Reseeding the CWS Would Result in Another SEC Tournament?

Check the crowd pop on this one:

I would’ve paid good money to see this as COSM in Atlanta, provided they had this view of the game from the venue.

Go Dawgs…meanwhile, here’s the matchups for the CWS:

Yes, that’s right…All-SEC on one side of the bracket. Hmm. What would it look like with a reseeded bracket:

#1 Georgia vs. #8 Troy

#2 UNC vs. #7 Oklahoma

#3 Texas vs. #6 Ole Miss

#4 Alabama vs. # 7 West Virginia

Then it would just be an All-SEC CWS, would it not?

Just imagine…also imagine if the Supers were reseeded…some different outcomes could’ve occurred:

1 Georgia vs. 16 Little Rock

2 Auburn vs. 15 Cal Poly

3 UNC vs 14 Troy

4 Texas vs. 13 St. John’s

5 Alabama vs. 12 Oklahoma

6 Oregon vs. 11 USC

7 Mississippi State vs. 10 Ole Miss

8 Kansas vs. 9 West Virginia

Well…guess what…you still would’ve only had five SEC teams in the CWS brackets…and Auburn would’ve been one of them…plus you would’ve had a B1G team in it, too.

Nah, maybe I like it just the way it is.

Message Board Geniuses: Losing with Integrity, The Auburn Way

Hoo boy. This is rich, coming from the land of make believe championships and Scam Newton.

Saying “not getting punished for cheating like every other athletic program” when you’re a Barner is doing some heavy lifting.

Remind me again why Terry Bowden didn’t win a real, live National Championship…and how Gene Chizik did? It’s interesting, isn’t it?

At Auburn you can do that. Actually, you can apparently do anything you want.

May Madness – Baseball Regional Shockers

Oh, my goodness. Let’s hear again about the almighty power of the B1G…

Say it with me, class…for the first time ever…yikes.

Meanwhile, in Tallahassee…

And here’s another to shut the RPI nitwits up…all those folks screaming about Auburn and their RPI can explain this…the only team in the Regionals with a LOSING RECORD knocks off the #4 Barners on their home turf…

Milwaukee started the season going 5-23, to finish with a 26-31 record. They did win the Horizon League, though, so hopefully that will soothe the Auburn souls. Note: it will not…check the Saturday Message Board Geniuses post.

Also, this is the May 30th reminder that Auburn sucks.

In other news…Georgia didn’t get to finish off Long Island University, being up 15-1 in the 6th when the deluge hit.

Message Board Geniuses: Why Do They Hate on Auburn?

Awwww. A Barner has a feel.

Lord Jesus, help this person find the strength to deal with this, as it seems there’s no relenting in the foreseeable future, unless Auburn gets really, really good in a really, really short period of time.

Personally, I don’t ever instigate with a “Go Dawgs”. I’ll only say this to another Georgia fan in solidarity, but I won’t say anything to anyone otherwise. Usually, it’s Alabama fans who’ve been the most vocal, with all the “Roll Tides” and all, but I don’t hear much from Auburn fans, who’ve largely gone dormant over the past decade, it seems.

Just another reminder that Auburn sucks, and will continue to do so for eternity.

Wednesday Wondering for Winos: What Drink do You Miss?

Ladies and gentleman, then end of an era.

I can say, easily, I never had one. Or I might have, but I can’t remember. When the night gets longer and the buzz needs feeding, I might’ve had one. But I don’t recall aver haing one.

On the other hand, I do remember this:

It was around for a skinny minute, and I loved it. It was around the same time Coors had Aspen Edge, which is gone now. Dominus ominus.

What a pipe dream, to imagine we could drink beer and stay slim. Twenty years later, I realize it’s a pipe dream, and a dream worth chasing until this day. And I will remain steadfast to that commitment to integrity.

I’ve tried Corona Seltzer, Truly, and any other drink with zero carbs. Was it worth it?

But, let’s face it, today’s traditional beer aint what it used to be…so, for today’s post, what’s a bye-gone beer that you miss? If not a bye-gone beer that no longer exists, what do you miss about beer.

I’ll start…I miss Ballantine Ale.

Six green smokehouses of something that smells like a skunk’s ass, but once you’ve had one, it will set you right. On top of it, it’s the drink that Hunter S. Thompson mentions in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Also:

I’ve posted here about my interactions with Erk Russel at the local Country Store in Statesboro, but I never met the man without a fistful of this in his hand. And he was as cordial and happy to talk to you about anything between football and life with it in his hand.

Today is yet another day where Erk isn’t in the CFBHOF, and we should still be enraged about it. Imagine Kirby Smart being ignored as a college football championship coach in the 21st century, and we’re on par with how it feels. Legend. And Georgia Southern is a great campus surrogate to Athens, for what it’s worth, in terms of partying.

Here’s another one:

We felt like royalty drinking this shit in the 1990s, but you won’t find it today. Let me guess…if you did drink it back then, you haven’t thought about it since? Never knew it was gone? Exactly.

How about you…what ale do you miss from the ne’er years that floated your boat and left your eggs scrambled?

Your Daily Reminder that Auburn Sucks: Diamond Dawgs Win Game One

Woof!

I’ll give Auburn credit. It was a pitching duel all night and it played out like a game between two of the top 5 teams in the nation giving it their all. From an observation, the Dawgs looked looser and relaxed despite the close game, Auburn seemed a touch uptight. I’ll take that as a good sign for the good guys heading into the postseason play.

There was no toilet paper tossed at Toomer’s corner last night.

What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been

This is something to behold.

Remove the Big XII schools from this, and it’s not a shock that we had the best record in the SEC in the 1980s. It feels like we should’ve been lower in the 90s, but the upward trajectory starting the 2010s is refreshing, finish with 100 wins for the decade and, of course, now owning the best records in the 20’s.

What’s equally refreshing to see is where Florida and Auburn are in the 2020s, exactly where they deserve to be.

FTMFs.

Top 5 Tilt on the Plains: #4 Georgia versus #5 Auburn

PSA, the final series of the year has a first pitch of Thursday night (tomorrow) and 8 pm. And it’ll be a biggun.

Technically tied for fourth in the SEC with Alabama, Auburn is highly regarded and could use Georgia to boost their RPI and improve their postseason standings with a series win. SEC Tournament is up next…but with Georgia projected as #3 by some media outlets and looking to host a Super Regional (fingers crossed we don’t implode), it’s just as important to the Diamond Dawgs.

Oh, and Thursday night is Senior Night and Wear Orange night on the Plains.

Go Dawgs, and reminder…Auburn Sucks!

Serious Question: Why Does Auburn Suck?

Shot:

Chaser:

Serious question…given the location, the hotbed of talent they can recruit from just like their counterparts in Tuscaloosa and Athens…the years of tradition and passionate fans…

Why does Auburn suck this bad? Granted, it couldn’t happen to a more deserving team, outside of Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, but looking at these couple of stats, it’s somewhat amazing that Auburn’s been this historically bad for this long.

Does anyone know what happened? Meddling big boosters? The Rise of Alabama in the 90s and 2000s? An Aztec curse?

Curious for your thoughts.
