Oh well. Still a good year. ACC championship and a final four.
This thread seemed like the best place to poast this tweet I saw this morning
That is just an amazing string of mediocrity, and apparently the largest of its kind in Power 5 conferences.

I was actually most surprised about women’s basketball. They are usually pretty good in that, but apparently not good enough
They've really only been good in that the past like 3 years or so with the new coach Yow hired. Admittedly, Yow has gotten then significantly better at the non-major sports, but they are still Moo.
Well I was thinking more when the other Yow was coaching them, knew they went through a dry spell for a while after. Oh well, doesn’t hurt my feelings
It could have also gone in the favorite tweets thread.
D1Baseball.com is projecting UNC on the bubble but in for one of the top 8 seeds in the NCAA Tournament. That means the Heels would host a regional and a super regional if they advance that far.

Here's the NCAA bracket. UNC gets #2 Purdue, #3 Houston, and #4 NC A&T in its region. I know nothing about any of these teams. If the Heels advance to the super regional, they would host the winner of the Stetson regional. $1 to anyone who can tell me what city Stetson is located in without looking.
The committee really stuck it to Moo. If they win their regional, they'd likely face off against 2016 National Champion and top national seed Florida. LOL. If this happens, I'm going to have to dig some Gator gear out of my collection.

We beat A&T 1-0 earlier this year. That's all I know about those three teams.
ETA: Here is a break down of the other team's records. None of them have a winning record on the road, so that's good news.

It's in DeLand, Florida. I only know it because that's Chipper Jones' home town and he kinda gives them emotional support since they're kinda his home town team, so to speak.
Well I owe you a $1 then. My grandmother used to live there, which is the only reason I knew myself.
Purdue lost in the Big10 Championship game as the 2 seed.... They are an offense that plays small ball to score, Defense is solid and pitching is average...
Fukk Purdue and the train they rode in on
(get it because they're the Boilermakers? Anyone? Is this thing on?)
I have gotten at last minute before. Let me know as soon as you know and I'll do my best.
Diamond Heels start their road to Omaha at 2:00 today. For those of you who are stuck at work and can't watch the game, here is the link to the live stats.
They actually had lines out on this game. Interestingly, they were pretty spot on with the O/U at 11.5. But their spread of UNC -5.5 proved to be a little off.
moo and duke were nice enough to lose. Perfect day for triangle baseball in my opinion.
Moo's trophy room looks like this...
Looks like they had to sell off their bass fishing trophies to drum up the cash to pay Dennis Smith Jr.
Sorta. It's on watchespn. First game is in a rain delay now. Probably going to be at least an hour and a half before we take the field.
ETA:
Watch ESPN works for me. Thanks. Sounds like they’ll be starting up right when I get back from the gym if the weather holds
They need to just call the first game. Houston is up 14-3. Don't nobody wanna watch that mess.
