Are you rooting for the Froggies?

Yep (so there are THREE Big XII teams in Omaha).
And Lafayette and Virginia, with ZERO SEC teams in the field of eight.
I have a young friend who got his undergraduate degree at Vanderbilt, his masters at Lafayette, and he will begin his PhD program at UT this coming fall.
So, if the Ragin' Cajuns can beat Ole Miss, all three of his schools will be playing in Omaha.

marley,
I hate to break it to you my friend, but Vanderbilt (SEC) has already punched their ticket on our side of the bracket and will be playing Louisville.
Virginia is playing Maryland in an ACC battle for Omaha.
And personally, I'd rather see Pepperdine. Some of what Schlossnagle does is pure bush league (though not technically against the rules) and I would not be happy to see him take over for Augie.

Yes, be cool for 3 TX schools (except if aggy was in TCU's place I would be pulling for Pepperdine)

I don't necessarily care about pulling for conference teams or state of Texas. I just care about Texas having the best shot to win & advance. That being said, I'm rooting for Pepperdine & ULaLa today.

I'm with BB above. Typically pull for conference and Texas schools (minus Ags), but the road of least resistance for the Horns should always take precedence. After what TCU's #1 ranked pitching staff did to our bats in April (1 run in 27 innings), no thanks...Go Waves.
Will pull for the Cajuns to reject Ole Miss and the SEC. Aside from being SEC, the Ole Miss team ERA is 2.67, while LA-La is 3.38. For this Texas team, their biggest advantage comes when facing the least effective pitching staff. Works out both ways pulling for the Cajuns.
Virginia ERA is 2.29 and Maryland is 3.36. Go Terps!
I'm siding with higher ERA teams as our staff can typically hold down any offense out there. We get into trouble when our bats go ice cold. Naturally the higher team ERA, less chance they will freeze us.

Oops, my bad, OB.
Given that Vandy is a fine academic institution, I often forget that they could POSSIBLY be affiliated with the gomers in the SEC.
If any SEC team would make it, I would root for Vanderbilt.
We need to recruit them to the Big XII where they belong.
Ok, so it's ONE sec team out of the bazillions that baseball committee let in.
Now, we just need to get three Big XII teams in -- no matter how they got there. If they win their bracket, then they deserve to be in the Championship Series. No fear.
BTW, I used to live six miles north of Pepperdine at Paradise Cove. Great campus locale. But not nearly as nice, though, as from where I'm doing this post.

Three Big XII teams in Omaha versus ONE sec team!
Sorry OB, but I do like that result.
If TCU ends up winning the other bracket and beats Texas in the Championship Series, so beat it.
But the result proves that the Big XII is the better college baseball conference this year, in spite of that crooked NCAA baseball committee.
I'm in Anguilla in the Caribbean, but I'll be in Omaha if Texas makes it to the Championship Series.

Yep, 3 from Texas... all with the name TEXAS in their school name. And all in the BIG XII.
Texas State did not make it.
North Texas did not.
TAMU did not.
Texas A&I.
Some others that don't readily come to mind.
But Three TEXAS Schools did, so congrats on Three Big XII "State of Texas" teams getting 3 of the 8 spots in the World Series.
BIG XII
Did I mention Big 12?

Ok nevermind the rules...had to flip flop teams. Soon as I saw LaLa wearing those ******* camo red and blue jerseys...screw 'em they deserve to lose. Nice hospital scrubs. You're playing a winner-take-all for a spot in the prestigious CWS, act the part Asshats. Go Rebs!
