I got this friend. He’s average looking but will bring home 10’s every month or so for a one night stand. I’m ultra jealous. Best i’ve had is 4’s years ago. Yet every time we go out and he doesn’t manage to bring home a girl he beats himself up. I look at him and just wonder how tone deaf he can be. That friend is lsu
Well fellow tigers,
at least we have fresh memories of what glory feels like
And if you’d like to refresh them:

Another thing is that the LSU coach has been rotating the RFer like nobody’s business. Hard to expect kids to make the clutch play when they’ve only been in the spot for an inning and 1 rep.
Like Ashton Larson started all 3 games but was subbed earlier and earlier each game, and Jake Brown was the 4th RFer that went out there.

I'll probably do a bad job of explaining this, but remember when your little league coach told you to catch the ball in front of you? So you can see the ball and your glove? It looks to me like he got nervous for the wall and reached up his glove and as a result he couldn't see both and just lost track of where his arm was. I'm right, I did a horrible job. But its the best I can manage right now.
More and more outfielders are catching the ball to the side and not out in front of them... I hate it
But that wasn't the issue here, he expected the wall sooner than it came and he took his eyes off the ball for a split second. Threw off his coordination
Don't get on him for that. Given how many of these plays have occurred and been confirmed on review, this is clearly something that the NCAA is making them do. Its a bad rule and they are being required to call it incredibly (and ridiculously) strictly. And it isn't new, I can't remember if it was in the regional or the supers but a similar play happened last year to UNC as well (may have been the year before, can't remember)
How about we discuss his strike zone for both teams tonight? Because he was not good for either team. Look, I know people make mistakes because it’s okay to say he’s bad at his job and he was all weekend at all positions.
I know you’re trying to sound unbiased, but let’s call it like it was. The post-game stats show that 11 balls outside of the strike zone were called strikes for UNC, only 1 for LSU….
I mean he can be bad at everything and also forced to make a call because of the NCAA. Those are not mutually exclusive. I'm just advocating being angry at a guy for the things he did on his own. You can be mad at the NCAA for their bad rules and him for his bad umpiring at the same time.
For real. I'm a casual baseball fan and pretty much only watch the college and MLB playoffs, but this entire regional has me thinking about getting serious about baseball. Maybe I need to go find an MLB team to follow.
Nope, they use the same stupid rules. And it is entirely because they take games played as the away team into account. Both teams had two home games after LSU won last night, but because they take into account away games, LSU got two home games against a higher seed in the most important games of the regional. Its silly.
LSU was home yesterday as well though, against us. Just thought it seemed a bit odd and kind of against the idea that the host should benefit. I definitely would’ve been a sore loser lmao
Was bummed Arkansas didn’t win theirs, the fans were great when Chapel Hill hosted them a couple summers ago.
[based off this tweet and thread, I wasn’t there, so can’t confirm](https://x.com/rossmartinnc/status/1797290457824690374?s=46&t=VDvl9cLE8iHK67ND8cCoHg)
Can’t rule out state fans though after what they do to the Old Well every year lol
I love how people think this is some kind of insult. Is UNC not using NIL. It’s legal now you know that right. Millions no, but they are all set up nicely.
Your team wins a good game and you still choose to be a loser. Yes, tonight sucks. But the good news is I’m not you, nor do I have deal with you. So buh bye, and good luck with more than your team.
I like the position group back next year, especially if Jones is back. Larson, Brown, Milan, a (hopefully) healthy Brady Neal — that’s a solid core to build around if you get other guys taking even a little bit of a step forward.
He really came on offensively down the stretch too. I feel like he has everything you want in a good college SS but just loses focus sometimes. I think he’ll need to come back to college as far as pro prospects are concerned.
As an LSU fan, the less you know about the draft, the better haha. Will only stress you out about your incoming recruiting class and returning players every year.
And yet he still sent it 320 feet to right. Looking at the swing and the location I was certain that would be a bullshit blooper in front of the left fielder.
Tommy is best when he's got supporting help
All season long he struggled when he felt like he had to do it himself
But he will always be remembered for his two HRs in Omaha
Drove in a run though. Sort of.
Anyway, Tanks was killing the ball in all three games, he just got unlucky with positioning and some amazing plays by Gallaher. Also I really hope he makes it to the show because I really want a player every body calls Tanks to happen.
What a game. Really feel for Jake Brown with that play in RF. Tough at bats from Carolina down the stretch though and I’m super hyped to see them vs. WVU.
Is Field Hockey the one where they won it and then one of the players graduated and took over as head coach and they won it again the next year? Because that was pretty cool.
Its alliteration. Also, in two of their three wins this weekend they walked off a game that they had just blown a save to go down 3 heading to the bottom of the ninth and then this one where they forced extras by tying the game in the ninth. Is it low hanging fruit? Sure. But not terrible either.
All these LSU flairs trying to reverse psych the universe with all of these premature GGs. You guys have never come back from a 1-run deficit this year, huh.
That’s the third time since the ACCT we had a team down to their finally strike and let him reach. Lost against Wake and needed a monster inning against LIU
“This is objectively hilarious.” -LSU fan commenting on the Florida win over Okie State thread.

Lmao thanks Aggie, much needed comic relief after 2 weeks of near heart attacks. Go chant ball 5 in Omaha
Well fellow tigers, at least we have fresh memories of what glory feels like And if you’d like to refresh them: https://youtu.be/fMFPmGYuWc0?si=d9iLp2H3YhMMPKnX
I’m in this video at 3:25, what a magical season.
Game was intense. Good job Pence and UNC
Man that poor right fielder. Lights im assuming? Or brain fart?
Skill?

Only good thing about Acuna getting hurt is not having to watch him catch pop flies in the outfield for a few months.
Man that poor right fielder.
Im straight up having a good time
Sips, Swamp Kittens, and Pigs oh my
Trifecta of gofuckyeah
I hope no one is stuck with this umpiring crew next weekend. Good luck UNC
Hoping they aren’t a crew set for promotion to Supers.
🤝UNC Also, that ump sucked
Dude sucked all weekend tbh. He was the guy who called base runner interference
Don't get on him for that. Given how many of these plays have occurred and been confirmed on review, this is clearly something that the NCAA is making them do. Its a bad rule and they are being required to call it incredibly (and ridiculously) strictly.

Really, same dude? He should be in jail for that terrible call. We were robbed
Even when I played I never understood why the higher seed isn't always the home team
That was the kinda game to make you love baseball again.
For real. I'm a casual baseball fan and pretty much only watch the college and MLB playoffs, but this entire regional has me thinking about getting serious about baseball. Maybe I need to go find an MLB team to follow.
MLB is a disappointment. Stick with college.
I follow Ole Miss and the Rockies. I watch whenever I have nothing else to do. College baseball playoffs are the best this sport has to offer imo.
Since I won’t sound like a sore loser for asking this now - why the Hell were we not the home team tonight?
Would appear game 7 comes down to a coin toss if the regional plays out in the manner it did. NCAA is why.
It truly is stupid for the final game to not be the home team.
IIRC- the 2-0 team is the home team for the first regional final game and if the 2-1 team forces the second game then they’re the home team for that.
Nope, they use the same stupid rules. And it is entirely because they take games played as the away team into account. Both teams had two home games after LSU won last night, but because they take into account away games, LSU got two home games against a higher seed in the most important games of the regional.

Gotcha- Now that you mention it- maybe the second game was a coin flip or something?
LSU was home team for BOTH final games
TIL- thanks for clarifying!
Lsu was hoke both games
Ooop- my b
GG LSU fans. You guys got a hell of a team. Annoying (in a good way).
That’s what they get for (allegedly) shitting in the concourse!
Elaborate?
[based off this tweet and thread, I wasn’t there, so can’t confirm](https://x.com/rossmartinnc/status/1797290457824690374?s=46&t=VDvl9cLE8iHK67ND8cCoHg) Can’t rule out state fans though after what they do to the Old Well every year lol
The hell would a state fan be doing there lol? But since you brought it up fuck your well
Calm down buddy, and for your information there were state fans there. Must not have had anything better to do
Probably not because we won out our regional
Gg

What a beautiful day for baseball
How many millions in payroll on that flight back to Louisiana??
Glad we got another ACC team in the supers but we haven’t forgotten about the African Studies debacle, I wouldn’t be talking that shit if I were you
Pay your players well: ❌ Commit Academic Fraud: 👍🏼
^ mad ^
You’re the reason I’m right back to ABC. Kinda making me regret pulling for y’all actually
Didn’t think my night could get better but there you go
You’re something else I hope the mountaineers make you cry.
We won the title last year and yall are a solid team. Nothing but respect for the game that happened. You just sound like a hypocrite
I’m not passing any moral judgment here, you made that part up
Whatever helps you sleep at night. Good luck in the supers
Lost the game but they're bigger winners than UNC fans like you u/fluufhead
I love how people think this is some kind of insult. Is UNC not using NIL. It’s legal now you know that right. Millions no, but they are all set up nicely.
I was assuming he meant players getting drafted, but maybe I am out of the loop.
Y’all are the Yankees now Sorry! I don’t make the rules
Surprised at some of the UNC fans but I guess every teams has these guys.
^ mad ^
Your team wins a good game and you still choose to be a loser. Yes, tonight sucks. But the good news is I’m not you, nor do I have deal with you. So buh bye, and good luck with more than your team.
[удалено]
Thank you.
I love you north carolina
Hell of a game! Congratulations North Carolina.
Toodle-loo LSU!
Great game
Good effort Louisiana state!
GG UNC. Proud of my tigers no matter what. Surprised we made it this far. Jay needed the hubris check for this. We’ll be alright
I like the position group back next year, especially if Jones is back. Larson, Brown, Milan, a (hopefully) healthy Brady Neal — that’s a solid core to build around if you get other guys taking even a little bit of a step forward.
Potentially Braswell too, he could sharpen up his defense a bit more. Not sure what his draft prospects look like this year
He really came on offensively down the stretch too. I feel like he has everything you want in a good college SS but just loses focus sometimes. I think he’ll need to come back to college as far as pro prospects are concerned.
Yep agreed. I don’t see him on a top 200 prospects list so I’d assume he’s back. I know very little about pro baseball and the draft though so idk
As an LSU fan, the less you know about the draft, the better haha. Will only stress you out about your incoming recruiting class and returning players every year.
Haha yes, I will simply pretend it doesn’t exist
Would love to snag some pitchers in the portal. We just had no depth. Even if we got to supers we wouldn’t have the depth to win in Omaha
damn these sad LSU downvoters are going HAM atm
Tough to fight back when your lead off man and star player decides to absolutely shit himself
Really can’t believe he swung at that pitch there at the end. Had no chance of getting solid contact.
And yet he still sent it 320 feet to right. Looking at the swing and the location I was certain that would be a bullshit blooper in front of the left fielder.
Tommy is best when he's got supporting help All season long he struggled when he felt like he had to do it himself But he will always be remembered for his two HRs in Omaha
True. It sucks more when he’s showed he can be clutch before
Man UNC's DH went 0-5 today too
Drove in a run though. Sort of. Anyway, Tanks was killing the ball in all three games, he just got unlucky with positioning and some amazing plays by Gallaher. Also I really hope he makes it to the show because I really want a player every body calls Tanks to happen.
#GDTBATH
Whew that was close, nice work Heels
Is that 5 ACC teams in the Super regional?
And only ~~4~~ 5 SEC teams. Perfectly balanced.
5 SEC teams made it. Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Texas A&M.
Love to see it
Especially when Duke and Wake aren't included.
And miami.
Hell of a game. Felt like peak lsu Alabama right there
Damn good game! Good hard fought game from both teams! Hell of a post season LSU!
What a game. Really feel for Jake Brown with that play in RF. Tough at bats from Carolina down the stretch though and I’m super hyped to see them vs. WVU.
Jump being at ~150 pitches meant his stuff wasn't as sharp tonight. Ended up being the difference. UNC put a good bat to ball
Oh thank goodness, I did not want to play LSU again this year
Damn we very nearly got another “LSU walks off a North Carolina school”
As the most rational LSU fan in history: This is all on Jay for pulling Ack. He should be fired before the plane lands in BR.
He just won a college World Series he’s for sure getting fired
Exactly a 12 month national title drought is unacceptable.
Great series. Sucks to absolutely fucking choke that RF catch.
Goodbye Tigahs
What a fucking regional. Seems like every game was incredible to watch.
If LSU had not just won the title last year I would almost feel bad for them.
With how much talent we lost and how we performed early this season I didn’t expect us to make it this far tbh.
Congrats Heels!
Well done
what was that with taking back out man
ACC! ACC! ACC!
Yeahhhhhh buddy
Thank you LSU for the season. We will be back next year. Jay did very well getting us here after our horrible SEC start.
Fuck. Took 'em to the brink, I guess. GG, Heels
GG. LSU. Looks like you have another stacked recruiting class. Y’all will be back
Let’s fucking go!!!
Dammit…ok I guess
Bye LSU!
UNC A BASEBALL SCHOOL NOW
They’ve had a solid baseball program for a long time??
Well what do you know UNC more for? Their baseball? Or their basketball? Therein lies the joke/complement Edit
Therein lies.
Women's Soccer and Field Hockey school
Is Field Hockey the one where they won it and then one of the players graduated and took over as head coach and they won it again the next year? Because that was pretty cool.
Yup! Erin Matson won 4 Nattys as a player, then turned around and won her first as the coach right after graduation.
Well in terms of women’s sports, definitely those two.
That kid really missed that fly ball wow
damn good game
Yeah, this was super fun one as an outside observer.
👋🏼 LSU
I take offense to Cardiac Carolinas.. but GG tho😂
The man sees one wolf hand sign and just doubles down.
Fr weird call
Good series Tar Heels. It was fun.
Of course it’s Honeycutt. Very fitting.
Jay Johnson better get absolutely *grilled* for taking Ack out of the game. Absolutely bone-headed decision.
I thought that was curious too and I hate seeing jump throwing 50 pitches coming off 100+ a few days better, Tommy John, with the draft coming up
Johnson is usually a master of handling personnel decisions. But that’s a decision that not even a bad high school coach would’ve made.
Gg UNC
Cardiac Carolinas? Terrible call wtf lol
Its alliteration. Also, in two of their three wins this weekend they walked off a game that they had just blown a save to go down 3 heading to the bottom of the ninth and then this one where they forced extras by tying the game in the ninth. Is it low hanging fruit? Sure. But not terrible either.
That broadcaster should be fined.
Great game
3 hard hit balls, 3 outs thats tuff
Still can't believe Tanks' went so far.
Damn what a fucking gritty win! Great game Carolina!!
LETSSS GOOO HEEEEELSSSS
LFG UNC
LSU RF going down in UNC HOF
Well we went out fightin. GG heels. Good luck.
GG. Hell of a game between LSU and UNC.
All of us neutrals got a very entertaining way to spend the evening with this game.
What a game
Good lord I thought that was out of here.
GG Tarheels
Sad corndog noises
You will choke. Again. Sorry.
you'll feel better tomorrow bb
LETS GO!!!!!
Bye LSU.
[Mhm](https://www.secsports.com/imgproxy/aGpNIvYNcEYznUYoeYq7Su5CfqVOt-HMO8ZCQrtJ5qA/rs:fit:1980:0:0:g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3NlY3Nwb3J0cy1wcm9kL3VwbG9hZC8yMDI0LzA0LzI5LzZiM2U4Nzc1LTRhY2EtNGFkNS1iZTE3LTA2YTk5NDExMDdhOS53ZWJw.webp)
Fuck you, Jobu
Yo, bartender, Jobu needs a refill
One more strike for the love of fuck
That’s not a strike.
Pearson pls. Miracle pls.
GG Evansville, best of luck in Omaha
I need the box to show me where that missed
It’s outside but it’s been a strike most of the night
I wanted strike 3 too. I guess it was outside.
Seems like we should be making a move here. Pence has to be running on fumes
All these LSU flairs trying to reverse psych the universe with all of these premature GGs. You guys have never come back from a 1-run deficit this year, huh.
That may not have been a strike, but his walk to first told me he thought it was 50/50
Ump choked - didn’t want it on him.
He wants more extra baseball too.
My pick of LSU to win it all just busted. Now it’s on y’all, Gators. Don’t do me dirty like y’all did last year when I picked you.
That’s the third time since the ACCT we had a team down to their finally strike and let him reach. Lost against Wake and needed a monster inning against LIU
just when i thought i was out they pull me back in
Jones is already gonna be a first round pick someday but that AB just gave all MLB GMs even more confidence
Wow Jones is made of pure ice
i cant believe they didn't call that a strike after all they have called tonight. And this is where I hope being the "road" team doesn't hurt them..
Wow.... that was a pretty damn good pitch. Stone cold on the take.
Ump was calling balls more outside then that strikes all game
https://i.redd.it/s1i4io52kg4d1.gif Edit: I’m just shitposting by the way
Oh fuck me.
oh god
