Great choice of Tab, cover, good stuff. And great comments, Sully did a good job and it was our time. I thought his comments in the presser gave good insight into the team and his thought process. Also, since they just won it, he seemed more relaxed and relieved so he just talked.

Their fans are having a meltdown over that douchebag slide into second base and their runner being called back to 3rd.

I never had a strong opinion of LSU. Always seemed like a healthy, fun rivalry. But this past year has placed them up there on the pedestal with Fsu, UT, and UGA.

Some good stuff in there. Thanks for sharing Brad. Check out this gem from from poster ''la birdman''.

''He was still in the baseline. He didn't maliciously put up his spikes to hurt the player.

He slid right into the base.''

He never attempted to slide to the bag and the SS was out of the base path so slaughter had to go out of his was to slide into him. It was the right call, but in fairness, I would be bitching about it if the shoe was on the other foot. Soooo....let em bitch. That can stop by and look at the trophy when they come over for their ass whipping in Oct.

With skills like that, la birdman will be getting some offers to join the ranks of investigative journalism.

If by "base" he means Guthrie's leg, then he would be 100% correct.

He basically kicked Guthrie with his spikes. Something like that usually gets a heater in the rig cage the next time he steps to the dish.

lswho fans don't disappoint. They're completely delusional.

Some are swearing he was aiming for the bag.

Sully haters can stfu now!

I resemble that remark! :snicker:

In all seriousness, congrats to Sully for getting over the hump. I've been critical of him for not winning it in years past and said this was his year to either get it done or move on. I'm glad to say he shut me up. Let's hope this is the first of many baseball nattys for us!

F LSU and their fans. Ever since their asshat AD whined about the football game being postponed due to the hurricane last Oct and having us play our home game in their stadium which we happened to win we have kicked their asses in basketball, softball, and baseball. LSU is our new b•tch. Oh and by the way their mascot also died.

Seems it was split between the corndog crew over there. A lot of guys were saying he caught the bag but one poster put up pictures proving the guy just went for Guthrie instead of the bag.

Great back and forth quote here:

"quote:
Bottom line that call should never been made there!! Run scoring was not effected by that play. No call was the correct decision!!


You're probably right. Maybe next time slaughter can just run up and deck the short stop right as he throws.
No call as long as he gets the double play off."

:lol2:

I agree, said the same thing in an earlier post. I am going to call it the Hurricane Curse. These asshats are getting exactly what they deserve. We need to beat them at every turn, game, second, inning, quarter, and so on. And probably to top it off, they are going to be stuck with Orgeron for a while. LSUck will be the new Gator's Bytch.

That's like saying holding shouldn't be called if the QB still gets sacked or a foul shouldn't be called if the shooter still makes the shot.

Great finish to the season for Gator sports capped off by the historic first Gator baseball NCAA title. Women's tennis won it all, softball made the championship series, men's outdoor track won it all and so did baseball. :woohoo: I just wish they would do better in the fall sports.

The parallels between OU softball and Gator baseball are amazing. Both struggled in the regionals and super regionals. Neither looked like championship teams. But once both teams hit their strides in the championship series they couldn't lose. Sports is funny that way. Gator baseball should be really good next year as well. Hope they can find the magic again.

After past CWS disappointments with some very good Gator teams, I never thought I would see this happen. Those guys are the epitome of what the word "team" means and I am so glad they are Gators. Great job Coach O!
