Why I love college sports. That was just brutal for the kids. To lose out on the Omaha dream because of THAT. What a gut punch.

re: 1 or 6pm Saturday?

Yes, I'm aware there are 2 more games that are being played tonight. But on the NCAA's official website, LSU, Wake, and the other two are shown as "bracket 1."

Again, I would love to see where that has been confirmed as a "fact" that the teams listed in bracket 1 play on Saturday. It should be common sense that's the case, but there has been no official word and all the online schedules still show bracket 1 playing Friday.

Would love to see where you're getting this confirmation. It would of course make zero sense NOT to be this way, but everything online (including this Warren Nolan link) has bracket 1 playing Friday.

I would still bet money that UVA plays Friday and LSU Saturday, but for some inane reason the NCAA can't confirm that yet. Which of course makes it nearly impossible to confirm travel plans.

FACT

They will play Saturday for sure, it's already confirmed that LSU/Wake/(Stan/Texas) (Tenn/USM) will start Saturday.

Oral Roberts, TCU, Florida, Virginia will start Friday.
they're all reserved now.
Can we have him at WWL? Please? Like, seriously.

Dear Zion. What more do you want? Sign that line.
Yeah "CJ is such garabage" :lol:
Didn't know this sub-forum existed but liking the energy. Geaux Pels.
floored by the negative responses. totally absurd. this is a major coup. Thrilled and impressed.
the negative replies are absurd. This is a monster coup for both LSU and Woodward, and a fantastic hire.
Literally can't believe the negative reaction from some. Prying Kelly away from Notre Dame is a bigger coup than Riley from OU. Amazing.
this might be the most puzzling post I've ever read here. Motivation and competitive fire are NOT a concern with Kelley. Period, end of story. Just ridiculous.
UVA has a ton of built-in advantages. Top 10 athletic program and top 20 academic nationally. Donors with big pockets. Drop-dead gorgeous college town 2 hours from talent-rich DC. Football has sucked :banghead: but that's improving.

LSU fan since birth, but i've been a UVA fan since the 90s and in that time I'm pretty certain we've never lost a coach to another program. Tough place to leave.

That said - the LSU job is tops in the nation without a doubt. So despite PM's recent interview, i'll remain worried about BOC until this is over with.

It would be FAR easier to pull O'Connor.

Doesn't have the built in advantages, is in a weaker conference, and hasn't had the same recent success as Corbin.
here is the link of the interview (talks about BOC at the end)

LINK
Recent - PM with Jerry Ratcliffe - will try to find a link.
It does make a lot of sense, which makes some of us nervous, but don't sell the appeal of Charlottesville & UVA short. PM was just interviewed and said something like "I wish I could talk Brian into succeeding me but he won't even entertain the thought." Said he and his wife love it there.

No doubt LSU is the biggest job in baseball so there's a good reason LSU fans should feel confident in their chances getting anyone they want. Obviously they could offer a ton of money - but so could UVA (there's no question we could match any offer; only question is whether we would).

Over the years Tony Bennett's name has been on virtually every list of high-profile openings in the nation, but he's not interested (I've actually been most worried about LSU because he's wife Laurel is from Baton Rouge, but they love Charlottesville).

Not saying it won't happen, just don't think it's automatic. Either way, I was much happier reading all of you reject the idea of BOC :lol:

Geaux Tigers & Hoos

O’Connor Makes too much sense Friends and long time assistant to Paul Maineri Successful National championship coach with many CWS appearances fits Woodward checkbox. Relatively young coach that can give a solid 15-20 years.

If I had to put money on anyone right now, it's him.

The guy is on tape talking about complaining that the "package" he offered to a kid and his family didn't give a big enough cut to the middle man. He's guilty.


Plain as day. Amazed at this reaction. The guy is filthy.
major exhale for KRob. "we'll take it" indeed.
Kramer just way too aggressive all CWS

Runner Up University. Classic


right, because LSU just can't seem to win in the finals.

wait...
