Cocks took 2 of 3 on the road at Tenn.
USC had lost 8 games in a row at UT
prior to this series. Cocks hadn't won
a series against UT at UT since 1998 or 99.
Still top 10......w/ a #5 RPI. Hunting that
# 8 seed.
Ga Dawgs up next for a regular season
finale.
I hope they can somehow manage 2 wins in that series.
USC hasn't swept a team this year, including Clemson.
They've won a series or two however. :grinpimp:
 
Clemson went ahead and got game three giving them a series win. It bumped them up a couple spots in the polls as high as 14 now. C of C on tue and then NC St to close out the regular season. A few good wins and a solid ACC tourney and we should snag a regional anyway.
 
South Carolina vs Florida

It's tourney time. Tigers takes on the Canes
followed by Cocks and Gators.
Both games on weds this week.
Good luck to all and I hope for error free,
competitive games. USC really needs a strong SEC tourney
to get a shot at a good seed for the REAL tourney.

POST SCRIPT: I forgot to mention the great LAST regular
season game at Sarge Frye Field.
Down 13 to 2 the Cocks crept closer and closer until
the bottom of the 8th. 9 straight batters reached base
with NO outs. All 9 scored for an impossible comeback
14 to 13. I bet ol Sarge was looking down smiling at
the send-off the ol Yardbirds gave his namesake field.
Man, that was horrible...then....great to watch.
:cheers:

Tigers play the Canes on wed the Deacs on fri and the Noles on sat in the new screwed up ACC tourney format. Hopefully they have a strong showing they need to get 3 wins to make a serious regional host bid.
 
South Carolina sweeps Florida

WOW!!! That was two GREAT ballgames yesterday.
Tigers and Gamecocks win extra innings affairs over
the Canes and the Gators.
Two out bases loaded single wins it for USC and
bases loaded bunt wins it for CU.
Kudos for jobs well done! :cheers:
Cocks take on the Razorbacks this evening.
 
David, Marshall whats the bet for this weekends series? Bottle of Turkey vs some BBQ? Should be a good one up there in Chapel Hill. The Tigers will be heading to Miss St even though they have a better record, in a better conference, have a higher RPI, and are ranked higher, guess we didnt have enough $. Doesnt hurt the Miss St AD is also head of the selection committee. :flipoff2:
 
USC vs UNC in the post season is getting to be an annual affair.
Tarheels are due to win one of these faceoffs for Omaha.
Lots of incentives. I don't see either team sweeping this series.
Both clubs went undefeated in their regionals, as did Clemson.
USC vs UNC is in Chapel Hill and on ESPN starting Friday at 7:00.
UNC pitching has been super this year. USC leads nation in
homeruns. Good matchups.
 
Our game is live on ESPN at 11 CT aka Noon for us east coasters. Unfortunately I will be at work but I might need a long lunch break in downtown Clemson followed by the radio broadcast the rest of the way. Clemson vs the winner of USC/UNC if we can win so we all have something to look forward to.
 
Tarheels played like champions this weekend.
Well deserved trip to Omaha. I like their chances of
winning it this year. Miss State doesn't matchup
with the heels. Lots of high seeds are gone.
I hope they get the Beavers again this year
for the crown. Payback can be a rough....just ask USC. :grinpimp:
:cheers:
