Virginia's not-matching camo vs. Vandy's all-black pinstripes. I can't decide which team has uglier uniforms.

Trying to be first back to back CWS winners since South Carolina did it just a few years ago. Only been done 4-5 times in CWS history.

Vandy isn't going anywhere with their recruiting loopholes. The NCAA rules allow for something like 11.7 baseball scholarships for a 35 man roster but since Vandy is private they give the players partial academic scholarships. Add the fact they've been developing players and draft picks it's easier for kids to turn down bonuses for a Vandy education compared to going somewhere else and racking up student loan debt.

Have to give Virginia a lot of credit. They used a pitcher who hadn't pitched in a month and shut down a big time offense. Anybody's game tonight. Winner take all. Go Vandy.

Meant to post this last night, but Josh Beckett watches Josh Sborz pitch and is all "what the heck, pick up the pace dude."

Yeah even with a rooting interest that game was painful to watch(/have on in the background on my computer at work).

I'm giving the young guys a break. Red Sox had Dice K and Now Clay B.
I was flipping around , so maybe the pace wasn't as bad for me. The announcers weren't happy with pace, but I'm use to Remdog , who is ticked off if he isn't on the way home by 10.

Hey, I didn't play, don't congratulate me!
Crazy that this is the year they won it - they've been more loaded in the past, but this year they came from nearly missing their conference tournament to winning the whole thing. #sports

You rooting for them was what made the difference obviously!
Yeah it's a pretty big upset, as far as I understand College Baseball, especially given they beat Vandy who are so deep.

I totally get where your coming from as a South Carolina fan. We've had some good teams but I don't think we get past UVA that year if Hultzen doesn't gets sick. Those were some great teams but to win in Omaha you need some luck too bc everybody is good.

I'm late, but congrats to Virginia. I thought game 2 was the key.
Good D by both teams . 3b play was a web gem highlight reel.
Virginia looks primed for another run next year with all the young guys they have coming back.
