Bulldogs.....GONE!

Game 5 of the CWS just ended, and the Cardinals of Louisville hung 12 runs on the Bulldogs of Mississippi St. The Cards have scored an amazing 99 runs in the past 10 games. This was their first win at Rosenblatt Stadium. They now wait to see who they will play. North Carolina meets Rice in the nightcap of the day. The loser of that game will have their hands full with Louisville. With the 5th best pitching staff in the country and an offense of mashers, it's no wonder how they have become the darlings of Omaha. They played good defense, which was their downfall against Rice.

Louisville is the only University to place a team in the Final 4, a BCS bowl, and the CWS. I thought that was a factoid that need to be stated. It's just an amazing stat, and a testament to the commitment at the school to the athletic department. Basketball, you think Louisville. Football, somewhat a stretch, but if you picked them to go to Omaha I hope you bet the farm on it, or at least plan on playing the lotto this week.

Professor's response: Not only did Louisville crush MSU, they now get to face a UNC team that did not look so hot in their game against Rice. UNC starters have lasted a total of three innings combined in their first two games, and the Tarheels have used, count 'em, 12 pitchers. Should be fun...
