these Friday Round 1 matchups:

WVU vs. Troy (likely 2pm game) - 2 first timers at the MCWS

UNC vs. Ole Miss (likely 7pm game) - 2 mainstays (UNC back 2nd time in 3 years, Ole Miss returns first time since ‘22 title run)

THE OMAHA EIGHT!

#MCWS x #RoadToOmaha

[David Kahn @SportsKahn4]

And that seals it - 5 SEC teams in Omaha - the most of any conference EVER in CWS history.

We will have at least 1 SEC team in the finals - meaning they will have a chance to extend their championship streak (6)

This is an insane nugget - annual reminder to follow @_robanderson for the best insight from Omaha there is numbers-wise

Guy is a WIZARD

Entering 2026, Texas has played in 38 Men's College World Series.

The other 7 teams headed to Omaha will have played in a combined...
42 (if it's Oklahoma & St. John's)
41 (if it's Oklahoma & Alabama)
32 (if it's Kansas & St. John's)
31 (if it's Kansas & Alabama)

[David Kahn @SportsKahn4]

*1 game on Saturday - no clue which one will be first - both of these will be JUICY

[David Kahn @SportsKahn4]

As for the right side of the bracket, Texas and Georgia will meet in Game 1 Saturday, while the winners of Kansas-Oklahoma and Alabama-St. John’s will be the other matchup

This sets the stage for potentially a full SEC Saturday in Omaha - wild!

[David Kahn @SportsKahn4]

It would also be just the 2nd time ever since this current tournament format was adopted that we would have only one Game 3 (2004)

[David Kahn @SportsKahn4]

Monday Supers Update:

6 tickets locked in for Omaha (3 SEC, 1 Big 12, 1 ACC, 1 Sun Belt)

2 left (both resuming Game 2s today) - Bama up 5 late (12pm start), Oklahoma up 7 early (1pm start)

If these results hold, we’ll have 5 SEC teams in Omaha for the first time ever.

[David Kahn @SportsKahn4]

A year after winning Game 1 and losing their own Super Regional, Carolina flips the script on USC and is headed back to Omaha as the lone rep of the ACC

5 tickets punched - 3 to go
