re: La Tech was up 5-4 in the 6th, Ole Miss won 4-3

Everyone with any sense knows this “offer” was made because their bitch coach knew neither of us could actually pull off an additional midweek game this season.

The burden was on LA Tech and I assure you we would have made an additional trip to finish.

We don’t even have a midweek next week and Ole Miss only has one.

Basically what happened is the bigger school threw their weight around to get a phony win.

Louisiana Tech was putting it on Ole Miss in their house, and Ole Miss found a way out… quit mid-inning and put in a call to get the win despite losing the game on the scoreboard. Despicable.

The thing I find hilarious is that Ole Miss is bragging about "winning" the game on social media

I think any team in OM’s situation there would do what is necessary not to lose

The difference is that OM really needed it

Their prospects going forward are not very optimistic, even after the best season in the history of the school in any sport

Lol Ole Miss ordered up a lightning storm. Y’all keep going with these awesome takes.

It seems like you’re ignoring that the tarp wasn’t put out due to the fact that everyone was ordered off the field because of lightning. If that’s the case, it doesn’t make sense to criticize them for the tarp.
Right?

It typically depends on what area the detection was observed. If it's within X miles you typically don't allow it. I did see the mound cover and home plate cover that teams typically put on after the game had been taken out and put on during the initial delay on the broadcast. While I understand that is different than the tarp in time to put out, it's not significantly more and kinda kills the couldn't leave the clubhouse argument.

How did Ole Miss slow the game down? They started the game one hour early...could they have started earlier? Maybe but there are logistics when school is in session...the parking lots they use for baseball are student parking when classes are going. A lot more goes into just saying yea let's play 3 hours earlier on a day when classes are going on.

The umps make the call on the tarp. It was lightening and a very light rain. Guess who puts the tarp out? The players that they want off the field for safety issues.

I assure you I am fully aware of who is responsible for the tarps, covers, as well as general groundskeeping at the majority of NCAA programs. When they showed the field during the initial delay and someone had put the covers on the mound and not the tarp I immediately assumed the game would not be completed. If no one was allowed on the field, then how did that get there? Even on the SECR post when LTU fan(s) were complaining about there not being a tarp Ole Miss fans were saying they could see one clear as day over the mound. Both sides should leave the tarp argument alone, because you can shoot holes in both sides of that argument.

It's a lot harder to argue for Bianco when the rule gives three outcomes for a game that has gone 4.5 but not a full 7. There can only be three outcomes for that; No Contest, Conclusion Postponed, or revert back to last equal inning. If LTU's coach and Bianco could not agree as it appears they were, then it should have been ruled a No Contest. Bianco and Ole Miss did nothing wrong standing their ground and taking the W. It's also fair to criticize him and the administration when there were other options that would be deemed to have been more aligned with the spirit of the game.
