Florida, South Carolina, and Arkansas are all in the same bracket as they will battle it out and see who will play in the Championship Game. Kent State has to play through all the SEC teams to make it to the CWS Title Game….. that will be quite a chore for the Jayhawks.Kent State plays Arkansas at 5pm eastern time, and South Carolina plays Florida for the night game at 9pm……
UCLA 9 Stony Brook 1……….Bruins making a statement to the CWS, the Wildcats win 4 to 3 over the Noles…..
UCLA jumped on Stony Brook pitching really quick with 5 runs in the bottom of the 1st. The Bruins put 5 runs on Johnson as fast as he could say Gumbo. Then in the 3rd Stony Brook gets a run, and the Bruins get 2 more runs. Carmona has been batting about 399 but today he has 2 strikeouts, the last one he was just caught looking as he got fanned by Plutko. I must say that Stony Brook has there hands full or tied behind there back, it’s gonna take a few more inning for them to get back in the game, but the Bruins are putting the clamps on them as we are in the top of the 5th….. Stony Brook had runners on the corners with no outs, then they Jankowski hit into a double play to the catcher Heineman, as Courtney was put out at home, and then next batter fouled out to the catcher. Heineman singly handed retired the all the Seawolves. Plutko had his way with Stony Brook Batters, striking out 7, 2 bb, and only 1 run, to finish out the game, UCLA has won 10 straight games and 20 out of 22. The Bruins are making a statement to the rest of the teams. The Bruins go on to play Arizona tomorrow who were winners over Florida State 4 to 3. Stony Brook will be in the losers bracket tomorrow to face a upset Noles team. Expect Florida State to close it out, and Stony Brook will be out by the weekend.

The CWS is a very interesting setup this year with all the SEC teams in bracket 2 and the 2 PAC 12 teams in bracket 1. If Stony Brook doesn’t shock the world expect Florida State and Florida to battle it out for the CWS, don’t be surprised by South Carolina to pull a rabbit out of it’s hat and win their third straight CWS Title. I believe whats really surprising, we could of had 3 PAC 12 teams in the CWS but Oregon got knocked off by Kent State. I didn’t hear the media talking about Oregon getting beat by Kent State, maybe Kent State might shocked the world, perhaps Stony Brook is tooting their horn alittle too loud. A Cinderella Conclusion to the CWS would be Stony Brook vs Kent State, Kent State takes 2 out of 3 for the CWS Title.

Scottie Williams of Elmhurst College Named Academic All-American
Elmhurst College football player Scottie Williams has been chosen as a Capital One First Team Academic All-American.Williams was one of just two running backs named to the 25-player NCAA Division III Academic All-American First Team A first-team academic all-district selection, Williams was one of the nation’s best running backs on the field and in the classroom. Williams is the 31st overall Elmhurst student-athlete to earn Academic All-America honors. He is the 24th Bluejay to achieve the honor since the 2000-01 season. He is the third football player to earn the honor in the past four years. A marketing major,Williams maintains a 3..46 grade-point average.
Elmhurst College Football has over 15 seniors coming back including Furco and Williams, so they are looking forward to a very productive season. One of the 1st teams that dailycollegefootball.com cover besides LSU, Oregon, Baylor and TCU games, was the Elmhurst Bluejays. I had the chance to walk the sidelines and take pictures, and looking forward to the 2012 season as well. I am sure Coach Tim Lester is looking forward to the 2012 season with the same backfield and having Joe Furco back at Quarterback and Scottie Williams running the ball.
Mathieu and AJ McCarron have kicked off the 2012 Season with some jab……. LSU vs Alabama Nov. 3rd
LSU Tigers CB Mathieu took some jabs at AJ McCarron calling him out saying, try throwing a corner route or cross country on me down the field….. I will be waiting. AJ’s response was mostly team play, but did say that #14 did’t do too much in New Orleans, and actions speak louder than words. Honey Badger responded defense wins games, and AJ didnt score too many points. AJ took the high road and said we will be patiently and be quiet and wait our turn……. interesting, but I think the Honey Badger called out A.J…….. AJ talked about team ball, and playing as a team. I can’t wait for the showdown NOV. 3RD……… woooohhhhhoooooo.
There is alot of blogging going in ESPN World, and the fans are doing the jawing….and the talking, and they are not stopping. The 2012 Season is in full swing as we await the kickoff of the Alabama vs Michigan Game in Jerry World.

The Stony Brook Seawolves beat the LSU Tigers 7 to 2 to advance to the CWS….
Tough loss for the LSU Tigers sunday night, the coach of the Tigers Paul Mainieri comments are, it’s suddenly over, it’s awful for his team Seniors and the team not to get a trip to Omaha. The Seawolves deserve the trip, lots of good pitching, clutch hitting from Stony Brook, and it’s the 2nd day that the Seawolves pitching held the LSU Bats to 3 hits. Mason Katz had LSU’s only run with a solo shot in the bottom of the 1st to tie the game up.The two hotest teams going into Omaha I would say are the Stony Brook Seawolves and the Florida State Seminoles. The Noles demolished Stanford, the 1st game 17 to 1, and the second game 18 to 7. The Noles scored 35 runs over the weekend, since I been following College Baseball from the early 90’s I never seen a team score that many runs since LSU when they played gorilla ball and just pounded teams back in the 90’s for their 5 National Championships. I would go with the Noles to win it all, but don’t count out the Seawolves. I think LSU was the best team in baseball, and the Seawolves beat them 2 out of 3. I am sure the sloppiness on the field had something to do with LSU’s play, but the Seawolves had to play on the field as well. Frankie Vanderka’s complete game helped the Seawolves to advance as he allowed only two runs on three hits with four walks and five strikeouts. Stony Brook qualified for the program’s first College World Series and improved to 2-1 in NCAA Super Regional games, while LSU dropped to 12-10 in NCAA Super Regional games. Stony Brook will play UCLA, the number 2 national seed on Friday in the opening round of the CWS. Good luck to Stony Brook, they will need it especially having the 1st time jitters in Omaha on the big stage at the CWS. William Carmona went 3 for 5, batted 399, with 1 rbi, 2 runs scored, and Travis Jankowski went 4 for 6, with 422 pct at bat, and 2 runs scored, if Stony Brook keeps hitting the ball like they did against LSU they will sweep thru Omaha. The Seawolves will be on display, but they will be playing a talented UCLA Bruins ball club who has been to Omaha twice in the last 3 years. In other Super Regional Series Oregon, and Florida advances, as South Carolina and Oklahoma are awaiting a rain delay and resume play today; defending 2 time champion South Carolina leads the series 1-0. Baylor and Arkansas split their series and resumes play today to decide who goes to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. I remember starting my websites 1st roadtrip which started in Waco,Tx attending the Baylor vs TCU Game, amazing enough Baylor’s Programs have done well this year in football, (Sunbow, Robert Griffin III, Heisman Trophy), Mens Basketball (final 8), Lady Bears Basketball went 40-0 with a National Championship,and the Lady Bears softball 34 -22 NCAA Playoffs, and now the Baylor Bears Baseball has a chance to go to the CWS; Sick em Bears.
LSU vs Stony Brook…….Game 3 of Super Regional Postponed to 7pm……
There is severe weather in Baton Rouge today so the LSU vs Stony Brook game has been postpone til tonight.One team will be heading toward Omaha after tonight. The Baton Rouge Super has been a battle for both teams, LSU pitching vs Stony Brook hitting, although LSU Tigers hit 3 decisive home runs in the 1st game to keep the Tigers in hunt. PAUL MAINIERI slept on a decision to bring in Ace Kevin Gausman in for the 1st game that went to 12 innings, Gausman threw 12 pitches, and then LSU’s Mason Katz drove in the winning run. Kevin Gausman who was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles forth pick overall in the draft finish the first game, and came in and pitch the next game. Gausman started out really well in the 1st, 2 innings he recorded 4 strikeouts, but had a rocky 3rd inning giving up two runs, and then gave up a home run to Courtney in the 5th inning. The weather has been a big factor for both teams, but favors the hitting on each team. LSU has been plagued by double plays, if you are hitting into double plays it’s very hard to score runs.Tyler Johnson had a big game in game 2 for Stony Brook as he held LSU Tiger Bats to 1 run, and 3 hits. The Seawolves pitchers have been throwing alot off speed pitches,but as George W. Bush said on T.V. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice… you can’t get fooled again, I am sure the LSU Batters will catch on to this off speed pitching as they take the field tonight.The game postpone til 7pm which is about a 28 hour break from yesterdays last pitch might favor the home team which will be LSU, since they will have the last at bat, and it might come down to last bat to finalize this series. The weather has not been good over the south this weekend, Florida and North Carolina State are awaiting a lighting delay up so they can resume action in their game, the Gators lead the game 1-0 in the top of the 3rd.
LSU Tigers win game 1, 5-4 , and lose game 2 , 3-1 to Stony Brook Seawolves…… Game 3 set for sunday…
Tough loss for LSU Tigers today 3 to 1 to Stony Brook, but LSU did win the 1st game 5 to 4 with a RBI single by Katz. Play resumes tomorrow around 12pm, expect LSU to bounce back as the home team and jump on the Seawolves pitching right away, and start making there way to Omaha. UCLA and ARIZONA have already punch there time cards as two teams that made it to Omaha, they are waiting on the other 6 teams to decide their chance to go to Omaha. Looks like we are gonna bring the blog on the road to Omaha perhaps stay for the full 10 days, a exciting time in Omaha it should be. I would say Stony Brook is a tough team with good hitting and pitching, but I don’t think they seen the full miltary of LSU Tigers offense. Tomorrow is gonna be a great day for College Baseball…. good luck to all teams.
Florida State 17 Stanford 1…….. GAMEOVER……..
Second basemen J Travis for Florida State is on a roll with 2 homeruns tonight, and a on slaught of runs for the Seminoles. The Seminoles are leading the Stanford Cardinals 17 to 1, probably the most runs produce in a Super Regional College Baseball Game. The Seminoles better save some offense for saturday and perhaps sunday if Stanford wins saturdays game. I would say the Seminoles bats are happy and the players are glad to be hitting the baseballs out of the field, and the park. I am sure Stanford wishes they were back in Palo Alto perhaps on Facebook, or hitting the books. Too bad the 15 run rule didn’t come into effect.
Florida State 14 Stanford 1,7th inning… The hits just keep on coming…… and the runs…
In the Tallahassee Super Regionals, Florida State jump on Stanford in the 4th inning and never let up, J Boyd, J Brizuella, J Delph, J Gonzales, J Holland, S Johnson, and S McGee all scored during the exciting 4th inning, and the 5th and 6th inning were productive as well with another 6 runs. The Seminoles are making a statement about being in Omaha for the CWS. As Tom Cruise said in A Few Good Men, the hits just keep on coming, as well as the runs……
