Haha. Nothing funnier then a Gamecock inviting a Wildcat to dine at the CWS. What's on the menu? Your team's .272 season batting average?
Here is a hint: .331 > .272
Don't look too far ahead. I hear Arkansas ranks fifth in the nation with 7.6 hits allowed per nine innings.
Other than that, I would love to see the match-up.

I personally like the fact that people want to trash talk...........it means that we must be making an impact and folks are taking notice. Bring them all on.......

University of South Carolina fans (I still associate SC with the USC out west) believe they are a team of destiny, despite the numbers on paper from the regular season. I think they see the same out of Arizona.
They are going to have a helluva time dealing with the Hog's Ryne Stanek, who is now healthy from the last time they faced off (blew a six point lead). Still, I think Carolina can win this one. No reason not to.
Speaking of destiny and a match-up with Carolina. Maybe this is why we play "Sweet Caroline" during late pitching changes (According to Arizona Daily Star). I've attached a link explaining the song origins at Fenway and the Elvis's version of Neil Diamond's song.

Why do Red Sox fans sing "Sweet Caroline" in Fenway during the 7th inning stretch?

Lets see SEC vs pac whatever number you are now. no comparison in the quality of pitching we see week in and week out. As far as Arky goes, we won the series with them.....Im not concerned. As far as your team batting average..... great pitching beats great hitting the majority of the time. Our pitching staff is deep and experienced, we have beaten better teams all year long

South Carolina lost tonight so they likel do not jmke the Championship series. As to the PaC 12 vs SEC Pac12 teams have 25 CWS titles and the SEC has 9 so if the sEC wins the next 16 you catch up. Also of the 10 winningest teams at the CWS the PaC 12 has four teams in the top seven and the SEC 2 in the top 10 and only LSU who is tied with Arizona right now in the top 7.When we win Thursday we pass LSU into all alone in seventh and two wins behind Oklahoma State at 38 and will tie for sixth place. The PaC 12 owns both Baseball and softball (where the PAC has won 22 to the SEC 1)

I tried to warn him.
The Gamecocks were limited to just four hits on the night and were just 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position, stranding seven runners on base.
Over on our side of the bracket, I'll be pulling for UCLA for two reasons:
1) Conference Pride (obviously). I'm really surprised that there hasn't been more sabre-rattling on the topic of placing the co-champs of arguably the best conference (I don't really have an argument) on the same side of the bracket.
2) Quite honestly, I would rather not face FSU again. At least, not until I stock up on an epinephrine shot.
Great link on the Me First Gimme Gimmes Canyon. My brother-in-law plays in a Tucson band called the Lariats with the same style. I'll PM you next time they make it up to your area.
JICOCK21, for what it is worth, I would rather face your team if we make it out to the finals (we will). Arkansas pitching is dominant (so is ours) and Florida may bring back memories for Lopez that could disrupt our focus (edit: Florida lost to Kent St. 5-4). I'll be pulling for your team to keep that "dinner date".
Link from ESPN celebrating the resurgence of Arizona and UCLA attached for those that missed it.
Link with a shameless plug for Lariats. The only YouTube video I could find that could semi-capture their ear-shattering sound. I texted him to do a Sweet Caroline cover.

UCLA Bruins, Arizona Wildcats carry torch for their region at College World Series - ESPN

The presence of UCLA and Arizona in Omaha harkens back to a glorious period of dominance. Even the Bruins' and Wildcats' biggest rivals, USC and Arizona State, would admit it's time to bring the trophy back to where it once remained for years on end.

Typical SEC fan. Yawn.
How's your swim team doing now that you've been paying attention for 5 minutes? Want to talk trash about that too?
"We've beaten better teams all year..."
So you're admitting we're better? Think it through, buddy.

JICock21 was way too premature with the trash talk earlier.
That being said I do think this is going to be an awesome series and probably our most challenging to date. I don't think yall have faced a team quite like us yet. Think yall win tonight and we take the next 2. Good luck either way.

My dumb. I thought they lost prior to the last game. The ESPN press conference was awesome. Funny stuff.
