College Sports

I love the College World Series. It reminds me why I like the college version of sports so much more than the pro version, and today was no different.

My hubby and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings to eat, and saw the finish of the Georgia-Miami game… and what a finish! The sixth-ranked Bulldogs were down a run, 4-3, going into their last at-bat against the top-ranked ‘Canes, but managed four runs on three hits, a wild pitch on a strike out that allowed the batter to get to first, and a throwing error on an infield grounder (by the pitcher!).

Watching the faces of the Georgia players was awesome. Their pure joy was fun to watch, and, to be corny, reminded me of a bunch of kids playing Little League. On the flip side, the devastation and confused looks on the faces of the Hurricanes was very real.

This was just day one… wonder what will happen this week? Will Miami make it out of the loser’s bracket? Who else will give us some excitement. Besides Georgia and Miami, other participants are Rice, LSU, North Carolina, Fresno State, Florida State and Stanford. All the games are carried on ESPN and ESPN2, so tune in!
